Top 4 Chiropractic Benefits for Athletes in Prior Lake, Shakopee, Savage

Written By Dr. Thaddeus Sharikov

You don’t have to be a high level athlete like Tom Brady or Tiger Woods to experience the benefits of chiropractic! Did you know that virtually every professional sports team has a chiropractor on staff at all games? That is because they understand that chiropractic helps every athlete perform at their optimal level!

Here are the top 4 benefits that both professional athletes and everyday athletes can enjoy through chiropractic.

  1. Improved athletic performance. A chiropractor helps evaluate your body for imbalance and misalignment. If one side is stronger than the other side, or if you carry your weight on one hip vs the other - this can directly affect your performance! Can you imagine if you are a runner and your pelvis is twisted to one side? Not only with this prevent you from performing your best, it can even set up you for injury. A well-balanced body is critical for every athlete to be at their best level.

  2. Increased flexibility. Misaligned areas in the body will cause your muscles to tighten up. Tight muscle are a lot less flexible than relaxed muscles. On top of that, if you have misalignments in your spine, this can decrease range of motion and prevent optimal flexibility.

  3. Improved recovery times. A well-aligned body will have relaxed muscles. A relaxed muscle is vital for the normal flow of fluids through the muscle. This will also help with preventing lactic acid build up.

  4. Decreasing pain. Chiropractic helps athletes through a “prehab” instead of “rehab” approach. By tuning the body, this helps prevent injuries and pain. Whether an acute or chronic sports injury, chiropractic can help restore your body into alignment and help you feel better during and after your activity.
