Recreational and organized sports are becoming an increasingly important part of our society's daily activities. People are hearing the message to become more active and to support their children in sports and fitness activities - and many are actually doing it!
Currently, organized chiropractic covers in excess of 30,000 sports and fitness events per year. These include football, golf, hockey, tennis, fishing, driving, track and field, dance/theatre, raquetball, weight lifting, triathlons, cycling, bowling, skating, rugby, body building, soccer, rodeo, swimming, auto racing, power lifting, the Olympics and more!
That's why Doctors of Chiropractic have before them, not only an excellent opportunity to meet the needs of the amateur and professional athlete, but also those of the weekend warrior.
Downtime or less than top form cannot be allowed to happen in competition, so it benefits the athlete to demand quick effective treatment to stay at peak performance in a competitive activity, as well as continuing with maintainance treatment to stay that way. This could account for the ever-increasing popularity of chiropractic among athletes.
Many athletes feel chiropractic gives them the best "on" and "off" the field care utilizing natural methods of health care, without fear of drug reations, loss of alertness, or contest disqualification.
There is no questions that an athlete performs better when under chiropractic care. That's why many amateurs and professional wouldn't dream of entering competition without first getting a chiropractic spinal checkup.
Chiropractic's respect for the healing wisdom of the body, removal of spinal stress that interferes with the flow of natural body energies, and promation of spine, joint, muscle and nerve balance and stability make it the health care of choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Before long, worldwide sports-governing bodies will not only recognize, but encourage the inclution of chiropractors' input; a testimony to the effectiveness and appropraiteness of our fresh, natural, common-sense approach to health. |
