90% of world-class athletes use this technique for better performance
“I’ve been going to chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It’s as important to my training as practicing my swing.”
–Tiger Woods
What do 90% of world-class athletes have in common?
No, not incredible butts (good guess though!)
They use Chiropractic Care to prevent injuries and level-up their performance.
90% of them!
Do they know something the rest of the world doesn’t?
For us, it comes as no surprise.
Chiropractic Care offers a natural and effective way to improve overall function and health.
By tending to the spine and nervous system, Chiro clears the way for the body to self-regulate, self-heal and reach the top of it’s game.
It’s intuitive. It’s safe. It’s like legal performance enhancement.
Hey – we said legal!
And if you’re serious about your sport – or simply do it socially – we want to let you in on the best kept secret of athletes.
Chiropractic Care can help you go faster, hit harder, jump farther and nimbly dodge an oncoming opponent. Here’s how:
-
Nervous system support
“My shooting has improved because of chiropractic. I feel more balanced and have more coordination and control. Since I have been under chiropractic care, I have improved by leaps and bounds”
– Gerald Wilkins, New York Knicks
The primary tenet of Chiropractic Care is to gently enhance nervous system function by removing interference to the spine.
Your nervous system is in charge of coordinating voluntary and involuntary movements, and transmitting signals to the rest of the body.
By nurturing it, your reaction time, agility, recovery, flexibility and general performance may improve.

Better blood flow and oxygenation
A 1997 study assessed the difference in performance between two groups of college baseball players; one group receiving Chiropractic Care, the other; not.
They tested athletic abilities such as vertical jump, standing broad jump, muscle strength and physiological tests such as electrocardiogram, blood pressure, pulse rate and treadmill stress testing before, during and after the experiment.
And the Chiropractic Care group showed significant improvement in all tests and general ability.
More interesting still, they displayed an increased capillary count, improving the flow of blood and oxygen to muscles while exercising.

Injury treatment
Sixteen injured female long distance runners were provided with Chiropractic Care as part of their rehabilitation. Not only did they recover quickly, seven of them scored “personal best” performances the next time they raced.
Why?
When something is rubbing and irritated, healing is delayed. Chiropractic adjustments reduce the level of irritation between spinal vertebrae, speeding up the recovery time from minor injuries and offering better outcomes – both in terms of pain and performance – for athletes. (reference)
Another Gold Medal moment for Chiro. Take a bow!

Injury prevention
“Bodybuilders and fitness people have been using, very extensively, chiropractors in order to stay healthy and fit. Whenever I had a little problem with my body, I always ran to one of my dear friends (Franco Columbo,D.C.). He was always right there with the adjustments. This is how I found out the best way of going is to use chiropractors, not only after injuries , but also before injury.”
– Arnold Schwarzenegger – bodybuilder, former actor and governor of California
Did you know that high-impact sports can place the same strain on the body as a car crash?
It’s imperative to seek regular adjustments and ‘tune-ups’ if you’re engaged in impact sport.
Remember, a body that works better is less prone to breakdowns and injury.

Body maintenance for seniors
‘Over-the-hill’ is a banned phrase at Spinecare.
To us, lifelong health, wellness and movement is a right.
And for ageing athletes, Chiropractic Care can help maintain a competitive edge by treating chronic and acute pain, increasing flexibility, enhancing strength and balancing and supporting overall wellbeing.
