Most sports require near constant movement, which can be difficult if an individual has limited range of motion. Regular chiropractic care may include adjustments, heat or massage therapy, spinal decompression therapy and other related techniques. Such treatments aid in increasing flexibility and reducing muscle stiffness, inflammation and swelling, that may occur from intense competition or training. The body is able to heal quicker, allowing athletes to compete at optimal levels faster. Performance is further enhanced when athletes utilize chiropractic adjustments, as balance can improve, while energy and agility may also increase. Full body circulation, muscle and joint health are all boosted with the use of sports specific chiropractic care.
