Athletes who play sports professionally and amateurs who play for the love of the sport usually have an established doctor/patient relationship with at least one chiropractor. It is just part of the process. Athletes push their bodies to the limit on a regular basis. They need an experienced chiropractor to manage their pain and prevent future injuries. Your Seattle Chiropractor will use his advanced training of the musculoskeletal system to keep you in the game.

Strong core muscles are the secret to protecting the spine from injury. Athletes often take sudden bodily impacts and a strong core will help the body absorb the impact without injury. Chiropractors work with their patients to modify the workout routine of the athlete. The core abdominal muscles should get the time and attention they need in the gym in order to build strength.

Reducing inflammation has the effect of reducing pain and may prevent additional injury. Massage, inversion and ultrasound therapies can all be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Massage therapy relaxes the muscles which is helpful since tense muscles exacerbate the condition. Inversion tables are used to reduce pressure and tension around the spine. Regular ultrasound therapy sessions can improve mobility.

Reducing pain naturally and with non-invasive care means that the athlete will be less likely to turn to addictive pain medication. Drugs will mask the pain, which only makes the athlete more likely to sustain an injury. With chiropractic care the cause of the pain is addressed and conditions of the body like inflammation lessen.

As people age, their bodies to not have the same resilience as they once did. This does not mean athletes should quit playing sports. It just means they need to play smarter and with greater care.

Regular visits to the chiropractor can prolong the ability of athletes to play the game they love. Build core strength, see your chiropractor to obtain needed therapy and use the body you have, not the body you once had.
