Have you been following the Rio Olympics? It is just phenomenal to watch! Athletes from all over the world are performing seemingly impossible tasks with such precision and ease.

I think we all realize it takes a lot of training, dedication, and proper health care for bodies to perform at that level. Did you know that the majority of professional athletes use chiropractic care on a regular basis? Athletes like Ronda Rousey, Micheal Jordan, Tom Brady, and Tiger Woods (among many others) have thanked their chiropractors for playing an important part in their athletic accomplishments.

Chiropractic care helps:

  • Improve joint mobility
    • Joint mobility in the spine and extremities is needed for proper body movement patterns.
  • Clear the nervous system of any blockages
    • This may sound confusing but essentially, this allows the brain to effectively communicate with the rest of the body. You can probably appreciate that this is very important in athletic performances
  • Release muscle tension
    • When joints are properly aligned and nerve blockages are cleared, muscles are able to achieve a normal resting and active state

By now you might think, okay, I get it – chiropractic is important for athletes. But let me ask you this: do YOU enjoy a healthy body that moves properly? Would you like YOUR body to be in its best possible state to function optimally and avoid injury?

I sure hope the answer is yes – our health is incredibly valuable!

Now the great news is, you don’t need to be a professional athlete to enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care! Chiropractic is readily available to us in Canada and can benefit all of us.

So what are you waiting for? Athlete or not, you can visit your local chiropractor and enjoy these health benefits today.
