Do Chiropractors Really Improve My Health While Playing Sports?



Participating in a sport helps athletes of all kinds in a variety of ways. Whether it’s improving concentration, sleeping habits, or even something as simple as improving your mood for the moment, the benefits of sports is unmistakable. However, sports can be strenuous to the body and as such, the first impulse most have is to go see a chiropractor. Luckily, a chiropractor may be just the thing you need to keep yourself up and moving.


There are a lot of varying reasons why a chiropractor is the answer to your problem. In this blog, we’ve listed a few for you just to get started. Remember, chiropractic helps in every sport, whether you’re a wrestler or a bowler.


  1. You Can Prevent Injuries BEFORE They Happen


The best answer to a problem is to not have it in the first place. Most seek help only after they’ve been injured, but going to the chiropractor before an injury happens can reduce or even entirely prevent pain. Going regularly can prevent common problems such as…

  • Balance issues

  • Lack of Flexibility

  • Sprains

  • Strains

  • Swollen Muscles

  • Dislocations

All of these injuries can be causes by prior misalignment of the spine or untreated prior muscle pain. Even just a simple adjustment from our team can prevent these issues before they happen and lessen the pain. On that note…


  1. You Can Discover Pain Relief


Unexpected injuries happen, and we get that. Sometimes, all it takes is one misstep to cause muscle pain and chronic discomfort. Chiropractic care addresses the issue directly from the source and can speed up the healing process. Treatment also reduces the frequency of the same injury. 


  1. You Can Decrease Your Stress Levels


Another side-effect of not regularly seeing a chiropractor is decreased energy and increased stress. Sometimes, these problems can be solved by an unbalanced diet, a suboptimal amount of sleep, or even just discomfort in tense areas. You may feel tired frequently because you aren’t getting all the nutrients you need from your food - and even those you do get aren’t being utilized properly without the correct amount of sleep. There is no substitutes for a healthy lifestyle, and our team wants to help you achieve that goal.

There are so many oils out there to choose from but why does it matter which one your choose? Cooking oils can have significant implications for health, and choosing the right oil can play a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being. Here are a few examples of seed oils that are considered less healthy due to their composition and processing methods: Vegetable Oil : Vegetable oil is a generic term that often refers to a blend of different seed oils, such as soybean, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. These oils are commonly refined and processed, which can involve high heat and the use of chemical solvents. They are high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s, which can upset the delicate balance of essential fatty acids in the body when consumed in excess. Vegetable oils also tend to have a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which is linked to inflammation when not properly balanced. Soybean Oil: Soybean oil is widely used in processed foods and cooking due to its affordability an...

  Most people have heard about the benefits of turmeric at this point and probably about some of the popular combinations to increase bioavailability. Have you heard about the combination of Turmeric and fenugreek?? Turmeric and fenugreek, when combined, offer a synergistic effect that enhances the bioavailability of curcuminoids, which are the active compounds found in turmeric. This combination has several advantages over other combinations when it comes to maximizing the absorption of curcuminoids by the body. 1. Enhanced solubility: Curcuminoids, including curcumin, the primary curcuminoid in turmeric, have poor solubility in water. However, the addition of fenugreek significantly improves their solubility, allowing for better absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. 2. Delayed gastric emptying: Fenugreek contains dietary fibers and mucilage, which help in slowing down the emptying of the stomach. This delay allows more time for the curcuminoids to be absorbed in the small int...
