Sports Chiropractic for Kids

Did you know…

By the age of 13, a person has experienced over 1000 traumas to the spine? Having a young athlete can multiply that statistic!

Youth sports injuries cost families over 67 BILLION DOLLARS a year in treatment! Chiropractic is a cheap and effective way to help your young athlete recover from and prevent injuries!

"The quality of healing is directly proportional to the function and capability of the nervous system to send and receive nerve messages."

Injuries

Injuries can occur with a major trauma, or after many micro-traumas that go unnoticed! Injuries result in compensation patterns that change our structure, which changes our function.

Using a “quick fix” such as Aspirin or bracing does not address the underlying cause of pain. Imagine having a flat tire and your mechanic telling you to just add more air everyday! Most people agree that changing the tire or fixing the leak is the more logical option. This is why the adjustment is so important. It can correct the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction.

Addressing the underlying issue is the best thing you can do for your child!

Performance and Spinal Alignment…

Untreated spinal misalignments DECREASE the body’s adaptive capabilities and INCREASE susceptibility to further injury and illness.

NERVE INTERFERENCE can also disrupt heart and respiratory function leaving athletes winded and more fatigued after the game. It can also cause muscle contractions and spasm, resulting in decreased strength and increased lethargy.

Athletes need their mobility

They don't need to quit sports - they need to treat the wear and tear of sports on the body with REGULAR CHIROPRACTIC CARE. regular adjustments during and after the sports season can increase agility and reaction time by 18% and speed by 10%. This advantage is drug-free and can be the difference between:

  • Making try-outs 

  • Avoiding injuries

  • Recovering from injuries

  • Scoring that game winning goal

  • Receiving a scholarship
