Athletes frequently seek chiropractic care after being injured, but chiropractors can also provide preventative care. When your body is tight or sore, your range of motion is restricted. As a result, running, jumping, and exercising become more difficult. 

Many athletes ignore their physical pain because they don't want to disappoint their teammates or coaches. However, being a team player when your body isn't in optimum shape can increase your risk or injury.  Whether you're shooting basketballs, running on the track, or playing football on the field, chiropractic care from Monitto Chiropractic will keep you safe and prevent future injuries. 

Spinal Misalignment with Chiropractic Care

Your spin provides structural stability to your body, protects your nerves and internal organs, and promotes flexibility. However, a misaligned spine offers little protection to your body and increases your chances of sustaining a serious injury on the field. That is why Monitto Chiropractic is concerned about spinal misalignments: we understand that sports injuries can occur at any time.

When your spine is misaligned, you may experience discomfort and your health may suffer over time, especially if you disregard the misalignment. When the vertebrae in your spine press against nerves, muscles, or other parts of your body, you may experience these symptoms such as:

• Pain
• Discomfort
• Stiffness
• Reduced Range of Motion
• Lack of Energy

Enhance Your Range of Motion with Adjustments and Exercises

When your spine is misaligned, it's difficult to bend, stretch, or flex. Monitto Chiropractic can help you get your body back on track with chiropractic services. We do a thorough evaluation before recommending treatments to ensure that your body receives the care it needs. 

Many athletes' range of motion is improved through spine manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment. A healthy range of motion prevents injuries by allowing your body to work as it should. 

Heal Quickly from Existing Injuries

As a result of an untreated injury, you may experience muscle stiffness, tension, or cramping. Your injury may also limit your range of motion or make it harder for you to move quickly. Sustaining one injury increases your chances of developing future injuries. 

When you're injured, your body isn't at its optimum, which can lead to a variety of issues during athletic activities. Athletes that are injured or have experienced injuries in the past may:

• Overextend Their Arms 
• Have a Slower Response Time
• Fall While Running
• Knock Vertebrae Out of Place When Kicking or Running

Don't let one untreated injury jeopardize your health or performance. Monitto Chiropractic provides adequate care that accelerates the healing process and prevents subsequent injuries or reinjuries, particularly in sports and physical activities.
