CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
At CHIROPRACTIX you can see that there are patients with multiple level activity who come into the clinic. Amongst those are some of Ireland’s top athletes across a number of sports who compete on the national and international stages regularly and utilise Our chiropractic service to help keep them injury free, pre-checked to spot joint and muscular instability and alignment issues, and to ensure that the nervous system is functioning at its optimum by removing any mechanical interference which may be causing performance plateau or decline.
The International Federation of Sports Chiropractic has a Research Commission that oversees promotion, development and dissemination of sports chiropractic science, and there are large movements forward with research showing how utilising chiropractic care for athletic performance is beneficial. One recent study in particular showed that a single spinal manipulation session can increase maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) force for up to 30minutes, indicating that scheduling an adjustment immediately during a warm up 30 minutes prior to power, jumping or heavy loading events may optimise neural priming (waking up the nervous system / brain - body connection before physical activity).
We’re delighted to see so many people benefit from chiropractic care from people using exercise to become more healthy, to the professional athletes competing on a world stage.
