Why Chiropractic Care is a Top Choice for Athletes
Chiropractic care is all about making your body perform correctly, restoring and enhancing its most fundamental functions. The better your body functions, the lower the risk of injury. A visit to Dr. Adamson before your athletic season will give you the opportunity to detect any imbalances and relieve tension that may hinder your training and performance or increase your risk of injury.
Athletes of all levels and ages seek out chiropractic care to treat and prevent injuries because chiropractors promote wellness of the whole self. When one area is injured, or weak from overuse, chiropractors, like Dr. Adamson, know that treating that one area alone is not enough because everything in the body is connected, working together, helping you make that basket, run that play, or swim that final lap.
Common Athletic Injuries
Athletic injuries can be acute or chronic. Acute injuries often arise from sudden movements, unexpected blows or poor conditioning. Running, jumping and tackling are examples of movements that can lead to tears, sprains and strains. Chronic injury results from overuse. Runners, golfers, pitchers and tennis players are just a few of the athletes who apply repetitive motion in their game, causing pain and injury over time. Athletic injuries can also arise from misalignment, lack of flexibility and muscular imbalances.
You want a physician who is experienced in treating athletes and identifying athletic specific injuries. Not only are these chiropractors better at treating the injury itself, but they also have specific techniques for avoiding reinjury. Dr. Adamson, is both an athlete and a specially trained, sports medicine chiropractor. Because she strives to get you back in performance shape, she is the best choice for sports injury care in the Lacey, Dupont, Tumwater and Olympia area.
