Chiropractic Alignment and Restorative Medicine: Changing the Game Both On and Off The Field

With the excitement around the Super Bowl and the professional athletes we watch, the question always arises: “How do their bodies handle the game?” In recent news, both chiropractic and restorative medicine has been found to be one of the top answers to maintaining and even reversing the effects of this physically demanding sport. However, what has also been found is that these therapies are not just for the professional athlete, but also for the everyday individual like you and me.

Blown out knees, joint pain, spinal damage, neck sprains are just some of the many injuries that NFL football players tend to experience when maintaining a successful football career. Often their symptoms are quailed with prescription pain pills and habit-forming solutions which eventually prove to be harmful after long term use. However, two of the secret solutions for many football players such as: Tom Brady, Jarvis Green, Sidney Rice, and Aaron Curry (to name a few), is chiropractic and restorative medicine.

These alternative solutions not only help to speed up injury recovery but also help to maintain their career’s longevity as NFL players. Who better to attest to this than Tom Brady himself, who is an avid believer in regular chiropractic adjustments. He says, “Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I'm about three inches taller and everything's in place.” Unfortunately for players, the most common solutions for football injuries are resolved with multiple surgeries and pharmaceutical drugs which is why many of them are now seeking alternative solutions that actually work. Those treatments are risky and tend to mask real symptoms and not address the main roots of pain issues.

Restorative Medicine and Chiropractic have become the go to solutions for many NFL athletes to help maintain not only their youthfulness but more importantly, agility on the field. As a sport that can often wreak havoc on a player’s body, recent studies have shown the healing capabilities that restorative medicine has had for them. When accompanied with consistent Sports Chiropractic, the results have been life changing for many pro-football players’ careers.

When a sports injury they sustain aggravates or causes misalignment in the spine or extremity joints, their bodies must devote a great deal of effort and resources in the way of compensation. Restorative medicine and chiropractic alignment, helps to support their bodies and remove some of the stress and pressures often associated with football injuries. Sports injuries often happen in the heat of the moment: a collision with another player, a dive for the ball or a miscalculated jump shot. When players find themselves wincing and stretching a little too often to relieve persistent pain from a sports injury, it may be time to consider a chiropractic adjustment or restorative therapy for improved overall body health and flexibility.

What also has been learned is that in addition to regular chiropractic services, the everyday individual (nonprofessional athlete) can benefit in same ways as the pro’s. Just as athletes choose, restorative therapies have become the go to solutions for the general public to help maintain youthfulness but more importantly increase mobility they once enjoyed in life. When pain limits them from completing everyday chores, spending time with loved ones, or maintaining activities they once enjoyed, often surgery or medication is also prescribed. These traditional methods can also mask symptoms or the real issues to their pain that can easily be reversed with restorative therapy options.
