Why Should Every Athlete Start Seeing the Team @ Graybar Chiropractic & Rehab? 

Increase Mobility

In sports medicine, chiropractic adjustments help to minimize pain from movement and increase flexibility. This is obviously important for professional athletes, but it should be important to everyone else, too. Increased mobility through flexibility can help keep you from getting injured.

​

Ease General Pain

In most contact sports, smashing into each other – on purpose or NOT; can lead to a lot of soreness, aches, and pains. Even though you may not spend a great deal of time crashing into other people on purpose, regular exercise can cause the same problem. Chiropractic care can help to keep your body working as it should in order to perform better and ease aches and pains along the way!

​

Prevent Injuries

Studies have found a direct link between regular chiropractic care in athletes and fewer sports-related injuries. The above-mentioned increase in flexibility and mobility plays a big role in injury prevention for athletes as well as weekend warriors. This is because it helps to keep the body strong, and a strong body is a body that is more injury resistant.

​

Better Endurance and Strength:

It’s easy to see why every professional athlete benefits from better strength and endurance, but it's really good for US too. Increased endurance and strength are really helpful in increasing your ever-important mobility. As you age, mobility will help to keep you strong and less prone to accidents and injuries that can have a huge impact on your health.

Is the true skill of the chiropractic physician.
