Youth Sports Chiropractic in San Diego
Chiropractic care supports children as they grow and start participating in sports. When regularly adjusted, children tend to excel in athletics. Chiropractic helps prevent injuries and increases performance and proprioception. With this natural edge, they’re able to perform at their best.
It’s no coincidence that serious athletes and professional sports players get adjusted regularly for a competitive edge. Dr. Katie, being an avid athlete herself, and prior two-sport college athlete, loves taking care of youth athletes. Chiropractic care helps ensure that their bodies are in tip-top shape, moving and functioning properly, so they can perform at their highest level.
Can My Child Benefit?
As your child grows, their structure changes. Misalignments can occur during this time as the body adapts to the changes. Athletics can put additional stress on the joints and spine with no visible symptoms until much later. Regular adjustments can help prevent this from happening.
The spine helps to anchor muscles throughout your body. Whatever impacts the spine affects physical performance. When healthy, the spine can deal with the stress of daily life. If the issue is allowed to worsen, it won’t be able to handle the trauma and overall health will suffer.
Chiropractic is used by athletes in sports like
- Tennis
- Golf
- Basketball
- Baseball
- Hockey
- Track
- And more!
Many professional sports teams have made chiropractic care a part of their health regimen. Chiropractors train in how structure relates to function; sports chiropractic is a natural extension of this training.
By adding a focus on strength and conditioning as well as adjustments, flexibility, range of motion, endurance and muscle function can improve, reducing the chance of injury. If an injury does occur, a higher level of fitness will make recovery faster. Pain, inflammation and soreness will be reduced.
