Working Out and Sports: Playing it Safe

Daily stress, aerobic activities that push the body to its outer limits, and lifting weights put abnormal amounts of stress on bones, muscles and joints. Full speed collisions, falls to the ground, and head and limbs being rammed, pulled and twisted beyond their normal ranges. Even seemingly normal, easy, or moderate exercise. What are some of the damaging effects of this punishment, how likely are you to develop problems or be seriously injured, and how can you be sure you are performing at your optimum?

The development, growth and function of our bodies is directed and controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Luckily the brain is in a vault of bone. However, although the spinal cord and spinal nerves are also protected by the bones of the spinal column, these bones are freely moveable and can become damaged or misaligned easily. This creates pressure and interference to the spinal cord and nerves that will result in obscured growth, improper development, and poorer function.

When the muscles and joints are not working properly, they will become less flexible, weaker and more likely to become injured or deteriorate into arthritic or degenerative conditions. This pressure and interference causes decreased nerve supply to the tissues, organs, and systems of the body. This leads to impaired body functions, a loss of proper alertness, a lack of concentration and lowered energy. These problems will slow down results in your exercise routine, cause a poorer performance in sports, the classroom, or at work. A body functioning below normal capacity will have a lower resistance to infection or illness.

Chiropractors analyze the spine for the detection and correction of spinal misalignment called vertebral subluxation. A spine out of its proper alignment is much more prone to serious damage. Chiropractic adjustments align the spine and remove nerve interference, thus restoring proper health and optimum function. This makes you freer from illness, safer from injury, and allows you to perform at your best without the use of drugs or surgery. This is why the top professional and Olympic athletes get adjusted, and why millions of parents seek chiropractic for themselves and their families each year as a safer, natural form of health care.

Our purpose is to educate and adjust families toward optimal health
