Regular chiropractic adjustments help baseball players significantly improve their long jump distance and increase muscle strength.
90% of golf injuries involve the neck or back. Chiropractors can help golfers correct postural imbalances in their swing to prevent injury.
Regular chiropractic care helps basketball players boost their SPEED, FLEXIBILITY, RANGE OF MOTION, BALANCE AND STRENGTH.

Why should athletes consider adding chiropractic care to their game plan?

CHIROPRACTIC CAN HELP YOU RECOVER FROM A SPORTS INJURY.

Being physically active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but most activities do involve a certain amount of risk. If you’ve been unlucky enough to score an achy back, a shoulder strain, a wrenched wrist, a sore knee, a foot or ankle sprain, or some other type of performance-limiting injury, seeking help from a chiropractor can help you recover faster so that you’ll spend less time stuck on the sidelines.

CHIROPRACTIC CAN PREVENT FUTURE INJURIES.

Chiropractic care is widely recognized for its ability to treat injuries to the musculoskeletal system, but many people fail to realize that it can also aid in injury prevention. Improper alignment can put additional stress on your joints and muscles, increasing your risk of suffering an injury. By detecting and correcting any misalignments, a chiropractor helps to promote physical balance in the body, which can improve your performance and prevent future injuries.

CHIROPRACTIC CAN BOOST ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE.

Athletes intent on improving their fitness and conquering a specific athletic challenge often reach a point where their progress stalls. At Loehr Health Center (formerly Loehr Chiropractic & Acupuncture), we can help you regain your momentum as you move toward your objective. Whether you run, jump, kick, throw, or swing, we have doctors specifically trained in the assessment of your range of motion and biomechanics. Refining your alignment with quality chiropractic care can improve your physical function and your athletic performance, making it easier for you to unleash the stellar athlete inside you.

Understand your body and performance.
