Sports and Athletic Performance

Dr. Alexander (Sandy) Kunej and Family Care Chiropractic have been helping athletes in Brantford and Brant County with sports injuries and performance for over 20 years. Athletes may experience many different benefits from receiving chiropractic care.  Not only can adjustments help when treating injuries from high-impact sports such as wrestling, football, and hockey, but they offer other benefits as well.  Athletes getting regular adjustments often notice improved athletic performance, improved range of motion (especially in endurance athletes), better flexibility, increased blood flow, may suffer from fewer injuries, and quicker recovery. You could say chiropractic provides “Natural Performance Enhancement” . 

As spinal adjustments will reduce the irritation of the nerve roots between the vertebrae, the healing time from minor injuries can be shortened, improving performance. Research studies confirm both high-impact and low-impact athletes can benefit from routine spinal adjustments.  For high-impact athletes, it increases performance and flexibility and lowers the risk for injury; for low-impact athletes (golfers, tennis players, and bowlers), chiropractic adjustments can help relieve the strain that is being placed on the body.  Chiropractic care offers a natural way to address and prevent many different ailments that often plague athletes.
