A Quick Look at Chiropractic Sports Medicine


The whole idea of healing the body without relying on surgery or medicine is quite practical and worth considering. One of the most used forms of treatment today is chiropractic. Sadly, most people believe that chiropractic care is limited to the treatment of back and neck pain. In this post, we will explain the benefits of chiropractic sports medicine.

What's Chiropractic Sports Medicine?

Sports Chiropractic, also known as chiropractic sports medicine, is an evolving and budding branch of chiropractic, which aims at improving the performance of athletes of different sports. This particular branch of chiropractic expertise is a great boon for athletes and others who are or want to be physically fit. Besides healing and preventing musculoskeletal injuries, sports chiropractic helps in improving overall performance, endurance, agility and strength. Chiropractic care has been around for hundreds of years, but it was in 1980 that a chiropractor started working with the United States Olympic medical team. Ever since then, the use of chiropractic care and healing in sports has only increased. Today, most of the professional teams have an in-house chiropractor that their athletes have at their disposal.

Understanding The Role of Sports Chiropractors

The job of a sports chiropractor is a specialized one. They often rely on specialized healing techniques along with other forms of non-invasive treatments for their clients, including cold laser therapy and spinal decompression. Sports chiropractors are expected to have in-depth knowledge and understanding of different common sports-related injuries. For athletes, chiropractors use a 'hands-on' approach for every injury to the best possible extent, without using drugs or medicines. In extreme cases, an athlete may need both therapeutic treatments and chiropractic healing, and for such situations, a sports chiropractor may suggest other forms of healing and care, as well. If you are physically active, visiting a sports chiropractor can be beneficial in many ways.

What Else Is There to Know?

Before you visit a chiropractor, you should know their areas of expertise. As mentioned, sports chiropractors are known for their understanding of injuries and common issues related to various sports. On your first visit, the concerned staff will ask a few questions and other aspects related to training, thoroughly examine you and possibly obtain diagnostics before rendering or suggesting a treatment plan. Look for clinics that are known for their treatment and can offer other forms of alternative treatment. Usually, sports teams do hire their chiropractors separately, but if you are an athlete and need more than just general care, you can consult an expert independently.

Finally, on your first visit, it is best to ask questions as for how chiropractic care can help you in particular. An experienced chiropractor should be able to discuss and explain these aspects in detail.

Here's How You Can Choose a Chiropractic Wellness Center


Unlike medications, chiropractic finds the source of the problem instead of masking it. Given that expertise and experience are critical for best care, it is often hard to pick a chiropractic clinic. In this post, we will guide you through a few aspects that you should take note of, especially if you are considering becoming a first time chiropractic patient.

Start with background and recommendations

If you want to find a clinic that offers first-class customer services and goodwill, you should start with recommendations. Asking family, friends and co-workers about the best clinics in your area, is usually best. This will just give you a decent start with the names, and you can compare clinics online. Chiropractic clinics don't just deal with only one form of therapy. Other therapies, such as cold laser therapy, spinal decompression and sports nutrition, are also offered for pain and discomfort. Sometimes, chiropractors may use more than one treatment at a time to the patient, especially if there's a time crunch (ie. going on a long trip in a few days)

Talking to a chiropractor

When you look at a chiropractic wellness center, your primary concern should be expertise. Usually, you can go ahead and make an appointment for a consult, only, to better understand the approach of the chiropractor. This is important to make sure you are comfortable with the chiropractor, they share your philosophy and to ensure a positive experience. You don't want to wait for hours for a session, and the chiropractor should ensure effective communication both before and after the treatment. There are a few questions that you may ask, such as -

1. What kind of chiropractic techniques and therapies do you and your therapists use? Do they know a range of different techniques, and if yes, how do they decide which to use?

2. Does the chiropractor perform manual or instrument adjusting? In most cases, it could be both, depending on the patient (ie. severe osteoporotic patients may only receive instrument adjusting). Depending on your condition and health, it is best to know the treatment approach.

3. Has the chiropractor handled similar patients in the past? What is the extent of his experience? If you are going to a clinic with several chiropractors that might be treating you, ask them about their individual professional experience.

4. Optimal chiropractic care usually requires experience and extensive training, so does the chiropractor in question have those qualifications? If yes, where did he/she get trained?

5. Regarding your condition, after looking at all the diagnostics (which could include: x-rays, MRI, CT, and bloodwork), will the chiropractor consider and/or suggest co-managing with another specialist?

If you can inquire and check for these few things, choosing a chiropractor should be easier. If you still have any doubts, you can even ask for a few references. Most clinics have websites, so finding details should be easy, and one can also choose to make an appointment online.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children


There are a growing number of people who have realized the benefits that are offered for both adults and children through chiropractic care. The good news: you are never too old or too young to benefit from the treatment offered by chiropractors, which will have the experience and training to provide superior care for patients. Modern chiropractors understand how to work with even the youngest patients to ensure proper health and well-being.

Chiropractic Care Benefits for Children

When children reach school age and begin to interact with other children in a different setting, they will also become susceptible to their nervous system and spine being compromised. These compromises can be brought about by heavy backpacks, rough housing and their sitting posture. A chiropractor can help to address these issues, as well as problems that may seem much less obvious.
For example, there is some evidence that suggests that chiropractic care may work to relieve and prevent allergies including watery and itching eyes, coughing and sneezing as well as the common cold. This is not suggesting that a chiropractic treatment will eliminate these issues; however, it may help to strengthen a child's immune system over a period of visits.

Treatment for Infants

The chiropractic treatment that your child receives will be custom tailored to each child, according the specific circumstances, as well as the weight and height of the child. The fact is that there is no minimum age for chiropractic care, and that even newborns may benefit from the treatment method. There are some cases where chiropractic care may be able to be used to detect various spinal problems that may lead to asthma, ear infections and colic. With early detection, you may be able to help to prevent the actual development of these various conditions as well as the complications that are associated with them in order to improve the quality of life, for even the youngest patients.

Treating Older Children

As children age, they may find pain associated with growing and changes with their body. A chiropractor can help to increase the flow of blood and fluids to promote optimum health. Chiropractor care can be used for children from infancy through the college years and beyond. Not only will it help to strengthen the immune system, but this type of treatment can also be beneficial for preventing future problems and pain in adulthood.

Your Child's Health Care Team

Chiropractic care is often considered an alternative form of medicine, due to the fact that it is all natural and non-invasive, and lacks the use of any type of medication. It can be used to treat a wide array of ailments, which has made it extremely popular in recent years. However, if you choose to take your child to a chiropractor for treatment, it is important to talk over the decision with all members of your child's health care team. In most cases, the primary care physician, which is usually a chiropractic physician, general practitioner or pediatrician, can help you coordinate the care that is achieved. You should keep in mind that a great chiropractor will always be willing to let you know when the condition that your child is suffering from is outside of their realm of treatment. This is when they will likely refer you to a different specialist to seek treatment.

While there are many people against the use of chiropractic care for children, it has many benefits that can last far into adulthood. If you want your child to achieve optimum health and well-being, scheduling regular chiropractic care visits can be extremely beneficial.
