How to Stay Injury Free in the NFL | Sports Chiropractor in West Omaha, NE
Hey there I’m Dr. Jeremiah Sample from Family First Chiropractic. I’m here today to talk about how chiropractic care can help you stay injury free and make your football player a better athlete!
Chiropractic Care and Your Ability to Recover
Now according to the US News and World Report up to 25 million people a year actually visit a doctor due to injury suffered from athletics. In fact, injuries are the number one reasons why professional athletes have to retire early. With chiropractic care, however, we can not only increase your ability to play better, but we can reduce the amount of time that it takes for muscles and joints to heal faster. Now, with football, it’s a sport that requires a lot of mobility, a lot of speed, a lot of power, and a lot of training. Now with that, we often get not just injuries from falls and tackles, but also overuse from training too much or practicing too hard. With chiropractic, what we do is we identify where the issues are in the spine that are causing impingement on the nervous system. This impingement limits the ability of the brain to communicate with the body and vice versa. Now over time, what’s going to happen is it’s going to slow down your reaction time, effecting coordination and proprioception. By removing that interference you get to moving better on the field, but also those bumps and bruises that you suffer go away quicker!
