People who do exercise and sports
often run the risks of
recurring
injuries. These are
different from the acute "sprain or tear" and usually build
up slowly. For example runners and footballers often get
recurring
hamstring
injuries. A pelvic or hip problem may not give pain, but
will cause an immediate tightening of the hamstring muscle
to compensate, therefore making it much more susceptible to
injury.
When an injury becomes recurring, it is usually because of a
chronic
"overload"
from some other part of the body.
The key to treating these
conditions successfully is to understand the exact mechanics
of the spine and joints, and to restore them to optimum
function. This will often lead to a dramatic improvement in
performance,
because every joint and muscle is working to its maximum
potential.
Carl Lewis had a chiropractic check before each and every
race, to make sure he performed at his very best.
Chiropractors are therefore used by most professional sports
teams and many of the worlds Olympic Athletics
Teams.
Even the recreational athlete will benefit from a chiropractic check and can often expect a new level of performance.
