Football Injury Prevention and Chiropractic

Football Injuries

Injury prevention for any athlete starts with keeping their body healthy and optimized. Our chiropractic care is designed to do just that.

Chiropractic care focuses on the health and function of the entire body, with particular emphasis on the skeletal system, muscular system and central nervous system.

When the body’s central nervous system is optimized and 100% healthy, all systems within the body perform properly. When there are interferences (known as subluxations) in the central nervous system, the systems of the body are not able to function at peak levels which leave them susceptible to illness and injury.

Our chiropractic care for football players includes:

Stress and Overuse Football Injuries

Football places stress and overuse on many parts of an athlete’s body. From the weight of football equipment to the constant demands of training, daily practices and playing in games, a football player’s muscles, bones, joints, tendons and ligaments are placed under a large amount of stress and overuse.

Back pain and muscle pain are the most common types of stress and overuse health conditions for football players. Our chiropractic care is highly beneficial for athletes in treating these types of conditions.
