For many athletes of all ages and various levels, chiropractic care has played a crucial component of a holistic training regime in order to achieve peak performance. In fact, there are three factors which are essential in order to maximise performance in any given exercise. Endurance, Strength and Structure (ESS) which encompasses cardiovascular fitness, and having a healthy spine and nervous system is essential for athletes to excel in their given sports, however, many athletes do not have a healthy balance between the three components.

In most sports and physical activities, a weak structure can lead to back pain or discomfort and as time goes on these imbalances can take a negative effect on the athlete’s ability.

However, sports chiropractic treatments are designed as a management, prevention and rehabilitation method of the neuromusculoskeletal system for athletes. Thus, athletes who partake in chiropractic care are ensuring the proper motion, which leads to better sensory-motor integration, thus improving the overall performance of the body.

Furthermore, chiropractors can also assist athletes through their treatments to promote improved balance and coordination. Evidently, these skills are essential in various physical activities and will reflect in improved performance.
