In the dynamic world of sports, athletes constantly seek ways to enhance performance and ensure quick recovery from injuries. At Market Mall Physio & Chiro in Calgary NW, we specialize in providing top-tier chiropractic care tailored for athletes’ unique needs.
Is chiropractic care beneficial for athletes?
Absolutely! Athletes, from amateurs to professionals, can reap significant benefits from chiropractic services. Our approach at Market Mall Physio & Chiro focuses on maintaining spinal function, reducing muscle and nerve tension, improving flexibility and mobility, and alleviating pain and muscle soreness. Chiropractic care is not just about injury treatment; it’s about enhancing overall performance and well-being. We emphasize pre-rehabilitation care, adopting a proactive approach to prevent injuries and optimize athletic performance.
How does chiropractic care enhance athletic ability and assist post-injury?
Our specialized chiropractic services are designed to assess, diagnose, and treat various conditions, thereby improving athletic performance. We identify and treat injuries, offering specialized exercises for muscle rehabilitation. Our team also assesses functional abilities, providing valuable insights for training with or without a personal trainer.
In-season load management is another critical aspect of our care. We aid in recovery through manual therapy, joint mobilizations, manipulations, needling, and tailored exercise/mobility programs, all aimed at improving musculoskeletal function. This ensures athletes are always ready to perform at their best.
Collaborating with team trainers, we ensure optimal performance for each athlete. Additionally, we conduct baseline testing for concussions, crucial for athletes in contact sports, to establish a safe return-to-sport protocol and reduce the risk of re-injury.
When should an athlete visit a chiropractor post-injury?
Gone are the days of waiting a week or two post-injury to see a chiropractor. Current research suggests that immediate chiropractic intervention post-injury can lead to superior results. Early chiropractic care accelerates healing, reduces pain, and kickstarts rehabilitation. At Market Mall Chiropractic, we employ various techniques, including soft tissue work and exercise programming, using adjustments as a complementary tool when necessary.
What sports injuries respond well to chiropractic treatment?
Chiropractic treatment is effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, similar to physiotherapy. Our experience at Market Mall Physio & Chiro includes treating athletes from various sports disciplines:
- Upper extremity prehabilitation for defensive linebackers of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
- Knee and shoulder treatments for top youth tennis players.
- Prehabilitation for a national pickleball athlete and a U18 swimmer on Team Canada.
- Rehabilitation for shoulder and mid-low back pain for the University of Calgary’s competitive swim team.
Sports injuries are our specialty, and we are dedicated to helping athletes return to their sport or maintain optimal performance.
