Most of the greatest benefits achieved with Chiropractic adjustments go well beyond the alleviation of pain in the back, neck, or extremities. Many photographs capture Usain Bolt, the fastest person in the world, receiving Chiropractic care during warm ups or shortly before competition. Bolt and other athletes representing the highest levels of worldly competition make Chiropractic care a staple of their training regimen. Golfers, basketball players, wrestlers, and athletes in virtually every sport utilize the unique benefits of Chiropractic care. In addition to improving motion and reaction time, chiropractic adjustments also aid in recovery and allow athletes to push themselves in training sessions to achieve greater gains in preparation for the spotlight of competition. Coaches in all sports love Chiropractic because they know that Chiropractic care helps their athletes prevent injury and recover more fully and quickly.

Other benefits of regular Chiropractic adjustments include improved nervous system function, mobility, balance, and reaction time. These assets help maximize athletic performance in professional and recreational competitors. A study published in 2015 split a group of female athletes into two groups. One group received specific adjustments to areas of misalignment in a pelvic bone. The other group received functional muscle stretching to relieve soft tissue imbalances in the lower back. The results showed that elite female athletes receiving a Chiropractic adjustment to their pelvis experienced an increase in vertical jump height when compared to a control group. The group receiving additional stretching exhibited no change in vertical jump height while the group that received Chiropractic spinal adjustments experienced an average increase of 3.6 centimeters to their vertical jump height. Evidentiary studies continue to mirror previously produced evidence that Chiropractic adjustments unlock kinetic potential in the body.

Chiropractors do not seek to treat a condition, pain, or vertical jump height impairment. The purpose of Chiropractic adjustments focuses on restoring motion in the bones and joints of the spine. By improving movement and joint integrity, the health of nervous system impulses from brain to body improve due to the intimate connection between the spine and the brain. Appropriate alignment and movement in the spine alleviate pressure and negative feedback into and out of the brain. The brain better perceives internal and external needs as the spine becomes more well-adjusted. Every athlete of every level of competition, both professional, and recreational, deserves to understand the positive impact of whole-body health which comes from Chiropractic care. Access to regular spinal adjustments improves function and performance. Unlock greater potential with Chiropractic.

The very first Chiropractic patient did not receive adjustments for neck or back pain. His pursuit was health and restoration. Approximately 93% of current Chiropractic patients visit a Chiropractor for the first-time seeking relief from back or neck pain but soon discover benefits which extend far beyond the scope of pain relief. Evidence based research like the initial case of Harvey Lillard continues to grow and educate more people about the science, unique process, and healing philosophy surrounding Chiropractic care. Chiropractic gained an initial following in the early 1900s. The flu pandemic of 1918 served as the major watershed moment in time which earned Chiropractic worldwide acclaim. The Spanish flu epidemic claimed the lives of 500,000 Americans and millions of others around the world. Historical health documents and statistics reveal that people receiving spinal adjustments for nervous system health experienced a much lower casualty rate than those not under chiropractic care. The global fear of flu and sickness led many people to begin utilizing Chiropractic care to strengthen their immunity and better prepare their bodies to combat sickness and disease.

Scientists and researchers struggled at the time to understand why such incredible health improvements occurred through the spine that seemed unrelated to spinal health. Better anatomical research and scientific methods evolved with time and helped better explain the function of the central nervous system as it relates to both spinal care and overall health. An intimate connection exists between the spine and nervous system. Better mobility and communication through the spinal cord and nervous system allow the body to better regulate immunity, hormones, and healing. These reasons alone provide ample reason for children, adults, and seniors to investigate and experience Chiropractic care without any presence of back or neck pain.

Chiropractors do not claim to heal or cure diseases. Chiropractic adjustments focus on removing interference and immobility from the brain to body communication system. Over 90% of people initially go to a Chiropractor to address an issue of pain but evidence of improvement in energy, immunity, athletic performance, memory, and concentration circulate as testimonies that continue to increase the number of people who seek nervous system care for optimal health and overall wellness.

Side effects of Chiropractic care provide a litany of reasons to pursue nervous system health. Patients report better sleep, lower stress, and hormonal balance as proactive improvements which lead to healthier relationships, better school/job attendance, and an overall improvement in quality of life. Recent research determined that over 55 million American adults visited a Chiropractor in their lifetime and approximately 19 million people consulted with a Chiropractor in the past 12 months. These growing numbers represent a health care option trusted by more and more people in all fifty states and around the world as nearly 100,000 Chiropractors pursue better health care for millions of people worldwide every single day.
