Lake Hiawatha, NJ, March 2014— Over the last two decades, chiropractors have become a key part of an athlete's training and recovery program. . Athletes train hard and endure significant physical demands. Many are sidelined with injuries that could be avoided, while others are still playing, but at less than peak efficiency simply because their structural system is not balanced. As a result, chiropractic care has become a mainstay in the care of world-class athletes. At the professional level, both coaches and athletes understand pain-killing drugs are not the answer and most times are not permitted. Chiropractic care is not only a drug-free and surgery-free option, but also can prevent injury and enhance performance. Athletic competition places an unusual amount of strain on the body and chiropractic treatment can help improve

posture, increase a person's range of motion and flexibility, reduce pain in major joints and increase blood circulation. Numerous athletes attribute the care they receive from their chiropractor, along with working with other health-care professionals, as a key to properly preparing their bodies to perform optimally in their given sport. . Chiropractors emphasize manual therapy including joint adjustment and manipulation with particular focus on joint dysfunction or subluxations. They consider the athlete as an integrated being, stressing keeping all the systems of the body functioning efficiently. Chiropractic care has the potential to positively impact lives. We encourage everyone at any age to come in and benefit from what even the greatest athletes in the world claim as their secret weapon.
