Mahler Family Chiropractic Center

Chiropractic is playing a larger and larger role in all forms of athletics. Today, many coaches and colleges as well as a number of Olympians make considerable use of chiropractors.Chiropractic care has been in use for over 100 years and plays an important part in swimming and other sports.

Everyone who's ever played sports has at one point or another suffered some kind of an injury. Be it a muscle pull, a sprain/strain injury, a repetitive stress injury or a major trauma, injuries are a part of playing sports!So what can you do to treat sports injuries? And who is the most appropriate type of doctor for treating these types of injuries? When most people suffer a sports related injury, they'll try an over the counter medication (such as Tylenol, Motrin or Aleve). If that doesn't fix the problem then they'll go to their family doctor for something stronger. Unfortunately, regardless of the type of drug that is used, that approach doesn't cure sports injuries. Drugs only temporarily mask the symptoms. Instead, you should consider a physical medicine approach to treating sports injuries. Physical medicine includes chiropractic adjustments coupled with a rehabilitation program which is designed to improve functional range of motion, stabilize and strengthen the supportive soft tissues, foster balance and coordination and of course - get you out of pain as quickly as possible. Many professional athletes and 85% of all Olympic athletes rely on chiropractic care to keep them in top shape and to help them bounce back from injuries. The world's best athletes - such as Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Joe Montana, (decathlon gold medal winner) Dan O'Brien, Evander Holyfield, Lance Armstrong, etc.., are all advocates of chiropractic care. It works for them and it will work for you too!
