THE ATHLETE'S CHOICE FOR SPORTS CARE
Many amateur and professional athletes are sidelined with injuries that could be avoided. Others sit it out on the bench because their injury does
not respond to ordinary treatment. Still others are playing, but at less than peak efficiency, simply because their structural
system is not in balance. Progressive coaches, athletes, and doctors are realising that pain-killing drugs are not the answer.
They merely cover up the symptoms, deceiving the athlete into actions which could make the injury more serious. Probably more than
any other health profession, Chiropractic's approach to health closely relates to the needs of the sports participant. Most sports involve
body contact, fast starts and stops and positioning that places an unusual amount of strain on the back and structural system.
Chiropractors consider a person as an integrated being, giving special attention to the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves.
Chiropractic is a natural health care method that stresses the importance of keeping all the systems of the body functioning efficiently so
the player enjoys peak performance, a minimum injury risk, and fast recuperative powers.
