Chiropractic Care and Athletes: A Great Team

Professional athletes, including those competing in the Olympics, integrate chiropractic care into their holistic health approach. But what exactly are the benefits? Regular chiropractic care can effectively contribute to enhanced performance by improving reaction time, reducing the risk of injuries, and expediting recovery periods. These advantages aren’t exclusive to elite athletes; individuals at all levels can experience similar benefits.

It’s not just about the spine; regularly evaluating the extremities is crucial to optimizing their function and facilitating swifter injury recovery. Are you unfamiliar with extremity adjusting? Dr. Julie has extensive experience adjusting toes, feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, and more. Athletes who have incorporated chiropractic care into their wellness routine frequently report feeling physically stronger and achieving better workout results. Complementing chiropractic care with the expertise of professionals like physical and massage therapists can further aid in injury recovery and optimize overall performance levels.

Dr. Julie has 19 years of experience helping athletes of all ages and abilities. From hardcore athletes looking to improve strength, speed, or performance to gain an edge to “weekend warriors” seeking to stay competitive, Serendipity Chiropractic is the right choice. Travel ball, competitive dance, and other activities for our youth are also part of Dr. J’s expertise. Young pitchers can experience excessive stress on their arms. Collisions in football, at any age, need to be addressed due to the stress put on the body. Additionally, addressing the repetitive stress on joints from hours of dance and gymnastics is essential. Dr. Julie utilizes the latest technology, including spinal thermography, surface electromyography (sEMG), and direct digital X-rays (when needed). Our office is blessed with a wide array of community athletes. Whether your workouts happen at Sideyard Crossfit, Middleton Fitness Center, Middleton Parks & Rec, your garage, or adventuring outdoors, Dr. J’s got your back. (pun intended). Her (cough, cough, middle-aged) hubby is a long-time (minimalist/barefoot) runner, washed-up amateur baseball player, still-at-it Spartan Racer, and occasional mountain biker, and she has been his chiropractor since Day 1 (2003-ish).
