Sports not only help to promote a healthy lifestyle—they are fun. For this reason, young and old alike participate in a variety of activities involving athletic skill. In order to keep fit and safe while playing, there are a few things even pro athletes do.
One example is stretching before playing. Think back to when you last saw a sporting event, likely the players were warming up and stretching right before it was time to start. Keeping muscles flexible and warmed up before and after a game or match is something simple that can be done to help keep one safe from injury.
Caring for the spine is a very important way in which many professional athletes keep themselves in optimal health. Part of that regimen at times includes regular visits to an upper cervical chiropractor. This ensures that the upper vertebrae are properly aligned. How can that help? Consider the following benefits:
- Better balance
- Increased speed
- Improved agility
- Quicker recovery time
- Improved response time
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Promotes Spinal Health
Housed within the upper vertebrae are important channels of communication. The communication is between the brain and brainstem with the rest of the body via the central nervous system. Vascular and other networks are there as well. If there is a misalignment, it can delay or even obstruct the pathways. Keeping the pathways open allows for optimum performance while in play, but even in everyday activities. Injuries to this area can cause a host of issues. For lasting health on and off the field, maintaining proper alignment is important. If you play sports, come and see us at Body Balance Spinal Care. We can help make sure your upper cervical region is stable and properly aligned.
