Improve Your Competitive Edge


by Scotia Chiropractic

Top level athletes increasingly seek regular chiropractic care to Enhance performance and Prevent injury
Athletes require all parts of their body to be working at there optimum to be able to work in a co-ordinated and cohesive manner. At competitive levels, athletes may not be able to take drugs for inflammation and pain relief. Chiropractors do not prescribe allopathic drugs, but have developed procedures to assist the early resolution of injury. We are able to assist the athlete in achieving optimum body mechanics, ensuring maximum performance whilst conserving energy.

Injuries can be caused by:

  • Poor co-ordination
  • Lack of balance
  • Contact in sport
  • Excessive loading
  • Poor warm-up
  • Repetitive jolting or jarring
  • Insufficient preparation
Rapid recovery from injury is critical for the athlete. Muscles, tendons and ligaments depend upon proper joint movement for peak performance. Injuries to these tissues can reduce range of motion, affect nerves, decrease blood supply and leave you on the sideline.

Chiropractors at Scotia Chiropractic recognize that faulty body mechanics can place stress on the nervous system. This restricts the range of motion, reduces strength, slows reflexes, shortens endurance, impairs balance, upsets co-ordination and decreases performance. Chiropractic care helps restore function to spinal joints, improving muscle balance and removing nerve irritation which helps speed the healing of soft tissues. Chiropractic care for these types of injuries has become increasingly popular. At Scotia Chiropractic your doctor of chiropractic can work with you to produce a care plan dependant on your needs. Whether you are professional athlete, a jogger or a weekend warrior , chiropractic care can help treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to the spine, arms, legs, feet, hands, chest, head and jaw.

Your doctor of chiropractic at Scotia Chiropractic will be able to give you advice on appropriate fitness workouts, regular stretching, preparation exercises, training programme to suit your needs, footwear and clothing, appropriate strapping and nutrition.
