Kids In Sports Benefit From Chiropractic

Chiropractic Kirkland WA Kids and Sports

These days all major sports teams have a chiropractic team on staff or on call. Why is that? Well, sports are tough on the body. Football players liken every tackle to being hit by a semitruck. I heard this as recent as the Seahawks game this past Sunday. I first heard it said by Emmet Smith decades ago when the reasoning he gave for how he stayed in shape was thanks to Chiropractic Care.

If it is what the professionals are doing, why wouldn’t we want that level of care and health for our kids? Something as easy as regular adjustments help with coordination, performance, learning ability for new skills, and even healing should an injury occur.  Kids bounce back quickly all on their own because of their physiology, but with Chiropractic the nervous system can communicate this healing faster, more directly, and with more accuracy leading to faster healing times and stronger tissues because of the proper alignment in the scar tissue.

Just this past week, a teen soccer player came in with yet another sprained ankle and after our treatment was given in a timely manner her healing was evident by the evening.

Dr. Jeremy first saw a Chiropractor as a young athlete, and it led him to becoming the amazing Chiropractor he is today because of how it not only helped his athletic performance but his overall health as well.

Chiropractic Care can be important at any age, but when we are young our nervous system is growing and learning, the importance is invaluable. As an athlete, so much is being done on a deeper level than the conscious mind can process and that is why we rely on muscle memory, when our nervous system can communicate with every system clearly, we can shine in all that we do.

Chiropractic Care is for all ages and stages!

Chiropractic care focuses on healing the body naturally, holistically, and without the use of medication from the inside out. If you need help getting out of pain, schedule an appointment today!
