Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Training, preparing, and competing are all part of what makes sports so much fun.<\/p>\n

Wait – what about rest and recovery?<\/p>\n

Afterall, the majority of motions commonly seen in many popular sports can place a tremendous amount of stress on your neck and back.<\/p>\n

And while our bodies are incredibly strong and resilient, rest and recovery days are necessary for athletes at all levels.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to take an all or nothing approach when it comes to what you do on a rest or
\nrecovery day compared to a training or game day.<\/p>\n

Your needs during training and your needs during recovery depend on a wide range of factors.<\/p>\n

Chiropractors understand this and are uniquely trained to assist athletes in recovery both before and after competition.<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, why do athletes need a chiropractor?<\/p>\n

During training, you\u2019re pushing and challenging your body with the goal of improving your
\nperformance.<\/p>\n

As part of that process, you may encounter some level of back pain.<\/p>\n

And with that back pain often comes spinal stiffness.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just one example of an area where chiropractic care shines for athletes.<\/p>\n

Chiropractic adjustments can help you keep your training on track by actively improving your
\noverall range of motion and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Likewise, during rest and recovery, the use of soft tissue therapy and other techniques can help
\nwith tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and recovery acceleration as a whole.<\/p>\n

Through training and recovery, we have your back!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • If you experience spinal stiffness or other restrictions in your movement while training,
    \nchiropractic can help.<\/li>\n
  • Chiropractic adjustments can specifically help improve your range of motion, which can
    \nhelp better facilitate the healing processes in your body.<\/li>\n
  • Chiropractors often offer soft tissue therapies targeted at the muscles of the body to
    \ncomplement and boost the effects of the adjustments used to treat the joints of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Don\u2019t get the wrong idea!<\/p>\n

    You don’t need to be an Olympic athlete to enjoy the benefits chiropractic has to offer.<\/p>\n

    Former athletes, current athletes, soon-to-be athletes, amateur athletes, weekend warriors – everyone can benefit from chiropractic care.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s no exaggeration.<\/p>\n

    When you move better, you feel better, and you heal better.<\/p>\n

    Regardless of your health goals, we want to be a part of the team that keeps you off the
    \nsidelines and actively enjoying the game of life.<\/p>\n

    So, if you enjoy getting up and getting active and are looking for a chiropractic sports therapy
    \nclinic in El Dorado Hills or Granite Bay, you know where to go!<\/p>\n

    Our doors are open, and we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n
