Pain killing drugs are not the answer to sports injuries. They are merely a “quick fix”, so the athlete does not have to be sidelined. Although the pain killers cover up the pain and allow the athlete to continue to play, more injuries result out of this. In addition, the athlete is never playing at 100%.

Many sports are physically demanding and take a toll on the body. Fast starts and stops, physical contact, and constant pounding are all a part of sports. While going through this rigorous activity, the spine is sure to become misaligned. A misaligned spine can cause interference in the nervous system. Interference in the nervous system could mean improper functioning of organs and tissues. Injuries may not heal quickly enough as a result of this.

At Gold’s Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we take corrective action by manipulating (or “adjusting”) the spine and other joints to restore normal nerve transmission to the vital parts of the body. Healing potential is also improved as a result of chiropractic care. Gold’s Chiropractic uses an all natural approach for caring for the athlete with a concentration on the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. We provide healthcare without the need for surgery or medication. Getting chiropractic treatment can mean better performance, faster recovery, and less risk of injuries.

Famous athletes such Nolan Ryan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnny Damon, and Carl Lewis are advocates of chiropractic care. Former San Francisco 49’ers running back, Roger Craig, has been retired from football for more than 10 years and is still in great shape. He runs 14-15 miles per week. Craig has attributed his healthy lifestyle to chiropractic which he has used since he was a kid.
