Chiropractic Care is for Everyone, Even Winter Olympians

It’s no secret that many athletes rely on chiropractic care to improve their performance and protect their overall wellbeing during a stressful time like going to a tournament or training hard to qualify for an event. 

Winter Olympians tend to focus on chiropractic care as they go through many extremes when training for each tournament, especially the Olympics. 

New research has found that athletes have stronger muscle contractions for around 30 minutes after an adjustment. They also had improved nervous system control over those muscles for around 60 minutes after an adjustment. This makes it far less surprising that chiropractic carers are an integral part of each winter Olympic team. However, it was only in 2010, for the winter Olympics in Vancouver, chiropractic care was available to athletes in the Olympic village. 

The understanding and demand for chiropractic care is growing year in, year out – especially for the most active members of society, like our professional athletes.
