Chiropractic Boosts Sports Performance In Schaumburg
See How Health First Wellness Center Can Help You
The reason top athletes perform so well is that they train extremely hard, usually spending hours upon hours a day in the gym and on the field. They focus on building their muscle and improving their cardiovascular capacity. They concentrate on outwitting their opponent in training and practices, with the hopes of securing a win.
Reaching this higher level of execution and performance almost always involves using other tools to help improve the results. For instance, nutritional supplements ensure the body has the vitamins and minerals it needs to succeed and visualization may help prepare the mind to make all of the right moves. Well, chiropractic is another tool that may help when it comes to boosting performance, and Schaumburg, IL chiropractor Health First Wellness Center is here to help you achieve your goals.
In a study published in Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research found that upper cervical chiropractic manipulations helped 21 male baseball players achieve greater muscle strength and a longer jump distance after just 14 weeks of care. As a bonus, the subjects’ blood pressures and pulse rates decreased as well when compared to a control group, providing even more health benefits of chiropractic sessions.
Another piece of research posted in The Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation found similar positive results. In this case, 50 athletes (half male, half female) between the ages of 18 and 42 were tested and the group that engaged in chiropractic care improved their athletic ability more than twice the amount as the control group.
Chiropractic may boost sports performance and studies like these confirm it.

“Awesome friendly Staff and exceptional PT service. I was treated for my back problem at the clinic and everyone was so helpful including Dr.Eric, Dr. Elahi and PT Staff( Roy, Nikki, Rama and Ricky). They have an excellent team at the clinic and I am so happy with their treatment. Dana Sivak is the best Nutritionist I have ever met, and She helped me with my Diets. She answered all my health and diets related questions, and provided great advice related to diets and overall health. I would strongly recommend Dana service at the clinic.”

“I had a terrible subluxation on near my neck on my spine and had the pain radiating towards my entire left shoulder! I went to health first Schaumburg where right from the person who handled my appointments Marlena, to my doctor Erin Mayer (who btw is such a stunner and is such a lovely person) everyone were so supportive and helpful. I was given a 4 week schedule with about 3 days a week of appointments. I was promised to be able to move and be pain free with no medication in just 3-4 weeks , but the team there did their magic on me in just under 2 weeks. All this without any pain medication! Just brilliant! I hope my review helps you all :)”
