Football season is upon us. There is no doubt that football is a rough sport, and at times it can be downright brutal, especially on the body.
Footballers experience several injuries, some serious, including head and neck, ankle, knee, and spinal. Chiropractic care has become a popular, viable method of not only treating injuries but also for managing injury-related pain and even injury prevention.
Below are several significant benefits that footballers can learn from chiropractic care.
1- Chiropractic Improves Mobility:
The body has a variety of joints that allows different types of movement. For example, your hip joint’s primary motion is extension/flexion, which is particularly important while running on the field and even for those seated and standing in the bleachers. The hip joint also rotates internally and externally. For football players, that rotation is used while players twist, turn, crouch, and pivot. For fans jumping up and down excitedly, that rotation is necessary. When you have a better range of motion and can run freely without pain, you will be able to do your part to bring victory to your team much more effectively.
2- Chiropractic Helps Joints Function Properly:
Joints are the physical connection between two bones. They have fibrous materials or a piece of cartilage in the middle, are full of fluid that allows smooth movement, and provides nutrition to the structure. When the joints function optimally, footballers are able to perform better and spectators can watch more comfortably.
3- Chiropractic Care Helps Joint Remain Lubricated:
The body’s joints are full of fluid. Every cell in your body needs, and is composed of, water. Both athletes and fans should drink the proper amount of water daily and regularly. Footballers require more as they’re expending energy in the game or practice. Proper water consumption provides the groundwork for proper cellular function and joint lubrication. It’s wise to decrease or limit the number of fluids consumed that dehydrate the body, specifically alcohol and caffeine. If you consume those regularly, your body will need additional water to compensate.
Optimally functioning joints are required for optimal functioning whether it’s playing on the field or watching from the sidelines.
4- Solid Body Maintenance:
The seriousness of football sports leads to frequent injuries. However, soreness and stiffness occur frequently. Many players use chiropractic care to ease the general pain that comes from overexertion and rough play. They may not be injured, per se, but are experiencing the normal pain that comes with the territory when one is an athlete. Chiropractic care keeps the body working as it should at the optimal athletic performance.
5-Pain relief and pain management :
Reducing pain, especially from injuries to the head and neck is of paramount importance for all football players. Treatment from a professional chiropractor has been shown to be an effective way to relieve pain without the need to take dangerous and potentially addictive medications
6-Increase strength and endurance:
Chiropractic care has been linked with increased muscular strength. While it is often thought of as a way to relieve pain, it has been shown to effectively promote strength in the muscles after only a few sessions. This can help footballers avoid injury by combining the increase in strength with increased mobility. This also works to promote endurance and stamina.
