Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
Athletes have the most physically demanding jobs in the world. They train year-round for a season that lasts between a few weeks to a few months. Olympic athletes go even harder than the professionals—Olympians train for years to have only a few moments to get the gold. With all of this training, it is no wonder why a lot of professionals (mainstream and Olympic) complain about muscle and joint pain with fatigue in their limbs. Further, it can be difficult for them to find pain relief outside of ice and heat, because of the risk of addictive drugs. The best thing that an athlete can do is go to a chiropractor to find solutions for their pain without invasive or addictive qualities. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or competitive athlete, here’s how chiropractic can help athletes.
Most of the time we feel pain in our bodies, it comes as a byproduct of poor circulation and overworked muscles. Your spine is the tower that powers your entire body; if there is something wrong or pinched there, you will feel that in other places. Having your spine professionally adjusted means that your entire spine is decompressed using a series of movements, pressures, and massages designed to find you relief from pains and increase circulation. This happens because as the spine is decompressed, your blood flows better and your body relaxes into its natural state. Muscle and joint pain with fatigue are often gone by the end of our sessions, and it is a good thing, too, since getting them back to training is key for athletes.
