Discover the High Performing Athletes Secret Weapon

 By Dr. Brent Lipke DC

Did you know that over 80% of Olympic athletes competing at the  Olympics receive chiropractic care before they compete.

Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn’t dream of competing without first getting a chiropractic checkup including; Joe Montana, Evander Holyfield, Jose Canseco, Dan O’Brien, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Tiger Woods.

These athletes have discovered the Chiropractic secret.  Research has shown that athletes under chiropractic care react 30% faster, are more coordinated, execute fine movements better and have improved accuracy and precision.

All this occurs because the nerve system in these athletes is kept free of stress and any injuries are corrected early before they can develop into a major problem in the future.

Feeling Stressed? Then this article is for you.

Avoid stress?  Impossible!  To be alive is to be under stress.  We can either grow, thrive and heal in the face of stress, or be reduced to dullness and disease.  The way we react to stress can be more important than the stress itself. 

Feeling Stressed?

There are three stages we go through when under stress.  First is the alarm reaction where stress hormones are released during a “fight or flight” response.  If the stress remains the stage of resistance occurs where our muscles tense up and blood pressure increases.  If the stress continues then the stage of exhaustion occurs, ultimately leading to disease.

Chiropractic focuses on removing nerve stress from our bodies as we live in a world of chronic stress.  This allows us to adapt better, heal better and get the most out of life!

More Tips on how to improve your posture

In our previous 2 posts Dr. Dan Vitale shared the importance of having a good posture and a few tips on how to improve your posture.

In this post Dr. Dan will share even tips on how to improve your posture.

• To provide yourself with the best support possible make sure that you sit with your back and buttocks as far back as possible in your chair keeping your back against the backrest.
• When standing for any length of time keep one foot elevated on a box or step.
• Maintain abdominal hollow and pelvic tilt to support the low back – your Chiropractor can show you what this looks like.
• Wear the best supportive footwear possible. Ask for a gait analysis to see if orthotics would be a benefit to you.
• Make sure that the pillow you sleep on is made for your head and not for your bed. Any of our staff can measure you for the correct pillow and explain why it is important to keep your neck well supported while you sleep.
• Do NOT sleep on your stomach.
• When lying on your side a pillow between the knees takes the strain off your low back and hips by minimizing pelvic rotation.
