Blog post #284 from Ann Arbor, Michigan, chiropractor Mike Tannenbaum, D.C., of Tannenbaum Chiropractic, LLC: Chiropractic and Athletes

Did you know that every NBA, every NFL and every MLB team plus hundreds of professional tennis players, World Cup soccer players and Olympic gymnasts have chiropractors as part of their care team. Also, chiropractic has been part of the U.S. health/performance provider team at every Olympics since 1980. Athletes utilize evidence-based chiropractic care because they know it enhances their performance.

Athletes appreciate chiropractic because they know that chiropractic relieves pain, improves mobility and flexibility, and helps prevents injury without the use of drugs or surgery. Research has shown that chiropractic improves balance and reflexes, which benefits athletes by helping them improve their athletic performance.

Common Conditions of Athletes that Chiropractic can Help With:

• Pain and general physical discomfort including in the back, neck, arms, hands, legs, and feet

• Reduced range of motion

• Taut and tender muscles

• Inflammation (swelling)

• Tingling and numbness (known as paresthesia)

Whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or a casual exerciser, chiropractic can help you improve your physical performance and health. Every day at Tannenbaum Chiropractic in Ann Arbor, we help athletes achieve their potential.
