Performance Chiropractic
Between the growing youth population and the active baby boomer there is a desire for maintaining a high level of function. Repetitive activity is the breeding ground for many injuries in both the sports world as well as the workplace. Much research has been conducted in an effort to find better postures, ergonomic strategies, exercises and more effective supports. Despite the benefits to date, much more can be done. The importance of preserving body structure and overall body function is the most necessary component to maintaining that high level activity and overall health.
Musculo-skeletal imbalances and fixations are the cause of the majority of injuries that occur throughout life. In the eyes of the public, treating injuries falls into the hands of the orthopedists, physical therapists or chiropractors. Unfortunately, most of these professionals have geared their practices towards treating symptoms and not evaluating on a structural or architectural basis. Unless someone is hurting, most doctors wouldn’t know what to do.
Currently, there is no structural prevention, evaluation or improvement program made available to the masses even though neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee and foot problems are near epidemic proportion. With all of the specialization available today, what’s the deal? However, with the proper testing, a tremendous amount of information can be detected, and a pro-active program can be designed, consisting of corrective treatment, functional exercise, lifestyle changes, etc.
Performance Chiropractic is a speciality clinic in the diciplines of Gonstead chiropractic and sports medicine. We are a clinic that meets the needs and goals of the masses through our Structural Management and Functional Movement programs. We’re looking for a better level of balance between right and left, both muscular and structural. We’re looking for improved range of motion in the joints of the spine, pelvis, hips, knees and ankles. We’re looking for any hereditary defects that may influence the function of our unique structure. We’re ultimately looking for specific defects, whether conditional or constitutional, that can be improved. For if we can improve the balance and function of our body, there will be exponential gains in our future. We may be able to run longer. We may not suffer with pains or injuries as much. We may reduce the likelihood of degenerative changes in our joints. We may just enjoy life a little bit more.
