This is a question that we, as chiropractors in Arlington VA, are asked quite often. "What can we do to help keep athlete's on the field longer, and help them improve their craft?" The answer is very simple.  Allow your body to perform at its optimal level. Chiropractic has been around over 100 years, but most people do not realize how chiropractic can improve their body's health. Chiropractic at Jacobs Chiropractic is a natural form of health care, based on helping joints retain their normal range of motion (ROM) through various "adjustments of the joints." An adjustment is putting a light force through a joint, to help re-establish the ROM. Sports chiropractic goes a little more in-depth, adjusting the upper and lower extremities (arms and legs).

Why Chiropractic Helps in Arlington VA

Not many players, coaches or parents in Arlington VA realize how physical the game of soccer really is. Whether you slide tackle an attacking player, a center-back going heading a ball, or just colliding with players on the field, all of these actions add up and take a toll on your body. These micro traumas build up and players may begin to feel run down, tired, or even have a decrease in their performance. Players may not even realize that they have issues with their body, unless their body reacts and tells them, usually through joint or muscle pain. Muscle soreness is a characteristic sign that the joints are becoming "tight" and losing normal ROM. Chiropractic adjustments at Jacobs Chiropractic in Arlington will not only help with the pains and tightness from playing soccer, it will also help increase your ability to play optimally and deal with future injuries.
