Sports Injuries/ Improved Athletic Performance

We can help you with athletic injuries at our Chagrin Falls clinic.

Speeding Up Your Recovery

In this day in age, most professional sports teams now have a chiropractor or applied kinesiologist on staff because they know it will give them a winning edge.

Chiropractic doctors using applied kinesiology have a distinct advantage over other practitioners as they have specific diagnostic tools to determine the best therapy for both the injured athlete and one who wants to improve his performance.

These tools range from specific muscle balancing procedures to treatments designed to aid other tissues like ligaments, tendons and joints.

Maximize Your Performance

One of the great advantages in using applied kinesiology is the ability to affect performance. Examples of this include increasing:

  • breathing capacity in endurance athletes
  • speed and agility by optimizing fast switch muscle fibers
  • accuracy of those sports requiring eye-hand or eye-foot coordination.
  • strength and integrity of the musculoskeletal system.

Top Athletes Use Applied Kinesiology

George Goodheart, founder of applied kinesiology, was the first chiropractor named to the United States Olympic Medical Team in 1980. Since then, many other doctors in countries around the world have helped athletes in the Olympics. Doctors using applied kinesiology have been and continue to be important assets to professional baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer teams.

Through the skills learned in courses on applied kinesiology, these doctors are able to tailor a treatment program to speed recovery and maximize performance.
