How to Achieve Optimal Performance

Exercise pushes bones, joints, muscles, heart, and lungs to the limit.  Even light or moderate intensity stresses these systems, often resulting injuries that can reduce your capacity and performance.  There are ways to avoid injuries and maintain optimum performance.

All functions of the body are controlled by the brain through the spinal cord and nerves.  The brain and spinal cord are protected by bone.  The spine has 24 movable segments that can become misaligned and damage the cord and nerves.  The resulting pressure ingerferes with the function of the nervous system and reduces performance.  This leads to decreased focus, concentration, energy, and immune response, which lowers your resistance to sickness and disease.

Also, when the joints don’t function properly, the muscles that move them lose strength and flexibility, and that makes them more prone to injury.  This then can lead to degeneration and arthritis.

When the brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles and joints aren’t working properly, exercise is more difficult and less effective.  Running is slower, jumping and throwing are shorter, lifting is weaker, and so on.  The list of impaired functions is huge!

Chiropractors are the only doctors trained and licensed to analyze and correct spinal misalignment, called subluxation.  Chiropractic adjustments align the spine, remove nerve interference, and resotre optimum health and performance. This is why all professional sports teams have a team chiropractor.  In fact, a team of chiropractors travels with the US Olympic Team.

Join the top athletes and get your spine checked regularly.  It’s your life; live it healthy!
