Treatment to improve the performance and functioning of the athlete's body


Chiropractic for athletes is a special method adapted especially for professional athletes and those who are actively and recreationally engaged in sports. Although athletes are considered to be people with the healthiest body, it often happens that due to excessive and frequent training, injuries, sprains, or strain on certain parts of the body occur. It is with these problems that this treatment can be a great solution for athletes and recreationists. It is also used to improve results and increase mobility, although there is no pain.

Chiropractic treatments

  • Joint manipulation, sometimes called “adjustment” – uses a controlled force that leads to the correct positioning of the bony and tendon elements of the joints
  • Joint mobilization – gentle movement of the joint to increase its range of motion
  • Application of vacuum cups (suction cups) – detoxification, increase of circulation and reduction of inflammation in the treated area
  • Soft tissue techniques – such as massage


  • One of the most common and well-known therapeutic procedures performed by chiropractors is spine manipulation, and it is sometimes called “spine adjustment”. The purpose of this treatment is to restore joint mobility by applying controlled force to a complete spinal column that has become restricted in its movement as a result of tissue injury.

    Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event (usually a herniated disc), such as the improper lifting of heavy loads, or through repetitive stresses (microtrauma), as well as sitting in an uncomfortable position of the spine for a long period. In any case, injured tissues are subject to physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, pinched nerves, and reduced function. Manipulation or adjustment of the joint and tissue restores mobility, which relieves pain, muscle tension, and pressure on the nerve, allowing the tissue to heal.

    Spinal manipulation is very safe when performed by a trained chiropractor. The final results are visible immediately or no later than 12 to 48 hours after treatment.
