Guide to Chiropractic Sports Physicals

Playing sports can be exciting, but there are many things you have to do to prepare. One of the various requirements most athletes have to fulfill is having sports physicals performed. Learn more about why choosing a chiropractor to perform your physical is a wise idea in the guide below from Dr. Kinsella, Dr. Mahoney, and Dr. Turck at Kinsella Chiropractic Clinic in Litchfield, MN.

Why Is a Sports Physical Required?

Participating in sports means putting your body through a great deal of physical activity. This can be healthy, of course, but it can also be problematic, especially if you have any injuries or conditions. A sports physical is required to make sure that the athlete is healthy enough to play their chosen sport. It also gives any coaches or trainers insight into any potential issues that might arise, so that they can be prepared during practices and games.

Can a Chiropractor Perform a Sports Physical?

Chiropractors are doctors and can perform sports physicals. If, for any reason, you would rather visit another professional for your physical, a chiropractor can still work with you to make sure you are in optimal shape for your exam. They can also help prevent injuries by identifying potential troubled areas and bad habits.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting a Chiropractor for a Sports Physical?

Chiropractors specialize in assessing and treating issues within the neuromusculoskeletal system. They can detect issues such as poor joint or muscle function, poor range of motion, nerve compression, and more. They can then provide the care needed to fix such issues, ensuring optimal performance.

Additionally, chiropractors provide holistic care. They can help current and future athletes through nutritional guidance, posture correction, exercises for strength and flexibility, and much more. In short, they don’t just provide exam results and send you on your way. They also help ensure you get the best results, achieve peak performance, and prevent injuries.
