Valente, DC, PC, we’ve helped countless New York athletes recover from and prevent these types of injuries. Fortunately, research shows that chiropractic care can significantly reduce the risk of injury and improve overall performance.
Research-Proven Results
In a study published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, researchers from Macquarie University in Australia studied 59 semi-elite Australian Rules football players. Half of the players received sports chiropractic care at regular intervals, while the other half received no treatment.
The results were clear:
Lower limb strains were significantly reduced in the treatment group.
Players who received chiropractic care experienced fewer missed practices and games due to non-contact knee injuries.
Researchers concluded that sports chiropractic treatment should be added to best practice management for injury prevention.
