Sports Medicine is one of the more fun aspects of being a chiropractor in Encinitas. I get to see the hopes, dreams, aspirations, and yes, fears, of competition. Once a person get past 30, usually their athletic activities take on a different focus. The patient/athlete is interested in using their sport for other reasons than just winning. Feeling good, staying young, and looking 20 years younger than your chronological age come to mind!

For the person past 30, having an athletic endeavor is vital to their long term health and happiness. This activity needs to incorporate both cardio and resistive elements: you need to raise the heart rate for an extended period of time and also push some weight. If you just "do it", you will be much happier!

Chiropractic, especially Sports Medicine Chiropractic, is essential for the people that run/bike/swim/walk/yoga/volleyball/golf/hike/gymnastics/ basketball/ (enter your sport!)

Why? If you do not stay in alignment, you will get injured. If injured, that means no sport. Also, sports create special demands on the body nutritionally and structurally. We identify those stresses and reduce them. Result? You can do your sport indefinitely, until the final referee says "game over"! You will feel, perform, and look much better than your friends!

Most people reading this will already be familiar with me, and how I practice. If you would like to know more, or have a specific need about your sport, please call for a consultation. You can also email me through the website at www.LeucadiaChiro.com . Some people have problems that are preventing them from even starting such as fatigue, low back pain, neck pain, hip degeneration, the list is endless. So let’s talk! It’s never too late.
