“I have not missed a workout, practice, or game, and
I feel a lot stronger, faster, and I have better balance.”
Chris Chambers- NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins

All athletes should be under chiropractic care, especially if you are making money or hoping to make money due to your athletic performance, including scholarships.  Chiropractic care can help you to perform better. 

In your cervicals (neck) and lumbars (lower back) is where we have the most proprioceptive receptors.  These are balance receptors.  When you are walking or running you are constantly scanning the horizon with your eyes.  Most of the time, this is how we maintain balance.  What if you are running and look up and back to catch a football, baseball or to get a pass in soccer or hockey, you are no longer scanning the horizon.  How do you maintain your balance?  Proprioception is how.  Proprioception is the knowledge of where all your joints (feet, ankles, knees, hands etc.) are in time and space.  In basic terms, it is the connection between your brain and your body.  The more fine tuned this connection is, the better one can perform athletically.  In most cases, it is that little bit of edge you need to beat out you opponent.  Chiropractic care insures you that the connection between the brain and the body is functioning at its highest level.

At Back In Line Chiropractic Center not only are we chiropractors, who perform precise adjustments to the spine, but we also have a few specialties.  One of them is extremity adjusting.  Your extremities are your ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrist etc.  Many times when athletes damage these areas, the prescribed treatment is ice, compression, mobilization and rest.  Where is the effort to restore function?  We not only use the prescribed treatment but also adjust the extremity, helping to restoring function.  In most cases our athletes report being faster and stronger after an extremity adjustment.  I can say with the highest confidence, that you will notice an immediate improvement after your extremities are adjusted, no matter what your sport is.

With the combination of adjustments to the spine and extremities, not only will you perform better but you will be less likely to get injured.  I once had an NFL running back come into our office due to lower back and knee pain.  Not only did we adjust his spine, but we performed flexion-distraction for his lower back, adjustments to his knee, lasered his knee and did neuromuscular reeducation (balance rehab).  The running back left our office pain free and full of confidence.  That Sunday he was playing amazing until he got hit low in the knee.  He was then helped off of the field.  Two plays later he was back in the game and had over 100 yards rushing.  I saw the player again that Tuesday.  He informed me that had he not been adjusted and his knee been misaligned, then the hit he took could have been the straw that broke the camels back and he would have been out for the year.  Thank God his knee was adjusted.

If you think you are fast, you could be faster.  If you think you are strong, you could be stronger.  If you think you are agile and athletic, you could be more so.

I have not missed a workout, practice, or game, and I feel a lot stronger, faster, and I have better balance. I use to get real bad tendonitis in my knees for a while, but not since seeing Dr. Peter. I like the people that work here, a real dedicated staff, and a office with a real family environment.”

Dr. Peter and Dr. Barbara and staff, I want to thank you for all that you have done for me, as far as treatment.  I never knew what a true chiropractor really meant until I received treatment from your office.  The passion and the pride you’ve shown in your line of work is impeccable and that is why I am was able to become the champion that I am today.  For that I thank you very much.  God Bless.
