Athletes and New Roads Chiropractic: Keep the Game Going!

New Roads Chiropractic Center cherishes its athletic patients! Athletes are tuned into their bodies and their sports and want to keep going. New Roads Chiropractic Center loves it! The chiropractic treatment plan for our New Roads neck pain and back pain patients always includes patient participation. And this latest research about tennis players and their serves intrigued us.

This new study of tennis players and back pain points to a link between back pain, the kinematics of the serve and the range of motion it demands. Interestingly, all the tennis players in one study attained the end of their lumbar spine range of motion while serving. (1) Wow! That’s pushing the spine! Coaches may want to help their players alter their serves to protect their spines. Chiropractors like your New Roads chiropractor at New Roads Chiropractic Center may play a consulting role with such New Roads athletic players on how to best perform without risking their spines.

And this is what chiropractors do for all their patients. Your New Roads chiropractor wants to be sure you perform at your ultimate capacity without risking the integrity of your spine and its normal kinematics. This goes for golfers, runners, marathoners and weekend warriors.
