ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC

CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH AND ATHELETIC PERFORMANCE.
The January 1991 issue of the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation published findings that demonstrate significant increases in athletic performance after a twelve week program of Chiropractic treatment.

Male and female athletes between the ages of 18 and 42, representing a variety of sports backgrounds, were recruited to participate in the study. None had ever before been under chiropractic care. Each of these participants underwent eleven separate tests, each test designed to measure a specific aspect of athletic performance. Then, half the participants were analyzed chiropractically and placed on a twelve week program of chiropractic treatment.

All subjects continued to train and practice as usual. At the half-way point of six weeks, they were all reevaluated and changes in scores for each group were compared. All increases in performances by each group were measured by the average percent of change of all eleven tests combined.

The control group, those not receiving chiropractic care, showed slight improvement in eight of eleven tests. By combining the average percentages of change on each test it was found that the control group showed an overall improvement of 4.5%.

Those receiving chiropractic treatment, the test group, had dramatically different results. They showed improvement on all eleven tests for a total 10.7% average increase after six weeks. And when retested again after the second six week period of care this test group demonstrated a remarkable 16.7% average increase in athletic ability.


FAMOUS ATHLETES UTILISE CHIROPRACTIC
Today, many athletes are discovering the relationship between proper spinal mechanics, alignment and their own level of achievement. San Francisco Forty-Niners Joe Montana and Roger Craig as well as heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield are just three of the growing number of professional and world-class athletes who utilize the value of proper spinal mechanics and balance in their bodies. They have learned through their own experiences what research has shown; that with chiropractic care, one can demonstrate faster reaction time, better balance, improved coordination and increased muscular power.

THE COMPETITIVE EDGE
Emphasis on athletic excellence continues to escalate in this country in terms of both dollars and extremes in personal sacrifice. Though the dangers of taking anabolic steroids have been widely publicized for years, the number of young athletes who suffer serious health problems caused by steroids continues to grow. Now, however, the athlete looking for the competitive edge need not look beyond the framework of his own body. Increasing public awareness is leading to many to realize that a natural method is available for achieving performance enhancement. That method is Sports Chiropractic!
