Why Athletes Need Precise Chiropractic Alignment

The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating muscle firing patterns throughout the body. When these signals can travel without any obstructions, both strength and coordination experience a remarkable increase, leading to enhanced physical performance.

Performance Gains Backed by Science

       
  • Balance: Studies show a 25% improvement in single‑leg stance after atlas correction.
  •    
  • Reaction Time: Faster nerve conduction means quicker starts off the blocks.
  •    
  • Recovery: Proper alignment reduces cortisol spikes post‑workout.
