The Olympics, Goals and Chiropractic


Over the next two weeks we can watch the world on stage for one of my favorite events – the Olympics!  Growing up I would watch figure skating any chance I got.  Now I just watch it all, figure skating is still one of my favorites, in addition to snowboarding and skiing.  What are your favorite events?

How do these elite athletes prepare for the games?  They take care of their bodies, when they are feeling weak or injured AND when they are at the peak of their game.  Nutrition and movement are an integral part of their everyday routine.  Many of them include chiropractic adjustments to keep their joints aligned for optimal nerve/body function and joint movement.  In fact, one of my former classmates attended the summer Olympics 2016 in Rio as a team chiropractor.  

The athletes are extremely inspiring – everyone has overcome their own challenges and sacrifices to get to where they are.  Do you get motivated by them to become a little faster, more flexible or stronger?  If so, awesome! 

A great place to start is with a Chiropractic exam and adjustments to keep YOUR joints aligned appropriately and moving well you can push your current limits easier and with less pain.  We only get one body to live in for the rest of our lives and the last time I checked we don’t have spinal replacements as an option.  Take care of your spine – Get Aligned!

Tune in next time for some information on how good nutrition can help you reach your goals.
