Athletic and Sports Care

Exercise is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Aches and pains, as well as weak or "sluggish" muscles can impede your performance. Inadequate nutrition, dehydration, overuse, improper biomechanics, and muscle imbalance all contribute to these symptoms. Joint dysfunction in the spine and extremities causes nerve irritation, which also affects muscle function and overall performance.

Extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrist, hands, knees, ankles, and feet) are often injured during competitive activity. If the mechanics of a foot, for example, are altered by injury, the gait is negatively affected. One-sided changes in gait lead to pain in the knees, hips, and low back. The kinetic chain needs to be functioning at its optimum to achieve the highest levels of performance.

At Pineda Chiropractic we combine a variety of approaches to treat joint dysfunction and get you back into the game. Chiropractic has been proven to improve performance. With all of your joints functioning properly they will make you a better player and make sure that your joints are getting the nutrition they need to stay healthy, just like you.
