CLAYTON, N.C., Dec. 04, 2016 -- Athletes commonly use chiropractic treatments to reduce recovery time from current injuries, improve performance and avoid future injuries, reports Clayton Chiropractic. Local athletes and others involved in fitness activities, such as rugby players and those who enjoy CrossFit, can benefit from chiropractic and the Myofascial™ Releaser, an Ellipse Plus instrument. A chiropractor in Clayton can assist professional and amateur athletes with improving their biomechanical function and strengthening weakened areas with regular chiropractic care. Spinal manipulations, state-of-the-art technology, and highly specialized techniques offer athletes holistic and natural support of their wellbeing.
Rugby and sports training requires that participants be aware of how to maintain their optimal health. A Clayton chiropractor helps patients achieve optimal recovery in instances of impact or overuse injuries. After a careful evaluation, a treatment program will be developed for patients who experience back pain, neck pain, concussions, muscle strains, fractures, ligament damage, shoulder pain, elbow pain, shin splints and joint sprains. Chiropractic treatment rebalances the spine and repositions joints, encourages circulation and corrects nerve positioning to decrease inflammation, promote healing and communicate signals effectively. Chiropractic is also used to improve athletic wellness and sports performance as part of routine care.
The Myofascial™ Releaser is a device specially designed for Instrument-Assisted Fascial Mobilization. It is created for use by clinicians and athletes to be used in the application of trigger point therapy. Direct but non-invasive work with the fascia can reduce tightness and stiffness, improve mobility, and encourage healing in injured or scarred tissues. It serves as a durable tool that can be used to assist athletes and active participants to improve performance and encourage optimal functioning in fascia naturally.
“Professional and amateur athletes use chiropractic care and specialized tools to improve their performance and keep them doing what they love,” said Dr. Karel Lloyd. “As an experienced chiropractor, I use specialized techniques, chiropractic adjustments and tools to provide treatment to sports injuries and help maintain optimal health in patients. Chiropractic treatment can improve career longevity and treat injuries including neck and back pain, muscle weakness, ligament tears, strains and pulls.”
