Athlete Care in Brooklyn

Chiropractic Care for Young Athletes in Brooklyn. Sports activities such as soccer, football, swimming, gymnastics, hockey, skating, and baseball can be hard on young bodies, which may lead to pain, injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal problems. More than 700,000 children under the age of 15 are taken to the hospital emergency room for treatment of sports-related injuries every year. While some young athletes turn to their doctors for pain medications, it can be addictive and damaging to the body. In addition, invasive procedures like surgery can involve a long recovery time or life-long consequences.

Fortunately, at Compassion Chiropractic Office, we have many natural & less invasive procedures to help young athletes of all ages to Heal Better, Perform Better, and Prevent Better.

Chiropractic Care Can Help Your Sports Performance

“I would estimate that at least 90% of world-class athletes use Chiropractic on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their performance.”
- Sean Atkins, Ph.D. Exercise Physiologist

Because Doctors of Chiropractic are experts in the field of human biomechanics, they are very aware of proper posture and movement. If you’re an athlete, you probably deal with musculoskeletal pain on a regular basis. Any impact to the head, shoulders, torso, legs, and feet often radiates to the spine.

Doctors of Chiropractic can detect and correct these vertebral subluxations. This will restore the spine and nervous system to a more optimal level of function, which maximizes the body’s performance and healing potential. Anyone who engages in athletics can benefit from regular Chiropractic checkups, which they can ensure that their spine is balanced and free from structural stress and subluxations. Postural strength and coordination are essential for injury prevention and sports performance.

TECHNIQUES USED ON ATHLETES

• Neurological Corrective Chiropractic Adjustment: Chiropractic care is completely natural and effective. It can be administered without the use of addictive medications or invasive procedures. Chiropractic care improves flexibility and increases strength, balance & coordination, as well as smoothing the stiff muscles, improves blood flow throughout the body, and promotes healing.
• Class 4 Laser: Feel better, faster. The Class 4 Laser delivers a therapeutic dosage of laser light to safely penetrate the dermal layers without burning or pain. The gentle Class 4 Laser beam increases circulation by drawing oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, creating an optimal healing environment.
• Custom Orthotic: We custom-build your orthotics to specifications using a semi-flexible orthotic, bringing your foot to the correct position and allowing it to truly heal, and this is called Functional Orthotic. Dr. Li has seen incredible results by using this "Functional" approach. This approach enables patients to relieve in many foot disorders, including plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, dropped metatarsal heads, Morton's neuroma, and even back pain from faulty feet.
• Nutrition Counseling: Athletes must eat correctly in order to stay active. We educate athletes to eat WHOLE FOOD to help them reach the target weight and athletic goals. We can help athletes decide which foods are right for their level of activity.
