Top 10 Reasons Why a Every CrossFitter Needs a Chiropractor

Subluxations, or misalignments of joints in the body, can inhibit peak performance AND your health! Chiropractors correct them like dentists correct the plaque off of teeth!

Here are the “Top 10 Reasons Why a Every CrossFitter Needs a Chiropractor“

10. Your knee and ankle shake while doing a “piston,” aka single leg squat (low back/knee/ankle subluxations)

9. You miss a WOD or 2 “every once in a while” due to an injury (subluxation anywhere in the body)

8. Your “ego gets in the way” and you do everything Rx’ed and trash your back (spine subluxation)

7. You can’t “get low enough” on your wall squats, front squats, and anykind of squat-squats  (low back/pelvis/hip subluxations)

6. The knee hurts after 1-2 mile of running–in your Vibram 5 fingers, of course! (low back/pelvis/hip/knee/ankle/foot subluxations)

5. Too tired or stressed out to WOD to your max most days (upper neck subluxations)

4. Your shoulder kicks your butt during overhead squats, pushups, ring dips, etc. (neck/shoulder subluxations)

3. You round your back while attempting deadlifts (low back/pelvis subluxations)

2. “I’m not very flexible” crosses your lips.

And, for #1…

1. You want to get Stronger, Better, Faster, Quicker!

What to Expect From Chiropractic Care

Laying the foundation

Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .

Phase 1: Intensive Care

If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Corrective/RehabilitativeCare

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
