Chiropractic & Athletics - Your Secret Weapon!

For many, this season is filled with sports activities. From a family game of football at Thanksgiving to high school sports, and even semi-professional to professional sports. Sports require a lot of you, with just a slight advantage, you can come on top, but with even a short disadvantage you can come out last. Because of this, athletes should place a HIGH priority on not just taking care of their bodies, but also listening to every little thing that it says and finding ways to improve their performance through healthy habits and secret weapons. We’re not talking about some new drug or patented process - we’re talking about chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks, and it’s your secret weapon!


Improved Range of Motion

If you haven’t heard this before, it’s an important detail for athletes - regular chiropractic can improve range of motion. Athletes put a LOT of pressure on their bodies every time that they train. These physically intense activities can create problems with spinal alignment and movement now or even down the road. If you re an athlete who is experiencing stiffness and pain in your joints, your range of motion may be compromised as well. Chiropractic care can help undo the damage that you may have experienced from sports, and may even prevent injuries before they occur. As a bonus, you may even be able to experience pain-free movement!

Reduced Pain
Even the strongest of athletes can suffer from back pain, specifically the lower back. Our team is experienced in working with sensitive spines, and the goal of chiropractic care is to help promote proper alignment and movement. Did you know that a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that spinal adjustments were associated with statistically significant improvements in both pain and function with no major adverse side effects?

Shortened Healing Time 

Sometimes, injuries can’t be prevented, no matter what you do. In those cases, chiropractic care at the Lake of the Ozarks can still help to shorten the healing time for a variety of injuries. A few instances could include neck and head injuries, which could lead to headaches. A chiropractic adjustment in Linn Creek, MO can help provide relief from something that can be quite debilitating. Other instances can include shoulder manipulation, ankle sprains, and more. If you have a sports injury at the Lake of the Ozarks, give Absolute Wellness Centers a call at the number below. We would love to set you up with an appointment.

A Non-Invasive Treatment Option

The benefit to chiropractic is that is it non-invasive. It can provide the relief that you’re seeking from your sports injuries throughout your entire body - it’s not just for neck and back injuries! Some athletes have even found that it’s a great alternative to surgical procedures that would normally keep an athlete off of the court. We offer many different techniques and tools here at our office as well, including the Graston technique, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and cold laser treatments.

Sports Injuries and How We Can Help

At Absolute Wellness, we have one goal - and that is to join you on your journey to ABSOLUTE WELLNESS! We want to help you find the tools, techniques, and processes that bring you back to a place of balance and health. Sometimes this journey can take a long time, but it’s valuable, especially when it’s the difference between you playing the game that you love, and not.



This isn’t just for professional sports, either. If you have a child who is involved in sports, getting them started on a chiropractic adjustment schedule, especially during the game season can be vital. We can’t tell you how many young, school-age kids come out of their high school career with surgeries, injuries, and more. Taking time to learn how to care for your child’s health, but also teaching them how to take control of it as well can be a vital life lesson, and one we look forward to helping you enforce.
