Athletes Need Chiropractic Care
A Message To All Of Our "Weekend Warriors"

In recent years, weekend, professional and even Olympic class athletes have discovered how effective Chiropractic can be in treating sports-related injuries. All sports demand 100% in performance from your body.

Therefore, a musculoskeletal system which functions properly is crucial to anyone involved in sports or athletics.

Since there is such a close physical and functional relationship between the spine and the nervous system, any injury in this area can become compounded. Sports injuries often alter the characteristics of normal body mechanics.

Strains and sprains will frequently change the normal position of a joint and inhibit much of its flexibility. Scar tissue, which usually develops after a strain or sprain, will also hinder joint mechanics. A trauma

involving the spinal column can irritate nerve roots as they exit from the spine and cause pain and dysfunction of the muscles they supply.

As Chiropractors, our area of expertise is in the nerve system and its effect on the musculoskeletal system. We thoroughly examine the injured area and assess the nature and extent of the faulty mechanics involved. If necessary, specialized examination procedures, including x-rays, may be performed to determine the best mode of care.

If you are sports minded and have suffered an injury, you should seriously consider a Chiropractic consultation at our office. Why not call Bartell Chiropractic Life Center now for an appointment before what may be a minor injury becomes a serious one. Tell your friends, too!
