Chiropractic Care Creates Massive Benefits To Athletes:
From this point a basic understanding a key neurological concept is important: Neuromuscular plasticity, simply put, means that the brain and nerves will adapt “like plastic” to the stresses put on it. Fortunately, this is a two way street! Under the negative stress of "pre-injury" the nerves will adapt negatively and under the positive stress (i.e. chiropractic treatment) they will adapt positively.
Simply put the segmental muscles of the spine are not under primary control of the motor cortex in the brain. The motor cortex controls groups of muscles used in creating the fluid, coordinated movements of the athlete. But, the "pre-injury" "misalignments" of the spine are not controlled by the brain. They can only be corrected by the chiropractor.
To sum up. Nearly every world class athlete uses a chiropractic! Not just for treatment of injury but also for enhancing and maintaining maximum performance. Pictured on this page are just a few of Dr. Cece's athletes! Note the diversity in age, gender and sports.
