ATHLETE CARE

ATHLETE CARE AT FFC

As an active person himself, Dr. Matt certainly understands the health benefits of staying active in everyday life. It is well documented that daily exercise is so valuable and crucial to health. Even 30 minute walks around the neighborhood a few times a week can have drastic changes on your overall health. But when we are doing exercises we are putting on physical stressors onto the body which can lead to common injuries, aches, sores, or fatigues. When our body is in pain or is not able to move well, then we can not perform well. In countless studies it has shown how chiropractic is able to outperform other medical options at reducing pain and restoring normal function to joints.

At Fortitude Family Chiropractic it is our goal to make sure that your body is functioning to its fullest potential and the highest capacity you can. We know that when you are functioning at your best that will translate to more rounds of golf played, more miles walked or ran, time spent swimming, increasing flexibility and range of motion, and most importantly decreasing the inflammation and recovery time it takes for you to be able to do it again. Apart from housing your nervous system, the spine helps to anchor many muscles which is crucial with maintaining proper posture and overall strength.

It is not a surprise to learn that around 90% of world-class athletes routinely use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and boost performance including every NFL team, and majority of MLS, NBA, NHL, and MLB. Don’t just take our word for it:

“Lifting weights and seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer. I’ve been going to chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It’s as important to my training as practicing my swing. I start preparing 3.5 hours ahead of tee time with chiropractic.”

- TIGER WOODS

“Chiropractic just makes you feel so much better. When I walk out of the clinic, I feel like I'm about three inches taller and everything's in place. As long as I see the chiropractor, I feel like I'm one step ahead of the game.”

- TOM BRADY
