Chiropractic Care: The Winning Advantage for Athletes

As an athlete, you constantly strive to improve your skills, break new ground, and exceed expectations. Choosing chiropractic care gives you a partner in that process and helps build a foundation that gives you the winning advantage.

At Synergy Release Sports, we understand athletes. Our chiropractors use an innovative technique called Synergy Release Therapy (SRT), developed by our co-founder Michael Hatrak, DC, and his mentor, John Patterson.

The two developed this system as an evolution of traditional chiropractic care. Although standard chiropractic care can be highly beneficial for many people, athletes train at such a high level that they need enhanced care to match their training. SRT is specially designed to help our athletes perform at optimal levels.

We use a broad spectrum of noninvasive and natural therapies as part of SRT, always creating highly personalized treatment plans that help our athletes thrive.

Through our unique approach and unwavering dedication to patient success, we’ve become well known as the best chiropractor in Alpharetta and Atlanta, Georgia. In this blog, we explain how chiropractic care is the winning advantage for athletes.

Benefits of chiropractic care for athletes

The SRT system focuses on optimizing the function of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. This potentially offers benefits including:

Improved flexibility
Expanded range of motion
Correction of spinal imbalances, which could help prevent injury
Improved balance and reduced risk of trips and falls
Enhanced coordination, including limb and hand-eye coordination
Reduced pain when injured
Faster recovery after injury

We tailor every chiropractic care plan to you, your sport, and your individual athletic goals, and our team is always ready to change your therapy plan as your needs change. Although specific chiropractic care benefits vary with the individual, studies support its use overall as performance enhancement for athletes.

One study showed that athletes who had regular chiropractic care experienced a better than 6% improvement in their Index of Average Athletic Ability Improvement (IAAAI) score. Meanwhile, athletes in the control group that received no chiropractic care didn’t see a boost.

A different study demonstrated that athletes who had chiropractic care for three months enjoyed a 30% improvement in hand-eye coordination.

In addition, studies in other countries show that athletes derive significant benefits from chiropractic care, for example, increased grip strength among judo athletes.

Why choose chiropractic care for athletes?

As an athlete, you push yourself harder than most. Relentlessly testing your physical limits can have serious consequences, like repetitive injuries, spinal imbalances, and joint misalignments.

Chiropractic care using the SRT method serves dual purposes. It focuses on maximizing your health when you’re well and on stimulating the fastest and most efficient recovery possible when you’re injured.
