Holistic Nutrition and Sports Performance
To perform at an optimal level your body has to be fed specifically according to your unique needs. An athlete has to pay special attention to what they are fueling their machine with. It must be clean burning and supply optimal support to every cell in their body. Processed foods, food sensitivities/allergies, and dehydration can cause inflammation and pain. Timing, amounts, and the correct combination of the right foods is extremely important in sports to help achieve excellence.
Naturopathic Medicine and Sports Performance
High level training and competition can place a great deal of stress on the body. In addition to diet; botanical medicine, vitamin supplementation and IV mineral therapy can also improve the body’s ability to adapt to these demands. This improved adaptation will help improve performance by decreasing the incidence of injuries, improving post-exercise/competition recovery time as well as overall athletic performance. Dr. Susan Slipacoff, ND and Dr. Jilan Koch, ND are trained in these treatments and very experienced working with athletes. They are also experienced in treating muscle injuries with acupuncture. Dr. Slipacoff also uses homeopathic injection therapy to further support the muscle recovery process.
Chiropractic Medicine and Sports Performance
PROPER JOINT FUNCTION IS CRITICAL FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
In order for muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues to remain healthy, normal joint function is essential. The major cause of a loss in joint motion is a previous inflammation produced by a sprain/strain or fracture. All athletes (from elite to recreational) should have their joints examined for specific joint function. With normal joint movements, joint dysfunction pain syndromes will not develop nor will the muscles and ligaments tear as often. With proper chiropractic diagnosis and care provided by Dr. Cancelliere and Dr. Bulfon, athletes can reap potential benefits including improved range of motion, normal muscle function, improved coordination, better balance and fewer performance injuries.
Osteopathy and Sport performance
Osteopathy improves overall balance and function of the musculoskeletal system, thereby improving overall sport performance. Osteopathy plays a pivotal role in improving healing times for sporting related injuries and post workout recovery with an overall improvement in circulation and nervous system function.
Massage Therapy and Sports performance
Sport massage is beneficial for pre and post-events, because it can provide restoration to the muscles that are used. By using sports massage, you will not only decrease recovery time after your sport but even return to your sport more quickly after an injury, post-training or competition. It can also help prevent previous injuries from returning by decreasing tension in problem area’s. Sports massage is also key in treating strains and sprains or other injuries caused during sport.
