Did you know that roughly 775,000 kids show up in emergency rooms annually with some type of sports-related injury? While some of these injuries definitely need medical attention, the incident quite often puts stress on the spine. If this stress isn’t addressed, it could lead to various problems for the child in the future.
Lafayette, Louisiana chiropractor Dr. Richard Duplantis may often help with these types of spinal issues that occur in sports settings, enabling your child to return to the game and go about his or her life without the worry of pain, disability, or dysfunction years down the road.
When it comes to being an athlete, age is just a number. After all, there are kids as young as three, four, and five years old that are joining T-ball leagues or learning to play soccer. There are also people in their 80s and 90s who are finding joy in sports such as golf, tennis, running, and more.
Fortunately, chiropractic may have something to offer all age groups when it comes to improved sports performance and injury treatment and prevention. Dr. Duplantis, a well-known sports chiropractor in Lafayette, Louisiana, may help keep you active and injury-free.
Older athletes may benefit from chiropractic as well. For example, many sports rely on having stellar balance, yet this ability tends to naturally decrease as we age. However, numerous studies, like one published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, have found that chiropractic may help improve balance, making it easier and safer to play the sports you love.
Chiropractic may help improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury, no matter what your age.
