See how Dr. Richard Duplantis, Lafayette LA Chiropractor can help athletes in Lafayette, Louisiana
The reason top athletes perform so well is that they train extremely hard, usually spending hours upon hours a day in the gym and on the field. They focus on building their muscle and improving their cardiovascular capacity. They concentrate on outwitting their opponent in training and practices, with the hopes of securing a win.
Reaching this higher level of execution and performance almost always involves using other tools to help improve the results. For instance, nutritional supplements ensure the body has the vitamins and minerals it needs to succeed and visualization may help prepare the mind to make all of the right moves. Well, chiropractic is another tool that may help when it comes to boosting performance, and Lafayette, Louisiana chiropractor Dr. Richard Duplantis, Lafayette LA Chiropractor is here to help you achieve your goal.
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to relieving pain that is both drug-free and non-invasive.
Studies on Boosting Performance Using Chiropractic
A study published in Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research found that upper cervical chiropractic manipulations helped 21 male baseball players achieve greater muscle strength and a longer jump distance after just 14 weeks of care. As a bonus, the subjects' blood pressures and pulse rates decreased as well when compared to a control group, providing even more health benefits of chiropractic sessions.
Another piece of research posted in The Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation found similar positive results. In this case, 50 athletes (half male, half female) between the ages of 18 and 42 were tested and the group that engaged in chiropractic care improved their athletic ability more than twice the amount as the control group.
Chiropractic may boost sports performance and studies like these confirm it.
