Revitalize Your Sports Performance with Chiropractic Care

Professional athletes know the body performs best in peak condition, attained through training and nutrition, but not all understand the direct correlation between the spine's alignment and athletic performance. Regardless of hours spent at the gym, a slight misalignment of the spine can mean the difference between making or missing the winning shot. The brain controls every cell and muscle movement. For the body to perform at an optimal level, the brain needs to communicate freely with the body. Spinal misalignments, especially of the atlas vertebra, block nerves and slow commands sent through the nervous system, putting ideal performance out of reach.

Achieve More with Our Fort Worth Chiropractor

Our Fort Worth chiropractor at Back To Health Family Chiropractic, Dr. Chris Michlin, helps athletes reach their goals with the atlas orthogonal technique. Atlas orthogonal treatment refers to the adjustment of the atlas, the top-most vertebra, which supports the head. The atlas normally sits at a 90 degree angle to the head, but can become tilted or misaligned due to sports injuries and minor traumas like poor posture. When the atlas loses proper alignment, the rest of the body compensates, leading to pain and hindered performance. Using gentle atlas orthogonal adjustments, our chiropractor helps athletes revitalize performance and do more than ever before. 

Take for example, an extraordinary story and role model – Dr. Misty Pope. Misty is a state champion in forms and sparring who took a kick to the head. Her performance declined, and she experienced dizziness, headaches, and could not compete. She flew to Fort Worth from New Orleans and placed her trust in Dr. Chris Michlin for atlas orthogonal adjustments. After chiropractic treatment and six months of rehabilitative yoga and Pilates, Misty returned to the ring, winning first, second, and third place in weapons, forms, and sparring. With atlas orthogonal adjustments she out-performed herself, and she achieved first place in weapons worldwide! 

Each day, Dr. Michlin helps professional athletes revitalize their sports performance with atlas orthogonal. Get on top of your game and call our office for an atlas orthogonal adjustment today!
