Sports Injuries
At competitive levels, athletes
may not be able to take drugs for inflammation and pain relief. Chiropractors
do not prescribe allopathic drugs, but have developed procedures to assist
the early resolution of injury. We are able to assist the athlete in achieving
optimum body mechanics, ensuring maximum performance while conserving energy.
Injuries can be caused by: Dr. Desi Gamboa recognizes that faulty body mechanics can place
stress on the nervous system. This restricts the range of motion, reduces
strength, slows reflexes, shortens endurance, impairs balance, upsets
co-ordination and decreases performance.
At Carlsbad Chiropractic, Dr. Desi Gamboa can work with you to provide
a care plan that meets your needs. Whether you are professional athlete,
a jogger or a weekend warrior, chiropractic care can help treat and rehabilitate
injuries to the spine, arms, legs, feet, hands, chest, head and jaw.
Dr. Gamboa's role is to give you advice on: appropriate fitness workouts,
daily stretching and sports preparation exercises, helpful training programs,
footwear, appropriate taping/ace bandaging, and nutrition. Emmitt Smith - NFL - Football Tiger Woods - Golf Pro/Champion Lance Armstrong - Cycling Champion California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger: Bill Romanowski - NFL Football Star John Stockton - NBA Basketball Star
Athletes need all
parts of their body to be working at maximum
efficiency to establish their highest level of coordination
and to maintain stamina at peak levels.
Rapid recovery from injury is critical for the athlete. Muscles, tendons
and ligaments depend upon proper joint movement for peak performance. Injuries
to these tissues can reduce range of motion, affect nerves, decrease blood
supply and leave you on the sideline.
Chiropractic care helps restore function to spinal joints, improves muscle
balance and removes nerve irritation, helping to speed the healing of
soft tissue. Chiropractic care for sports injuries has become increasingly
popular through the years.

athletes' lives! Find out why! Make
