Are you an athlete with a history of injuries? Do you have a hard time recovering after long practices, games, meets, or training sessions?

Every professional sports team works with a chiropractor, and many pro and college athletes rely on them to be better athletes.

Amateur athletes and gym enthusiasts all across the country rely on doctors to help keep them in peak physical shape, and chiropractors should be part of that team! Even if you're just getting started on a health journey, having a chiropractic care plan and a doctor you can trust can provide you with health benefits for years to come.

Here's how regular chiropractic care can help you:

  • Faster recovery time: When you work out, your muscles break down, and then as you recover, with proper nutrition and nourishment, your muscle cells grow and get stronger. To recover more effectively, chiropractic care can help improve overall body function and speed up recovery time.
  • Improves overall wellness: Specific structural chiropractors treat the root cause of your back pain, neck pain, or numbness in hands and feet to treat your overall health. Your whole body will be positively impacted by chiropractic care, even if you only periodically receive adjustments.
  • Improve balance, agility, and response time: When you improve your overall recovery time and get regular adjustments, you'll be able to improve your balance and agility. You'll find that with regular chiropractic care, you'll also perform better in your regular workouts or sports.

What's the Difference Between Structural Chiropractic Care and Conventional Chiropractic Care?

Most Chiropractors you'll find on your typical Google search are conventional chiropractors. They focus on reducing pain, inflammation, muscle spasms and increasing range of motion in joints.

They manage these health concerns with the use of general manipulations of the neck and spine. This is what most chiropractors offer in the way of care, and we believe that most of them do a great job at it.

As a Specific Structural Corrective Chiropractor, Dr. Gessert is dedicated to diagnosing and correcting the underlying cause of your condition.

  • I started seeing Dr. Andrew last summer after my Cross Fit coach listened to my complaints about my body and urged me to get a consultation. It’s now been almost a full year, and not only do I feel so much better physically—much less chronic pain—but I feel much more in touch and in tune with my body, due to the treatment he provides, and also the at-home stretching that he prescribed. Dr. Andrew is friendly and always takes the time to listen to how I’m feeling, and he never fails to amaze me at how he can assess my physical problems and use his training to correct them. I would recommend him to anyone who has pain and wants to feel better!
