Crossfit And Chiropractic The Perfect Fit

Is it possible that you get to the gym everyday just out of habit and its the same old routine

? Monday is chest and arms, Tuesday is back and legs, Wednesday is cardio day on the treadmill, etc. That routine was mine just a few years ago. Some of us have had the same routine for years with out having any results as far as increase in strength, body fat loss, or whatever your fitness goal was when you began training. If the gym works for you and you are happy with your success, I would not recommend changing anything. I know for me personally there had to be something else that would be challenging yet help with my overall fitness.

A few years ago I was personally introduced to CrossFit. It has helped me tremendously with strength, agility, balance, stamina, and an overall feeling of health.

I really feel that I accomplish something each day when I finish the WOD (workout of the day).

Lets define what CrossFit really is, how it works, and what the benefits are.

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program of functional fitness for all age levels. It uses different types of stimulus to increase your strength, conditioning, agility, etc. The programming contains some different functional exercises taken from gymnastics, endurance training, and Olympic weight lifting.

On a weekly basis I see patients in my office that have injured themselves while working out at CrossFit gyms. The reason why most people get injured is they are too focused on how much weight they are lifting rather than focusing on technique. Another reason we see people get injured is improper form and not enough warm up time with each movement and exercise. My recommendation is make sure that you are working with a Level I Certified CrossFit trainer. Focus on good form and technique and remember that your strength and endurance will follow later. Please leave your ego at home and just go have fun.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic my main focus is to help our patients achieve optimal health. Some patients will come see me at my office because of some type of symptom; shoulder pain, lower back pain, neck pain, knee pain, headaches, etc. My main focus is to help them get over the crisis or the symptom that they are experiencing. Once that goal has been achieved I work with them on strengthening the weak areas so that symptom or injury doesnt return.

Most people dont realize that most CrossFit Athletes as well as Professional Athletes get regular Chiropractic Care. As a Chiropractor I work with the most important system in the body, the nervous system. The nervous system controls and coordinates all systems in the body. Sometimes due to traumas and injuries it can cause the vertebrae in the spine to misalign and put pressure on the nerves causing that area of the body to be weak and compromised. My job as a Chiropractor is to remove the nerve interference and allow the body to function optimally. Check out our testimonial page.
