Chiropractic care from your sports chiropractor
This adjustment will allow your body to relax after a hard workout. Your spine and nervous system will also be benefiting from the adjustment. Many trainers and chiropractors agree with the recommendation to exercise before you have an adjustment. It can be dangerous to remove tension from your muscles.
How long after receiving sports chiropractic can I exercise?
For this reason, I suggest that after your sports chiropractic visit, you should wait about 30 minutes before performing vigorous exercises. In addition, warming up first is highly advised after sports chiropractic. After about 30 minutes your joints pack into a stable position again and your muscles have time to catch up.
