How The Best Perform
Drs. Cory and Eric Plasker of 100 Year Lifestyle Chiropractic & Decompression understand that behind every elite athlete is a team of professionals dedicated to helping them stay healthy, recover quickly, and perform at their best. One key member of that team? A chiropractor.
From the NFL to the Olympics, top athletes across all sports are turning to chiropractic care not just for pain relief, but as a vital asset for recovery, injury prevention, and unlocking their full potential.
Our office has first-hand experience working with Hall of Famers, Olympians, Division 1 College Teams, youth National Champions, and of course, Walton High School State Champs. And we train other doctors worldwide in The 100 Year Lifestyle® strategies we’ve discovered.
The Benefits include…
Rapid Recovery
Athletes push their bodies to the limit. That level of intensity requires recovery strategies that go beyond ice baths, massage, taping and stretching. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and joints and remove nerve pressure, which can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing.
When the spine is properly aligned, the nervous system functions more efficiently. This allows for better communication between the brain and body, speeding up the recovery process and reducing downtime. Whether it’s bouncing back from a tough game or staying loose between training sessions, chiropractic care gives athletes an edge in recovery.
Injury Prevention
One of the greatest benefits of performance-based care is to prevent injuries before they happen. By addressing joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, and postural issues, we can help athletes move more efficiently and avoid overuse injuries.
Misalignments, even minor, can put extra stress on muscles, ligaments, and tendons — increasing the risk of strains, sprains, and joint problems. Chiropractors evaluate an athlete’s movement patterns and identify dysfunctions that may lead to injury down the line. With targeted adjustments and corrective exercises, athletes are more likely to stay aligned and stay in the game.
Peak Performance
Chiropractic care isn’t just about fixing problems — it’s about optimizing performance. More Importantly, a properly aligned spine allows for greater range of motion, flexibility, and balance. These are critical factors in every sport, from football, soccer and track, to lacrosse, swimming, and all training activities.
Many athletes also report improved coordination, quicker reflexes, and increased strength following chiropractic adjustments. Why? Because when the nervous system is functioning without interference, the entire body responds and performs better.
Trusted by the Best
Names like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, and Tiger Woods all credit chiropractic care as a key part of their training and longevity. In fact, every NFL team and many college and professional programs have chiropractors on staff to support their athletes.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or an aspiring pro, chiropractic care as a priority in your routine can help you train smarter, recover faster, and perform at your absolute best — just like the pros.
