Thanksgiving is a time for family and food, but also for fun.  In fact your family may engage in a football game before or after your big meal, or you maybe will watch the Thanksgiving game.  Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just participating for fun, getting ready for the game is important!  Remember that Chiropractic care helps prepare your body for physical activity and supported during recovery.  Below are some ways that chiropractic care can help in several ways:

1. Spinal Alignment: Ensure your spine is properly aligned.  Misalignments hinder body's ability to move freely and function optimally.  Also getting an adjustment before can allow you to improve your posture and range of motion.  

2. Muscle function and mobility: Adjustments help improve joint mobility, and is essential for quick movements.  A chiropractor can help ensure that your body is ready to move in all directions without restriction.

3. Pre-game warm up: Did you know that Chiropractors can offer tailored advice on pre-activity warm ups?  They may recommend specific stretches tailored to your health conditions.

4. Preventing injuries: Chiropractors before the game can reduce muscle tension, improve alignment and better balance and coordination through spinal manipulation.

5. Recovery after the game: Getting alignment can reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, decrease inflammation, support joint recovery, and improve sleep and rest.

Have fun this Thanksgiving if you are having the tradition with your family with a friendly football game.  Even if you are only watching the game, remember the importance of alignment during all aspects and phases of life.
