Because of our busy schedules earning a living at work, raising a family and taking care of the home responsibilities, many of us simply don't have the time to maintain the level of fitness we had when we were younger. However, we still need regular physical exercise.

We used to enjoy softball, basketball, bowling, or maybe that 5K or other goal event. Then the dreaded tweaked knee, or aggravated chronic low back, neck pain or shoulder pain flares up and we find ourselves benched.

For the recreational athlete who still plays at an intensity level akin to their younger days, we can help speed up the healing process from minor to moderate injuries and keep you healthy and in the game for next weekend.

Sometimes we just need a little TLC. Chiropractic is good for structural issues including spine, disc, joint and muscle issues, while Trigenics instantly restores normal joint motion due to impingements, rotator cuff tears, chronic knee arthritis while decreasing pain. Regenerative Medicine including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PL (platelet lysate) may be the choice for healing more extensive injuries. Functional Medicine would help with maximizing overall health and performance while slowing or eliminating diseases like heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis or autoimmune disease that's holding you back from performing your best and enjoy living a physically active lifestyle.

Show up strong! Don’t suffer like so many do. Fix those over-exertion injuries before they make you feel old and steal your ability to stay healthy, active, and young.

You CAN keep up and compete with those younger 'kids' -- and maybe even win once in a while!
