Athletes put their bodies through constant physical stress. Whether they’re training for competition, staying active recreationally, or simply managing the wear and tear of an active lifestyle. Chiropractic Treatments for Athletes can play a vital role in keeping athletes – of all ages, moving, performing, and recovering at their best.
Chiropractic Treatments for Athletes: Injury Prevention & Performance
At Willoughby Family Chiropractic, Dr. Mitch Spooner understands this firsthand. As a former high-level hockey player, Dr. Spooner grew up playing a wide variety of sports before focusing on hockey and competing for four years in the Western Hockey League with the Vancouver Giants, Regina Pats, and Seattle Thunderbirds. Throughout his career, regular visits to a sports chiropractor helped him maintain performance and manage the demands of elite-level training.
It wasn’t until he suffered a series of concussions that he truly became aware of the deeper benefits of chiropractic care. This pivotal experience sparked his passion for healthcare and his mission to not only treat symptoms but address the root causes of injuries.
Today, his background gives him a unique understanding of what athletes truly need. From injury prevention to long-term performance optimization.
