Athlete Corner

My job requires that I be able to demonstrate a variety of exercises and skills to others without pain or limitations. I have seen Dr. Mack for over twenty years. I remember trying to figure out my issues on my own as a trainer but the symptoms needed to be resolved and my body needed to be realigned. I also have a leg length discrepancy. Dr. Mack has kept me doing the things I love with regular care to my shoulder, elbow, low back, hips and foot. He spends a lot of time on each issue and I feel such a difference after each visit. The inflammation in my shoulder actually improved! And my foot is now good enough to run again after my plantar fascia tear. My low back is still tight from time to time but I can honestly say that I am in better shape overall than when I was in my twenties. I credit people like Dr. Mack for keeping me fit and therefore helping keep my family fed. I have been a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist for over 25 years. I have worked with every kind of athlete on earth and I can attest to the fact that chiropractic care is integral to an athlete's performance and overall well-being. I have sent numerous patients to Wildwood over the years and each have been improved by having more supple tissues and better ROM. Speed, agility, power and balance cannot ever be optimal if the body is not aligned properly. Inflammation will win out every time if the body is not allowed to achieve muscle balance. Something will tug harder on one side or in a specific region, that will force other muscles to compensate and the cycle grows more vicious. Regular checkups are a staple for the athletes that I work with, it is vital to keep all tissues, hard and soft, working their best.
