Using Chiropractic Care to Prevent Injuries in Eden Prairie

It certainly makes sense to turn to chiropractic care after an injury. However, athletes often make chiropractic treatment a part of their regular routine to help prevent injuries. Sports are very hard on the human body and too much stress could lead to injury.

However, when athletes undergo regular chiropractic treatments, their bodies can heal faster without so much harm caused. While many sports cause noticeable damage to the body, they can also cause subtle issues not so easily noticed. These subtle issues can become a much larger problem. With regular chiropractic care, it's possible to prevent injury from these subtle issues.

Testimonial

"From playing on my schools volleyball team I injured my lower back. Before I started treatment with Dr. Floro I had been suffering severe back pain and didn't have feeling in my low back. Also my knee was not in the right place. My medical doctors had given me 500 mg of Naproxen twice a day. I had done that for almost 2 years which I started when I was 14 years old. This last year, I started treatment with Dr. Floro in hopes that all my pain would go away and it has! I no longer have back or knee pain and do not have to take pain medication which is damaging to my internal organs. I thank Dr. Floro because I no longer cry from pain and can sleep restfully. "
