There is a reason why all 32 NFL teams, 27 out of 30 MLB teams and almost every NBA team now have an official team Chiropractor on staff. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help both the professional and amateur athlete achieve better function and optimal performance. Besides improving performance, chiropractors can be trained to identify improper mechanics and stresses on the body, in order to identify problems and intervene before injuries can occur. Do the names Joe Montana, Wade Boggs, Charles Barkley, and Barry Bonds sound familiar? These athletes and their stories all helped bring chiropractic treatment to the forefront of athletic care.
Dr. Robertson has worked with many athletes from all different skill levels – from professional baseball players to weekend warriors. Dr. Robertson is proud to be the team chiropractor for the Kansas Stars, and is currently the team chiropractor for the Wichita Wingnuts. She has been able to gain valuable real-life experience working with the athletes on the team. At Robertson Chiropractic, we are firm believers that developing good functional habits as a young athlete, will carry forward as they grow up. Starting off with a good foundation, is better than correcting faulty mechanics later on. As Barry Bonds, Giants outfield said, “I think it should be mandatory for athletes to see a chiropractor”.
Robertson Chiropractic also offers resources for baseball athletes of all ages and skill level who wish to seek further mechanical training.
