Play Sport? Sports Chiropractic is your go-to Warrant of Fitness.

There has been an increasing volumes of professional athletes and athletic teams in recent years that have assigned Sports Chiropractors to treat their injuries, align the body mechanically, help manage/resolve their pain, and help keep them at the top of their game in terms of refining performance and stamina.


Headache & Tendon, Christchurch, works with and treats many of NZs top athletes to resolve symptoms of pain, restricted movement and refine performance to optimise biomechanics.


Top athletes like Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Vernon Davis, and Aaron Rodgers recognise that value in good chiropractic care and have incorporated it into their overall health & performance programs.


One of the biggest draws is Chiropractic’s whole-body approach to health care. A Sports Chiropractor will not just treat the symptoms of a problem (such as pain and restriction), they work to uncover the cause of the problem and biomechanically align the entire body - joints and soft tissue across the entire body - from head to feet, to eliminate their pain. Not only do they resolve the issue causing the pain they take steps to help prevent the problem from recurring.




The NFL Chooses Chiropractic

The National Football League (NFL) has long kept chiropractic care as a standard treatment for its players. In fact, the NFL teams employ around 35 chiropractors, The Professional Football Chiropractic Association estimates that the average team Sports Chiropractor for the NFL will perform anywhere from 30 to 50 Chiropractic adjustments or treatments a week during the football season.

Similarly, the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) boasts a roster of top golfers who rely on Sports Chiropractic to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and manage pain.

Even at the Olympics, where athletes push their bodies to the limit, Sports Chiropractic plays a crucial role. With Chiropractors traveling with teams to provide treatments and aid in injury management, athletes experience faster and more comprehensive healing.


The endorsement of Chiropractic medicine extends beyond football, golf, and the Olympics, with many teams in major leagues like the MLB, NBA, and NHL employing Chiropractors to optimise the performance of their elite athletes. These athletes recognise the benefits of drug-free, non-invasive Sport Chiropractic care, which not only effectively manages pain but also aids in injury prevention and enhances athletic performance.


Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, the benefits of regular Sports Chiropractic care is undeniable. From pain management to injury prevention and performance enhancement, Sports Chiropractic offers a very specific approach to performance that can benefit athletes of all levels. If it's trusted by the pros, it's worth considering for your own health and athletic endeavors. Headache & Tendon Christchurch, located at Frontrunner on Colombo, offers specific treatments that work to eliminate restriction and pain in the body.
