How Move Chiropractic Helps with Sports Injuries
​
Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment in the spine and joints, which reduces stress on injured tissues and supports faster healing. By improving movement and balance, adjustments also help reduce the risk of reinjury.
​
Dr. Carter may also recommend stretches, exercises, and simple changes in posture or technique to keep your body performing at its best. Many athletes in Angier find that chiropractic care not only helps them heal from injuries but also improves their overall performance and resilience.
