If your child plays tackle football he is sustaining spine trauma
There are at least 10 games per football season and there is 70 plays per game. On average, a player gets hit every play. That’s 700 hits per season not including practices!! Each hit sends a shockwave into the body that potentially injures the spine and causes misalignment. Would you expect to drive your car through potholes all day and not need the tire alignment fixed? The same if true for your child’s spine. The spine is a movable stack of 24 vertebra that supports posture and protects the spinal cord and nerves. The spinal cord connects the brain to the body and delivers electrical nerve energy to the entire body. If injured or misaligned energy transmission is reduced causing malfunction of the body and/or pain. If the spine is left in a damaged position it will turn into pain, disc problems and arthritic degeneration in the future.
