Underwood Chiropractic is prepared to guide Southern Illinois athletes to
their full potential. Dr. Underwood has worked previously with
athletes at both high school and collegiate levels as well as participants
of endurance sports. The key to quickly healing athletic injuries
is to completely understand the problem through a thorough examination.
The foundation of Dr. Underwood's examination is functional testing of the
arms and legs, which helps localize the exact injured tissues as well as
underlying factors that may have made the athlete more likely to become
injured. Dr. Underwood has a full range of therapies to address the pain,
swelling, and disability resulting from athletic injuries and return the
athlete to their passion as soon as possible. Spinal adjustments and extremity adjustments will
restore normal function to injured and dysfunctional joints. Active Release Techniques has been shown to be especially effective at rapidly returning athletes
to their full potential. Specific rehabilitative stretches and exercises will be prescribed to stabilize athletes and keep them on the field,
court, or track and out of our clinic. |
