Dr. Jorde went and sat down with Bill Zortman and talked about the benefits of chiropractic and sport.
They started out by talking about how Dr. Reinecke is retiring in mid- May. Dr. Jorde started working for Dr. Max about ten years ago and then took over as the owner in 2023.
They then went on talk about how chiropractic can help out with getting better sports outcomes with regular chiropractic treatment. One of the obvious things when people think about sports and chiropractic is sports injury. However what people don't often think about is the hidden benefits that regular chiropractic treatment can do for you with regard to your athleticism. There have been many studies done that show regular adjustments can help improve your hand eye coordination, throwing distance and golf driving distance. In the studies regular everyday athletes often had better outcomes than professional athletes when it came to improving their games with chiropractic.
They went on talk about how powerlifters and weightlifters use chiropractic to make sure that they are moving fluidly and in sync on both sides of the body so that they are using and engaging both sides of their body fully. Because form is everything and so you want to make sure that everything is moving correctly so that both sides of your body are engaging equally.
ArpWave is also something that works amazing well for helping with sports injuries and conditioning. It is an electrical stimulation that uses a direct current to help retrain some injuries. It can also help retain motion patterns into normal patterns especially after an injury. Take an ankle sprain, for example, when the injury first happens you would have a tendency to limp. Well even after the injury has healed the body can get stuck in a limp pattern even if it is not as obvious. So if you are not moving correctly to begin with it will cause reinjury or affect other parts of the body. So using the ArpWave can help correct the movement so that the injury doesn't continue to hinder your progress to feeling better.
They went on to talk about how every single NFL team has a chiropractor on staff. There are also a number of other major sports teams that have them on staff but the numbers are not as clear. Dr. Jorde explained how he spent a lot of time looking out for the chiropractors on the sidelines during the Super Bowl. They talked about how the Chief Medical Officer for the Olympic committee and Team USA has been a chiropractor. Sport chiropractic is very important for their knowledge and how it can help sports teams. It can help with decreased injury time.
They went on to talk about how Dr. Jorde's wife did her physical therapy for a broken ankle with the ArpWave machine, decreasing her physical therapy by weeks.
One of the major things that is important for sports is to stretch. Having a coach for sports that they are play competitively to make sure that they are moving functionally, and properly.
Two things that Dr. Jorde learned for Dr. Reinecke was muscle testing and learning about how best to treat SI instability.
