How can this care improve my tennis game?

Tennis involves a great deal of repetitive motions and ballistic movements and because of this, the sport can cause both local and universal stress in the body. For instance, hard foot plants when running, stopping, and jumping are tied to not just foot stress but also ankle and knee stress as well as stress affecting an entire side of the body. This is a result of side-to- side forces and twisting movements. Continuously starting and stopping, speeding up and slowing down, overhead serves, and ground strokes can all put a large amount of stress on the knees, back, ankles, elbows, and shoulders. Chiropractic care focuses on both preventing and treating injuries associated with playing tennis. It is an excellent choice for tennis players and adjustments can be made regularly to prevent injury and improve strength and range of motion.
