Boxing, Martial Arts and Chiropractic
The goal of the boxer and martial artist is to train the body and mind to harness power, speed, balance, coordination and timing to be the best they can be. This is heavily dependent on a finely tuned nervous system to allow all the important reflexes to function properly. This is why boxers and martial artists at all levels often receive periodic Chiropractic adjustments to ensure peak performance in training and in competition.
