Chiropractic helps improve sports performance
Doctors Milano Chiropractic – Studio Mazzini specialize in treating athletes. A team specializing in treating golfers operates within Studio Mazzini.
Athletes and sportsmen and women of all disciplines and levels benefit greatly from our treatments, both to facilitate quick and complete recovery from sports injuries and to improve athletes’ performance by decreasing the risk of injury.
To compete at his full potential, the athlete needs perfect mental and physical balance. His nervous system must be able to perfectly transmit the orders that the brain sends to the muscles and all organs.
Any interruption of this data passage leads to imbalance and, consequently, to greater fatigue in performing the required efforts.
That is why 90 percent of the Top Athletes in the world of sports are treated regularly by chiropractors such as Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Jerry Rice, Andrew Murray, Rory McIlroy and many more. In fact, at the past Olympics, most national teams had a sports chiropractor on their Health Team.
Italian sportsmen and chiropractic
In Italy, too, especially high-level athletes get chiropractic care.
Some Serie A teams have such as Juventus and Milan have chiropractors on their health care staff.
Basketball champions such as the unforgettable Dino Meneghin have often used chiropractic care.
“Chiropractic is a science that deserves attention and consideration and makes an important contribution to the world of sports because it improves the performance of athletes and promotes their recovery time.”
The Snow Board, Swimming and Rowing Federations use regular chiropractic consultations.
An outstanding witness to the benefits of chiropractic treatment in sports is swimmer Lorenzo Vismara, European 400 m freestyle champion.
Here are some of his statements from “Doctor” of 01-12-2004 (pg.37):
“I approached chiropractic five years ago,” Vismara recounts, “before the Sydney Olympics, because of various osteoarticular problems that until then I had not been able to overcome with any other approach. At ‘that time I was 25 years old, an ‘age when the swimming career is already on the downhill slope.” During trips abroad, the ‘athlete notices that all the other national teams have a chiropractor in tow and fights for this figure to become part of the medical team of the Italian team as well. It is also thanks to his determination that our national team was able to count on the support of a chiropractor at the last Olympics in Athens.”
Chiropractic manipulation reduces the use of anti-inflammatories.
“The ‘adjustments,'” Vismara continues, “have allowed me to resolve all the ailments, drastically reducing the use of anti-inflammatories and painkillers and the number of physical therapy sessions. But that’s not all: they also allowed me to improve my performance and break my records several times. The chiropractor literally “ferried” me from one Olympic Games to another, so much so that in Athens, at the “venerable” age of 29, I managed to set my personal best in the 100 freestyle.”
Post-traumatic and preventive treatments
“Dr. Mazzini’s surgery allowed me to win the competition in Milan three days after my shoulder and collarbone injury occurred in the competition in Rome. Since then I have not left chiropractic care, wherever I am in the world I look for a chiropractor.”

Children and Adolescents Sports and Chiropractic.
“I bambini che praticano lo sport saranno adulti più sani, ma è importante che i genitori li portino a fare regolari controlli chiropratici, perché crescano senza compensazioni posturali post-traumatiche”.
Dr Manuel Mazzini Doctor of Chiropractic
Certified Chiropractic Sport Physician
“Ogni genitore ha a cuore la salute dei propri figli anche più della propria. Per questo motivo tutti i nostri pazienti sono invitati a portare i propri figli in clinica per un controllo chiropratico della postura e dell’equilibrio almeno una volta ogni sei mesi, perché crescano sani sia nel fisico che nella mente”.
“Children who participate in sports will be healthier adults, but it is important that parents take them for regular chiropractic checkups so that they grow up without posttraumatic postural compensations.”
Dr Manuel Mazzini Doctor of Chiropractic
Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician
“Every parent cares about their children’s health even more than their own. That is why all our patients are encouraged to bring their children to the clinic for a chiropractic posture and balance checkup at least once every six months so that they grow up healthy in both body and mind.”
