🏈 Football Season Is Back—But So Are the Injuries
As the NFL kicks off, you’ll hear plenty about players coming back from concussions or ACL tears. Here’s something most people don’t know: the two are often connected.
Research shows athletes who suffer a concussion are 3–4 times more likely to tear a knee ligament like the ACL. Why? Because after a concussion, the brain doesn’t always “fire” the protective reflexes to the muscles. That split-second delay is all it takes for an athlete to plant, cut, and end up with a blown knee.
This isn’t just a pro athlete problem. Young athletes in football, soccer, cheerleading, and other sports face the same risks.
👉 That’s where chiropractic comes in.
At Life Charge Chiropractic, we focus on restoring the body’s neuro-musculoskeletal connection—helping the brain and body communicate clearly after injury. When that connection is at its best, athletes move more smoothly, recover more fully, and protect themselves against future injuries.
⭐ And here’s the best part: We provide FREE baseline concussion screenings for all youth athletes in Gallatin and Hendersonville. That way, if your child ever suffers a concussion, you’ll already have vital information to guide safer, faster recovery.
The takeaway:
Concussions don’t just affect memory years later—they change how the body works right now. Every athlete deserves chiropractic care as part of their recovery and prevention plan.
