One quick Chiropractic adjustment significantly improves strength and reduces muscle fatigability. 
Some exceptional research recently published in the Journal, Experimental Brain Research, shows exactly and more.
The study showed after one spinal adjustment:
• an increase of almost 60% in the electrical activity readings from specifically targeted muscles
• a 16% increase in absolute force measures
• a 45% increase in the drive from their brain to their muscle
These changes occurred due to changes in the brain's ability to drive and control the muscles.
In other words, changes occurred in the brain that were beneficial for motor control resulting in improved performance.
The results of the one chiropractic treatment were the same as 3 weeks of strength training!
These findings indicate that there could be a very strong reason to include chiropractic in post-surgical rehab, stroke, AND of course sports athletes that want to improve their performance.
