Chiropractic and Sports
Chiropractic and sports go hand in hand. In addition to being doctors of the spine and nervous system, Doctors of Chiropractic are also trained in how the human body moves during activity (appropriately called kinesiology and bio-mechanics). Most professional teams in the United States today have Doctors of Chiropractic on staff to help their players perform their best out of the field and keep them healthy. Notable athletes like Tiger Woods, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong and Dan O'Brien have all considered Doctors of Chiropractic major role players in helping them perform their best. A 2009 study that examined chiropractic and golf performance found that, "...for those who received four sessions of stretching and chiropractic care, golfers showed a statistically significant improvement in their “full swing performance,” meaning that they hit the ball farther than the stretching only group(1). Another study from the Journal of Chiropractic Research, Study and Clinical Investigation found that Chiropractic might improve athletic performance by 17% within a 2 weeks period. (2)
