Athletes and Chiropractic

Who do informed athletes see to ensure optimum performance?

They see their chiropractor!

The US Women's Soccer team sees their chiropractor regularly. They were adjusted right before they won the Gold Medal.

Former player and now youth soccer coach Nuno Patera insists that his young athlets receive regualr chiropractic care to keep them healthy, improve recovery time, reduce injuries, and provide them with athletic longevity.

"I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger

Informed parents and coaches insist on chiropractic care for their young athletes. Do the same for yourself and your children.

"If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien, Decathlon Gold Medalist

"Chiropractic care works for me." Joe Montana

The New England Patriots have a team chiropractor. Most professional sports teams have a chiropractor!

Jeff Spencer, D.C. has been working with Lance Armstrong since January of 1999, helping him to keep his body together for the harsh demands of the Tour de France. After last year's Tour de France, Lance said that he could not have won without Jeff's help. With Lance approaching his second victory, the same thing might well be true.

Chiropractic care restores structural integrity. Your spine is the shock absorber for your life. When the spine loses structural integrity, you cannot perform and adapt optimally and you gradually decline over time. Loss of structural integrity also interferes with the messages from the brain to the body and back again. Without clear messages, you degenerate rather than regenerate.

"Chiropractic helps athletes and people working out, engaging in a sport or even just performing daily functions such as walking and sitting, to operate at their peak levels of performance without pain. I highly recommend that you pay a visit to your local chiropractor." Dr. Joyce Verdel

Who else get's adjusted? Here are just a few folks who experience the benefits of chiropractic care.

A research study conducted by Drs. Anthony Lauro and Brian Mouch, published in the journal of Chiropractic research and Clinical Investigation, 1991, indicated chiropractic care might improve athletic performance by as much as 16.7% over a two week period. The report also concluded that subluxation-free athletes react faster, coordinate better, execute fine movements with improved accuracy and precision, amounting to an overall better athlete.
