Chiropractic and the Winter Olympics!
Chiropractic Care Gives a Competitive Advantage to World-Class Athletes from Around the World
“If I could put a percentage value on it, I think I compete eight to ten percent better from regular chiropractic care. I think that is how much of a benefit it is, if not more. If it wasn’t for chiropractic, I wouldn’t have won the gold medal. Every track & field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. It’s absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one can deny or refute. You obviously can’t compete at your fullest if you’re not in alignment.”
–Dan O’Brien, Olympic Gold Medalist & 3x World Champion Decathlete
The growing presence of chiropractic at the Olympic Games represents worldwide recognition of the profession and its impact on healthcare and performance for the most talented athletes. Chiropractors have been helping U.S. Olympians push the limits of their athletic talents and perform to the best of their abilities for decades.
“Chiropractic plays an important role in preventive, maintenance or injury specific care, and contributes to enhanced clinical outcomes and high patient satisfaction levels among all athletes.”
-Dr. Bill Moreau
