We are in the middle of the Olympics and Paralympics being held in Paris, France. There’s nothing we love more than sitting down and seeing the talent of everyone on our screens. It really is fantastic to see the skill and unity across the world.
Bet you didnât know that most teams in the Olympics and Paralympics have a chiropractor. They are on the team to make sure athletes are in optimal position to compete. Facts are facts, chiropractic care really can make that much of a difference!
Many athletes, gymnasts, and swimmers have declared their love and appreciation for chiropractic care when they need to be competition ready, and ready to achieve Olympic and Paralympic medals.
Examples of Olympic and Paralympic medalists that see a chiropractor
Usain Bolt
As a child Usain struggled with scoliosis, every year he was getting injured and definitely couldn’t break any records for being the worldâs fastest man.
âWhen I was younger, the scoliosis wasnât really a problem. But you grow and it gets worse. My spine was really curved bad.â â Usain Bolt
When running any distance having good posture can make all the difference. It can open up your airways, prevent drag, and helps reduce the risk of injury.
With chiropractic, he was able to treat his curvature and cement himself as one of the all-time Olympic greats.
Michael Phelps
Swimming is known to be a âgentle exerciseâ, it is one of the easiest sports on your joints. But that doesnât mean chiropractic care isnât needed.
âThink of us as an Indy Car pit crew looking at the structure and alignment of the vehicle to see if there is any kind of drag or anything. And if you think of how close these racers are, a little bit of restriction adds up. It’s in each stroke and can prevent a full reach. Itâs basically the fine-tuning of the tissue.â â Kevin Rindal, the USA Swimming Team Chiropractor.
No matter how gifted and talented the athlete, chiropractic care can always help push them a little bit further. Which might be exactly what they need to win big, we have all sese how close the Olympics and the Paralympics can be.
Simone Biles
When we say think of the Olympics and gymnastics, Simone Biles is the name we all know and love. She certainly has credited chiropractic care for helping her maintain peak performance and recover from the physical demands of gymnastics.
Chiropractic for athletes can be a game-changer for sports performance by helping increase flexibility, balance, and range of motion. Which is everything a gymnast needs to show off their skill when being scored.
Allison Jones
Well known Paralympian in skiing and competitive cycling, Allison Jones, is one of the many Paralympians that have complimented the use of chiropractic care. Cycling and skiing often last for days with little rest time. These intense sports can make it easy to get injured. Subsequently staying adjusted and as healthy as possible is a high priority!
âChiropractic care has been essential to my good health and success â including earning multiple gold medals in international competitions over the past 20 years⊠The precise muscle releasing techniques and joint alignment that chiropractic care provides, allows me to race day after day at peak performance.â â Allison Jones
