I was watching the Olympics on Friday night and saw a segment on JR Celski’s rehab after a skating crash where he was badly injured. The piece had a short interview with “Dr.Bill Moreau“ who was responsible for JR’s rehab. I immediately recognized Dr. Moreau as a chiropractor because I’ve taken a number of sports injury classes from him.
It peaked my curiosity so I did a google search on Celski’s injury and was surprised to find that although Moreau is quoted many times in different articles no where does it say DC or mention that he is a chiropractor. Most of the articles say, “Dr. Bill Moreau Director of Sports Medicine Clinics for the USOC”.
Now I’m probably the only one who cares because I am a chiropractor but I think we as a group deserve a bit more credit than we are given in the media. In need of some world class rehab for an injury? Call your San Francisco Chiropractor.

After seeing this article I am inclined to say there are more chiropractors at the Olympics than ever before.
“We have 21 chiropractors from across Canada on the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic staff, and I am proud of them all for volunteering their time and services to the international athletes,” said Walker, also part of the Canadian medical team at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, 2007 Rio Pan Am Games and chief chiropractor for the 1994 Victoria Commonwealth Games.”
The Graston Technique we practice at our San Francisco Chiropractic office also is getting a lot of press for helping athletes at the Olympics including USA Womens Hockey star Caitlin Cahow.

This infographic from National Geographic speaks volumes. 
All 32 NFL teams now have chiropractors as part of their healthcare team.
“The robust need for chiropractic care in the NFL has been deeply driven by the players’ desire for peak physical conditioning and not simply for injuries,” states Spencer H. Baron, DC, Miami Dolphins team chiropractor for the past 14 years. “From the earliest years of full contact football, their bodies are subject to structural stress that doctors of chiropractic … are specially trained to care for. Many DCs who provide their services to professional athletes travel with their respective teams throughout the season, treating players up until game time, during the game and sometimes immediately following.”

I’m delighted the Westside Observer has decided to print another health article authored by your San Francisco Chiropractor, pick one up from the newspaper stand or read online here.
A new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, “Low Back Pain and Best Practice Care” found that “The usual care provided by GPs for LBP does not match the care endorsed in international evidence-based guidelines and may not provide the best outcomes for patients. This situation has not improved over time. The unendorsed care may contribute to the high costs of managing LBP, and some aspects of the care provided carry a higher risk of adverse effects.”
This is quite alarming considering how many people present every year to their GP hoping to get some good advice. At our office we recommend procedures with the latest research and guidelines in mind. We can refer you to other specialists if need be.
