There will be more chiropractors at the Olympic Games in Beijing China this year than ever before.

In North America baseball, basketball, football and hockey franchises in the MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL all have team chiropractors.

The chiropractor in working with athletes has a broad diagnostic and therapeutic role. Of primary concern to athletes are the three main roles of the chiropractor.

1. Managing Injury
2. Prevention of Injury
3. Improved Performance

I was happy to see Dr. Ted Forcum chosen as chiropractor for team USA, I learned the Graston Technique from Dr. Forcum, he is a truly gifted chiropractor.
