With the Paralympics starting off the back of the Olympics, we thought we would look at the relationship between top athletes and chiropractic care.
Chiropractors have been used for years to treat top athletes to help remain injury free and allow their bodies to function at their very best.
A top sprinter or hurdler for example, will be assessed and adjusted before they hit the track or starting blocks. Whilst they go through a set pre-race routine, who’s to say that receiving joint manipulation for example isn’t providing the edge over his competitors throughout the race.
So, does chiropractic help Team GB? Well, at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) Chiropractors attended the Athletes village for the first time as part of the core medical services offered within the Polyclinic for athletes. This resulted in such success that the they also attended at the Rio Olympics 4 years later.
