As an Olympic athlete, chiropractic care was a necessary part of my training regime in order to reach peak performance!  My typical routine during heavy training periods involved once weekly visits to my chiropractor for ART (Active Release Therapy) and maintenance adjustments.  Recovery from hard training and avoiding injury are essential to reaching the highest competitive levels and chiropractic was a critical recovery modality I utilized throughout the year.  At the top level in track and field, the difference between medaling and missing the podium is often razor thin so as an athlete I always tried to optimize my performance by seeking any available advantage – chiropractic care was one of the critical elements I used to optimize my body’s ability to compete on race day.  While my regular chiropractor generally did not travel with me to competitions, fortunately the USA Olympic Team realizes how important chiropractic care can be to competitive results and includes chiropractors on its Olympic Team staffs.  As a chiropractor on the 2004 Olympic Track and Field team staff, Dr. A assisted me and many other USA athletes to compete at our best in Athens.   Though no longer competing, when the aches and pains of sitting at a desk all day or being a weekend warrior hit, I call upon Dr. A.
