They did not see Jan Corwin, a U.S. chiropractor on the Olympic Committee staff, deliver a spinal adjustment to Louganis' spine immediately after the accident. All they knew was that Louganis was able to return to the board and win another gold medal for diving. By no means. Olympic wrestlers, NFL football players and other professional athletes rely on chiropractors. These chiropractors help keep the athletes on the field and help stop minor injuries from becoming major ones without the use of drugs or surgery.
Sports seem designed for chiropractic care.
Take, for example, golf, tennis, racquetball and handball. Even gentler sports like billiards, table tennis and other kinder activities can eventually wear down a body part as severely as colliding with a defensive lineman. Chiropractic care balances the spinal column and relieves mechanical and structural stress on the nervous system. Sports injuries nearly always jar and misalign the spinal column. Thus, anyone who plays any sport needs regular chiropractic spinal checkups to ensure his or her spine is balanced and free from structural stress and subluxations.
