Tennis and Chiropractic, a Great Match

It is unfortunate that despite the fact that millions of people experience the incredible benefits of Chiropractic adjustments and care every day, news articles tend to focus only on the negative, sensationalizing the extremely rare circumstances of negative outcomes. Therefore, it is truly a breath of fresh air to see an article published by ESPN a few months ago about the professional tennis player, John Isner, recent winner of the Miami Open and currently ranked #10 in the world, thanking his personal Chiropractor and endorsing the care that he'd been given.

While it is common for people to think Chiropractic care can only treat back pain, neck pain and headaches, Chiropractors can also work with the rest of the body, providing care for a variety of other injuries. In addition, a huge number of Chiropractors specialize in sports and working with athletes, whether that means working as a team doctor, recovery from injuries, or maximizing performance. Getting checked out early for movement imbalances and good form is as important to preventing or reducing the likelihood injury as it is to optimizing your performance. Otherwise phrased, you don't need to wait until you're hurt or in pain to get checked out by a Chiropractor! While you may not be able to have a personal full time Chiropractor like John Isner or any other top athletes, you can still benefit from regular tune ups with your local Chiropractor.

Read the interview with Isner's Chiropractor, Clint Cordial, to find out a little bit more on how Chiropractic benefited this athlete. The interview outlines how he started working with John, what it's like working him, what a typical day is like treating a pro athlete, and how he felt when his work was recognized in such a public arena.
