Sports Performance and Injuries

Many of the worlds top performing athletes recognise the benefits of chiropractic care not just for treating and preventing injuries but also for enhancing and maximising performance. Maybe we can help you too.

Well known users of chiropractic include:

• Lance Armstrong - "I couldn't have won without my chiropractor. He is possibly the most important man on the team."
• Evander Holyfield - "I found that going to a chiropractor helps my performance. Once I drove 20 miles to see a chiropractor before a fight. I must have my adjustment before I go into the ring."
• Tiger woods - "I've been going to chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training as practicing my swing."
• Arnold Schwarzenegger - "Bodybuilders and fitness people have been using, very extensively, chiropractors in order to stay healthy and fit. Whenever I had a little problem with my body, i always ran to one of my dear friends [Franco Columbo D.C.], he was always right there with the adjustments. This is how i found out the best way of going, is to use chiropractors, not only after injuries, but also before injury."
• Lennox Lewis
• Michael Jordan
• Joe Montana
• Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber (Redbull F1 Racing Team)
