Dan O’Brian Talks About Chiropractic
By
“You obviously can’t compete at your fullest if you’re not in alignment. And your body can’t heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted.”
“If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal.” – Dan O’Brian Decathlon Gold Medallist

Whoever would be even better with an upper cervical specific. What you are listening to are full spine chiropractors talking. They practice cavitations popping of the joints and that does not compare to U, C, S, only at all. Like Atlas orthogonal, light toggle recoil, as only two examples of technique names. These types of adjustments should be done in the off season to allow your body to get used to being balanced. The best I know of as a group is called upper cervical specific.www.upcspine.com. Knee chest is good even thou this technique is not on upcspine. If it is in your area use it. Atlas orthogonal is one of the good techniques that are being taught at Sherman collage. Duff Method a way of measuring is very good too. Reading what is on upcspine will help whoever to be able to recognize a good U, C, S, only, other technique names on upcspine. Listen to MUCC.us/ .Whoever practice cavitations popping of the joins should be avoided. That includes diversified and full spine chiropractors needs time to compensate after an adjustment. A problem can begin from birth so it is imperative to be checked as soon as possible for imbalances in your spine. Atlas on top of spine is the most important vertebra in the whole spine to be in its normal healthy shape. Head is stable, and does not move when adjustment takes place. People who are said to be OK if no external damage is seen are not telling the truth .internal twisting shifting of the atlas has occurred. His shifting of the atlas will irritate the nerves that are near the atlas and mechanical cause the spine to go out of a healthy shape. Chances are it was bad before an accident, and has gotten worse in an automobile accident.

So now we all know the big help that chiropractors were giving. Most especially to most athletes.

This is a very big revelation. It’s good to know that these people were also using the same healing process as most people did. Thanks for sharing this.

Chiropractors were all great and I think that they give the best care for all of us.
