PLAY BALL! Chiropractic Adjustments Keep Boston Red Sox Organization Physically Fit Throughout the Baseball Season

BOSTON -- Thanks to an integrated medical team of orthopedists and internists, certified athletic trainers, chiropractors, massage and physical therapists, the Boston Red Sox organization actively practices injury prevention in anticipation of a winning season in 2007. Competing at an exceptionally high level, both players and staff cover all their bases when it comes to maintaining optimal health, with chiropractic adjustments contributing to the overall fitness of the organization.According to Michael D. Weinman, DC, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) and a member of the medical team who provides chiropractic care for three to four hours prior to the first pitch of about two-thirds of all home games, “When the body’s joints, muscles and nerves are well-conditioned, a player performs at the top of his game and is able to stave off nagging injuries. Chiropractic adjustments enhance physical health and promote top performance.”Jim Rowe, a certified athletic trainer who has served as head team trainer and is currently the medical operations coordinator for the past two years for the Boston Red Sox explains, “Chiropractic care is part of the overall healthcare approach and provides yet another service to our players. Dr. Weinman does not do everything -- but what he does, he does best. We intend to continue offering this service which is valued by active team members of every age.”

Dr. Zach's Comments:

• The list of professional athletes who use chiropractic care to take their game to champion level reads like who's who of sports. From Tiger Woods to Lance Armstrong; LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers to Jonny Damon of the Yankees. Find a champion in sports and you will find a chiropractor caring for the integrity of their spine and nerve system.



• If these elite athletes value regular chiropractic care to optimize health and athletic performance, it is certainly advisable that we do the same.
