America cheered early last week when Olympic Valley, CA-based skier Julia Mancuso took the Bronze in the women's super-combined. In 2006 at Vancouver, after winning her first Olympic Gold, the self-described "underdog" discussed with the Today Show the obstacles she overcame to win. One of these was a debilitating back injury. "I had to get my body really in tune," said Mancuso, "so I spent a lot of time doing Pilates and going to the Chiropractor and taking care of my whole body."
Mancuso is one of a growing legion of athletes and active people who are turning to drug-free, natural Chiropractic to stay on top of their game. Six Chiropractors traveled with Team U.S.A to Sochi and all of the 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL) utilize Chiropractic services, according to The Professional Football Chiropractic Society (PFCS).
