 I'm glad that Doc starts with addressing the "no pain no gain" lie. Its about programming, proper targeted challenge, and balanced programming. Adding chiropractic care to your program can be the smartest move you can make as an athlete or fitness warrior. Thank you Doctor!-Nate What Pro-Athletes Know That Can Help You Be Your Best! by Dr. Tim Ercikson What Pro-Athletes Know That Can Help You Be Your Best! Dr. Tim Ercikson We've all heard the saying "no pain-no gain," especially when it comes to personal training and exercise programs. What if you discovered that you could substantially improve your athletic abilities with one simple step that could eliminate pain, improve your performance, and make your training a breeze? Millions of today's recreational and professional athletes, who are performing at all levels, are adding chiropractic adjustment plans to their workout regimen to help them accomplish their goals!  A recent study found that athletes who underwent regular chiropractic care enjoyed a 10% improvement in their overall performance time and results compared to athletes who were not under chiropractic care. World-class athletes like Evander Holyfield, Emmit Smith, Terrell Owens, Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong, the U.S. Woman's Soccer Team and others know that chiropractic care can give you the extra edge you need in your athletic performance and in life. In fact, many amateur and professional athletes would not consider competing without being adjusted by their chiropractor. Dan O'Brien, a Word and Olympic Decathlon Champion stated "You obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. Chiropractic is essential for me and my training routine." Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees that bodybuilders and fitness people have been using chiropractors extensively in order to stay fit and health. He found that it was better to go to a chiropractor before you get hurt. He believes that the world of fitness and the world of chiropractors are a perfect team. Just think about it. A ten percent improvement in performance is a Huge Amount for an athlete or for anyone. It can mean the difference between running a 10 second hundred meter dash or an 11 second hundred meter dashand for a runner that's the difference between winning the race versus not even making the team. World class athletes are challenging their mental and physical boundaries everyday. They keep track of their abilities and performance in connection to their basic wellness quotient. These athlete don't wait until they feel the pain or lose a step. They carefully tune their bodies with chiropractic adjustments for wellness and peak performance. Could you imagine the influence on your life every area of your abilities improved by only 10%! Can you imagine if your immune system functioned 10% better and you got 10% more energy, sleep and nerve results? What if your body could function at a ten percent higher level? The difference over a period time would be startling! It's no wonder the best athletes get routine chiropractic checkups along with their families.

What Pro-Athletes Know That Can Help You Be Your Best!

Wassup' with this 'Chiro' Thing?
I have been associated with our guest writer Paul Becker for over a decade now and he is considered one of the foremost authorities in the world of Natural Bodybuilding and fitness. We have covered this chiropractor issue many times before, but Paul gives us a unique perspective.-Nate
Checking in with the Bone Cracker
Working out can sometimes cause your body to get out of alignment or put some other strain on the structure of your body. When this happens it is a wise idea to check in with a good chiropractor and have them help you get back in alignment. Dealing with heavy duty weights on a consistent basis means you need to keep your structure as viable as possible, and a chiropractor is a great way to do so. In fact many of the top bodybuilding pros see a chiropractor on a regular basis and one former multi Mr. Olympia (Franco Columbu) was himself a chiropractor.
Test
How do you know if the chiropractor you are using is good or not? The next time you get a sore back, be deliberately vague on your symptoms. That’s because a good chiropractor can find the problem on his or her own, and a quack can’t. A good chiropractor uses the hands to check the body over and in this checking they find the source of the problem, and then go to work fixing it. So if your chiropractor can get to the issue without you having to be specific, you have a good chiropractor.
Occasional Visit
You don’t need to go to a chiropractor all the time and indeed going too often can drain your wallet. However, an occasional visit is well worth the money and effort and will pay off with big dividends in your training. When your body is free from the impairments that a structure out of alignment causes you can then lift and train at maximum output and that is worth a lot. Also being properly aligned in your structure helps prevent other injuries from occurring.
Consider getting your body adjusted by a chiropractor every now and then to help keep the foundation upon which you build your muscles in top condition.

Back Pain and Your Job
This article is reprinted from, and is the property of the Back Association of Canada (BAC).
Sit much? Well, how much? What causes most people's back pain? The person who finds a cut and dried answer to that one will win the Nobel Prize. Not that the question hasn't been studied. Over the years, many back pain researchers have directed their energies to the issue of cause.
This does not mean, however, that you cannot be treated successfully. Quite the contrary! Over the past few years, health care professionals have realized that, when it comes to treating back pain, it's almost always enough to know the category - or categories - into which the problem falls. Narrowing the problem down further doesn't usually make a whole lot of difference since the conservative treatment for each category is more or less the same.
A few decades ago, trauma (falls, for instance) was extremely popular as a cause while, in recent years, a lot of attention has been paid to sitting. During the years between, lifting has been at the top of the list. So has "cause unknown". For instance, Dr. C. Hirsch, an American researcher, found that it was impossible to pinpoint the cause for six out of ten of the back pain sufferers he studied.
The problem is that back pain is complex. Just for openers, we are talking about a problem whose source - never mind whose cause - cannot, in many cases, be identified. (Is the pain coming from the 4th lumbar vertebra, or the 5th? The facet joint or the disc?). A second issue is that a person's state of mind plays an important role. An anxious person who has a back injury can end up with a serious, long-lasting problem, while someone else is back to normal in a couple of days. So it makes sense that linking cause and effect can be a nightmare.
With that in mind, an interesting study was published by another American researcher, Dr. Alexander Magora. Rather than trying to link back pain with a specific cause - like a fall or a poor lifting technique - Dr. Magora studied the occupations of more than 3,300 people. He was interested to know how much of their work day people spent doing three particular kinds of tasks: tasks that required them to sit; tasks that required them to stand; and, tasks that required them to lift.
In the case of sitting and standing, the workers were divided into three categories. Often meant that a person sat for more than 4 hours each working day; sometimes meant between two and four hours each day, on average; and rarely or nevermeant that a person sat for less than two hours a day. (In the case of lifting, the categories were a bit different since the weight of the object also had to be considered.)
The results were very interesting, especially when it came to sitting. For example, hardly any of the back pain sufferers in Dr. Magora's study (3.5%) had jobs that required them to sit "sometimes". On the other hand, more than half of the back pain sufferers sat "rarely, or never" (54%). And a little less than half of them had jobs which required them to sit "often" (42%).
"Both too much sitting, and too little sitting," Dr. Magora concluded, "seems to be related to low back pain ." To put it simply, people are far less likely to suffer from a bad back if their jobs require them to do a variety of tasks - some sitting, some standing, some lifting - during the course of the work day.
It will require a commitment from management if a change in job routine is going to happen on a large scale. In the meantime, however, many of us could change our work habits, if we made it a priority in our own minds. For instance, if you have three hours of typing and two hours of filing, why not divide it up into 20 minute chunks? At the very least, it can't do your back any harm.
