The flame may be out in Sydney, but our society’s fire for sports will never be doused. There’s nothing like the Olympics, however, to bring out our patriotic competitiveness. It’s great to watch our dedicated athletes who have invested their lives in perfecting their sport obtain Olympic status. It’s inspiring to see them push the human-envelope of performance and break records. It gives us a sense of pride. And because they reside in the same country as us, there is a certain part of us that shares in their glory. This feeling goes deeper for us chiropractors, however, because we know that numerous Olympic athletes owe much of their successes, and sometimes continued ability to compete, to chiropractic care.
