Olympic Team USA had an
Official Chiropractor
Some will probably say that it was just a coincidence,
but the USA's best ever showing in a Winter Olympics was
the first year that the team officially had a
chiropractor as part of their sports medicine team. An
Ohio chiropractor, Dr. Robin Hunter was appointed as the
official and sole Doctor of Chiropractic on the United
States sports medicine team for the 2002 Winter Olympics
in Salt Lake City. She is the first Chiropractor ever
appointed to a U.S. Winter Olympic team. In additon to
Dr. Hunter the team consisted of 14 MDs, 12 trainers,
and a massage therapist.
Dr. Hunter a practicing chiropractor for 17 years from
Columbus, Ohio, said, "We worked elbow-to-elbow in a
clinic in the Olympic village, with people in and out
all day, and it was fantastic!" She added, "The
fundamental principles of our profession apply so well
to athletics. Correcting biomechanical faults and
misalignments, and treating injuries with hands-on work,
so that the athletes can return to play faster and
better, is what sports chiropractic care is all about."
She concluded by saying, "It's truly overwhelming to
represent our country and profession. I have a deep
sense of pride when touring Salt Lake City and the
Olympic Village with the Team USA uniform on."
