Chiropractic Health Care
in Sports Medicine
by Craig M. Balter
In 1982 Billy Olson, former in
door record holder in the pole
vault, hurt so badly he wanted to
drop out of the Vitalis U.S. Olym
pic Invitational. The meet direc
tor, Ray Lumpp, personally es
corted him to a chiropractor for
help. Olson was experiencing
acute pain in his back and legs.
The chiropractor twisted and
cranked on his back and Olson
thought he would never move
again, yet he cleared the bar on his
next jump and went back to the
chiropractor again. On his next
attempt he set his first National
Record. Olson became a strong
believer of Chiropractic Medicine.
Today top ranking athletes and
amateurs alike consult chiroprac
tors for injuries suffered in sports.
These injuries range from serious
sprain/strains to overuse type in
juries. Local track stars Mary
Slaney and Alberto Salazar have
been under chiropractic care for a
wide variety of maladies that are
very common to most high caliber
athletes. Both of them have had
unique experiences that have led
them to believe in chiropractic
health care.
In 1978 Mary Slaney developed
sciatica, an acute nerve condition
in the leg. This caused her to stay
out of competition for six months.
Neither cortisone shots, physical
therapy, nor any other traditional
cure gave her relief from the ex
cruciating pain she was feeling. As
a last resort she started seeing a
chiropractor. After two months of
treatment she began a slow com
back to racing. Many other world
class athletes have had similar ex
periences to Slaney’s.
Sports medicine chiropractors
have gained national recognition
as the specialists to consult in
cases of musculoskeletal pain. Re
cently the TAC National Track
and Field Championships were
held in Eugene. Dr. Richard Gor
man and myself were the meet chi
ropractors. Many athletes were
not only getting treated for acute
injuries, but to improve their bio
mechanics (the body's efficiency
of movement), therefore en
hancing athletic performance.
Chiropractors have a unique
treatment to offer, and that is
manual manipulation of the
body's articulations (joints). They
analyze injuries differently than
their medical counterpart. For ex
ample, chiropractors believe that
previous trauma influences the
spinal column integrity and cause
vertebrae to misalign. This can
result in a weakened spinal col
umn and nerve root pressure. This
nerve root pressure results in a
weakened leg muscle that can lead
to a leg injury. By contrast, a
medical doctor would view a leg
injury as only a problem of that
limb.
Chiropractors are starting to
become an integral part of the
sports medicine team. We are not
advocating that we replace
medical doctors but that all of the
specialties work together to pro
vide the highest quality treatment
possible.
Feverfew
Herbal remedy for pain
Migraine and arthritis sufferers
may find relief from pain in a
powerful new herbal extract for
mula made and distributed here in
Eugene. The product is Feverfew,
made from the herb feverfew
(Tanacetum parthenium),
a
member of the chrysanthemum fa
mily. The herb has been used in
Europe since the Middle Ages as a
natural remedy for fever, arthri
tis, headaches, psoriasis, and
other aches and pains, but has on
ly recently gained attention in the
United States.
In August, 1985, The British
Medical Journal published the
results of a study on the use of
feverfew in treating migraine
headaches and arthritis. The
re
search showed that over 70% of
the participants were able to to
tally prevent the occurrence of mi
graines through the use of the herb.
Feverfew works by inhibiting
the production of prostaglandins,
altering the inflammatory and
pain processes in the human body.
This ability accounts for fever
few's effectiveness for conditions
that respond to aspirin-like pro
ducts. Feverfew has also been suc
cessful in treating headaches and
cramps associated with premen
strual tension.
The Eugene-based company
Quantum manufactures Feverfew
in capsule form—as Feverfew Ex
tract and Migrelief — now avail
able at local health food stores.
Quantum also manufactures 20
other herbal and natural health
products and distributes about 10
others. Two of their most popular
products are Super Lysine Plus, a
natural remedy for herpes blisters
and other skin conditions, and
Cold Season Plus, a zinc-based
lozenge which alleviates cold
symptoms. These are also avail
able at local health food stores.
