Top Performers and Chiropractic: NBA MVP Derek Rose

Dr. Christopher Quigley Dr. Christopher Quigley

Top performers have used chiropractic as a way to get back on the court, stage, or field for many, many years. In our Boston chiropractic office, we have seen several professional sports stars from baseball, basketball, and hockey as well as stage and screen performing arts stars.

Recently, NBA MVP Derek Rose was looking for help when he turned to a chiropractor, Dr, Stuart Yoss of Bannockburn Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center of Deerfield, Illinois. On ESPN’s Sports center while being interviewed by Doris Burke, Rose said:

“…the whole week I was seeing a great chiropractor, Stuart Yoss. He did a great job of getting me back.”

How about that testimonial!!!

What I appreciate most about chiropractic care is that it just makes sense. Chiropractic is based on 4 simple truths:

  1. The body is an amazing organism/machine.
  2. The nervous system runs this amazing organism/machine.
  3. Damage the nervous system with a spinal misalignment (subluxation) and your body will not work correctly.
  4. Correct (via a chiropractic adjustment) the spinal misalignment (subluxation) and allow the body’s natural healing to happen. (no drugs needed)

The bottom line is chiropractic is a great way to get your spine and your health on track. chiropractic care is by far the most effective, inexpensive, and safe way to go about getting your back and your health performing at it best. Just ask NBA MVP, Derek Rose.

Dr. Christopher Quigley

“I was majoring in chemistry at Villanova University when my path turned to chiropractic. I was going on interviews to be a pharmaceutical sales representative, and they always asked me what I wanted to be doing in five years. My answer was always the same: “I want to be helping people, enjoying my work, while making a difference.”

Before Back Surgery: What Three Important Studies Say About Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression

The number that should stop every elective-surgery patient in their tracks is 94%.
In a large 2017 Journal of Pain Research study of 1,842 people who had undergone lumbar spine surgery, 94% reported some degree of residual low-back pain. That does not mean 94% had severe pain, nor does it mean 94% of the operations were surgical failures. But for an invasive procedure that many patients understandably hope will eliminate their back pain, the persistence of any low-back pain in such a large proportion of respondents is difficult to dismiss.
The same study found that 20.6% met the researchers’ criteria for failed back surgery syndrome —roughly one out of every five patients. Residual numbness was reported by 69.8%, cold sensations by 43.3%, and paresthesia such as tingling or abnormal sensations by 35.3%.
