Derek Para, Olympic Speed Skater Derek is also a huge fan of chiropractic care. "I've always believed in chiropractic care. I've used a lot of other treatments for injuries and pain, but the problem doesn't get fixed until I go to a doctor of chiropractic," Derek explained.  Derek is also an "endorsed" (spokesperson) athlete of the American Chiropractic Association. Derek joins the large and growing list of Olympic and professional athletes who regularly depend on chiropractic care.  Chiropractic care not only helps them in recovering from injuries, but because chiropractic removes interference from the nervous system, (subluxations) it allows the athletes to compete at a higher level.  And at the Olympic or professional level, any extra advantage or edge in performance can make all the difference in the world.
