Celebrity chiropractic patients

Tiger Woods -I’ve been going to a Chiropractor for as long as I can remember. It is as important to my training as the practice of my swing.

Jerry Rice, 49ers All-Pro Wide Receiver - Most injuries require chiropractic care. It works better for me than anything else.

Evander Holyfield, Heavyweight Champ -I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to my chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge.

Johnny Damon, NY Yankees Centerfielder, MLB Allstar -Without chiropractic, I wouldn’t be able to play consistently throughout the season.

Arnold Schwartzenager -Chiropractors are miracle workers

Mel Gibson -"Chiropractic is about health and fitness. Chiropractic is about natural, preventive health care. What you are doing, and I have experienced this for the last 30 years myself on my own body, means that whenever I have a problem—or even if I don’t have a problem—and I go to a chiropractor, my problems are gone for a long time."
In that story they talk about how Mel Gibson uses chiropractic on a regular basis. In the article he states, "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina — spend a week and work on the entire crew. All the stunt guys were like, Oh, fix my disc. He is putting their discs back in. The guy is amazing."  

Peter Fonda - “Regular chiropractic adjustments go hand in hand with good health.”

Liza Minelli - “I rely on regular chiropractic care to keep in shape for my strenuous type of acting and singing.”

Jane Russell – “ I credit chiropractic care for maintaining my helath to keep up the pace of my career.”

Robert Goulet – I wouldn’t be without my regular schedule of chiropractic adjustments because of my very strenuous schedule.”

Carol Lawrence – “Chiropractic keeps me in shape for my life as a TV, stage, and screen star, wife and mother.”

Jack LaLanne- “The spine is the lifeline. A lot of people should go to a chiropractor but they don’t know it.”

Montel Williams - “It’s the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!” After suffering 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, he experienced almost instantaneous relief from pain with his first chiropractic adjustment. “There’s not a person who knows me who will not confirm this. I am walking differently, my pain is less, I’ve already regained strength in my left leg.” He also added that he could stand up straight without pain for the first time in more than five years.
And the list goes on and on.

Kinesio Tape

Kinesio tape...It's magic tape to several of my patients!

By Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY
There is an entirely different school of taping. It uses just a few strips of placed elastic, cotton tape. No encasing.
Called kinesio taping, it originated in Japan about three decades ago. There are kinesio taping procedures for all sorts of muscle and joint problems. The tape is meant to be left on for several days.

Kinesio taping for lower back pain, for example, involves two vertical strips on each side of the spine and one horizontal strip over the strained area.

"There is a method to the madness," says John Jarvis, director of the Kinesio Taping Association, a division of Albuquerque,-based Kinesio USA, a company which imports kinesio tape from Japan for sale in the USA and Canada.

Jarvis says kinesio taping "corrects muscle function, improves circulation of blood and lymph, repositions the joint and relieves pain."

The placing of the tape along muscles is aimed at assisting movement. "As the muscle fibers contract, Kinesio Tape supports the contraction by pulling and stimulating the skin and muscle back towards the origin," the Kinesio Taping Association says in its literature. It says the lifting of the skin by the tape (which has adhesive activated by body heat) allows lymph to drain more freely.

"It's completely different from what they (athletic trainers) were trained to do." says Jarvis. "They were going to immobilize something. This is encouraging range of motion."

Kinesio USA originally had tape that came in hot pink and blue. It has added beige and black to accommodate teams that don't want it to clash with their colors.

In his 2003 book Every Second Counts, Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong noted his team used "a special hot-pink athletic tape that came from Japan and seemed to have magical powers."

Armstrong added: "Sometimes we'd be so wrapped up in hot-pink tape that we'd look like dolls, a bunch of broken dolls But the tape worked, so we kept it, because it could fix things."

Jarvis says, "The Lance thing really helped us" and that kinesio taping has the attention of athletic trainers.

Dr. Flynn comment:
I have used this tape for the past five years and have seen amazing results with my patients.
One of my patients nearly cancelled participation in this weekends mini-marathon due to knee and thigh pain. I treated her using Kinesio tape along with lower back adjustments and muscle work. She said with Kinesio tape she felt an immediate relief and is excited to run in the mini without pain.
