Secret Tell: Chiropractic Care Has Helped Me: Presentando Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt has been declared the �fastest man in the world.� While this hasn�t always been technically true, he has won so consistently at the 100 meter distance throughout his career that the nickname �lightning bolt� seems like a pretty good fit. He has won 6 Olympic gold medals, never placing for silver or bronze. In other world championships, he has collected 8 first place wins and 2 second place finishes. During his time competing In youth championships, he regularly took first place, rarely second, and never third.

For the tiny island nation of Jamaica, Usain Bolt is a hero. He�s confident. �I told you all I was going to be No. 1, and I did just that.� While he�s a supremely confident competitor, he�s also humble and cordial.

�Manners is the key thing,� said Bolt. �Say, for instance, when you�re growing up, you�re walking down the street, you�ve got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can�t pass one person.�

Pero o seu éxito na pista e o seu estrellato internacional non veu sen desafíos. Como mozo, Bolt sufriu escoliose.

�When I was younger, the scoliosis wasn�t really a problem. But you grow and it gets worse. My spine was really curved bad. The early part of my career, when we didn�t really know much about it, it really hampered me because I got injured every year.�

En lugar de usar unha cinta ou durar unha cirurxía perigosa para corrixir a curvatura anormal da súa columna vertebral, Usain Bolt usou tratamentos quiropracticos. �I�ve worked hard over the years. I�ve been injured and I�ve worked hard through it, and I�ve made it.� Bolt uses chiropractic not only to bounce back more quickly from injuries, but also to enhance his performance while healthy. �As long as I�m in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.�

Dr. Michael Douglas has worked with Bolt for many years. As founder of three South Florida Douglas Rapid Rehab Centers, he is also the Jamaican Olympic Team�s official chiropractor. He has held that position since 1996 and retains a certificate in Chiropractic Neurology. He combines traditional chiropractic techniques with sports injury rehabilitation to keep the Jamaican team in top condition.

Like all world champions, Usain Bolt realizes that his work is never done. �For me, I�m focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I�m working on it.� For Usain Bolt, chiropractic care has been�and continues to be�an essential part of his overall strategy for remaining healthy and competing successfully.
