Clearly, a sport that requires tremendous power and speed will lend itself to injuries. And so it is with basketball.
In fact, if you go by sheer number alone, basketball is the most injure-prone sport of any in the nation – with the latest 2010 data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission showing its 528,584 reported injuries, topping even football’s 489,676. Sidelining hoopsters were everything from back spasm to sprained ankles.
That explains why many professional teams – across the sports world – are now making chiropractic care part of their health regimen.
“It helps give teams and athletes a competitive advantage by assisting in the recovery from many structural injuries, putting them in a position to enhance endurance levels and achieve overall peak performance,” says Dr. Craig Buhler, who was the chiropractor for the Utah Jazz during a time when they had the lowest injury rate of any team in the NBA.
“I have personally seen how athletes are recognizing the value it has in accomplishing their goals of staying in the game and playing their best,” adds the avid supporter of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

There are some individuals who are destined into their life’s work and docMIKE is such an individual. After personally experiencing the disabling effects of a spinal injury and finding recovery through Chiropractic, following years of mismanagement by allopathic medicine, Michel Yves Tetrault entered an 8 year formal course of university toward the final degree as Doctor of Chiropractic, graduating suma cum laude in 1979.
The lessons learned on the “Wellness” topic come from a long and active holistic practice and from exposure to both scientific studies and traditional healing encountered from travels to over 30 countries in all continents; frequently being published with a propensity for educating people and an analytic mind that simply won’t quit; the outcome is an individual with a creative master mind affectionately known as docMIKE, Manila’s Wellness Guru and Chiropractor in Makati, Philippines.
