Meb Keflezighi was the 1st American to win the Boston Marathon in 21 years.  Yes, he trained hard and is an amazing athlete.  Meb also relies on his chiropractor to keep him in optimum shape.  This is what Meb said about his San Diego, CA, based chiropractor

“As an elite athlete, recovery and therapy is essential to staying healthy and competitive. I have seen Dr. Devin Young as my chiropractor for years and see him twice a week during training. His care has been especially helpful leading up to and including the Boston Marathon. I have been able to recover faster and easier after races. He is very knowledgeable and professional, and I am very thankful to have him locally to keep me healthy”

World class athletes around the world know this.  Most professional sports teams have a chiropractor on staff to keep their athletes healthy and to hasten recovery when injuries do occur.
