If It’s Good Enough For The Pros…Why Not You?

I’m often dumbfounded when I hear people complain that “their orthopedist didn’t recommend this treatment”. While, I certainly don’t always know what the surgeon has in mind for treatment, I do know an old saying “when you are a hammer all you see is nails” . They do surgery, so they’ll probably recommend surgery. Just like I take a non-surgical approach, I’m going to usually recommend that if it’s possible. What I find most interesting about this comment is that people think that one of us is wrong. I don’t think that it’s a right or wrong thing. This is the treatment I do, that’s the treatment they do. I do know that the treatment I recommend gets great results, with minimal or no risk in most cases. We can’t always say the same for surgery. The fact that I have dozens of testimonials from satisfied patients usually helps, but how about this story that I stumbled upon from a mentor and colleague of mine Dr. Eben Davis from San Francisco. I got this from his website. Thanks Eben!…

We now have the privilege at Executive Express Chiropractic of treating newly signed Dallas Cowboy Igor Olshansky, one of the strongest men in the NFL. Igor has been playing Defensive End for the San Diego Chargers for the past 5 years. He is in San Francisco to visit his father for Fathers Day.

His play helped make the San Diego Chargers defensive line one of the best in the NFL. Recently, Igor signed a multi-million dollar contract to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Igor is 6′ 6″ tall and around 320 lbs.
His body takes a pounding day in and day out, either on the field or training (watch Training with Igor Olshansky), so he began using the DRX9000 to help relieve pain from a herniated disc in his low back (not that uncommon in the NFL). Traditional therapies and treatments just did not seem to help enough.

Igor travels a lot and is now in the process of completing a 25 visit DRX9000 treatment plan in three different cities…San Francisco (with us), San Diego, and Dallas. His sister is a chiropractor and Igor is a big proponent for chiropractic care and also Active Release Techniques (ART).

Igor frequently gets treated by a chiropractor in San Diego who does ART to help with back pain and stiffness. Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000 and Active Release Techniques are two of the only treatments which offer him relief, which enables him to compete at the highest level in the NFL.

Igor Olshansky played high school football here in the San Francisco Bay Area at St. Ignatius High School (and college ball at Oregon)and often speaks to the student athletes about pursuing dreams through hard work and determination.
We can’t wait to see Igor play for the Dallas Cowboys and do his thing. In the meantime we will do our part to make sure his back is ready to go…training camp starts soon (I love football).

Side Note: It sure would make sense for NFL teams to contract with local chiropractors to have all players go through DRX9000 treatments as a cautionary measure to reduce the likelihood of ongoing lumbar and cervical disc disorders from becoming chronic and interfering with play.

So pretty interesting huh? Here’s a guy that could have ANY treatment he wants, (last I checked the NFL teams spend a pretty penny on their players medical treatments), I mean money is NOT an issue, and he gets the DRX 9000 done for his herniated disc. Not surgery from some famous orthopedist, but the DRX 9000! This is a man that is trusting his career on this technology. Why? Because it works! And…I know for a fact some other famous NFL players have done treatment on their backs with the DRX-9000, but due to privacy laws we can’t name who!

Just something to think about next time you are “on the fence” about seeking treatment at our facility with the DRX 9000.

Be well,
Dr. J
