Do Chiropractors Hate CrossFit?

Admittedly, I used to. I was taught in school about not doing deep squats past parallel, and how deadlifts are bad for you. But something changed in me – I started CrossFit. After years of endurance sports like ultra-endurance cycling and triathlon, I realized my core was mush, and I couldn’t squat my own body weight on a bar. I decided to strengthen myself – especially  my core. CrossFit worked because it’s an hour long, it’s a group setting, and the workout is never the same. And I fell in love with it.

Now, after 8 years of CrossFit, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, and I was born in the 1970’s. I know what it’s like to get my first muscle up, to finally string double unders and butterfly pullups, and hit my first 50′ handstand walk.

The problem is that I know too many athletes who won’t get help when they hurt because:
1) They don’t want to stop working out
2)They think they can “work out” their way through it
3) They are afraid of finding out that something is wrong.

Well I’ve got bad news for you: Something is probably wrong. You just don’t know what it is yet, or how to fix it. And chances are it’s been there a while. The good news is that most of the time you don’t have to stop working out while we fix it. That means that you are taking control of your present and future, and you won’t lose any gains while we fix it.
