A feature artcle in the Philadelphia Daily News recently brought more natiaonl attention to teh regular use of chiropractic by Philadelphia Phillies Starting pitcher Cole Hamels, who led the team to its first world series appearance since 1993.
"I felt a difference right off the bat. A lot better than my physical therapy and prescription drugs the doctors were giving me," Hamels said of chiropractic during an interview with the daily news.
In late 2007, Hamels told reprters that his trip to the disabled list with a strained left elbow could have been prevented if he had access to reguklar chiropractic vistis. At the time, Hamels visited a chiropractor twice a week when home in Philadelphia, but chiropractic was unavailable during away games.
The Daily News reprted that in addtion to chiropractic, Hamels relies on yoga, massage, nutritional supplements such as fish oil, and Active Release Technique.
