It’s our favorite time of year…THE OLYMPICS!
The XXV Winter Olympic Games, commonly known as Milano Cortina 2026, kicks off with the Opening Ceremony right now and runs through February 22nd at sites across Lombardy and Northeast Italy. Approximately 2,900 athletes from more than 90 countries will compete in 116 medal events across 16 disciplines. Team USA is sending 232 athletes – our largest ever Winter Olympic team. That includes 28 athletes with Michigan connections, with representation in men’s and women’s ice hockey, figure skating, snowboarding, and freestyle skiing.
Along with being the leading international sporting event on the planet, the Olympics are a fantastic opportunity the profession can use to showcase the competitive advantage chiropractic care gives world-class athletes advancing the chiropractic discipline while raising the visibility of our field.
A chiropractor, Dr. William Moreau, DC, DACBSP, FACSM, has even served as the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Vice President of Sports Medicine, overseeing all sports medicine-related activities, including medical services at the Olympic/Paralympic Games and the management of USOC Clinics at the U.S. Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs, Chula Vista, and Lake Placid. Dr.
Moreau was one of the major reasons why Dr. Hilton completed a rotation for Team USA at the Olympic Training Center. He trained with Dr. Moreau in becoming a certified sports Chiropractor in 2011.
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, included chiropractic care inside the Olympic Village Polyclinic, a multi-disciplinary facility offering comprehensive healthcare and medical services, marking the first time that chiropractors from the host country treated athletes and officials from around the world directly inside the Polyclinic. In 2012, there were 28 chiropractors in the Olympic polyclinic and 27 others working with foreign countries and teams from around the world.
We are proud Olympic chiropractors at dcg!
