"Bridging the Gap in Sports Care": "As sports chiropractors, one of the things that we've really tried to do as far as niching ourselves is trying to find some way which we can bridge the gap between sports medicine and sports performance."
Dr. Tom Teter
00:04:51
00:05:08
Bridging the Gap in Sports Chiropractic: "The reason why we never really move forward is because we are constantly trying to search for the next best thing or the newest technique to try to bridge that gap between rehab and performance, instead of taking things that we already know and creating a system to make sure that the gap doesn't exist in the first place."
Dr. Tom Teter
00:08:52
00:09:04
The Misunderstood Role of Sports Chiropractors: "Now one of the main challenges with having a historical use of the term sports chiropractic and a wide scope of practice is that those outside of the chiropractic profession have no idea what we do."
Dr. Tom Teter
00:12:26

### Blog Post: Part 3 - Unlocking Elite Performance with Dr. Tom Teter
**Title: Bridging the Gap Between Rehabilitation and Performance**
Welcome to the final part of our engaging series with Dr. Tom Teter on the FAKTR Podcast, hosted by Jessica Riddle. In this episode, we address the pivotal challenges in sports chiropractic and explore ways to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and peak athletic performance.
#### Key Points Discussed:
**Challenges in Sports Chiropractic:**
Dr. Teter outlines five key issues that impede progress in the field: identity, intent, focus, skill set, and expression of abilities. He provides insights on how sports chiropractors can overcome these challenges to enhance their practice.
**Shifting Terminology and Focus:**
Dr. Teter advocates for a terminology shift from "sports chiropractor" to terms like "performance chiropractor" or "human performance practitioner." This rebranding aims to better reflect the comprehensive nature of their role, focusing on enhancing overall human movement and performance.
**Mindset Shift:**
A critical shift from participation-focused (getting back to sport) to task-focused (having necessary physical prerequisites) understanding. This broader perspective emphasizes performance as fulfilling various tasks and purposes effectively.
**Definition of Function:**
Breaking away from the traditional local view (specific muscles/joints) to a holistic view of function. Understanding that complete recovery is not just about pain relief but also about ensuring full functional readiness to avoid reinjury.
**Revised Approach to Rehabilitation:**
Dr. Teter proposes starting with the intended outcome (e.g., playing a sport again) and working backward to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that moves patients through all necessary stages for full recovery and readiness.
#### Take-Aways:
1. **Overcoming Challenges:** Identifying and addressing the core challenges in sports chiropractic can elevate the practice.
2. **Terminology Shift:** Using terms like “performance chiropractor” can better reflect the comprehensive nature of care provided.
3. **Holistic Function:** Viewing function through a global lens ensures complete recovery and prevents reinjury.
4. **Backward Planning:** Start with end goals and plan rehabilitation backward to ensure comprehensive care.
This concludes our thought-provoking series with Dr. Tom Teter. We hope these insights will inspire and guide practitioners towards a more integrated and effective approach to sports chiropractic care. Be sure to stay tuned for more transformative content on the FAKTR Podcast!

**Title: Bridging the Gap Between Rehabilitation and Performance: Insights from Dr. Tom Teter**
**Subheader: How a Comprehensive Approach Can Unlock Elite Performance in Athletes**
Welcome to a groundbreaking discussion on the FAKTR podcast, where Dr. Tom Teter joins host Jessica Riddle to explore the intricacies of enhancing athlete performance. In Part 1 of this series, Dr. Teter discusses an innovative approach that shifts the focus from mere pain relief to full functional recovery and performance optimization. Here’s a deeper dive into the topics discussed in this enlightening episode.
**From Treatment to Management**
Traditional sports chiropractic has often focused on relieving pain, but Dr. Teter advocates for a more comprehensive approach. Transitioning from treatment to management involves overseeing the entire recovery journey—from acute injury to full performance. This shift emphasizes a broader scope of care, integrating multiple skill sets and methodologies.
**Rehabilitation Continuum**
A key highlight from Dr. Teter's discussion is the "Rehab Continuum," a six-stage model designed to guide practitioners through a structured rehabilitation process. Each stage has its unique objectives and techniques:
1. **Acute Management (AM)**: Focuses on reducing pain and decreasing tissue sensitivity through techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, dynamic taping, cold laser, dry needling, and vibration therapy.
2. **Foundational Kinematics (FK)**: Aims to restore normal motion and provide afferent input to the central nervous system. Techniques include myofascial decompression, compression flossing, and joint mobilization.
3. **Motor Control (MC)**: Enhances stability and motor output, reinforcing efferent functions with methods like positional isometrics, functional range conditioning, and blood flow restriction.
4. **Functional Integration (FI)**: Involves reloading movement patterns and improving strength and aerobic endurance. This stage integrates complex movements that replicate sports-specific tasks.
5. **Progressive Kinetics (PK)**: Focuses on rebuilding force production and power through high-intensity activities, such as sprinting and jumping.
6. **Fundamental Capacity (FC)**: Trains specific motor skills and work capacity needed for the athlete's sport, ensuring they are fully prepared to return to their activity with reduced injury risk.
**Key Issues in Sports Chiropractic**
Dr. Teter identifies five main issues that limit progress in sports chiropractic: identity, intent, focus, skill set, and expression of abilities. He emphasizes that many practitioners focus too narrowly on acute management and foundational kinematics, neglecting the broader range of skills required for comprehensive rehabilitation.
**Shifting Perspectives**
A significant part of Dr. Teter’s approach involves shifting perspectives. Rather than acquiring new techniques, he suggests reevaluating existing methods and focusing on how they integrate into a holistic care model. For instance, he proposes the term "performance chiropractor" instead of "sports chiropractor." This change better reflects the broader task of enhancing human movement and performance, not just sports abilities.
**A New Mindset in Care**
The podcast discusses the importance of moving from a participation-focused mindset (getting athletes back to sport) to a task-focused perspective (ensuring athletes have the necessary physical prerequisites). This means looking at performance as not merely being able to participate in sports but fulfilling intended purposes and tasks effectively.
**Function Redefined**
Dr. Teter advocates for viewing function through a global perspective. Traditional care often stops once pain is alleviated, leading to potential reinjury. His approach aims to ensure athletes pass through all stages of care to achieve optimal performance readiness.
**Modern Approaches and Techniques**
Shifting from traditional to modern care involves adopting a multimodal approach. Techniques discussed include:
- Joint manipulation (Motion Palpation Institute)
- Soft tissue techniques (Active Release Technique, Fascial Manipulation)
- Instrumentation (Graston Technique, FAKTR)
- Neurodynamics, Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction, Taping methods
These diverse techniques, combined with rigorous certifications, form a logical system for comprehensive care.
**Holistic Philosophy**
Ultimately, Dr. Teter's philosophy encourages integrating various skill sets and techniques systematically. This holistic approach addresses the overall function and performance of athletes rather than isolated treatment of conditions. He believes that by shifting perspectives and adopting a comprehensive approach, practitioners can effectively bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance.
**Conclusion**
The insights shared by Dr. Teter underscore the need for a paradigm shift in sports chiropractic. By adopting a comprehensive, management-based approach, practitioners can unlock elite performance in athletes, ensuring they not only recover from injuries but also achieve their highest potential. Stay tuned for the next episode, where we delve deeper into athlete involvement in recovery and the development of a multifaceted skill set.

# Unlocking Elite Performance: A Deep Dive with Dr. Tom Teter on Modern Sports Chiropractic
## Introduction
In the latest episode of the FAKTR Podcast, host Jessica Riddle (she/her) sits down with Dr. Tom Teter to embark on a comprehensive exploration of modern sports chiropractic, delving into its evolving scope and methodologies. Dr. Teter presents a paradigm shift in patient care, moving from a treatment-centric approach to a broader management-based process. He emphasizes the multifaceted skill set required to alleviate pain, restore function, and ultimately enhance athletic performance through a structured Rehab Continuum, which he breaks down into six distinct stages. This blog post will unpack key themes from the podcast, providing insights into how this innovative approach can bridge the gap between rehabilitation and elite performance.
## From Treatment to Management: A Holistic Approach
### The Rehab Continuum
Dr. Tom Teter highlights the necessity of addressing patient care as a continuum rather than a series of isolated treatments. This continuum moves chronologically from acute injury management to optimal performance readiness. Here are the six stages:
1. **Acute Management (AM)**: Reduces pain and decreases tissue sensitivity.
2. **Foundational Kinematics (FK)**: Restores normal motion and sensory input to the Central Nervous System (CNS).
3. **Motor Control (MC)**: Enhances stability and motor output.
4. **Functional Integration (FI)**: Reloads movement patterns, improving strength and endurance.
5. **Progressive Kinetics (PK)**: Rebuilds force production and power.
6. **Fundamental Capacity (FC)**: Trains motor skills and work capacity specific to sports.
This structured approach ensures athletes move beyond mere pain relief and toward full, injury-resistant functionality.
### Techniques and Interventions
Within each stage of the Rehab Continuum, Dr. Teter identifies specific interventions.
**Acute Management** includes techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, dynamic taping, cold laser therapy, dry needling, vibration therapy, and acoustic wave therapy. These methods aim to "put out the fire" of injury by alleviating pain and lowering tissue sensitivity.
**Foundational Kinematics** employs methods like myofascial decompression, compression flossing, dynamic soft tissue mobilization (DSM), neurodynamics, joint mobilization, and fascial tensioning methods (FTM). These techniques are geared toward restoring normal motion and sensory feedback to the CNS.
**Motor Control** focuses on positional isometrics, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), functional range conditioning, combined loading, and blood flow restriction. These interventions enhance the athlete's stability and motor functions, reinforcing their physical capabilities.
### The Modern Practitioner’s Skill Set
Dr. Teter stresses the importance of a comprehensive skill set encompassing multiple techniques and certifications. A modern sports chiropractor isn’t just versed in joint manipulation but also incorporates:
1. **Joint Manipulation**: Techniques from the Motion Palpation Institute.
2. **Soft Tissue Techniques**: Including Active Release Technique and Fascia Manipulation.
3. **Instrumentation**: Utilizing tools like the Graston Technique and FAKTR.
4. **Advanced Techniques**: Such as Neurodynamics, Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction, and various taping methods.
This multimodal approach allows for a more thorough and systematic treatment of athletes, addressing not just the injury but the broader aspects of human movement and performance.
### Redefining Performance Chiropractic
**Shift in Terminology and Focus**
Dr. Teter advocates for rebranding "sports chiropractic" to terms like "performance chiropractic" or "human performance practitioner." This shift better reflects their role in enhancing overall human functionality and performance, not merely improving sports-specific abilities.
**Mindset Shift**
The mindset should shift from being participation-focused (returning to sport) to task-focused (preparing for necessary physical tasks). This broadens the perspective to emphasize functional readiness for various life and athletic activities.
**Reassessment of Goals**
Function should be viewed globally, considering the entire body’s performance capabilities rather than isolated muscle or joint functions. Traditional care models often discharge patients once pain is alleviated, which can result in recurrent injuries. Dr. Teter proposes starting with the intended outcome (e.g., playing soccer) and working backward to develop an appropriate rehabilitation plan from the current condition (e.g., acute ankle pain).
### Conclusion: A New Era in Sports Chiropractic
Dr. Tom Teter's insights usher in a new era of sports chiropractic that transcends traditional methods and embraces a holistic, performance-oriented approach. By integrating a comprehensive skill set and advancing through the stages of the Rehab Continuum, practitioners can ensure athletes achieve not only full recovery but also enhanced performance and reduced reinjury risk. The concepts discussed in this episode of the FAKTR Podcast pave the way for innovative, effective care that supports athletes in reaching their highest potential.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where Jessica Riddle and Dr. Teter will delve deeper into athlete involvement in recovery and the development of a multifaceted skill set.

### Part 1: Moving from Treatment to Management in Patient Care
**Unlocking Elite Performance: A New Approach to Chiropractic Care**
**Transforming Patient Care**
Traditionally, chiropractic care has focused primarily on alleviating pain and restoring joint function. However, a more progressive approach involves shifting from merely treating conditions to managing the entire rehabilitation process. This paradigm emphasizes continuous improvement beyond pain relief, ensuring patients regain full function and capabilities. The goal is to usher patients through a comprehensive pathway from acute management to complete recovery.
**Six Stages of Care**
This innovative method consists of a "Rehab Continuum," composed of six sequential stages. Each stage addresses specific aspects of recovery:
1. **Acute Management (AM):** Initial interventions aimed at mitigating pain and reducing tissue sensitivity.
2. **Foundational Kinematics (FK):** Focuses on restoring normal motion and afferent input to the central nervous system.
3. **Motor Control (MC):** Enhances stability and motor output to reinforce efferent functions.
4. **Functional Integration (FI):** Reloads movement patterns while increasing strength and aerobic endurance.
5. **Progressive Kinetics (PK):** Rebuilds force production and power, incorporating activities like sprinting and jumping.
6. **Fundamental Capacity (FC):** Trains motor skills and work capacity specific to sports and the intended physical tasks.
**From Acute Management to Foundational Kinematics**
**Pain Alleviation and Tissue Sensitivity Reduction**
The Acute Management stage is paramount for calming the immediate "fire" of an injury. This phase includes techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, dynamic taping, cold laser therapy, dry needling, vibration therapy, and acoustic wave therapy. These methods are selected to minimize pain and help desensitize the affected tissues, laying the groundwork for more advanced stages of rehabilitation.
**Restoring Motion**
Following Acute Management, the transition to Foundational Kinematics begins. Here, the focus shifts to re-establishing normal motion and delivering proper sensory input to the brain. Techniques deployed during this phase include myofascial decompression, compression flossing, direct soft tissue mobilization (DSM), neurodynamics, joint mobilization, and functional therapeutic movement (FTM). Each technique aims to eliminate restrictions, ensuring the patient's movement is fluid and unhindered.
**Foundational Kinematics to Motor Control**
Restored motion provides the foundation for the next critical phase: Motor Control. Once patients regain their range of motion, the focus is on stability and precise motor output. Advanced techniques like positional isometrics, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), functional range conditioning, combined loading, and blood flow restriction training come into play. These methods reinforce the brain’s ability to direct specific movements and maintain stability, which is vital for preventing reinjuries.
By comprehensively managing each stage in the rehabilitation continuum, this approach ensures patients not only recover but also build resilience against future injuries. The ultimate objective is to transition athletes from merely being pain-free to their optimal performance levels, reducing the likelihood of re-injury and enhancing overall functional capabilities.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where the focus will be on integrating functional movement patterns and enhancing performance through advanced kinesiology.

### Part 2: Integrating Functional Movement Patterns and Enhancing Performance
**From Rehabilitation to Peak Performance**
**Functional Integration**
Once foundational motion and motor control are reestablished, the focus advances to Functional Integration. This phase involves reloading movement patterns that have been disrupted due to injury. The key objective here is to bolster strength and aerobic endurance, ensuring the individual can perform complex movements comfortably and efficiently. During this stage, exercises and techniques that promote comprehensive functional integration are employed. This aids in re-establishing coordination and synergy among various muscle groups.
**Reinforcing Movement Patterns**
Functional Integration techniques often incorporate neuromuscular re-education exercises which focus on core strength, proprioception, and balance. This stage of rehabilitation is crucial for realigning the body's movement mechanics, allowing it to perform both everyday tasks and sporting activities with greater efficiency and reduced risk of injury. Ensuring correct movement patterns also aids in optimizing strength and endurance, which are critical components for the next stages of recovery.
**Progressing to Progressive Kinetics**
**Building Force Production and Power**

Activities such as sprinting, jumping, and plyometric exercises are introduced. These tasks are designed to enhance the body's explosive strength and power, forming the basis for high-performance movements and athletic endeavors.
**Adapting Load and Resistance**
During Progressive Kinetics, load management becomes increasingly critical. By systematically quantifying and managing the load, practitioners can prevent chronic injuries that often arise from overuse and improper training regimens. Exercises are tailored to enhance the athlete's specific energy systems, muscular strength, and overall power capacity. This stage is dynamic and demands a highly individualized approach, ensuring that each athlete can achieve optimal conditioning pertinent to their sport.
**The Final Frontier: Fundamental Capacity**
**Motor Skills Refinement**
The culminating stage in this innovative rehabilitation continuum is Fundamental Capacity. At this juncture, the focus is on training sports-specific motor skills and enhancing an athlete's overall work capacity. This stage incorporates extensive skill training, ensuring that athletes can perform the physical tasks required by their sport or activity proficiently.
**Ensuring Full Performance Readiness**
Fundamental Capacity doesn't just aim to return athletes to their pre-injury state; it prepares them to exceed their previous performance levels. By focusing on endurance, agility, and specific athletic skills, this phase builds a comprehensive skill set that enhances an athlete's proficiency and competence. These tailored and progressive exercises ensure athletes not only recover but are better equipped to tackle the demands of their sports, reducing the likelihood of reinjury.
Next, Part 3 will explore shifting perspectives from sports-focused rehabilitation to a more holistic, human performance-oriented approach. This perspective emphasizes the broader aspects of movement and life tasks beyond just athletic performance.
---
### Part 3: Shifting Perspectives in Rehabilitation
**Moving Beyond Traditional Sports Chiropractic**
**Reevaluating Goals and Definitions**
The shift from traditional sports chiropractic to a more encompassing "performance chiropractic" or "human performance practitioner" model represents a significant evolution in how care is delivered. This approach not only addresses sports performance but enhances human movement and tasks critical to everyday life. The goal is to improve the overall functional capacity, not just the ability to perform in one particular sport.
**Mindset Shift: Task-Focused Rehabilitation**
Historically, the focus has been on getting athletes "back to sport." However, a broader understanding recognizes the importance of having athletes meet all the physical prerequisites necessary for their tasks. This means viewing performance not just as participation in sports but as a comprehensive ability to fulfill intended roles and tasks effectively.
**From Participation-Focused to Task-Focused Care**
This mindset shift acknowledges that function should be seen through a broader lens: moving from isolated muscle or joint care to a whole-body perspective. Comprehensive care recognizes that traditional approaches often fall short. Once pain subsides and joint function is restored, many athletes are prematurely returned to play, setting the stage for potential reinjuries. Instead, this revised approach emphasizes a thorough and methodical progression through all stages of care, ensuring that athletes are not just pain-free but fully functional and resilient.
**Revamping Rehabilitation Strategies**
**Comprehensive Rehab Continuum**
By starting with the intended outcome (e.g., playing soccer) and working backward to an athlete's current condition (e.g., acute ankle pain), a thorough and customized rehabilitation plan can be developed. This strategy ensures a holistic recovery by addressing each necessary stage comprehensively. Beginning with acute management, it moves through foundational kinematics, motor control, and functional integration, into progressive kinetics, and finally fundamental capacity, covering every detail needed for full performance readiness.
**Modern Techniques and Certifications**
The modern landscape of chiropractic care is rich with diverse techniques and certifications. These include joint manipulation through institutes such as the Motion Palpation Institute, soft tissue techniques (e.g., Active Release Technique, Fascial Manipulation), instrumentation techniques (e.g., Graston Technique, FAKTR), and advanced methods like Neurodynamics, Dry Needling, Blood Flow Restriction, and specialized taping methods. Each of these techniques plays a crucial role in ensuring a multimodal and integrative approach to care, delivering optimal results.
**Holistic and Inclusive Care**
Embracing these varied techniques cultivates a broader and more inclusive approach to chiropractic care. It ensures practitioners can address the entire scope of an athlete's needs, not just isolated conditions. This comprehensive approach integrates various skill sets systematically, aiming to tackle overall function and performance, thus providing holistic care and enhancing the patient’s overall quality of life and athletic performance.
**The Future of Athletic Care**
This future-focused perspective in chiropractic care calls for a reassessment of goals, techniques, and patient education. It emphasizes moving beyond traditional methods to embrace a more holistic, management-based process that ensures athletes and individuals regain full function and excel in their respective tasks. Through comprehensive care, these innovative approaches are poised to revolutionize the field of sports chiropractic, setting new standards for rehabilitation and performance.
By realizing the potential of these advanced methods and properly educating patients, the gap between rehabilitation and peak performance can be effectively bridged, leading to a more robust, resilient, and high-performing athletic population.

**INTRO MUSIC PLAYS**
JESSICA RIDDLE (Host):
Welcome back to the FAKTR Podcast! I'm your host, Jessica Riddle, and today we are diving deep into part one of our series with the esteemed Dr. Tom Teter. Dr. Teter, I'm thrilled to have you join us.
DR. TOM TETER (Guest):
Thanks, Jessica. It's great to be here.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
In today’s episode, we’re talking about a profound shift in the approach to patient care. Dr. Teter, you’ve been an advocate for moving from just treating injuries to fully managing the recovery process. Can you elaborate on this perspective?
DR. TOM TETER:
Absolutely. Traditionally, we’ve focused on alleviating pain and restoring joint function, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We need a comprehensive skill set that extends from acute management all the way to full recovery and performance readiness. This means focusing on five key areas: acute management, movement, fitness, load management, and recovery.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
That’s fascinating. Let's break that down for our listeners. What exactly are the stages of this “Rehab Continuum” that you advocate?
DR. TOM TETER:
The Rehab Continuum consists of six critical stages. We start with Acute Management (AM) to reduce pain and decrease tissue sensitivity. Next, we have Foundational Kinematics (FK), which focuses on restoring mobility. Then, we move onto Motor Control (MC) for stability and motor function. The fourth stage, Functional Integration (FI), is where we begin to reload movement patterns. Progressive Kinetics (PK) builds on force production and power, and finally, Fundamental Capacity (FC) trains the specific motor skills and work capacity related to sports performance.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
And each of these stages has specific techniques and interventions, correct?
DR. TOM TETER:
Yes, that’s right. For instance, in Acute Management, we might employ diaphragmatic breathing, dynamic taping, cold laser therapy, or dry needling. These techniques help to reduce pain and sensitivity. As we progress to Foundational Kinematics, we might use myofascial decompression, joint mobilization, and neurodynamics to restore normal motion and input to the central nervous system.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
I can see how that could dramatically improve outcomes for patients. You also emphasize the importance of patient education in this process. Can you tell us more about that?
DR. TOM TETER:
Education is critical. Patients need to understand not just what we’re doing, but why. Teaching them about each stage, the techniques involved, and the goals of their rehabilitation empowers them to take an active role in their recovery. This involvement accelerates healing and reduces the risk of reinjury.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
That makes so much sense. It’s about fostering engagement and responsibility in their own health journey.
DR. TOM TETER:
Exactly. Additionally, there’s a broader conversation about terminology and how it impacts perception. The term "sports chiropractor" can sometimes be misleading. I suggest using "performance chiropractor" or "human performance practitioner" to better reflect our role in enhancing overall human movement, not just improving sports performance.
JESSICA RIDDLE:
It’s all about changing the mindset and focusing on holistic performance rather than just the immediate injury.
DR. TOM TETER:
Precisely. We need to consider the whole body and its ability to perform tasks effectively. By starting with the intended outcome and working backward, we can develop a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that ensures athletes return to their sports at full capacity, reducing the risk of reinjury.

Title: Unlocking Elite Performance in Sports Chiropractic: Addressing Challenges with Dr. Tom Teter
Introduction:
In the realm of sports chiropractic, the journey from initial injury to peak performance is fraught with challenges. In this episode of the FAKTR Podcast, Dr. Tom Teter and host Jessica Riddle delve into the common pain points faced by sports chiropractors and healthcare providers. They also provide actionable strategies to transition from mere treatment to comprehensive management, aiming to enhance athlete recovery and performance. This guide will highlight key challenges and the solutions proposed, equipping healthcare professionals with insights to optimize their practice and patient outcomes.
1. Bridging the Gap Between Rehabilitation and Performance:
One of the main challenges identified is the difficulty in seamlessly transitioning patients from rehabilitation to full performance readiness. To address this:
- **Adopt a Rehab Continuum**: Implement Dr. Teter's six stages of care (AM, FK, MC, FI, PK, FC) to ensure patients progress methodically from acute management to peak performance.
- **Patient Education**: Educate patients on each stage’s significance, ensuring they understand the necessity of progressing through all phases to avoid reinjury.
- **Comprehensive Skill Set**: Develop expertise not just in acute management but in foundational kinematics, motor control, and functional integration to support a holistic recovery process.
2. Shifting Perceptions within Sports Chiropractic:
Dr. Teter discusses how the term "sports chiropractic" can limit understanding of the field’s potential. The solution lies in:
- **Terminology Evolution**: Transition to terms like "performance chiropractor" or "human performance practitioner" to better reflect the broader scope of enhancing human movement and performance.
- **Mindset Shift**: Move from a participation-focused (back to sport) to a task-focused (physical prerequisites for tasks) approach, broadening the definition of function from local to global perspectives.
3. Managing Chronic Injuries through Load Management:
Chronic injuries stem from ineffective load management and recovery practices. Strategies to tackle this include:
- **Quantify and Manage Load**: Implement systematic methods to quantify physical loads and adjust them to prevent overuse injuries.
- **Recovery Optimization**: Integrate recovery methods tailored to optimize adaptation, reducing the risk of reinjury by ensuring proper recovery protocols.
- **Fitness and Load Management**: Focus on fitness elements such as strength, power, and work capacity to build a robust foundation for athletic performance.
4. Ensuring Comprehensive Athlete Care:
Traditional care often ends when pain subsides, but this premature cessation can lead to reinjury. Strategies here are:
- **Revised Rehabilitation Approach**: Begin with the intended outcome (e.g., returning to competitive play) and develop a backward plan focusing on the athlete’s current condition.
- **Functional Integration**: Reload movement patterns incrementally, focusing on motor skills and work capacity specific to sports to achieve full functional capacity.
- **Continuous Monitoring**: Monitor athlete progress continuously through all stages of care, adjusting interventions as necessary to ensure optimal recovery.
5. Developing a Diverse Skill Set:
To provide comprehensive care, sports chiropractors need a wide range of techniques at their disposal. Dr. Teter advises:
- **Certifications and Techniques**: Gain certifications in techniques like Active Release Technique, Fascial Manipulation, Graston Technique, Neurodynamics, Dry Needling, and more.
- **Holistic Integration**: Apply a multimodal approach, combining manual techniques, instrumentation, and other interventions to address overall athlete function.
- **Ongoing Education**: Invest in continuous learning and professional development to stay updated on the latest methodologies and integrate advanced practices into patient care.
Conclusion:
The challenges in sports chiropractic are multifaceted, but with the right strategies, healthcare providers can successfully bridge the gap between treatment and performance. By adopting a comprehensive Rehab Continuum, evolving perceptions and terminologies, managing loads effectively, ensuring holistic care, and diversifying skill sets, sports chiropractors can significantly enhance athlete recovery and performance. Dr. Tom Teter’s insights offer a path forward, transforming how we perceive and practice sports chiropractic for optimal outcomes.
