F4CP Highlights Sports Chiropractic

The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress has launched a new campaign, "Optimizing Performance With Chiropractic Care." Per the foundation, "The print and social media campaign features 18 athletes and their experiences with chiropractic, and is dedicated to boosting awareness about the value of chiropractic care for athletic performance and health, as well as inspiring consumers to pursue a career in chiropractic." The campaign is particularly timely considering the gradual return to play by many young athletes following COVID restrictions; as well as the recent optimism regarding this year's Tokyo Summer Olympics.
