When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
Washingtonian Magazine Rates King Koil as Best Mattress
Washingtonian magazine, a Washington, D.C. publication with a circulation of over 160,000, recently rated King Koil Spinal Guard mattresses as the best in its annual "Best and Worst" July issue. The International Chiropractors Association (ICA) has endorsed King Koil Spinal Guard mattresses since 1969.
The magazine quotes Julia Wray, D.C. of Alexandria, Virginia describing King Koil as "the Cadillac of mattresses." Dr. Wray explains in the article that unlike many other mattresses, the King Koil's reinforced center better supports the heaviest part of the body during sleep.
The ICA Posture Committee works closely with King Koil in creating posturally-supportive products. The partnership has resulted in the development of 12 different styles of chiropractically-sound bedding. Over two million people worldwide now own a King Koil sleep set.
