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.

It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures.
