Jordan Spieth didn't just capture the hearts of golf enthusiasts worldwide with his record-setting, wire-to-wire victory at the 79th Masters Tournament; the 21-year-old prodigy also endeared himself to DCs around the globe by giving his doctor of chiropractic kudos during the traditional Green Jacket Ceremony following the event.

In his speech, Spieth made sure to thank the team "that allow my on-course efforts to come out": his instructor, his trainer – and his chiropractor, Dr. Troy Van Biezen. "They are the best at what they do and I put full trust in them," Spieth said.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery.
