Dr. Jeremy Busch, chief executive officer of Performance Sport & Spine, a local chiropractic and sports performance expert in Front Royal, was recently selected to complete a highly competitive rotation within an elite Sports Medicine Clinic in Chula Vista, CA.
Dr. Busch worked as a member of the Sports Medicine Department providing Chiropractic Medicine, soft tissue mobilization, and physical medicine as well as rehabilitative exercises to world-class athletes within a variety of sports throughout his two-week rotation that finished the first week of February.
“I was honored to have this rare opportunity to work within the Sports Medicine Department for some of America’s best athletes alongside some of the best healthcare providers in the world,” Dr. Busch said. “This is a dream come true and an opportunity of a lifetime for me as a chiropractor and sports performance expert. This experience allowed me to put my skills and abilities to work while seeing an immediate benefit to individual athlete’s performance.
Intense training is an important aspect of the elite training center. The athletes commonly have two to three high-intensity training sessions as well as a strength and conditioning session daily. The stresses on their bodies are continuous; therefore, the athletes are constantly evaluated and treated in order to continue optimal performance through their training sessions without the threat of injury. Most of the athletes rely on a combination of chiropractic and physical medicine including rehabilitative exercises to maintain this optimal performance. Dr. Busch spent a majority of his time working with athletes from teams including rowing, rugby 7s, BMX, track & field, soccer, archery and field hockey.
“I was pleased to see not only the level of full integration of chiropractic care, but that the chiropractic physicians were so heavily sought after by the athletes as a primary form of care,” Dr. Busch said. “Chiropractic care is definitely supporting our elite athletes as they approach upcoming world competitions and I was ecstatic to contribute to this team.”
