Since then, I have not had any arm problems.\u00a0The whole team\u00a0appreciates him and the work he did throughout the season. I know while being under Dr. Filson&#8217;s care, I was able to feel 100 percent while on the mound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Dr. Filson was awarded a World Series ring for his role with the Cardinals, and was proud to play a similar role in the 2011 championship. \u00a0He also treated David Eckstein, Most Valuable Player on the Cardinals 2006 World Series Team, citing the importance of chiropractic care in helping players to achieve optimal performance: \u00a0\u201cI am proud to have provided chiropractic care to the Cardinals for so many years, and gratified that chiropractic has contributed to the players\u2019 optimal performance during every game. \u00a0We are all excited about bringing home the 2011 World Series title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr.\u00a0Gazdar, who began working with the San Francisco Giants in 2008,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and was seen by millions celebrating at the pitcher\u2019s mound with the players following the game-ending play that resulted in the Giants World Series title, \u201cChiropractic care was a significant factor in the San Francisco Giants 2010 victory. \u00a0One of the Giants\u2019 pitchers relied upon chiropractic adjustments for all of his pitching starts, and virtually every player benefitted from chiropractic services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both doctors express their enthusiasm for the inclusion of chiropractic care for virtually every team participating in professional sports, including golf, football, hockey, basketball and baseball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Foundation for Chiropractic Progress\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A not-for-profit organization, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress aims to inform and educate the general public about the many benefits associated with chiropractic care. \u00a0To learn more about the Foundation, please visit us on the web at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yes2chiropractic.com\/\">www.yes2chiropractic.com<\/a>\u00a0or call 866-901-F4CP (3427).<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas F.
