Athletes
From Lance Armstrong to Tiger Woods to Dara Torres, elite athletes are under chiropractic care for optimal performance, and often, have a Doctor of Chiropractic leading their health and wellness team.
Want to know more about how chiropractic helps athletes be at their best as well as treat and prevent injuries? Come and experience it for yourself with an exam and consultation from an established elite athlete turned doctor, Bob Cummins. As a member of the rowing community he became a World Champion in the US Men’s eight in 1997, and the same year won a national collegiate title with the University of Washington. Later he helped support his wife, Anna Cummins, who won Olympic gold at the 2008 Beijing Games. Dr. Cummins graduated Suma Cum Laude from internationally recognized Life Chiropractic College West and practiced under world renowned Dr. David Rowe (fitting, isn’t it?) in Manhattan, NY. Dr. Cummins then chose Bellevue, WA to open Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness.
Dr. Cummins’ passion is for each and every person in his community to have optimal health and performance. He realizes this dream by giving his patients unparalleled attention to their specific body, needs, and goals. A visit to Dr. Cummins’ office will result in a health program built just for you.
What does an athletic work-up with Dr. Cummins entail? It depends on what is best for each athlete. Common components include:
- A comprehensive exam
- Complete strength and range of motion evaluation
- X-Rays if necessary
- Personal spinal exercise plan
- Postural analysis
- A consultation to review your options for care
GOLD MEDAL HEALTH IS...
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION,
KEEPING YOU INJURY FREE. If you have any questions or need help, Dr. Cummins and the rowing friendly staff at Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness will be happy to see if chiropractic can help you.
Athlete Testimonials
“I come see Dr. Cummins for a couple of reasons, primarily because Bob is a well trained medical professional, and secondly because Bob and Anna are "World Class" athletes that know how to communicate with and care for performance athletes. Dr. Cummins was able to help give me immediate relief for my sore back whenever I have had the need. I have already recommended several athletes to Dr. Cummins clinic. I appreciate Dr. Cummins positive approach to recovery medicine.” - BOB ERNST, CURRENT UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON WOMEN’S ROWING HEAD COACH
“I was a total skeptic of chiropractic care after Athens. Then, my back really flared up and my massage therapist had me give it a try. I didn’t know how it worked, but it got me back on the water fast. Leading up to my gold medal performance in Beijing, my back was doing great, but I kept with maintenance chiropractic care to make sure I was always performing at my best. It wasn’t about staying healthy, for me it was all about being at my best. If not, I knew someone could take my seat.” - ANNA CUMMINS, 2008 OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST
“I came in to see Dr. Cummins as a very competitive rower, but my back pain was preventing me from rowing. I was very skeptical that I would be back in the boat anytime soon. Less than two weeks later, I was healthy enough to row again. Since then, I won the regional championship in both the varsity eight and the varsity four. I have been pain free for over a month, I feel better now than I ever have, and I have Dr. Cummins to thank for that.” - DAN RINKER, GREEN LAKE V8+ 2009 REGIONAL CHAMPION
