NFL Team Chiropractor Discusses Clinical Teamwork

Many chiropractors would dream of being a pro sports team chiropractor and do it for many years. Working with athletes and team sports can enrich, challenge, and develop your growth as a practitioner. 

Not all of our practices are located in cities with pro sports teams, but that doesn't mean there aren't local universities, high schools, training facilities, and other non-traditional sports you could be a part of. 

Some chiropractors also express concern about their role in a scenario involving multiple healthcare practitioners and strength & conditioning professionals. 

In this episode, I interview Dr. Marcus McCray, the Indianapolis Colts team chiropractor for the past 11 years. He guides us through the process of how he became the team chiropractor, his role for the Colts, and how he has maintained longevity in his position. 

Some of the key aspects of our conversation are:

    • Know your role with the team.

    • Communicating effectively.

    • Not overstepping your bounds.

    • Being a team player.

    • It's about the player, not you.

    • About Dr. McCray's private practice.

    • The inner workings of a pro sports healthcare system.

If you haven't gained a local sports team position and desire to do so, this episode will help you achieve the insights in doing so, managing it, and sustaining longevity in that role.
