“Dr. Reed was one of four chiropractors on the U.S. sports medicine team. That alone would be a milestone achievement in any professional’s life. But Reed went to Beijing in another role as well, as Medical Director of the Performance Services Division of the United States Olympic Committee. He is the first chiropractor to hold such a position, at which he works year-round at the USOC Training Center in Colorado Springs."

EDITOR’S LOG
For Love of the Games
Of course, competitive athletics comprise only one part of the broader field of exercise and physical activity. In this issue, Dr. Ashley Cleveland continues her series on yoga, and Dr. Don Davis introduces our readers to tai chi. The popularity of these two ancient yet modern forms of exercise continues to grow by leaps and bounds. We also include the newest installment in our series on nutrition, this one focused on calcium, dairy and bone health. You may be surprised to see some long-held assumptions on bone health sharply challenged by recent research.
