Chiropractic Helps Tony Schumacher Recover After 320 MPH Crash

Tony Schumacher, professional NHRA racecar driver describes his experience with chiropractic. “It was amazing. It’s one of those things were I sat up and everything was gone, no pain, color was back in my face and I thought to myself: It’s like magic!”

Tony was involved in a horrific crash at over 300mph on October 7, 2000 in Memphis Tennessee. His left leg was broken in 7 places, 6 fingers were dislocated, and he had a very serious concussion. Surgery to his leg was performed by top orthopedic trauma surgeons at the Ortho Indy Center, a facility that specializes in the treatment of racecar drivers injuries.

After the surgery, Tony was left in a constant state of pain. He was plagued by debilitating headaches and dizziness. His medical doctors could not identify the cause of his pain. He was incapacitated. Until a friend suggested he see a chiropractor.

Dr. Marshall Dickholtz performed upper cervical specific chiropractic adjustments to Tony and after several adjustments; Tony began to feel like himself again and was on his road to recovery.
