U.S. Olympic Speedskater to Serve as ACA Spokesperson

ARLINGTON, VA. - The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) will be officially sponsoring U.S. Olympic Speedskater Derek Parra, a two-time U.S. National All Around Champion, holder of three American records, and the reigning North American Champion, during the next year.

He is now the most dominant all-around speedskater in the United States, and has set his sights on completing his medal collection next February at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games.

As part of the sponsorship, Parra, a chiropractic advocate and patient, will wear ACA's official logo on his uniform and will help promote ACA and the chiropractic profession through media and public relations opportunities and personal appearances.

"I've always believed in chiropractic care," he said. "I've used a lot of other treatments for injuries and pain, but the problem doesn't get fixed until I go to achiropractor. I tell other athletes about chiropractic care, too."
