The Role of Chiropractic in Strength Sports: With Jackie Osczevski & Dr. Todd McDougle
In this episode of the ICA Sports & Fitness Science Council Podcast, Dr. Brant Hulsebus sits down with two leaders in the world of strength athletics and sports-specific chiropractic: ICA Chairman Dr. Todd McDougle and elite Canadian strongwoman Jackie Osczevski. Together, they break down what truly separates standard chiropractic care from the advanced, tension-focused techniques required for top strength athletes.
Jackie shares her personal journey in Strongwoman, including her podium finishes at Canada’s Strongest Woman, The Shaw Classic, and World’s Strongest Woman. She explains how Dr. McDougle’s chiropractic methods immediately improved her squat depth, mobility, and performance after years of searching for the right practitioner.
Dr. McDougle dives into the science behind his approach — including short-lever, high-velocity, closed-pack adjustments designed to maintain neuromuscular recruitment and power output. He explains how this technique allows athletes to train the same day they’re adjusted, a requirement at the elite level.
Dr. Hulsebus expands on how these principles apply not just to strongman competitors but also to hockey players, college athletes, and even everyday patients who depend on proper function for quality of life.
Whether you’re a chiropractor, athlete, or strength coach, this episode reveals the critical role chiropractic plays in performance, injury prevention, and long-term success in strength sports.
