The BibRave Podcast Ep. 21: BibRave Sports Doc, Dr. Tim!

Our guest this week is co-owner of Physicians Plus Chicago and longtime BibRave friend, Dr. Tim Marando, Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) and Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.).

Dr. Tim and his co-owner/brother, Dr. Paul, are sports medicine docs with a practice largely focussed on runners, triathletes, and competitive fitness athletes (CrossFit, olympic weightlifting, etc.)

As chiropractor and naturopath, Dr. Tim utilizes various treatments such as spinal manipulation, Active Release Techniques(ART), Fascial Distortion Method (FDM), Graston Technique, Kinesio Taping, McKenzie Method, nutritional supplementation and dietary/lifestyle modification.

Dr. Tim and Dr. Paul were our sports docs in Chicago, and because we saw such amazing results from their treatment, we’ve referred literally dozens of people to their practice.
