Professional baseball umpires are a tough job that requires them to make instant decisions while standing or crouching for long periods of time. In particular, home plate umpires must repeat hundreds of squats, which puts a lot of strain on their knees, hips, and backs. Base umpires also have to stand for long periods of time during a game and make sudden dashes and direction changes, which has a big impact on their legs and hips.

Chiropractic supports the umpire’s body by correcting skeletal distortions and reducing the strain on muscles and joints. In particular, relieving back and knee pain helps maintain stable performance over a long period of time.

Regular chiropractic care is important for professional baseball umpires to stay healthy and demonstrate high judgment.
