It's no secret that our health is integral to everything we do. Whether our health goals include weight loss, posture improvement, or healing from an injury, the basic principles of staying healthy and healing are the same for everyone. However, professional athletes prioritize health to perform at the top level, with their career being dependent on it. What can we learn from the daily habits of professional athletes to be the healthiest and most nimble version of ourselves?

We sat down with Dr. Benedict Nwachukwu, MD, MBA, an experienced NBA Player Association physician, orthopedic surgeon, Co-Founder of BICMD, and an Ametros Medical Advisory Council member to find out. Dr. Nwachukwu shares his experience as a team physician treating all NBA teams, professional soccer teams, and everyday patients. In this fascinating interview, we hear the parallels between treating professional athletes versus industrial athletes. Hint: There are more commonalities than you’d think. Learn what you can implement to maintain optimal health and insights on pain management and digital transformation in healthcare.
