Cleveland Browns’ Denzel Ward’s husband, wife chiropractic duo on working with athletes on recovery

Professional athletes regularly endure grueling training programs and strenuous activity both during the NFL season and in the off season.

While recovery for professional athletes is much different than that of a day-to-day gym goer, stretching, warm-ups and cool downs are often beneficial to anyone who lifts weights or exercises regularly.

Dr. Mary Teague and Dr. Chad Teague are husband and wife chiropractic physicians based in Cleveland who assist professional athletes, including Cleveland Browns’ cornerback Denzel Ward, in preparing for game day, recovering more quickly after fatiguing training and injuries.

“Denzel has been a great patient for us to work with,” Chad told Fox News Digital. “He’s a lot of fun and trying to do as much as we can to prevent concussions, and then just bulletproof his body so he can be on the field and available as much as possible.”

Mary and Chad are co-founders of Code Chiro. The couple have worked with a number of well-known professional athletes in years past including David Njoku, a tight end for the Browns, and Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry when they were part of the Cleveland-based NFL team.

“We’ve been blessed with being able to work with amazing people,” Chad said.

Chad said he works with Ward a couple times throughout the week.

“Then we’ll do pregame warm up routines, just to kind of get his body prepped, and do some brain cognitive function drills to wake up his nervous system and his brain with catching and reactivity,” Chad said.

“He’s very proactive. He’s one of those very proactive athletes, that’s for sure,” Mary added.

SAUNAS HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS, BUT OVERUSE IS LINKED TO DANGEROUS HEALTH RISKS

When it comes to treatments for professional athletes, each is different, and sometimes does not even take place between the walls of Code Chiro.

Over the last few years, Chad spent a lot of time traveling alongside professional athletes and providing treatment on the road.

“I traveled a lot the past couple years, and especially last year, with athletes, and I’m trying to taper that back and try to focus those athletes to be here in Cleveland, so I don’t have to travel as much, which has been hard,” Chad said.

“I would say my main goal is to have them here and incorporate a routine where we’re doing recovery, kind of be the general manager of everything performance,” Chad explained. “So I work directly with their dietitian, I work directly with the team staff, the athletic trainers, the chef.”

There are many moving parts to an athlete’s overall health. Working in tandem with various professionals allows the duo to maintain a “cohesiveness” strategy to the athlete’s overall health and fitness regimen.

Professional athletes have sessions with Mary and Chad regularly, sometimes even daily in the case of an injury.

“If they have an injury, especially in season, I would say almost every day,” Mary said of athlete’s treatment plans.

On average, Chad explained that while treatment schedules vary, two to three times a week is normal. However, the recovery and treatment plans depend both on the athlete and the sport they play.

WORKOUT AND DIET TIPS TO GAIN MUSCLE AND LOSE FAT

“You’re going to have more contusion based injuries or impact injuries with football,” Chad said. “You still get that with basketball and some other sports, but you’re going to get a lot more impact in football. So a lot more lymphatic work in football, neck strengthening, more exercises to prevent concussion or delay or kind of decrease the impact when they’re hitting head to head.”

Chad added that basketball players experience more tendon-based injuries, which include tendinopathie, knee tendon and Achilles tendon issues.

“That’s the biggest difference is tendinopathies versus impact injuries in football,” Chad said.

Mary added that reactive versus proactive care is sport-specific.

Code Chiro operates under the tagline, “movement cures” and movement is at the center of care.

“Our biggest push and education portion of our practice is trying to get people to go from whatever they’re doing to improving their movement and biomechanics so they can improve whatever their sport or life goal is, and everything is movement based,” Chad said.

“If it’s an injury, or you’re just trying to get back into fitness or a healthy lifestyle, movement is so crucial to getting the blood flowing and just increasing your overall lifestyle,” he continued.

Though Mary and Chad are chiropractors, they are gym-goers themselves, parents and believe in movement encouragement for all patients.

“I would say we’re more, not even movement coaches, but performance coaches and musculoskeletal specialists,” Mary said. “I will say, a lot of people think of a chiropractor as the traditional cracking, the crack aspect of things, and don’t get me wrong, it’s really helpful, and the adjustment is a very key component about what we do here. However, we focus a little bit more on movement mechanics, the way your body moves, the dysfunction that you are going through every day.”

She added that ninety percent of Code Chiro’s patients are active exercisers and want to maintain their workflow at the gym without stopping or experiencing pain.

“That’s what I would say chiropractic is moving towards, and it’s really good,” Mary concluded.

Ilhan Omar doesn’t have any regrets for her ‘unavoidable’ outburst at State of the Union

Ilhan Omar doesn’t have any regrets for her ‘unavoidable’ outburst at State of the Union

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., spoke candidly on Wednesday, defending her outbursts during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

Omar, along with colleague Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who was seated next to her, appeared on video repeatedly interrupting and gesturing toward Trump several times throughout his speech.

Omar appeared to shout “You are a murderer” and “You’re a liar.”

When appearing on CNN, Omar was pressed by host Wolf Blitzer, who noted that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., asked members of his caucus to either sit in silence or to not attend at all.

“Should you have just boycotted the address? And do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader?” he asked.

“No, I think it was really unavoidable. The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents,” Omar responded.

“Do you have any regrets at all about the interaction we played between you and President Trump just last night?” Blitzer asked.

“I do not, and I think many people look at that moment when the president says, ‘It is our responsibility to protect Americans,’ and he does not acknowledge the fact that two Americans, two of my constituents, two of our neighbors, were killed,” she said. “And it was important for me to just remind the American people that the president and his administration was responsible for killing two American citizens.”

Blitzer proceeded to ask, with hindsight in mind, whether she still thinks she made the right choice by showing up.

“I brought four Minnesotans up as guests for the Minnesota delegation. It was important for us to be there, to bear witness, to hold space for our constituents that have lived through an occupation from federal law enforcement, that have been terrorized, that have seen our neighbors been killed and traumatized in so many ways and, so, no. I think it was really important for my constituents to see me there,” she said.

“It was really important to my constituents to hear that. I was reminding the president that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed under this administration.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

It responded with a Truth Social post from Trump in which he called for critics like Omar and Tlaib to be put on a boat and “send them back from where they came.”

Rex Satterfield’s 1956 Bel Air takes 2026 Ridler Award in Detroit

Rex Satterfield’s 1956 Bel Air takes 2026 Ridler Award in Detroit

Rex Satterfield hoped to see his 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible snag one of the BASF Great 8 finalist spots at this year’s Detroit Autorama. But winning the Ridler Award — one of the highest honors in the custom car business — was something he didn’t foresee.

“It’s just overwhelming right now,” said the man from Russellville, Tennessee, as he left a ballroom at downtown’s Huntington Place and made his way back to the show floor on Sunday, March 1. “We weren’t expecting this.”

Getting a car recognized as one of the BASF Great 8 vehicles is a win in and of itself as they are considered the “absolute pinnacle of custom automotive craftsmanship worldwide,” according to the show. The cars undergo an intensive judging process.

And this effort had an unexpected and emotional complication with the passing in December 2024 of the original builder, Jeff Wolfenbarger, who was battling cancer even as he continued working on the car named “Elegant Lady.”

Kevin Riffey of Kevin Riffey’s Hot Rods and Restorations in Knoxville stepped in to finish the work Wolfenbarger started. He’d had two other cars in the past make the Great 8. He said the goal with this vehicle was straightforward, calling it a “purpose-built show car.”

From its prominent spot at the front of the show floor, “Elegant Lady” sported a creamy exterior, dubbed Light Coffee. The car carries a 1,000 horsepower Don Hardy race engine. The gauges, wheels and gas tank are custom, and the dash is from a 1956 Pontiac.

Satterfield plans to show the car around some and enjoy the moment with it. He said he’s been a car guy since he was a little kid.

The Ridler Award, named in honor of Detroit Autorama’s first publicist, Don Ridler, comes with a $10,000 prize. It was awarded on the final day of this year’s Detroit Autorama, which ran Friday, Feb. 27-Sunday, March 1. This was the event’s 73rd year.
