The Ft. Worth Star Telegram in a report found HERE notes that a doctor of chiropractic was able to get a star runner back on track after four years of failed medical physicians diagnostics and treatment.

Notes the article "Clint Renfro breaking the TCU record in the 400-meter hurdles last week was likely lost on most fans...His time of 50.82 seconds, the fastest of his life, broke Clayton Brookings' 1998 school record of 50.90 and gave Renfro a second-place finish. He currently ranks 17th in the nation in the 400 hurdles as he prepares for the first round of the NCAA Championships at the NCAA West Region Preliminary Round from Thursday through Saturday in Austin."

The victory was sweeter because it came after Clint's "struggling through four years of nagging, undetected injuries....A month before he was to start football two-a-days in August 2006, he suffered an inverted ankle sprain in his right foot during a high school all-star game. By the time practice rolled around in August, Renfro was ready to follow in his dad's [Mike Renfro] footsteps as a wide receiver...

"But the foot injury never fully healed and the rigors of football practice just made the pain worse. Renfro was caught in a horrible Catch-22: Either practice at 80 percent and never fully recuperate the ankle, or bail on football, which was three generations deep in his family. His grandfather, Ray Renfro, was an All-Pro for the Cleveland Browns for 12 seasons before serving five seasons as a Cowboys assistant under Tom Landry."

"I was an 18-year-old kid," said Clint Renfro, who was trying to navigate playing with pain....But the pain didn't go away and there was never a diagnosis of a broken bone. X-rays turned up nothing. Those first few months Renfro overcompensated for the foot injury, which started a chain reaction that went up his leg and caused other nagging injuries such as lower back pain and hamstring pulls."

"By November 2006 the pain had subsided a little and Renfro, who came to TCU to play football and run track, was able to compete in the spring track season, in which he won the Mountain West Conference title in the 400 hurdles."

"But the pain never really went away, and before the 2007 football season he was diagnosed with Achilles' tendinitis, which had likely been partly to blame for much of the pain all along. That sidelined him for the entire 2007 football season and the 2008 track season."

"When the tendinitis never seemed to heal, Renfro was convinced there was something else wrong.  "It became frustrating for all of us," said Mike Renfro, who understood the frustrations coming from the football coaches....He saw more than 10 doctors, including two Dallas Cowboys team physicians and the best specialist in North Texas.

"He has seen more doctors than Terrell Owens and Tony Romo put together, believe me," Mike Renfro said. "They saw swelling and bruising but the X-rays for a long time were clean."

"After missing the 2008 football season, Clint finally gave up on playing football at TCU. He missed the indoor track season in early 2009 as different injuries, all mostly related to his foot injury, sidelined him. He was able to compete in a few relays in the outdoor season a few months later, but his athletic career appeared to be winding down."

"That's when Mike Renfro ran into Fort Worth chiropractor Dale White. White asked about Clint, and Mike Renfro told him that no one had ever really figured out what was wrong with his foot. White told him to send Clint over to his office in River Oaks.  White noticed an uncommon and hard to find subluxation of two bones in Clint's foot, which basically meant the bones were slightly dislocated. The injury likely occurred during that all-star game in July 2006."

"'I saw him 15 times,' Clint Renfro said. 'It took a couple months, but he would get my foot and just crack it and manually manipulate it. The first time he did it I walked out of there, thinking, 'Wow, this feels so much better. This is unbelievable.'"

Said Clint's track coach "diagnosing the core injury was important because it helped explain all the other minor injuries that sprang up since -- the quadriceps pulls, the hamstring strains and the hip ailments."

"That injury has haunted him for the last four years," the coach said. "I know from a football standpoint, he couldn't get it healthy enough to keep going. And it was all related to that foot injury. I have a lot of respect for him and what he's been through and to just keep his foot on the gas and get through this thing."

"Although Renfro still has some pain, since White's diagnosis and treatment it has become bearable and allowed Renfro to work out and train harder than ever since coming to TCU. He graduated May 8 with a degree in communications and still has a year of athletic eligibility left."

Said Renfro's Coach "I think he has a great chance of (a) running faster and (b) making it out of the first round of the NCAA meet and getting to the NCAA finals.....He's got a lot of pedigree, so he was expecting big things from himself. And I know his followers in the area were expecting big things from him, and then when he wasn't able to produce and do the things that he was accustomed to doing at the level he wanted to do them at, I could see him having some emotional despair. I think that's normal, but he's been able to overcome all of that'."
