Superstar Football Player
Depends on Chiropractic for Longevity
A pair of stories from the October 26, 2002 Dallas
Morning News and the October 28, 2002 Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, report how chiropractic care is helping
professional football players such as Emmitt Smith, play
longer with less injuries. The story notes that Smith is
only five foot nine inches and weighs only 212 pounds
but has missed only seven regular season games, and only
four on account of injury. Because of this longevity and
ability to remain relatively injury free Emmitt Smith
has become the National Football League's all-time
leader in yards rushing.
Early in his career Smith did not have the work ethic
that the team though he should have. He was also
suffering from a nagging hamstring injury. He then
decided to turn things around. He told the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, " After that season, I decided to invest
in me, to keep me going." He went on to say, "You can
have a Ferrari body, but your wheels need balancing. I
felt if I took care of my body, I could still function
when I got older."
Smith now believes so much in chiropractic that he asked
his chiropractor to relocate his practice closer to the
practice field. Presently Emmitt sees his chiropractor,
Dr. Rob Parker two or three times per week. His
chiropractor even flies with the team to take care of
Emmitt, and a number of other players right up till
game-time.
Emmitt Smith, a professional athlete who has first hand
knowledge of the benefits of chiropractic concluded by
saying, "Some of it may seem hokey to some people, but
if you traveled where I've traveled, done what I've done
and seen the results that I've been getting, then you'd
understand where I'm coming from."
