Fine-Tuning Super Bowl Athletes

Super Bowl 50 was, at the time, one of the biggest sporting events in history. Players from both teams, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, prepared their minds and bodies for the most important event of their careers. Many of them received chiropractic care before and after the game to help them heal quickly and optimize the health of their spine and nervous system. This care helped the athletes perform at their highest level in the biggest game of their lives. In fact, players from both teams and nearly every professional sports team today are continuing to utilize chiropractic care to get the competitive edge. Chiropractic care has been fine-tuning Super Bowl athletes and other athletes for decades.

Chiropractic Advocates

Current Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice, the greatest players ever at their positions, are huge chiropractic advocates. Emmitt Smith is the leading rusher in NFL history, a perennial Pro Bowler, and three time Super Bowl Champion. When he retired with over 18,000 yards, Smith said, “I thank God, my family, and my chiropractor.” Chiropractic care not only helped him heal quickly from injuries, but he also used chiropractic care as a part of his lifestyle and training regime to keep him functioning at the top of his game.

Jerry Rice is considered the greatest receiver in the history of the NFL. His durability and work ethic is legendary. He initially sought chiropractic care because of a crisis after being injured on the field. After learning about the benefits of Chiropractic Lifestyle Care from his teammates he made chiropractic care a regular part of his training routine and lifestyle. He is a three time Super Bowl Champion and today he is an official spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

Early Care Setting Records

Another chiropractic advocate, 2012 Hall of Fame Semi-finalist Roger Craig, was a pioneer in the NFL. He is the only player to ever make the Pro Bowl as a fullback and a halfback, the first player to rush and receive for over 1,000 yards in a single season – a feat that took 14 years to be duplicated. And he is the only running back in NFL history to ever lead the league in receptions. He is a three time Super Bowl Champion and is the only NFL player to make the playoffs for eleven straight years.

Like many children, Roger began receiving chiropractic care at an early age. Today, like the others, still receives chiropractic Lifestyle Care. In fact, Roger endorsed the #1 bestselling fitness book, The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout.  He recommends it for athletes, young and old, because it stresses the importance of a healthy structure, spine, and nervous system with chiropractic care as a core part of the training. This balanced fitness plan teaches athletes to Get Your ESS in Shape™ – Endurance, Strength and Structure. Doing so helps you maximize your performance, prevent injuries, and support your longevity.

These three athletes are stellar examples, but not the only ones who are chiropractic advocates. It bears repeating that chiropractic care has been fine-tuning Super Bowl athletes and other athletes for decades.

Lifestyle

All three of these athletes took a tremendous beating over their careers which began in Little League and continued into the pros. Chiropractic care as a part of their lifestyle, training, and overcoming injuries has helped show us all that you can play high level sports and retain your health after you retire. We may even see you competing on Dancing With the Stars!

We’ve all seen videos of old time professional athletes who pounded their bodies into submission and became cripples when their career was over. This is not true for these three athletic superstars. Nor is it the norm as many professional, Olympic, and youth sports programs have chosen to make chiropractic care a core part of their programs. Today, many of the leaders of the Olympic sports medicine team  are chiropractors.
