Celebrity Chiropractic Patients

Over the many years that I have been involved in the Chiropractic profession I have noticed a large number of celebrities in the sporting field and entertainment field have utilized the services of chiropractors to keep their bodies in the best shape possible.

Jerry Rice, the great wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers has been an avid chiropractic patient since he began his professional football career in San Francisco. Many of the players from that team were patients of a Chiropractic Clinic owned by friend of mine in San Carlos, California. Players such as Roger Craig and Joe Montana also sought treatment at that same clinic.

Jerry Rice; however, has gone on to become a very vocal worldwide spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and the entire chiropractic profession. He has stated many times during and after his playing career, and also when he was involved with “Dancing With the Stars”, that chiropractic adjustments have kept him in good shape and competitive enough to play 20 years in the NFL.

Considering the attention that Jerry Rice has received throughout his career, on and off the field, he wants to share how to maximize health and wellness, whether you are a professional athlete, a weekend warrior or anywhere in between. He is quoted in “To Your Health” magazine as saying; “I’ve enjoyed considerable longevity as a professional athlete. I am now working on longevity in life. Chiropractic care has been and continues to be a key element of my game plan”. Another quote;”Optimal health has been a key to the success in my athletic career, my dancing experience and my ability to enjoy life to the fullest”. Go Jerry.

Some readers may recognize the name Aaron Rogers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. He has been getting chiropractic adjustments all his life. His father happens to be a chiropractor in Chico, California.

There have been many golfers who have relied on chiropractic to keep them healthy during their careers. Arnold Palmer would take his personal chiropractor on tour with him whenever he travelled overseas to play. When he played in the US he always checked to make sure there was a good chiropractor where he was going to be playing.

Many people in the entertainment industry use the services of chiropractors. My niece in Auckland, New Zealand was working in her office one day when she received a phone call from a gentleman that asked if she made house calls. In this particular case, a “hotel room” call. When she arrived she was introduced to Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. He had hurt his back and needed some chiropractic care to continue with the upcoming concerts.

Over the years, there have been hundreds, if not thousands of well known people and celebrities that have turned to chiropractic to keep them in shape and competitive. For the past 50 years or more a majority of the Olympic Games teams from most of the participating countries have utilized Chiropractors in some way to maximize the potential of their athletes.

Another sport that utilizes Chiropractors is professional bull riding and all aspects of the Rodeo. Wrangler jeans is a major sponsor for professional rodeo and they maintain a large team of volunteer Chiropractors called ”Wrangler Doctors”, across the United States and Canada that are present at any and all Rodeos sponsored by Wrangler.

I wish I had more space to expand on this subject. Maybe I will write about more celebrities at a later date.

I guess my point is that everyone can benefit from chiropractic adjustments, so if you feel aches and pains and stiffness, give my office a call at 661 823 8888 and come in for a free consultation.
