Celebrities and Athletes from around the world have received benefits from chiropractic treatment. Here are a few testimonials from them.
Entertainers
"There is really no better profession than chiropractic.
You really helped me…. I depend on chiropractic and so does
my whole family. I found it was better to go to the chiropractor
before you get injured. Chiropractic is truly one of the few
professions that really helps people in a straightforward way
with no monkey business, like some of the other professions
promise to help, but this chiropractic is the real thing. That's
what chiropractors do, take care of people like no other kind
of healer."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Actor, Bodybuilder,
Governor of California
"I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot]
shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within
15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles
to South Carolina — spend a week and work on the entire crew.
The guy's amazing.”
Mel Gibson, Actor
''Thank God I have a great chiropractor,'' she says. ''I wish
I'd never introduced him to Madonna and Janet and Tina (Turner).
Now I have to share him.''
Cher, Singer
"Medical doctors can be helpful for some things, but generally
when it comes to dance injuries, they don't really have a therapy
program for you where they actually fix anything." "Chiropractors
are great for dancers because they work on you - you can see
the results. Chiropractic is a more personal kind of treatment,
more immediate."
Heather Watts, prima ballerina
"Chiropractors are the only ones (health care practitioners)
who totally understand what we are talking about." "Dr.
Palmer was ahead of his time (and) chiropractors have been ahead
of the field and have a great background for understanding these
concepts as a whole. Into the next decade they should be taking
the lead."
Deepak Chopra
Athletes
A research study conducted by Drs. Anthony Lauro and Brian Mouch, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation, 1991, indicated Chiropractic care might improve athletic performance by as much as 16.7% over a 2-week period. The report also concluded that subluxation-free athletes react faster, coordinate better, execute fine movements with improved accuracy and precision, amounting to an overall better athlete.
"Chiropractic helps athletes and people working out,
engaging in a sport or even just performing daily functions
such as walking and sitting, to operate at their peak levels
of performance without pain. I highly recommend that you pay
a visit to your local Chiropractor."
Dr. Joyce Vedral, Fitness Expert
"I've found that it's a great stress reliever to get
adjusted. It takes away a lot of the tightness in the muscles,
and when calcium deposits form in the neck and lower back, adjustments
seem to disperse the deposits."
Jose Canseco, Boston Red Sox
"I didn't know how much I could improve until I started
seeing a Chiropractor. Since I've been in Chiropractic, I've
improved by leaps and bounds, both mentally and physically."
Gerald Wilkins, NY Knicks
"I have to have an adjustment before I go into
the ring ... I believe in Chiropractic. The majority of boxers
go to get that extra edge."
Evander Holyfield
"I've been seeing a Chiropractor and he's really been
helping me out a lot. Chiropractic's been a big part of my game."
Joe Montana and 35 of his teammates received
Chiropractic care right before the 1990 Super Bowl Game.
"Being a Chiropractic patient has really helped me a
lot. When I was in a growth spurt, my back became very sore
and I was weak. My Chiropractor really helped me. Not only did
he adjust my spine, he also gave me strengthening exercises
to do. If you are tall and gangly, like I am, or play sports,
I would recommend Chiropractic."
Tiger Woods
"If not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold
medal! It is essential to me in my training routine. You obviously
can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. Every
track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a Chiropractor
at one time or another".
Dan O'Brien, Decathlon
