Do Professional Athletes Use Chiropractic Care?

Martina Navratilova, Womens Tennis Champion. 
"A chiropractor was instrumental in putting my body back together.  Since then I have visited the chiropractor many times for a variety of problems and solutions.  As Americans become more aware of the need for preventive medicine, alternative therapies will play a bigger role in our lives.  After all, people like what works."  Martina's Column: Natural Health.  Conde Nast Women's Sports; March 1998:60-61.

Emmitt Smith, Football - Dallas Cowboys.
"I started doing this on a regular basis 4 or 5 years ago.  I believe what I'm doing is what's helping me go on.  I've become a big, big believer in servicing my body and making sure it is lined up properly and functioning the way it's supposed to on Sundays."
