What do Evander Holyfield, the heavyweight champion of the world, John Smoltz, the 1996 Cy Young award winner, and Dan O’Brien, the 1996 Olympic Gold Medallist in the decathlon have in common? What do they share in common with Marla Maples Trump, who can afford the best the world has to offer, and James Earl Jones, the fine actor?
They have all been on the cover of Today’s Chiropractic Magazine sharing their excitement about the benefits of Chiropractic Wellness Care. Evander Holyfield stated in the December 1988 issue, “I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. Once I drove 20 miles to see a chiropractor before a fight. I have to have my adjustment before I get in the ring.”
Dan O’Brien said in the August 1996 issue, “you obviously can’t compete at your fullest if you’re not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic. I really think chiropractic is essential in running. If I could put a percentage on it, I think I compete eight to ten percent better from regular chiropractic use, if not more. It is essential for me and my training routine,” declared O’Brien.
Ten percent is a huge amount for an athlete, or anyone for that matter. For Dan O’Brien it was the difference between him winning the gold medal and not even making the team. A runner who runs a 10 second hundred meter dash may win an Olympic race, while an 11 second hundred wouldn’t even qualify for the team. In football, a 4.5 second 40 yard dash would make a fast running back, while a 5 second 40 yard dash would be average for a lineman. A baseball player batting .330 might win the batting title, while a player hitting .230 would get sent down to the minors.
Can you imagine if your entire life improved by ten percent? What if your energy, sleep, healing ability, and immune function were all improved by 10%? How about a 10% improvement in hormonal balance and digestion efficiency? If your entire body was functioning ten percent better it would make a huge difference. You would enjoy a much happier, healthier, energetic life!
What is it that the pros know about Chiropractic Wellness Care that most people don’t? Why do they receive Chiropractic Wellness Care to help them be their best and healthiest? The first answer is that these professionals know health is not just how you feel. For example, they know that you can feel perfectly fine, and still not be healthy.
