Jerry Rice Tackles Chiropractic Care

CARMICHAEL, CA--(Marketwire - January 22, 2009) - The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, a not for profit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness of chiropractic, announced today that future NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice has agreed to serve as its spokesperson. Rice, a 13-time Pro Bowl football player who owns 38 career records and three Super Bowl rings, will share his positive experiences with chiropractic care

"Chiropractic care has been instrumental in my life, both on and off the field, and I am excited to share this with the American public," says Rice. "I have been blessed with a long and healthy career as a professional athlete, and as I move forward into the next stage of my life, chiropractic care will continue to be an important part of my game plan."

Throughout 2009, Rice will relate how chiropractic helped him to become the most durable and feared wide receiver in the history of football. He will also articulate the value of chiropractic during his retirement and ways in which it impacted his ability to become a finalist in a physically demanding and widely popular television show "Dancing with the Stars."

A graduate of Mississippi Valley State College, Rice was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1985 where he won three Super Bowl Championships during his 16-year career there. He enjoyed three seasons with the Oakland Raiders, including a Super Bowl appearance and one season with the Seattle Seahawks before retiring in 2005. At his retirement, Rice held career records for receptions (1547), receiving yards (22,895), touchdowns (208) and receiving touchdowns (197) during the regular season; and post-season records for receiving yards (1,848) and receiving touchdowns (22). Rice was rookie of the year for the 1985 season, most valuable player for 1987, Super Bowl most valuable player in 1989, and NFL Player of the Year for 1990 and 1997. He helped the 49ers win three Super Bowls (1989-90,1995).

"Jerry Rice understands what it takes to maintain a healthy body," says Kent S. Greenawalt, president of the Foundation. "His personal message of how chiropractic played an important role in his ability to maintain a long and successful carrier in football will be well received by the American public, and remains an important part of his game plan for a healthy life."

I first saw Dr. David Foti 13 years ago. I had been in a car accident and as a result had chronic back problems. I was wearing a back brace to work every day because of the back pain. I also have heel spurs and was looking at foot surgery. The doctor I was seeing would not guarantee that the spurs would not return. I was having trouble walking and as an elementary teacher was on my feet all day. A friend mentioned chiropractic and another person recommended Dr. Foti. At first Dr. Foti saw me frequently but then gradually lessened . My foot pain was eliminated. I no longer wear a back brace and I can truly say that I have not had a back pain episode in years. I continue to see Dr. Foti once a month and credit his care with my physical mobility and lack of pain.

Before I started coming to Foti Chiropractic, I had constant pain in my upper back. Even though I had learned to deal with the pain, it was still very uncomfortable especially since I have to sit in a chair mostly all day at work. Since I’ve been getting therapy and adjustments at Foti Chiropractic, I have noticed a huge difference in how much and how often my back hurts. The adjustments have made a positive difference in my life and let me work out and go through my daily activities with a lot less pain. For anyone that is hesitant in going to the chiropractor, I would say that if your back pain is to the point where you complain about it on a consistent basis like I was, there is no point in living your life like that when there are highly qualified and very educated doctors (such as the ones at fotichiro!) that are here to help and genuinely care about your well being. Everyone at Foti Chiropractic is so welcoming and nice that it is definitely a highlight of my day when I have an appointment.

Before I decided to go to Foti Chiropractic, I was getting used to the discomfort in my upper and lower back. I though it was just something I was going to have to live with. Ever since visiting Foti chiropractic for adjustments my back has never felt better. Foti Chiropractic is more than just getting adjustments though. I’ve learned how important it is to maintain a healthy spine and how it affects your entire body and health. Foti Chiropractic promotes a healthy lifestyle and the doctors at Foti Chiropractic have told me how to do that, from explaining what "kefir" is to the importance of a multivitamin in your diet. A couple people have asked me about my chiropractic experience with Foti Chiropractic and I tell them I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
