Emmitt Smith is the leading rusher in NFL history, a perennial Pro Bowler, and three time Super Bowl Champion. When he retired with over 18,000 yards, Smith said, “I thank God, my family, and my chiropractor.” Chiropractic care not only helped him heal quickly from injuries, but he also used chiropractic care as a part of his lifestyle and training regime to keep him functioning at the top of his game.
