Football player that are professionals, like Emmitt Smith, can play longer with fewer injuries with the assistance of chiropractic care. The story mentions that Smith, at 5'9" and 122 pounds, has only missed seven regular season games, and only four of those were due to injury. Emmitt Smith is the NFL's all-time leader in yards rushing, which he attributes to his longevity and ability to avoid injury.

Smith did not possess the work ethic in the start of his career that it was thought he should have by the team. A hamstring injury that was nagging, kept him suffering. Then he decided to make a change in his life. He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that following that season, he decided to make an investment in himself to keep his body healthy. He continued, "You can have a Ferrari body, but your wheels need balancing. I felt if I took care of my body, I could still function well when I got older."

Now Smith has so much confidence in chiropractic that he requested that his chiropractor move his practice to a location more convenient to the practice field. Currently, Emmitt visits his chiropractor,  twice or even three times weekly. His chiropractor even accompanies the team when they travel in order to care for Emmitt, as well as several other players, right up until the game begins.

Emmitt Smith, who is a professional athlete who has personally benefited from chiropractic care, ended by stating, "Some of it may seem hokey to some people, but if you had traveled where I've traveled, done what I've done and seen the results that I've been getting, then you'd understand where I'm coming from."
