A new spokesperson has been named to help promote and educate the general public about chiropractic. On January 12, 2009 the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising public awareness of chiropractic, announced that Jerry Rice will be the spokesperson on behalf of chiropractic.
Rice, a future NFL Hall-of-Fame recipient, has three Super Bowl rings, holds 38 career records, and was a 13-time Pro Bowl football player. He spent the majority of his career playing for the San Francisco 49ers, though he played for both the Oakland Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks before retiring. He also showed his abilities off the field when he tackled the challenge of competing for the “Dancing with the Stars” trophy.
“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,” Rice says. “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.”
Jerry will testify to how chiropractic helped make him one of the most outstanding receivers in NFL history, how it has impacted his life during his retirement, and how it helped become a finalist on “Dancing with the Stars”.
Full page ads bearing Jerry Rice’s testimonials will be seen in the December 15 issue of ESPN Magazine, currently in the Jan/Feb issue of Woman’s Health, the January 14 issue of Sports Illustrated, the February issue of Men’s Fitness, and in the January 16-17 issue of USA today.
“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 consumer public, and remains an important part of his game plan for a healthy life.”
