On August 6, the benefits of chiropractic care were witnessed on national television. "CBS This Morning," with hosts Harry Smith and Paula Zahn, included a segment featuring the World Champion San Francisco 49ers.
A portion of Greg Gumbel's sports segment featured Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, and other members of the 49ers receiving chiropractic care from Nick Athens, D.C. of San Carlos, California. This was a historic event for our profession; we hope that other teams will follow the 49ers lead and turn to chirpractic care for their sports injuries.
"DC" regrets that our press schedule did not allow us to inform you of this program before it was aired.
