Arnold
Schwarzenegger was the headline
speaker at the 9th Annual Symposium
on Natural Fitness held March 2-4,
2001 in Columbus, Ohio, hosted by
the International Chiropractors
Association (ICA). A strong
supporter of chiropractic and a
chiropractic patient himself for
many years.
"Arnold" told the group of
chiropractors: "I depend on
chiropractic and so does my whole
family. . I have been making a movie
in Mexico and all of us on the set
saw the chiropractor to keep us
going. All of the crew,
electricians, stunt people, actors,
all of us, were adjusted regularly
by this great woman chiropractor who
worked around the clock to take care
of us all. That's what chiropractors
do, take care of people like no
other kind of healer."
Each year the ICA's Symposium on
Natural Fitness is held in
conjunction with the "Arnold
Classic" a bodybuilding and fitness
event. At this event athletes and
chiropractors from all over the
world get together to celebrate
health and fitness. Many of the top
competitors from these events follow
Arnolds lead by being regular
chiropractic patients.
Schwarzenegger, a chiropractic
patient himself for years, summed
his feelings for chiropractic up by
saying, "It is truly one of the few
professions that really helps people
in a straightforward way with no
monkey business, like some of the
other professions promise to help,
but this chiropractic is the real
thing."
