What do Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods, Andy Roddick, and Lance Armstrong have in common? They are incredibly accomplished athletes that have used chiropractic care as a key ingredient to their success.
The fact is that more professional athletes use chiropractic than ever before. Even more revealing is the increased use of regular chiropractic care for entire professional teams. In fact, Chiropractic Economics reported that over 95% of teams in the NFL use chiropractors as a regular part of player care.
Some professional athletes pay personal chiropractors to give treatment before, during, or after a game. Barry Bonds, one of the best all time baseball players, has a personal chiropractor who travels to games. Bonds has incorporated chiropractic into his lifestyle. He reportedly said, "I think it should be mandatory to see a chiropractor and massage therapist."
Dr. Rose Soanes, D.C. is an experienced sports chiropractor and owner of Berrien Family Chiropractic in Niles, MI. Dr. Soanes has worked with hundreds of athletes in various sports. She said, "Professional athletes get three main benefits with chiropractic care. They are to prevent injury, manage injury, and to enhance physical performance."
Dr. Soanes said, "Perhaps the most exciting thing about chiropractic is the performance enhancing abilities it provides athletes." A study in 1991 in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation revealed that chiropractic care can increase athletic performance by as much as 16.7%! Another study in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research in 1997 revealed that chiropractic care increases an athletes capillary count. This means increased blood flow and more oxygen to the body.
Dr. Soanes strongly recommends both professional and amateur athletes look into chiropractic and how it can help them perform to their potential. Many chiropractors, like Dr. Soanes offer a free consultation to athletes interested in learning more about chiropractic.

Reduce Back Pain During Pregnancy
Pregnancy greatly increases a woman's vulnerability to back problems during and after birth. Did you know that at least half of pregnant women experience back pain during pregnancy? Some studies suggest that these numbers are even higher.
Many women simply accept back pain as an unavoidable trade off in the creation of new life. However, Dr. Mitchell Shea, D.C., of Shea Chiropractic says that pregnant women do not have to take back pain "lying down." Dr. Shea is an experienced chiropractor in Cookeville, TN who aims at increasing women's awareness of the relationship between back pain and pregnancy. He said, "Women who are more educated are more likely to seek care and reduce back pain."
Studies have proven that chiropractic care greatly reduces the amount of pain and discomfort throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. A study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 1991 revealed that 84% of patients who received spinal manipulative therapy (chiropractic care) reported a decrease in back pain while pregnant. Another study reported in the book "Chiropractic Pediatrician" showed that regular chiropractic adjustments reduced average labor times by an average of 33%.
Dr. Shea said, "Women who have regular chiropractic treatment and are properly instructed about ways to reduce pain have a much easier, smoother child bearing experience. Also, women who have significant back pain during pregnancy are more likely to experience a longer period of pain in subsequent pregnancies. That's why I really stress a preemptive approach, meaning get educated before your body begins to make its maternal changes."
Dr. Shea strongly suggests contact with a local chiropractor who can give valuable guidance and care. Some other things that can be done to reduce strain on the back are sleeping on your side, maintaining good posture, eating and exercising properly, using a pregnancy pillow or support belt, and many more.

Scoliosis Treatment Alternative to Scoliosis Surgery
A new scoliosis treatment, available at Victor Advanced Chiropractic, is changing the future of scoliosis. Studies prove that this new scoliosis treatment shows dramatic results comparatively to the "barbaric" method of surgery. Research includes very specific x-rays to determine if the scoliosis is correctible. Amazingly, 75% are correctible.
Until now patients have only had three options for the reduction and correction of scoliosis: to do nothing, bracing, and surgery. Doing nothing only makes matters worse, but bracing and scoliosis surgery are no better. Bracing outcomes are very poor and expensive, stabilizing the scoliosis at its current position, not correcting it. Studies have shown that patients felt that bracing handicapped their life and left a psychological scar.
Surgery includes implanting a Harrington rod for the correction of the disease. However, after many complications, including rusting and corrosion, bending, or breaking completely, proved that this method is ineffective. Some sufferers undergo surgery again to remove the rod. Every year thousands of post-surgery patients are legally defined as permanently disabled for the rest of their lives, and follow up x-rays in some cases reveal that their scoliosis returned to pre-operative levels.
"The new Mix, Fix, and Set routine is cutting edge", Dr. Robert Luckey said. He and Dr. Bill Ferris run Victor Advanced Chiropractic (www.victorac.com). The mix uses specific rehab for the soft tissues, the fix includes the spine adjusting and the set is to hold the position with further rehab. Exercise rehabilitation therapy is mandatory to reverse scoliosis, including vibratory stimulation. Envision a life free from the pain of scoliosis. A life free from physically and emotionally scarring treatments. Scoliosis affects 4.5% of the general population; almost 500 cases diagnosed each day, taking an average of 15 years reduction from each patient's life span.
Case studies show results seemed to reduce scoliosis curvatures in 19 subjects by an average of 17 degrees. This reduction took place within a 4 to 6-week period. The technique does not require any bracing or surgery. Furthermore, the new treatment costs less than bracing or surgery. The average corrective surgery costs $60-$120,000,00 while this new treatment averages $4-$6,000.00. Dr. Luckey and Dr. Ferris took intensive training at the CLEAR Institute to become certified and now practice the treatments at Victor Advanced Chiropractic in upstate New York. Chiropractors trained by CLEAR Institute are committed to achieving structural changes to the spine that will allow the body to de-rotate and correct itself. Victor Advanced Chiropractic (www.victorac.com) is the only certified place to find this new treatment in New York State, and in a two hundred and fifty mile radius.
The CLEAR Institute was founded in 2000, its intent is to providing advanced professional training to chiropractors and chiropractic students on all aspects of practice; diagnostic, treatment protocols, and management. CLEAR (Chiropractic Leadership, Education, Advancement, and Research) has a goal to guide chiropractors every step of the journey as they become true "spinal experts". Scoliosis is their most challenging spinal condition of all.
Dr. Ferris and Dr. Luckey urge pediatricians, mothers, and current scoliosis patients everywhere to research more information regarding this disease and the incredible benefits of this new treatment. Both doctors invite questions or concerns at their practice, Victor Advanced Chiropractic.

Lynch Chiropractic Adds Spinal Decompression
Lynch Chiropractic, of Salem, New Hampshire has added spinal decompression to its services.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment for the lumbar or cervical spine. It can also be used in the treatment of leg, neck or arm pain that works by reducing loading of the spine. Spinal decompression has evolved into a breakthrough treatment for herniated and degenerative spinal disc disease, one of the major causes of back pain. This non-surgical treatment for herniated and degenerative spinal disc disease heals the injured spinal segment by minimizing intradiscal strain. Chronic low back pain disability is the most expensive benign condition that is medically treated in industrial countries. It is also the number one cause of disability in persons under age 45.
Spinal decompression alleviates pain by increasing the capacity between the discs. This allows the disks to return to a normal position. It’s one of the one most effective treatments for severe cases of degeneration herniation, arthritis, stenosis and pressure on the spine. Spinal Decompression is a catalyst for healing because the therapy stimulates the cartildge to renew which it cannot do on its own because. The actually stimulates nutrient rich blood filling the disc space and evoking the healing response.
“Patients think that spinal decompression must hurt to work when the opposite is true. For spinal decompression to work, it must be virtually painless,” explains Dr. Lynch. “I see the patient for 20 to 30 minutes. Patients may need approximately 20 visits over a 6 to 8 week program to completely heal. Many are pain free in 6 to 8 visits, but the body is still healing. I have had patients complete the program while still working. This allows patients to be treated without the traditional down time of surgery and rehabilitation”
Spinal Decompression is ideal for people suffering from bulging or herniated discs, chronic back or neck pain, sciatica, disc degeneration who are looking for a non-surgical approach to regain their health back.

Chiropractic Marketing
According to survey results conducted by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), the percentage of chiropractors using computers in 1981 was just 8.1%. 13 years later that number jumped a whopping 73.8% with 81.9% of chiropractors reporting they use computers. According to one chiropractic marketing expert, we're on the verge of witnessing yet another massive shift in the behavior of chiropractors.
"Just like the use of computers skyrocketed with chiropractors and radically changed the way doctors ran and managed their offices, I believe we're seeing the beginning of the same magnitude of change with the way doctors are doing their chiropractic marketing," says Todd Brown, CEO and Founder of More Chiro Patients, Inc.
"Between the tremendous cost savings, ability to use video and audio, and the automation, I predict we're going to see more and more chiropractors move to the Internet for almost all of their chiropractic practice marketing."
Brown, a chiropractic marketing expert and the creator of the Chiropractic Dashboard - a comprehensive multi-media chiropractic marketing and practice-building system that uses technology to automate everything for doctors - refers to doctors who aren't yet using the Internet to grow their practice as "behind in the times as a doctor who isn't yet using a computer in his or her office".
"With over 1,000,000 million searches taking place every month on the Internet for keywords like 'chiropractor', 'chiropractic office', and 'chiropractic care', the doctors who are using the automated chiropractic marketing options the web now provides are going to be the ones experiencing the greatest practice growth", states Brown. "And, it's the whole reason we went ahead and created the Chiropractic Dashboard for doctors -- because it's the quickest way for chiropractors to tap into those online chiropractic marketing technologies."
