Hey everyone, Dr. Block & Dr. Donner here welcoming you to 'Fall' 2013. Hope our newsletter finds you and your family well. As we move into cooler weather, we do so with excitement as we find ourselves helping people get well who have tried other methods with not much success. Dr. Donner is currently finishing up scheduling her workshops for 2013, lectures and custom tailored speaking engagements which have always been and will remain free. If your company, civic group, or worship group would like Dr. Donner to offer one of her health presentations, please contact her at 436-5428 to schedule one. A hot topic which she is promoting this year is "Stretch Yourself to Better Health." It is fun, interactive and informative and guaranteed to make you feel better. Remember that we are open 6 days a week and are here most days until 7 pm. We are also happy to announce that we have lunch time appointments available on Mondays and Fridays. Many new insurance changes will take place in 2013, so feel free to contact Erin or Susan with any questions as well as which choices would be best for you. If you have not been in for a while due to "Economic issues" please contact one of us as we do not want your health to suffer due to money. Give us a chance to see what we can do to lend you a hand. Looking forward to serving your family's health needs in 2013 !!!
p.s. If the school nurse or sports coach has suspected scoliosis in your child, or they are participating in soccer, baseball, gymnastics or dance, contact us right away so that we may offer you some options that may help while your child develops and may help them excel in their sport. Early intervention and prevention can lead to elimination of life long problems.
P.S.S Fall allergies got you stuffy and sneezing? We can offer you some easy to implement advice on your next visit that will make the season a whole lot easier for you
Famous Athletes Who Use Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic treatment is commonly prescribed to treat neuromusculoskeletal problems including neck pain, back pain, pain in arm or leg joints, and headaches. Chiropractors take a hands-on approach to treatment that is free of drugs and invasive procedures. They examine, diagnose, and treat people from all walks of life including individuals who have achieved notoriety. Many famous athletes have benefitted from chiropractic care that treats injuries and other conditions.How Some Athletes Feel About Chiropractic Care
Spinal manipulation, sometimes called chiropractic adjustment, is the most common therapeutic procedure performed by a chiropractor. Controlled force is manually applied to joints whose movement has been restricted due to a tissue injury. A single trauma or repetitive stresses can cause this injury and manipulation intends to restore mobility to affected joints.
An Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon, Dan O'Brien believes that chiropractic treatment is "absolutely essential" to the sport of track and field. He recommends alignment for healing and competing at full potential. Former Dallas Cowboys running back, big game champion, and MVP Emmitt Smith used chiropractic treatment throughout his football career to balance his body and ensure that it functioned properly. Fellow champion football player Jerry Rice called chiropractic the "key" to helping him remain in the game.
Former professional bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger used chiropractic to prevent injuries during his athletic career. Before heading into the boxing ring, four-time Heavy Weight World Champion Evander Holyfield had a chiropractic adjustment. To improve his athletic performance, he visited a chiropractor three times a week. Major League Baseball outfielder and first baseman Johnny Damon stated that chiropractic helps him play consistently throughout the baseball season.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care Extend to Cycling and Golf
It may not be surprising to learn that chiropractic benefits runners, boxers, weight lifters, and football and baseball players. These sports are known for their strenuous activities. However, cycling and golf are also demanding on the body, particularly when competing at the professional level. Former professional cyclist and Tour de France veteran Lance Armstrong considered a chiropractor one of the most important men on his team.
Tiger Woods has won many competitions during his golf career including 14 PGA championships. He believes that chiropractic treatment and lifting weights have made him a better athlete. Woods called regular chiropractic treatments are as important to his training process as is practicing his swing. If these athletes benefit from chiropractic therapy, so can the average person.
