We see athletes of all types, from the weekend warrior to the professional, high end athlete. No matter the level, athletes are always looking for a competitive edge. So if I told you as an athlete there is a way you could train harder with less risk of injury, would you be interested?
As a mom of 3 young children I know what it is like to be very busy. I often find it hard to fit in a good chunk of time for exercise. Other moms and dads I know feel the same way. We are often an “all or nothing” society and feel we need at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in order to get a good workout in or it is not worth our time.
In the late 1980′s, I was in a car accident. I was a passenger in a vehicle that got broadsided by a driver who ran a stop sign. I had no idea at the time how that one incident would forever change my life. For the next year, I suffered terrible back pain and headaches every day. I had been to the doctor off and on and was given a number of pain killers and muscle relaxers. They didn’t help other than to dull the pain a bit. One day my doctor asked me what activities aggravated my condition, and when I told him, he said “Well stop doing them.” Guess what they were? Ordinary household tasks- vacuuming, lifting objects, cleaning floors, carrying grocery bags. Talking on the phone (which is what I did a great deal of my day at work), driving (also for work) and sitting at my desk for long periods. In other words, LIVING. That is not an option for a 30 something year old with a career and a household!
This month we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Health Care Clinic. Mostly it doesn’t seem possible that it has been that long. However, when I reflect on the many changes that have occurred with our staff and clinic, it only makes sense that it has been 20 years.
Imagine going to your chiropractor to get relief from your low back pain and finding your digestive problems improving as well. As a chiropractor for 20 years in a busy and thriving practice, I have seen literally thousands of patients’ health issues improve in areas unrelated to the pain they were seeking help for.
