Working on Jason Thomas at the Supercross
This weekend the AMA Supercross arrives in San Francisco. In the past I have had the chance to work with some world class riders at the Supercross and wow do they have a lot of injuries! All of the top riders have a personal chiropractor to help get them through the season.
You don’t have to be a pro to see your San Francisco Chiropractor, contact us if you are having back pain to see how we can help.
From the American Chiropractic Association:
“According to long-awaited results from a congressionally mandated pilot project testing the feasibility of expanding chiropractic services in the Medicare program, patients have a high rate of satisfaction with the care they receive from doctors of chiropractic.
When asked to rate their satisfaction on a 10-point scale, 87 percent of patients in the study gave their doctor of chiropractic a level of 8 or higher. What’s more, 56 percent of those patients rated their chiropractor with a perfect 10.”
That level of satisfaction is something I am sure proud of. This is not the first study to demonstrate the high satisfaction rates for chiropractic care. Call your San Francisco Chiropractor or Sonoma Chiropractor.
I know this post is a little bit out there but a study recently
peaked my interest and thought those with kids should know. At one time the ingestion of coins by children was considered innocuos. In 1997 21,000 children presented to the ER after ingesting coins, after choking risk had passed children were released and the coins were allowed to follow the normal course of the digestive tract and to eventually be expelled.
I don’t know what the ER’s current procedures are but it turns out that post 1982 pennies should be closely monitored as they can cause zinc mortality and ulceration of the stomach. Check out the study in the Journal of Radiology.
Fresh of the presses the Jan 2010 issue of the Journal of Clinical Rehabilitation is a study comparing chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy and back school. Supporting earlier positive studies the author’s concluded, “Spinal manipulation provided better short and long-term functional improvement, and more pain relief in the follow-up than either back school or individual physiotherapy”.
Combine this with more recent studies demonstrating the cost effectiveness of chiropractic care and you’ve got a winning combination. What are you waiting for? Call your San Francisco Chiropractor.
A study published in the July issue of Spine reaffirmed several earlier studies concluding, “Both orthopedic surgeons’ and family physicians’ knowledge of treating lower back pain is deficient”. When given a survey testing knowledge of simple lower back pain management orthopedists average score was 44.3 out of 100.
At our office we only recommend care based on evidence based guidelines. Given the above study’s conclusions you may want to consult your San Francisco Chiropractor before seeking the advice of a medical physician.
Jack LaLanne was really ahead of his time and still is. After graduating from chiropractic school he started a gym in Oakland to focus on preventative care. Check out this great article at American Profile. If you have any questions about how exercise can be used for health and wellness call your San Francisco Chiropractor.
