Chiropractic Helped U.S. Olympic Medal Count

A chiropractor who also was coach of the U.S. Olympic men's water polo team helped the group to win the silver medal in Beijing, in a match against Hungary, by providing members with daily chiropractic adjustments.

"I can honestly say that without chiropractic, many Olympic athletes would not be able to perform to their potential," said Merrill Moses, the team's goalkeeper. "We take such a pounding on our bodies, especially in water polo, because it's a contact sport. I like to get a chiropractic adjustment every day just to keep my body healthy."

Even a Little Exercise Confers Benefits

Your life can be changed - and extended - by just a little regular exercise, according to a report by a blue-ribbon U.S. panel.

A commission empaneled by the federal Department of Health and Human Services says your most important exercise paraphernalia are your legs. The panel declares that a moderately paced half-hour walk five days a week will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other disorders. And the benefit will be conferred even if you're overweight or obese - and regardless of your age, race or gender. (Read more about Even a Little Exercise Confers Benefits)

High Impact Means High Bone Density for Children

High impact activities like jumping and skipping has been shown to benefit bone health in adolescents. A ten minute school based intervention, provided twice a week for eight months, greatly improved bone and muscle strength in healthy teenagers when compared to regular warmups. Physiotherapist Ben Weeks said the warm-up, which included high intensity jumps and lunges of gradually increasing complexity and repetition, was specifically designed to stimulate skeletal growth. By the end of the study, students worked up to about 300 jumps per session. (Read more about High Impact Means High Bone Density for Children)

Speed Ball

Are you in beach body shape yet?

Well, if not, there is a new type of exercise that might do the trick!

It’s called Speedball.

Amy is a Speedball fanatic. “I used to wear a heart rate monitor, I think you burn about six or seven hundred calories for the hour. The endurance level that is required to take this class is through the roof,” she says.

Speedball is a cardiovascular and muscular endurance class—both aerobic and anaerobic exercise--using the medicine ball as an athletic resistance tool.

Jill Lavorgna, also a Speedball lover, says, “It gives me the best cardiovascular and strength workout because it does a lot of lateral movements, it really works every muscle in my body and it is constant motion, so I really feel like I am getting a complete body workout.” (Read more about Speed Ball)

Call (888) 834-8517

If you're an athletic person who is suffering from a damaged cartilage, also known as meniscus, in the knee area, then simply waiting for your condition to heal on its own just won't cut it. The reason for this is that the meniscus doesn't hold any blood supply, meaning that, unlike every other part of the body, it doesn't naturally heal when damaged. As a consequence, mobility can grow to become difficult and the possibility of resuming athletic activities can become unlikely. That is why it is so essential to undergo quality Meniscal repair from a knee specialist whom you can trust to correct your condition successfully. Dr. Howard J. Luks, MD at University Orthopaedics, PC in Westchester, New York is just the candidate to turn to.
