doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest
his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the
cause and prevention of disease."

CURRENT
EVENTS
-
CA Board of Chiropractic Examiners'
CPR requirement for
doctors of chiropractic to complete training and maintain
current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or
basic life support (BLS) as a condition to renew a license to
practice has been repealed by the state Board of Chiropractic
Examiners. This repeal is effective beginning with chiropractic
licenses that expire in May 2007.
-
The CA
Legislature has introduced two bills, AB 1137 by Assembly Member
Mike Eng, and SB 801 by Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas, that contain
language that would open up the 1922 Chiropractic Initiative
Act. At this time CCA is opposed to these measures. The primary
issue on which we are unbending, of course, is allowing future
Legislatures unlimited authority to amend the Act. Go to
www.calchiro.org for
the latest news.

The effect of Workers' Comp treatment benefits cut to
24-visits for chiropractic + physiotherapy care continues to show
up at the work place,
resulting in less or no work performance. Continue to tell your congressmen
your story to point out to them that real people are being hurt
with limited care!
ANATOMY OF PAIN
The dictionary
defines pain: “a sensation of hurting … in some part of the
body, caused by an injury, disease or functional disorder, and
transmitted through the nervous system.”
When we ignore
dysfunction,
pain, and/or discomfort — whatever the source — it
interferes with our life. Unfortunately when it happens the
degeneration has started and we get older before our time.
Which of
these sound familiar or are being ignored?
FUNCTION vs. FEELING GOOD
Training
your spine to stay in alignment is important. Pain relief is only the first step to health.
Long-term benefits are achieved by unleashing your body's
natural ability to heal itself. This allows your body to
function at it's best, not just feel good. Athletes (golfers,
swimming, runners, etc.) want this so their performance is
optimum. Most of us just want to enjoy a long and happy life,
right?
This
level of health can be obtained through a
series of joint re-alignment training treatments which correct structural abnormalities and
remove nerve interferences (subluxations). Goal is to help the body
maintain its proper alignment and balance.
Having a
chiropractic examination determines if and how we can help you.
If your case is accepted, a plan of chiropractic adjustments,
exercises and nutritional changes aimed to help your body
relieve the discomfort and regain optimum health would be
reviewed with you. If your condition can not be helped, you
would be referred to another specialist.
What
importance you give your own and family's health is up to you!
We are here to help you resolve sport/work/auto injuries causing
