Athletes Utilize Chiropractic:
Ice Skater Ninotchka Aschow (Santa Rosa FSC), competing at the 2007 U.S.
Adult Championships in Bensenville, Ill., was as much of a thrill as winning the
championship gold ladies medal. At her side as she trained was Dr. C. Dumbadse
DC who treated her for the past six years. Ms. Aschow captured the
12-woman field on Saturday afternoon thanks to her well-rounded repertoire of
jumps, spins and footwork. “I feel great, it was fantastic, I loved every single minute,” said Aschow,
who is coached by Friday night's championship gold pairs winner Choeleen
Loundagin. “I just kept thinking how awesome I felt, how much fun it is and it's
where I feel the most joy.” Aschow has been skating for 27 years, and this is
her fourth U.S. Adult Championships. In 2006, she
placed third and in 2005 finished first.
Olympics Water Polo Champion and Doctor of Chiropractic,
Dr. Terry Schroeder DC, previously modeled for the current LA Coliseum bronze
male statue honoring all athletes in the Los Angeles Games. He now coaches water
polo at alma mater Pepperdine University and was named Assistant Coach for the
2008 Olympics team in Beijing. Every athlete looks for that edge since there is
very little margin between first or third place. Knowingly Dr. Schroeder
utilized chiropractic care to keep his body finely tuned, giving him a huge
advantage and competitive edge in past competitions. Now he provides such care
and was quoted as saying: "Our health care system struggles between providing health
care and sick care. To keep the system from becoming bankrupt, we need to look
toward wellness and that's what chiropractic care is about - keeping people well
and healthy."
Golf 2007 Masters Winner Zach Johnson connected with
chiropractic through his father, Dr. David Johnson DC, who spoke at a Palmer
Alumni dinner about how chiropractic is utilized by PGA golfers to get that
performance edge. In fact during Ryder Cup in Europe even Tiger Woods took
advantage of the offered care in a chiropractic trailer that accompanies each PGA
event.
"Dancing With The Stars" samba star and NFL's
football hero Emmitt Smith got
"minor repairs" from Dr. Robert Parker DC before hitting the dance floor on
October 10, 2006 to waltzed away with "the best samba of the night" rating.
He later went on to win the 11/06 contest. Other television media outlets picked up this angle and expanded with another
producer asking a chiropractor to stand by for other contestants needing care.
Eyes
Movement Improves Memory - Research study at the Manchester Metropolitan
University in England and reported in LiveScience 4/25/07 found that after
hearing a list of words, those who moved their eyes side-to-side for 30 seconds
correctly remembered more than 10 percent more words, and falsely recognized
about 15 percent fewer "lure" words, compared to those who moved their eyes up
and down or did nothing. The researchers suspect it's because the horizontal eye
movements cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more, and
communication between the left and right brain hemispheres is known to help us
remember certain things. The researchers aren't sure whether the eye movements
will help people in their daily lives ... but it's certainly worth a try the
next time you've misplaced your keys or forgotten your grocery list at home! (Magnesium,
a trace mineral found in dark green, leafy vegetables, also may help).
DOCTOR’S
CORNER: Ever wonder why athletes get joint alignment checkups when they
keep so physically fit? It really boils down to taking care of what you have,
even if it is one of the finest or worst conditioned body in your group of
friends. Many times I look around to see how everyone else is caring for their
body, then wonder how I want to look and feel in 10 or 20 years. Most people are
so busy with their lives that there seems to be no time left to do good things
for the body. Suddenly it is years later and we wake up to find that our body
has broken down and needs extensive care to either function or just survive. Or
when the grand kids want to do something physical and our bodies can not keep
up. Thus we do a dis-service to others by not taking care of ourselves so we can
not participate with them. The old saying, "USE IT OR LOSE IT" is all so very true.
So join me and let's keep fit - physically (exercise), mentally (good
thoughts/spiritually), and chemically (diet)!
