DC has a Hanoun multi-cervical unit for sale E-mail message this week: Podiatric Alliances As I was ready to lock the doors for the night .. a taxi pulled up and a visitor from England stepped out wishing an adjustment .. he was a Podiatrist in town for a seminar. After his long flight from Europe his neck and shoulder musles were in spasm and he was beginning to experience radicular pain down his arm. After questioning him about his chiropractic care in England, I was impressed with his understanding of the mechanics of chiropractic as well as his appreciation. He continued to express his excitement meeting his chiropractor in England .. sorry but I forgot the name and city .. his experience and further exploration with the relationship between the pedal and the spine .. the biomechanics from the foundation up. Obviously .. as an instructor at Life University .. I mentioned the fantastic research facility we have for Sports Health Science and Lifežs Masteržs Degree program. I gave him some telephone numbers and hope he will follow through and visit the school and search for more. If he was a local doctor .. I would have created a professional alliance. As I was adjusting him and he began to experience instant relief .. I mentioned the relationship our two allied professions have in common. How many of his patients .. after being placed in a soft or hard cast .. given a crutch .. provided an odd fitting shoe/boot or having surgery also have pelvic or lower back discomfort within a day or two. As he agreed .. I pointed to the anatomy chart and how easily these areas of discomfort may eventually produce further visceral irritation if left in a defensive state . and how a referral to a chiropractor was in order. Likewise .. one of our patients with unstable lower limbs or ankle sprain/strains may need a podiatric referral to arrest the instability and potential subluxation process. We need professional alliances with conservative and respectful allied healthcare providers. I recommend you give this some thought and send an introductory letter or make the general information phone call to their office. Mention what I wrote above and determine their interest in creating an alliance for potential referrals. In our world of managed care .. itžs time now to beginning managing our own destinies .. professional referrals is but one way to go.

It is an excellent piece of equipment for cervical rehabilitation. You can do free range of motion in all planes (including coupled ranges) as well as weight resistant range of motion. It can be set up with a force plate for static muscle testing although that would need to be bought separately. Reply to: docfletch@sympatico.ca
