Helping the Chiropractic Profession Capture the Middle and High School Athlete Market

The prevention and care of sports-related musculoskeletal injuries in middle and high school athletes is virtually ignored by traditional healthcare providers, according to Dr. Tim Maggs (TM). He has developed the Concerned Parents of Young Athletes Program in partnership with Foot Levelers, and his goal is to provide every middle and high school athlete in this country with the opportunity to go through a biomechanical exam prior to each sports season, in addition to their current medical exam.

When included with a formal treatment plan, they provide enhanced healing and a speedy recovery. Most third-party payers provide benefits for these additional services and, therefore, expect proper documentation from the initial visit through the routine office visits to prove medical necessity.

Recognizing Symptoms of Sympathetic Exhaustion

A basic science education in the healing arts includes a detailed description of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and its two divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic. It is necessary for the student and prospective clinician to understand how the brain collects data from sensory receptors in the organs and tissues, and then sends appropriate signals back to initiate the proper response.

Life on a Weight-Maintenance Eating Plan

Once you’ve made the commitment to lose weight, the rest is easy—sort of. You have your plan, you know what you have to do, and you are committed to reaching your goal. However, sometimes your best-laid weight-loss plans can be derailed by the thought that you will have to eat the way you did to lose the weight for the rest of your life.
