From the Director's Desk
It’s no secret that the USA is battling an obesity problem, which is central to the long term public health struggle we as a country face. Obesity leads to a variety of other illnesses, including diabetes, cancer, pain syndromes, in addition to other health problems. Ron Grisanti, DC, presents some troubling statistics in his article “A Look into the $35-billion Fitness Industry” on page 16. Creating a practice that focuses on weight loss is a tremendous opportunity for the person that figures out how to do it properly, in helping people get on the road to better health. The statistics indicate this mission is easier said than done.
Also this issue, Dr. Mark Studin, and Dr. Bill Owens continue to use the scientific method to explain “The Mechanism of the Chiropractic Spinal Adjustment/ Manipulation” on page 22. This article specifically enters into the Bio-Neuro-Mechanical Component.
