FC Cincinnati: Adjusting Pro Soccer Players
On a couple of occasions this season, my chiropractic colleague Keith Ripploh asked me to fill in for him in his role working with the FC Cincinnati soccer team. Most recently, I worked with the team adjusting players before their match at TQL Stadium against Orlando on 10/5.
The team and staff are truly great to work with and I enjoy getting the guys in top form to compete!
Are you aware of these performance-related benefits to a healthy, balanced spine and nerve system?
- Chiropractic Care can Improve Athletic Performance
Athletes who were adjusted over 6 weeks improved in all 11 tests—including agility, power, balance and reaction time. The control group did not match the gains of their peers who were adjusted. The Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation 1991.
Baseball players improved their jumping ability, strength, power, muscle capillary supply (oxygen delivery) compared to control group in as little as 5 weeks. JVSR 1997.
- Chiropractic Care can Improve Brain Function
Brain activity was measured before and after adjustments in 500 people. People showed improved brain stimulation and more efficiency in the brain cortex after adjustment. JMPT 1997.
- Chiropractic Care can Improve Lung Function
58 people were tested before and after beginning chiropractic care. Lung function improved significantly regardless of whether people tested as ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’ initially. JVSR 1997.
- Chiropractic Care can Increase Overall Vitality & Quality of Life
A study of 2,818 chiropractic clients showed improved rankings in overall quality of life, physical state, mental/emotional state, stress evaluation and life enjoyment. Improvements began as early as 1-3 months into care and improvement continued with no maximum benefit over years of care. JVSR 1997
Patients noticed fewer limitations physically, less body pain, more vitality, better mental health, fewer restrictions to social events. Chiropractic Research Journal 1998.

Bruce Lipton: Podcast and Book Recommendation

I read The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton many years ago when I was in chiropractic school. At the time, Lipton’s description of epigenetics, meaning ‘above the gene’ or ‘acting on the gene’, was very revolutionary. He helped change the assumption that our lives are almost entirely predetermined be genes by revealing that environmental and lifestyle choices, beliefs and behaviors, change which genes are active or inactive, and therefore expressed in our bodies.
The book can be bought here.
Here is a link to a recent Tony Robbin’s Podcast episode featuring a talk with Dr. Bruce Lipton at a Robbins event: “This is PROOF Your Beliefs Create Your Reality.”

Parking in the lot across the street from our office is still free and available to all of you.
Because the lot gets busier as we approach the holidays, there will be a parking lot attendant stationed at the lot entrance sometimes. Simply let him know that you are coming to see us as you pull into the lot to park and you are all set.

A healthy alternative Halloween treat!
Also, you might be thinking about the amount of sugar on the horizon for your kids (or yourself) with Halloween approaching.
One strategy to limit the shear quantity of Halloween sugar that works well in my family involves a trade in. After the kids trick-or-treat, we allow them to pick a few of their favorite items from the literal pile of 100+ packages of candy. All the rest of the candy is traded in to mom and dad for a gift. We pick out something for each kid ahead of time as a trade in gift. This technique has worked well!
