Compass Chiropractic April, 2009 E-Newsletter

Thursday, April 2 – OPEN HOUSE - THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC FIRST YEAR!

Invite your friends and family to the Compass Chiropractic Open House on Thursday, April 2 from 5-7 PM. We'll have fun, friendship, food, and door prizes including a Wii/Wii Fit. Just showing up gives you a shot at winning.

Anyone interested in becoming a new patient will be able to donate $30 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and receive a complementary new patient visit (exam, any needed spinal X-rays, table massage, and report of findings - value up to $300!). We're hoping to raise over $2000 for this great cause, so make the donation and you'll get an extra shot at winning the Wii/Wii Fit!

Established patients can help us reach our goal as well. Those who make a $20 or greater donation at the open house will receive one complementary treatment (adjustment, Active Release Techniques, and table massage) to be used by April 17, as well as an extra entry into the door prize drawing.

Door prize drawing will take place at 6:30 and you must be present to win.

Business Owners and Service Professionals - bring a promotional product or gift with your business card on it and we'll include that in our door prize drawing! Get a shout out in front of a large crowd! Lorie Bruck from Promotions Plus and Lia Sophia Jewelry (515-577-1418) already dropped off a $100 Lia Sophia gift certificate!

FAQ’s – Identity Theft

Q: My wife is a different person since her headaches started happening daily. What can we do?

A: We all know someone whose identity: "great parent," "loving spouse," "strong worker," or "forever-youthful athlete" has been stolen away and replaced with a new one: "headache sufferer," "low back pain victim," "carpal tunnel hostage," or "injured-shoulder drain on society." They have resigned themselves to their fate and feel no hope of having their original identity restored.

At Compass Chiropractic we fight identity theft daily. Patients are amazed when an incredibly thorough examination rapidly apprehends the causes of their condition. A plan is then formed to rapidly restore their health and identity with the most advanced non-surgical, non-drug, condition-resolving treatments available.

For dysfunctional joints (132 joints in the spine alone) which often cause back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica (pain down the leg) specific hands-on or gentle, instrument-assisted adjustments are used to restore normal motion and joint function. Patented, highly-effective Active Release Techniques address scar tissue and nerve irritation which cause conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, hip pain, and knee pain. Problem-specific exercises and stretches address the muscular causes of ongoing low back pain and shoulder instability. Guaranteed semi-flexible custom orthotics address dysfunctional foot arches and resulting joint stress which cause foot, knee, hip, and low back pain.

We are thrilled to share that we frequently win the fight against identity theft. If you know someone whose identity has been stolen, please direct them to the identity theft experts at Compass Chiropractic, where a complimentary consultation is always available to learn more about our care options.

Condition of the Month – Shoulder Pain

Patients with shoulder pain report that it affects every area of their life. Activities like putting on clothes, lifting groceries, and giving a loved one a hug cannot be taken for granted anymore, as pain is felt with every movement. Athletes with shoulder pain are often faced with the options of quitting the passion of their life, or going through a higher risk surgical procedure with no guarantee of a return to full function.

At Compass Chiropractic, a thorough examination reveals the causes of shoulder pain and limited range of motion. A plan is formed to restore normal shoulder function and pain-free living. Highly effective treatments including specific adjustments and Active Release Techniques are used to address all the causes of the problem. It is so rewarding to hear stories of how our care has enabled patients to return to their normal, healthy lives.
