Special Olympics Over the Edge Fundraiser
Thanks to all who contributed to our Special Olympics Over the Edge Fundraiser. We drew a participant from the names of new patients who had come in as well as those who referred new patients in to our office during the time of the fundraiser. Our first winner passed on the opportunity due to a fear of heights. Bob McConnell, who you may remember me recommending in last month's newsletter, was the lucky guy whose name was drawn second. On Wednesday September 21 he rappelled down the side of the Financial Center downtown! Also, in the spirit of the event, Bob went on to raise a few hundred dollars personally for Special Olympics! Thanks Bob for taking on this challenge and for helping us help Special Olympics!

I incorporated the simple techniques into my run tonight and I ran faster than I ever have, had more energy at the end - never ended up feeling winded or tired and actually felt like I could have gone another couple of miles - and my knees didn't hurt and aren't hurting now at all! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled and looking forward to my long run this Saturday to see what a difference it makes there.

Condition of the Month – Kids & Chiropractic
The top three conditions that adults visit chiropractors for are back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, many parents are surprised to learn that the reasons children visit a chiropractor are quite different.
Top Reasons Kids Visit a Chiropractor:
2. 10.6% Neck Pain
3. 10.3% Check-up
4. 8.8% Headache
5. 7.1% Upper Resp. Infection
6. 6.3% Low Back Pain
7. 4.5% Allergies
8. 3.3% Asthma
9. 3.3% Bedwetting
10. 3.2% Upper Back Pain
11. Chronic Constipation
If your child or the child of someone you know is suffering from these conditions, consider giving safe and effective chiropractic care a chance before trying higher risk drugs and surgery.
Would you like your child to be examined to see if there are any problems. Take advantage of an upcoming Kid's Day – the first Tuesday of each month. On this day children under 13 receive any needed services at no charge!

I’ve been racing mountain bikes for the past 12 years, and over the past 6 or 7 years I began to notice a gradual increase in lower back discomfort that eventually transitioned into sometimes unbearable pain. I would finish a race, dismount my bike and it would take me about 5 minutes to stand up straight. I had pretty much accepted the back pain as a part of getting older and figured that it would be something that I was going to have to deal with as long as I kept riding and racing.
I chose to seek treatment from Dr. Krohse based on recommendations from a few friends and also because Dr. Krohse actively participates in a lot of the same cycling activities that I do. His intimate understanding of the demands on the human body from competitive cycling have proven to be invaluable. After two weeks of bi-weekly treatments, I began to notice a remarkable change in how my lower back felt during and after races. The unbearable pain began to transition back to minor discomfort to a point where I had a relatively pain free race 3 weeks after seeing Dr. Krohse. I plan to continue chiropractic treatment with Dr. Krohse as a regular part of my training regime.
If you’re considering chiropractic treatment, I would highly recommend Dr. Krohse. I haven’t been to very many chiropractors throughout my life, but I find it hard to believe that you will find a better doctor to take care of your needs!
