The Friday, June 7th, Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel published an article, “Stand straighter, live longer: Good posture can help you age better” by Diane C. Lade. The article extensively quoted Steven Weiniger, D.C., author of “Stand Taller – Live Longer” and popular presenter of posture professional training at FCA conventions. In fact, the article also mentioned the FCA Summer Convention, where Dr. Weiniger will be speaking.
(From ACA “Week In Review” of 05/23/2013) Illinois-based newspaper the Journal Star recently posted an article about chiropractic during pregnancy to its Healthy Habits blog. The post cites research from the Journal of Manipulative Physiologic Therapy which found that 84 percent of pregnant women reported relief of back pain during pregnancy after receiving chiropractic services.
(From an ACA News Release of May 8, 2013 – Arlington, Va.) An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests patients try chiropractic services for the treatment of low back pain. According to the article, surgery is not usually needed and should only be considered if more conservative therapies fail. The information in JAMA reinforces the American Chiropractic Association's (ACA) position that conservative care options should serve as a first line of defense against pain.
