Chiropractic Represented at
Anti-Aging Health Conference
Chiropractic was represented at the world's largest
"anti-aging" conference in Chicago July 13-15, 2001. At
this conference four chiropractic presenters provided
important data and insights on the role of chiropractic
in the care of older patients. The American Academy of
Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) who sponsored the conference,
is recognized as the society which has changed the way
the world thinks about human aging. Due to the rising
demand for new ideas in anti-aging health, the program
spanned three days and featured three distinct learning
tracks, including the chiropractic educational sessions.
Chiropractic offers two wonderful benefits for the
elderly. First chiropractic aids in mobility allowing
the elderly to enjoy a more mobile life. Secondly,
chiropractic offers more vitality and overall health. By
removing nerve interference from subluxations the entire
body functions better and responds to the changes of
aging in a more positive manner.
Dr. D.D. Humber, ICA President said, "This
inter-disciplinary professional conference represents an
important frontier for chiropractic because only
chiropractic offers a truly drug-free approach to
health. In a segment of the population awash with
prescription drugs, and where one-half of all emergency
room presentations by Medicare beneficiaries are related
to those prescription drugs, chiropractic awareness
becomes an urgent matter of public health. This event
provided the Chiropractic Profession with an opportunity
to educate consumers and other professionals alike on
the value of chiropractic as a health care discipline
that encourages wellness practices with their patients."
"The growing numbers of older people in the population
present increasing challenges as well as opportunities
for health care approaches that combat aging and
infirmity by utilizing the natural resources of the body
itself," said Dr. Coralee Van Egmond, Chiropractor and
the coordinator of the A4M program. "Chiropractic is the
only health care discipline that addresses the inherent
recuperative healing power of the body, and is a natural
and integral partner with other health care disciplines
in society's efforts to combat aging." |
