weight loss Clinical Trial
Being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on health. Carrying extra fat leads to significant health consequences such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis, and some cancers.
In order to compensate for extra weight, the spine can become tilted and stressed unevenly. As a result, over time, the back may lose its proper support and an unnatural curvature of the spine may develop. We have seen this epidemic affecting so many of our patients that we have decided to implement weight loss and management into our practice.
We are looking for up eight people to work with us to test this program. The ideal participant is over weight or obese with a Body Mass Index of 27 or higher, and can visit our office in Ballantyne between one and three times per week for the six week program beginning mid January through early February.
The efficacy of this program has already been established. Men typically average 30 - 45 lb loss and women average 15 - 20 lbs 2. However, we need to assess the viability of implementing the program within our clinic and combining the program with low level light therapy for improved fat loss and lymphatic drainage.
If you're interested in helping us determine this program's viability,please apply to become a participant today.
If weight loss is a primary goal, and you need to take drastic action, we have a solution for you!
As a doctor of chiropractic, I obviously see many patients suffering with back pain. It is my philosophy not only to try to relieve the patient but to rehabilitate them so that they become stronger then before thus preventing future exacerbations of their condition. There can be many factors that lead to the problem (posture, trauma/accidents, work ergonomics, etc.) but many times a see someone that is overweight and not in good physical shape. This may not be the entire cause of the problem but it is usually a contributing factor. Suggesting good nutritional supplements and weight loss measures fit right in with what I do. It is my responsibility as a doctor to give the patient all the tools they need not only to get better but get to their optimum level of health.
This is why a Chiropractor is interested in providing weight loss advice and programs his patients. As a chiropractic, I address the structural level whereas a proper diet addresses the chemical level. Together we make great advances in the patients overall health.
A weight loss program developed for your specific needs to help you get to a healthy size and weight is essential to your long term health and longevity. We embrace three basic weight loss strategies, along with chiropractic, proper nutritional supplements, and an exercise program not only as the way to become healthy but the way to remain that way. They help me, my family and my patients enjoy life to the fullest. Please don't hesitate to contact me for a weightloss appointment. We are here to help!
