Wellness Programs

Part of our committment to a healthier Antelope Valley is to help our patients understand the action steps they can take to bring their physical being to it’s fullest potential.  We offer a series of workshops in our training center that teach our patients and their families (spouses, parents, children) the secrets to a healthier life.  These workshops require pre-registration.  The schedule of our upcoming workshops can be found on the News and Events page of this website.

We offer many of our workshops to community groups, churches, schools and employers.  To schedule a talk for your group, contact us.

A wonderful article was published PlanetChiropractic.com yesterday about Dr. Suzanne Frye & Dr. Ted Magnuson.  Our doctors were invited to take care of the athletes at the Wide Open Volleyball Tournament on Hermosa Beach.  The tournament , which feeds the U.S. Open Volleyball Championships featured top Volleyball players from around the world.

Many of the athletes were under regular chiropractic care. Interestingly enough, most of the athletes suffered from conditions that affect tall people more often.
For example spondylolisthesis is an injury to the spine where a vertebrae slips forward, creating a stair stepping effect.  Usually this occurs in the low back at L-5.  The reason so many volleyball players have a ‘Spondy’ is because their height adds leverage to their low back when the fall.  Spondy’s can be very painful conditions.

The other very common complaint that volleyball players presented with was upper back pain.  This problem comes from not only their height, but also their frequent falls onto the sand.  Caught early, before becoming chronic, upper back pain is easy to manage.    The other cause of upper back pain is loss of curve in the neck, loss of lordosis.

A big thanks to the organizers of the tournament.  it was professionally run.  They gave us a wonderful location with VIP views of the play.  Their sponsors were extremely kind to us.  In particular Zico coconut water kept us, all of the kids and the athletes naturally hydrated all weekend without any of the chemicals and toxins that you find in all the other sports drink.

 What does the future hold for our kids when they are overweight, out of shape, and taking medications for the effects? What kind of life are we creating for them?

If you are a parent, you know it’s not easy raising a healthy child these days. Wherever you turn, it’s greasy fast foods, video games, TV, and artificially sweetened everything.

And now, a whole generation is paying the price for this lifestyle. The truth is painfully obvious: following our unhealthy culture is killing us. Humans were not created to live this way!

It’s time for a change. If you want your kids—and yourself–to eat, breathe, sleep, run, and live the way they were created to live, a new journey can begin today. And best of all, it can be fun!

This program will expose the dangers of our fast-food, high-tech world. It will reveal the myths about children’s nutrition and fitness. It will explain how many of our children’s disorders and diseases—of body and mind—are interconnected. This program is not about following a strict diet or an impossible exercise regimen; it is about going to the root of the problem and making reasonable choices in every part of life—and making changes in ways that work for kids.

Here is some of what you will learn:

* The truth about the so-called “fat gene”
