Why wait?
Most of you know that I broke my left ankle in May. I thought my Xterra Triathlon season was probably over for 2017. Since this was supposed to be my 10th season, I set a hopeful goal to make it make for my final scheduled race on August 5.
Since I’m still not cleared to run, I did make it to the starting line this past Saturday with a plan to swim, mountain bike, and hike the run course. I was definitely S-L-O-W as the lack of training (because of the injury) really showed on the rocky and hilly course at 9000 ft. But I finished. And I wasn’t last.
You see, when you guys and gals get hurt, I try to coach you to keep your eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel, because injuries do heal. Even though it was tough, I kept my eye on this race when I got hurt. It helped get me through the recovery process. We understand that pain and injuries can be frustrating, and we are here to help you. Call us if you need us 303.300.0424. Here are a couple of race pics- on the bike and with my boys at the finish.
“I waited too long to come in.”
That’s the #1 thing we hear from patients when they come to see us. It’s human nature to wait for pain to go away. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn’t. Why waste time in pain? If something is hurting, call us and we will get you in. 303.300.0424. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder problems, hip pain, sciatica and more. Our Denver Chiropractor Dr. Glenn Hyman is here with chiropractic care and Active Release Techniques when you need help.
Our Denver chiropractor has just 2 spots left this week, both on Thursday morning (July 27, 2017). So if you want to get in before the weekend, call us at 303.300.0424 for chiropractic care and Active Release Techniques treatment. We can also put you on a wait list for Friday (July 28) if you’d like.
It sure was a night of fun at the Rockies game this past Saturday night for my middle son Jason and I. Star Wars bobble heads, both benches cleared after Carlos Gonzales almost got plunked, and the Rockies won 7-3. But man do those seats bug my back. If you did something that bugged your back (or neck, or shoulder, or hip…you get the idea) call us at 303.300.0424 to get to the desk. We will get you in. Don’t waste time with pain.
We have a couple of openings today (Friday, July 14). If you want to come see our Denver chiropractor, Dr. Glenn Hyman, (for chiropractic care and Active Release Techniques treatment), before the weekend call us at 303.300.0424 or email office@denverback.com to get to Meg at the desk!
We are back from vacation and ready to help you once again. So if you need us, call us at 303.300.0424 or use the scheduling link at the top of our page and we will get you in! Our Denver chiropractor, Dr. Glenn Hyman, had this to say:
“My family and I met my New Jersey relatives (My parents, my brother, his wife and their two daughters) up in Beaver Creek. We had a great time rafting, jeeping, hiking, fishing, fireworks watching and eating. Here’s a panoramic shot of all 11 of us from the top of Ptarmigan Pass.”
No broken ankle will stop me from coaching kids’ sports. The 7-8 Minor League Muck Dogs won their game 9-2 this past Saturday. My 7-year-old Zach played 3rd base and had 2 hits.
We’re out this Friday, so if you need to come see us don’t wait. Call 303.300.0424 or email office@denverback.com to get straight to Meaghan at the desk!
This week’s 1-Page Health News:
Mental Attitude: Sleep Helps Memory.
If you want to give your memory a boost, make sure to get enough sleep. The National Sleep Foundation says that sleep benefits your memory the following ways: it helps your body retain what you’ve learned, it fosters new neuron connections that transform experiences into long-term memories, and it enhances your ability to stay focused when studying unfamiliar material.

Health Alert: Any Level of Smoking Promotes Heart Risks.
You may think that having an occasional cigarette in a social setting is less harmful for your heart than smoking a pack a day, but a new study suggests otherwise. Researchers reviewed health data concerning nearly 40,000 people in the United States and found that both social smokers and regular smokers have double the risk for hypertension and more than a 50% greater risk for high cholesterol—both of which are major contributors to cardiovascular disease—when compared with nonsmokers.

Diet: Yogurt Consumption Linked to Better Bone Health Among Senior Women.
A large observational study of dairy intake and bone and frailty measurements among older adult females has found that increased yogurt consumption is associated with a higher hip bone density and a significantly reduced risk of osteoporosis. Lead author Dr. Eamon Laird notes, “Yogurt is a rich source of different bone promoting nutrients and thus our findings in some ways are not surprising. The data suggest that improving yogurt intakes could be a strategy for maintaining bone health but it needs verification through future research as it is observational.”

Exercise: Cardiorespiratory Fitness Reduces the Risk of Fatty Liver.
When too much fat is present in the liver, it can hinder the organ’s ability to heal itself and filter toxins from the body. A new study finds that cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely related to the risk of fat build up in the liver. Researchers measured the cardiorespiratory fitness of 463 people using a cycle ergometer exercise test and determined fatty liver with the use of ultrasound. The researchers found that individuals with greater cardiorespiratory fitness were less likely to have a fatty liver, even after controlling for factors such as smoking, alcohol use, serum lipids, insulin, glucose, and C-reactive protein.

Chiropractic: Musculoskeletal Risk Factors for Back Pain.
A recent research review set out to identify musculoskeletal risk factors that can be treated clinically before the onset of lower back pain (LBP). Investigators found twelve articles that evaluated musculoskeletal risk factors for the development of lower back pain, which included a total of 5,459 participants. The researchers found a link between an increased risk of developing LBP and restriction in side bending in the low back, restriction of hamstring range of motion, and limited lumbar lordosis. These findings may allow clinicians to screen for and identify risk factors that could potentially reduce costs and improve the quality of life of many individuals by preventing the development of back pain.

Wellness/Prevention: Keeping Teens Safe in the Sun.
Teens often enjoy the sun without worrying about wrinkles, sun damage, or skin cancer, but experts say that parents should have a conversation with their children about staying safe while outdoors during the warmer months. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following for teens: stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun rays are at their strongest; wear light clothing with tightly-woven fabric that can reflect sun’s rays; wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses; apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day before going outdoors, and reapply it throughout the day; make sure it’s applied to the entire body, including the tops of the ears and feet; regularly check skin for moles that look suspicious, and point any out to a parent or doctor.

This is me preparing for the brand-new, advanced Active Release Techniques class that I attended last weekend. You see, all of us instructors are required to get certified in new courses when they roll out. But getting these certifications requires passing a tough hands-on test at the end of each class. So I studied a lot. This is me buried in my basement last week.
It paid off. Of the 90 instructors who completed the course, 18 failed the test. Some went out and partied in the evenings after the course. I got take-out from Whole Foods, ate it in my room and studied at night (both nights). I passed the test and now have some new advanced Active Release Techniques treatments to help all of y’all.
Office manager Meaghan and I are always striving to provide you with the best care and best customer service we possibly can. We will never stop trying to get better. That’s our promise to you.
We have some Rockies tickets to give away NEXT week, so our email subscribers should look for our emails on Monday 5/8 (Cubs tix for Monday night!) and Thursday 5/11 (Dodgers tix for next Saturday night!)
