I mentioned to some friends that I received my first Viagra (non-prescription alternative) Spam message via my Fax machine. Apparently this was meant for Bret Z from Len. Len must have been talking to Bret on his cell phone when his battery died, hence the need to fax this info (to me).

X Games 14 Shakes up Los Angeles
Thursday, July 31st, 2008By Michael Dorausch, DC
The ground will be shaking this weekend in Los Angeles, at least around the Staples Center in downtown LA. On the heels of a 5.4 magnitude earthquake which took place earlier this week in Chino Hills, is X Games 14. The X Games is a high adrenaline action-packed weekend filled with dirt, Moto X, BMX, Skate, Surf, and more. The Staples Center opens live to the public today at 4 p.m.
I’ve had my share of dirt and sweat thanks to contact in providing chiropractic care to a number of amateur and professional BMX riders during the past 8 years. Anyone that thinks for a moment that these athletes aren’t serious about what they do has got another thing coming. These guys are hard-core and they are super high energy and totally focused on giving every run their all.
EXPN will have the bulk of details and coverage for this weekend’s event, so check out the site for schedules, videos, highlights, blog entries and more. Events taking place this evening include BMX Freestyle Street Final at 4:30 p.m. (Event Deck at LA Live), Skateboard Big Air Final at 5:45 p.m. (Staples Center), Moto X Best Trick Final at 7 p.m. (Staples Center), and Moto X Best Whip at 9:15 p.m. (Staples Center). Moto X Best Whip is an exhibition event but well worth checking out.
I’ve got my favorites in BMX but I’m biased to those I’ve worked with over the past eight years or so. X Games 13 was also at the Staples Center (and Home Depot Center) and the popularity of the megaevent continues to grow each year. Last year Carlsbad Skater Jake Brown became famous for a 40+ foot fall he took during a Big Air event last year. Jake is expected to be the first skater scheduled to drop in on the monster 292 foot skate ramp in tonight’s X Games opening events.
Here is to all those participating in this years X Games 14 in Los Angeles, California. Looking forward to another weekend full of insane stunts and jaw-dropping performances.

Hot and Sticky August Chiropractix
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008By Michael Dorausch, DC
Hot and sticky is one way to describe what kind of weather chiropractors can expect when arriving at travel destinations this August. Amazing that Friday is the first of August and the last day of July is tomorrow. It’s gone so fast. Well, chiropractors love to travel and there’s a smattering of events taking place throughout the hot summer month, giving them reason to grab their swimming attire for some pool time between education sessions.
(photo: Harry Engel as Batman) What to wear? I was packing my backpack a half-hour ago and thinking about what to bring to Scottsdale, Arizona (event this weekend at the Arizona Biltmore) so I checked the Interwebz for weather conditions. Yikes, estimated weekend temperature is 112°F during the day and 86°F in the nighttime. Tell me all you want about it being a “dry heat”, it’s still hot, and I am bringing swim trunks, flip-flops, and T-shirts. The nicely pressed slacks and dress shirts (and even Batman suits) will remain in the closet and ready for the office on Monday morning.
Hot Arizona is not the only place for chiropractic events in August. There is a list here of seminars taking place August and September and don’t forget that chiropractic Dynamic Essentials is in August as well.
One of the reasons we chiropractors attend these events is the requirement of Postgraduate Continuing Education but it’s also really nice to get out of the office and enjoy some good times with friends and colleagues. If you’re looking for seminars that are inclusive for continuing education credits, make sure you check in advance, since not all chiropractic events offer them.
Weather for Phoenix, AZ this weekend is estimated around 112 degrees Fahrenheit and I noticed whether in Davenport, Iowa is currently around 92 degrees Fahrenheit. The difference is Davenport is showing 48% humidity. What were the Palmer’s thinking when they decided to do homecomings in August? Still, it’s a must do event for chiropractors worldwide (everybody should visit Palmer at least once).
The Southern California University of Health Sciences 2008 Extravaganza is hosting their event in Long Beach, California. For the list of chiropractic events I checked across the United States, Long Beach looks like it’s shaping up to deliver the best weather. Not that anyone’s going to go swimming in Long Beach Harbor. Conditions and forecast for the area show highs of 86 degrees (that’s Fahrenheit) with humidity around 50% (I think that’s kind of high for SoCal). Evenings shouldn’t get too cold and will likely offer temps around 70°.
The folks from Parker are hosting a conference in Dallas during August as well. See the seminars link above for dates and times regarding all of these events and seminars. My check on weather for Dallas is showing 97 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity at 41%. That’s not as hot as Phoenix, Arizona but one can expect to get pretty hot and sticky during the cab ride from Dallas airport to the convention center.
The gang in Eatontown, New Jersey doesn’t host a New Beginnings for a New Future seminar until late September, allowing temperatures to calm down a bit in the Jersey beach area. I originally thought the four-day event was scheduled for August so I checked temperatures. Weather for Eatontown, NJ was showing 86 on the Fahrenheit scale and humidity of around 49%.
I’ve got my sunglasses, two pair of shorts, swim trunks, footgear, T-shirts and other essentials (laptop, power charger, digital camera, USB sticks, camera SD cards, mini tripod, and cell phone) and that’s about all I’ll be needing for my weekend Chiropractix Fix.
Wishing everyone safe summer travels. Get your event details here.

Meet a Chiropractor - Jeri Anderson of Sacramento
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008By Daria Belov
The capital of the state of California, is the home and practice location of Sacramento born and raised chiropractor Jeri Anderson. An individual dedicated to serving her community, Dr. Jeri Anderson provides chiropractic care to residents and visitors to California’s fourth largest metropolitan area. She has a contagious enthusiasm about chiropractic and life that is sure to energize those she comes in contact with.
We contacted Dr. Anderson for a Planet Chiropractic interview to learn more about her introduction to chiropractic and her love for serving the Central Valley area of Sacramento. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Jeri Anderson.
Dr. Jeri Anderson, DC, CSCS, CCST, CCSP - Capitol Chiropractic
9500 Micron Ave., Suite 108, Sacramento, CA 95827
(916) 368-1600
PC: How did you get introduced to chiropractic?
JA: I was introduced to chiropractic at age 18, after experiencing neck and back injuries from years of equestrian sports. At the time, I was a skeptic of chiropractic that landed in a chiropractic office after nothing else worked. Not only did chiropractic work, the results of my care were so fantastic that they transformed my life.
PC: You grew up in a state that is home to four different chiropractic colleges, where did you attend?
JA: I received an excellent education at Life Chiropractic College-West, graduating cum laude with the Clinical Excellence Citation in 1986.
PC: I understand Life West teaches a variety of chiropractic adjusting techniques, what kind of methods did you take away from your education and apply to your practice?
JA: Each patient’s needs are unique, so as chiropractor I feel it is always important to have the right tool for the job. Therefore, I have diligently studied a variety of techniques in order to do my job well. I earned an Advanced Proficiency rating with the Activator technique, which is often described as a painless chiropractic technique that is effective for all ages and body types. I have a thorough understanding and skillset for the Gonstead technique, having taught Gonstead at Life Chiropractic College-West. Additionally, I often use SOT, diversified, NUCCA and Thompson methods to help my patients.
PC: Sound like you’re quite proficient in your delivery of chiropractic methods. Are there other services you provide in your practice?
JA: I have very advanced training and certifications in the care of auto injury patients and have testified in the Oregon and California courts as a expert on the subject. Additionally, I hold advanced credentials in the area of sports injuries and exercise training and have completed over 100 hours of postgraduate training in injury/neurologic rehabilitation. That being said, I am most proud of the families that I take care of; many of which span four generations. I really enjoy helping anybody who walks through our doors.
PC: For people living or visiting the Sacramento area that want to become patients in your office, what forms of payment does your practice accept?
JA: We bill individual and group health insurance, union health insurance, auto insurance and attorney liens. We have affordable care for those without insurance.
PC: Looks like everyone has access to chiropractic care in your place. With the state of health care today, that’s a great thing. When we step outside your chiropractic office what else is in the area?
JA: Our patients find it very convenient that 24 Hour Fitness, Wells Fargo, West Marine, Fireside Bank, Strings Restaurant and American General Finance are all situated in our office complex.
PC: Those sound like some great neighbors to have nearby your business. You grew up in the Sacramento area or did you move there after graduating from chiropractic college?
JA: I am a local product having been born and raised in the Sacramento area. I never thought I would end up back here after graduating from chiropractic college in 1986 and setting up my first practice in Ashland, Oregon. However, upon learning that my Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1991, I decided to come back to Sacramento. I am happy to report that my Dad is 83, full of life, still driving and in great spirits! I am also happy to report that I love being back in Sacramento with my friends, patients and family!
PC: You apparently love what you do. Anybody ever accuse you of being just a slight enthusiastic?
JA: Chiropractic is more than just a profession to me; it is just a great way of living life. I have enjoyed helping chiropractic patients from all walks of life: from Olympic and professional athletes, Grammy winners and business leaders to newborn babies, 101 year old seniors and four generation families.
I absolutely love what I do and have proudly celebrated a few milestones along the way. While in attendance at Life-West, I had the largest intern practice in the history of the college outpatient clinic at that time. Now that was fun! Here are a few of the highlights for me over the past 20 plus years in chiropractic:
Advanced Certifications:
? Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, National Strength & Conditioning Association.
? Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, American Board of Chiropractic Sports Physicians
? Chiropractic Certification in Whiplash & Spinal Trauma Care, International Chiropractors Association
? Advanced Proficiency Rating, Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique
? Advanced Program Graduate, Whiplash & Brain Traumatology - Spine Research Institute of San Diego
Awards:
? Botterman Scholarship, California Chiropractic Association
? Clinical Excellence Citation, Life Chiropractic College-West
? America’s Top Chiropractors
? Best of U.S.
? 2007 Alumna of the Year, Life Chiropractic College-West
? Honored Lifetime Member, International Chiropractors Association
PC: You haven’t been lazying around, do you have a web site with more information about your practice and the services?
JA: Due to the amount of educational information that we find important to share, we actually maintain 3 separate websites. Each website is dedicated to specific areas: www.CapChiro4Health.com - Our main chiropractic health education and information website. Enjoy over 400 pages of quality content. Research and learn about the chiropractic lifestyle. Find out how we have reduced or eliminated pain and improved the quality of health naturally for many, without the use of drugs and their often harmful side effects. We provide care that is safe, effective, affordable and gentle. Check out our monthly special!
www.WhiplashRecovery.com - For in depth information regarding auto accident injury. Watch Injury TV and learn about whiplash and auto safety.
www.DrJeriAnderson.com - Listen to our patients share their awesome chiropractic stories via their video testimonials and written testimonials. Learn how chiropractic care helps many specific conditions. Visit the links section for excellent references regarding chiropractic, nutrition, parenting, choices for family health, and children’s safety.
PC: Wow, no messing around at Capitol Chiropractic, your presence is all over the Internet. Tell us more about the inside of the office.
JA: When you enter our office you will be welcomed and greeted with a smile! Our office is very easy to get to as it is right off Highway 50 at the Bradshaw exit. We have plenty of excellent, well-lit parking. Inside of our office we have open, as well as, private patient adjusting rooms. We have a special room with simple equipment dedicated to spinal rehabilitation and a classroom for our educational classes that our patients LOVE. Additionally, we have “those wonderful hydromassage beds”, as our patients often tell us! We also have a dedicated kids room with educational toys, books and Disney & Pixar movies where children can enjoy themselves. Parents really appreciate our kids room.
PC: Are the any other members of your family that are chiropractors?
JA: No, but there are a number of chiropractors that are like family to me.
PC: If a patient asked, are there any particular chiropractic schools you would recommend they attend?
JA: Hands down I would recommend Life Chiropractic College-West in Hayward, CA. They have probably the best college president out there in Dr. Gerry Clum, and have state-of-the-art technology on the campus such as weight bearing MRI, digital x-ray and a range of diagnostic equipment for balance disorders.
PC: We’ve been hearing lots of great things about that school and the president, they have developed quite a reputation in the areas of education and leadership. Tell us more about the city you live in, what is Sacramento like?
JA: Sacramento is a city of rivers, trees and at times?traffic! We have an awesome bike, hiking, and horseback riding trail along the American River that spans over 30 miles one way. We are approximately 90 minutes from San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, or the Napa valley wine country. This makes day trips really easy to some awesome places.
PC: Are you actively involved in any Sacramento area community activities?
JA: Capitol Chiropractic is very dedicated to our community. Each year we host several events. We have gained national attention for our annual Buckle-Up Safe Day; an event dedicated to reducing injuries and deaths associated with auto accident injuries. We also host an annual Patient Appreciation Day in which we invite our patients to come enjoy chiropractic care, massage, food and refreshments, face painting and balloons for the kids, etc all for charity. In other words, all of our services performed on Patient Appreciation Day are performed for free or on a donation basis, with 100% of the proceeds donated to a local charity. We have supported many charities such as the Sacramento chapter of American Diabetes Association, Kiwanis Family House, Sacramento Food Bank, Sacramento Children’s Receiving Home, Stanford Children’s Home and Loves and Fishes.
PC: So beside you being Sacramento’s chiropractic superstar, what is your community’s claim to fame?
JA: We are the capitol city! You know, the place where Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger holds his day job.
PC: A local Sacramento TV news crew walks in your front door and you are live on television. The reporter asks “what is it that you do here?” You reply?
JA: Our goal for our patients is simple: To improve your health and improve your life!
PC: Thanks for being a part of our Planet Chiropractic interview series Dr. Anderson. This was a great interview that should provide people with lots of information about your practice and love for chiropractic. Anything you’d like to add?
JA: Chiropractic is my past, present and future and I look forward to celebrating many more milestones in the years ahead!
Strip Mall Chiropractors
Sunday, July 27th, 2008By Michael Dorausch, DC
We can’t all be Strip Mall Chiropractors. My office is located amongst about six other businesses in what we call a “strip mall” or mini shopping center. This past weekend I visited with chiropractors from North Hollywood, Burbank, Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale, and Bakersfield. I took photos at Frye Chiropractic (which is [...]

The Price of Greatness
Friday, July 25th, 2008By Michael Dorausch, DC
“What is the price of greatness in your world? Or, worse than that, are you willing to live without greatness? Will you acquess to mediocrity? No one will know whether you have been here or not. The worse thing in the world ? to accept defeat and be consumed by the wave of negativity that rules this world. You don’t need to live in the dark side. What is the price of greatness in your world?” - Ian Grassam, DC
This is the 8th and final installment of a historically motivational lecture delivered by the late Ian Grassam in February of 1997. Grassam was a major chiropractic mover and shaker and was one of the professions finest speakers of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Readers may want to acquaint themselves with the earlier parts of this series which include Focus with Ian Grassam, Health is that Condition, Dealing With Mass Ignorance, How You Create Insanity in a Society, Greatness is that Place You Dream About, When you get right on the inside, and Knowing This Principle before continuing on to read the information presented here. The complete 1997 presentation in mp3 audio format is also available.
Here is Ian Grassam…
Does it mean not getting along with your mother and your father? Does it mean not getting along with the chiropractor down the street? Does it mean not getting along with the profession that you’ve joined? Do you have to be a David Kennedy ? if so, why not?
What is the price of greatness in your world? Or, worse than that, are you willing to live without greatness? Will you acquess to mediocrity? No one will know whether you have been here or not. The worse thing in the world ? to accept defeat and be consumed by the wave of negativity that rules this world. You don’t need to live on the dark side. What is the price of greatness in your world?
When you’re sitting there quiet at night and everyone else in the house is asleep, what is your price of greatness? It should come up out of the middle of you and burst you out of your chair and make you walk for hours, never being able to stop ? energized by the possibility of greatness. You should be energized by the possibility of total freedom. You should be willing to go to the wall and be gutted as William Wallace was for his freedom ? for he freed a nation with his beliefs. What was his price of greatness?
Remember this innate directive ? the spiritual wall of life the dwells within you. It exists on both sides of this planet, the live side and the dead side it makes no difference. Jesus went to the cross to prove that didn’t he? Did he not push it all the way? What was the price of greatness?
Somebody said to me the other day, “Ian, I’m in school I’ve got to put in an extra year, and I hate to miss that year because you know I’ll get into practice and I’ll be thirty five and I’ll have missed a couple of years.”
I said, “A couple of years? Do you know what happened? Did you ever figure it out that Jesus only practiced for thirty-six months? And for two thousand years the planet is still changing based on the spiritual adjustment he made on this planet? He brought people to an understanding of one god, one cause, one cure, one correction. Don’t you understand that you and I have brought the missing link of man physically and spiritually together? That you can literally reunite man? That that house divided that we’ve lived with all our life does not have to be anymore.
That when you make that thrust and that adjustment man physically and spiritually become one again for the first time in the history of this planet? Do you understand this is what you do? Or are you living in this little finite world of making an adjustment to get a fee, to get a buck, to make a payment? Good god what limitations we force ourselves into.
Seek first the kingdom ? the chiropractor has the key to the kingdom. The kingdom of absolute freedom and absolute health. The ability to atone a planet. Bring it back into alignment with its universe. Oh?but you will pay a price.
You’ll have to give up all the things that fail in order to achieve success. You’ll have to stop doing the things that don’t work, in order to achieve success. Somebody asked me once, I did practice seminars for the ICA in the mid 80’s, and they said, “Ian, how do you see four hundred people a day?” And I said, “One at a time. You start early and you finish late. When you leave the office you leave three tracks, your heels and your ass. Because you are physically bushed. You’re beat. You’re tired.
But I’ve seen myself get in the car and drive the forty five minute ride home that I used to take and the tears would run down my face for forty five minutes. Because I was gone. I was gone. I didn’t even know I had an ass. I was up in the spirit somewhere just grooving?man I used to sing all the way home, I had a spiritual awakening going home every night.
That’s what it’s all about. It’s called living in the zone. The zone of spiritual freedom. Unlimited physical being. When you make that adjustment, boy let me tell you they get well quick when you’re gone. If you adjust with a limited mind, you get limited results. If you know that you’re restoring the physical body with the spirit that created it, you get unlimited results. Faster results, happier patients, greater impact. And all of a sudden the planet starts to come to your door. They want to know what it is you got. What makes you so happy? Why are you so joyous and the rest of us are in fear and anxiety? For we live a life without power. We live a life with fear.
And you walk through your life and you say, “Why are these people suffering so much?” They’re suffering because you haven’t told them. They’re suffering because you haven’t adjusted them. They’re suffering because you haven’t set them free.
Having been through this weekend, you can never go back. For those of you who go back to your old comfort zone, you will feel a pain like you’ve never felt it before. You will know your potential and you will not reach. You will suffer the agony of a tortured spirit. A human spirit and a human mind having been expanded as you have been over this weekend, can never go back. Your life is different because of this moment. You chose to be here. Nobody forced you. There are no victims in this world, only volunteers. And if your life is not working the way you want it to then stop volunteering for failure. Choose to pay the price. See the difference in the world we live in.
William Wallace said that some people never find a reason for living, or let alone a reason for dying. Through your efforts, through your understanding, through your spirit the world can once again choose freedom and life.
Thank you very much ? love ya.
Free at last, free at last, Thank God Almighty ? I am free at last.
Meet a Chiropractor - Nick Baker of Modesto
Thursday, July 24th, 2008By Daria Belov
Chiropractors have been practicing in the state of California since the early 1900s. While big cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, and San Francisco, are home to a great number of chiropractors, one can find chiropractors practicing in nearly every city and county located within the state, including Stanislaus County. Modesto, California is located in the County of Stanislaus, and it’s the practice location for Dr. Nick J. Baker, a second-generation chiropractor.
I interviewed Dr. Baker so we could know more about his practice and what it’s like to be a chiropractor in Modesto, California. It’s not the coastal beach community of San Clemente, but it’s our second interview in a row, featuring a California chiropractor practicing the Gonstead protocol. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Nick Baker.
Dr. Nick J. Baker — Baker Family Chiropractic Center
2150 Scenic Drive Modesto, CA 95350 — 209-527-8560
PC: How was it that you got started in the field of chiropractic?
NB: I have been around chiropractic my whole life. My dad is a practicing chiropractor so I have been getting adjusted since day 1. I believe everyone should be adjusted with or without symptoms. It would make this world a better place. Wasnâ??t that B.J. Palmerâ??s â??The Big Ideaâ?? Everyone should read it.
PC: You’re located not a far distance from two chiropractic colleges. Did you visit the schools and what motivated you to choose the one that you did?
NB: After visiting and talking to people at all the chiropractic schools in California I realized it didnâ??t matter which school I attended but rather that I got out as soon as possible. I ended up choosing Life West because a good, same minded friend was attending.
PC: Life West has been a well reviewed school according to some graduates. I understand they offer a well-rounded education and don’t push their students into any specific type of practice mindset. What’s the main focus in your chiropractic office?
NB: Our office focuses on detecting and removing vertebral subluxation. We use full spine x-ray and Gonstead protocol. We also utilize SOT blocks and activator when necessary.
PC: That is the second time this week I heard from a California chiropractor utilizing Gonstead protocol. Sound like your office focuses more on fixing problems rather than masking symptoms, how do you set up methods for people to be able to pay for care?
NB: We use cash plans in our office which focus on stabilization and correction and not temporary relief. People do utilize care credit occasionally and personal injury cases are accepted. Our patients bill their own insurance if covered at all to keep our fees reasonable.
PC: We know you’re in Northern California, what’s your office location like?
NB: Our office sits alongside Dry Creek on the east side of Modesto. Directly behind the office is a beautiful park which has everything from tennis to dirt bike tracks to Frisbee golf. A great place to bring a family to spend a day. While Modesto has no beach it is centrally located 2 hours from Santa Cruz and 2 1/2 hours from Tahoe. 45 minutes away you have 5-6 large lakes to go fishing, and boating. 10 minutes out of town and you are in beautiful California country.
PC: Sounds like you have access to many places in the NorCal area. How about your own community, what kind of involvement is going on in Modesto?
NB: Right now we are actively involved in our community in several ways. We set up a kiosk one weekend a month at the mall and talk to people. This on average introduces 82 people to chiropractic in our office. We set up booths at family events such as the county fair, earth day, Ceres Street Fair and Hughson Fruit and Nut Festival. These events get chiropractic into the community as well as patients into the office. The more you greet, the more you meet, the more you treat. Own that one. Every Wednesday we give a health class at 6:15 which lasts an hour. Anyone can attend and itâ??s mandatory for new patients. If they understand what chiropractic is then they can better explain it to friends and family.
PC: Wow, you guys aren’t messing around. I think it was the late Ian Grassam that said (in reference to Californian nut festivals) “if you’re going to be a nut, you may as well be a big nut.” No doubt more more people could benefit from improved health and wellness with the knowledge they gain from attending chiropractic offices offering health classes. Besides your Wednesday night events, what’s the Modesto community claim to fame?
NB: Our communities claim to fame is agriculture like grapes and almonds. We also have a classic car culture which brings a “graffiti night” once a year. We have a main strip which goes through the center of town and everyone cruises their classic cars. Modesto has a lot of blue collar, hard working people that keep Californiaâ??s fed and moving forward.
PC: There’s a good amount of young adults on the Internet seeking information about chiropractic education, since you’ve been out in practice are there any particular schools you’d recommend?
NB: The one school I would highly recommend would be Sherman.
PC: A student reporter from Modesto Junior College or someone from the Modesto Bee visits your chiropractic office to get a scoop on what it is you do. What’s your 30 second reply?
NB: If a reporter asked “What is it you do?” I would say, we help people get well and stay well by removing interference from their nervous system. We help families be healthy. We are serving our community the best way we know how. Through chiropractic. Can I mention we have fun doing it as well?
PC: Makes me want to visit your office! Last question, anything we haven’t covered that you’d like to mention?
NB: I would like to say it is my personal mission to help as many people I can through Chiropractic care. At the age of 27 my mission is just starting and is in full swing. When I am not in the office or doing a talk I am still a chiropractor 100% of the time. You never know when the opportunity to change a life for the better will present itself. ADIO! Dr. B.
PC: Thanks for being a part of our Planet Chiropractic interview series Dr. Baker. It’s great to see chiropractors so excited about serving their communities and building on that big idea. Here is to many wonderful years in practice.
Do you know an exceptional chiropractor (practicing anywhere in the world) Planet Chiropractic should be interviewing? Tell them to add their office contact information to the growing list of comments on this Chiropractors blog post. That way our writing staff can then contact them and help spread the word. « Previous Entries
