Dwight Freeney: Superbowl hopeful, using chiropractic to heal ankle

Dwight Freeney's ankle injury is a major story leading into this weekend's superbowl. Though the Colts have kept their cards close to the chest on the whole matter, some details have leaked as to what they are doing to treat the issue.

We do know that the Colts are very active with their treatments and Freeney is using some methods that have helped him in the past. The main one is Dr. Leon Mellman, Freeney's Chiropractor, is making sure not only his ankle is getting the proper care, but is also monitoring how his newly guarded walk is effecting the rest of his body. Most notably how his lower back could be adversely affected due to his newly acquired limp.

Freeney's injury is being treated as any other low ankle sprain would be in the NFL with some minor tweaks. Although he was seen in a boot very recently, he spoke openly about keeping the motion in the ankle joint to promote healing. Very recently this became common place in joint surgeries; where immediately following the surgery, the joint is put into passive motion to prevent adhesion buildup and promote a quicker recovery. Freeney was spotted walking the beach without his boot on, most likely advised by team doctors for the same reason: a quicker recovery. Reported by Houston Sports Medicine ExaminerJohn Cybulsk

Maximized Living has teamed with USA Judo to deliver a holistic, whole-athlete approach to wellness that incorporates chiropractic principles, balanced nutrition, mental preparedness and exercise programs for building strength, speed and endurance on the mat.

 "At USA Judo we're constantly looking for innovative, pro-active approaches to train for top performance and that's what Maximized Living provides in health care," said USA Judo CEO Jose H. Rodriguez.

USA Judo and Maximized Living have selected an elite group of specialized doctors skilled in working with world class athletes from its network of more than a thousand affiliated health experts nationwide.  These ML Doctors will work closely with USA Judo's sports medicine staff at national training events, camps and competitions.

With this agreement, Maximized Living becomes the Official Wellness and Chiropractic Partner for USA Judo. Also, USA Judo joins the Wellness Advisory Council, recently established by USA Wrestling and Maximized Living, exclusively for Maximized Living certified doctors to provide chiropractic, nutrition and comprehensive wellness programs to these elite athletes.

 "We're very excited to be part of USA Judo's performance team. Any athlete competing in a high impact sport needs wellness, including chiropractic care, so Judo is a great fit for what the Maximized Living Wellness Advisory Council is all about," said Ben Lerner, a former all-American wrestler and founder of Maximized Living. "What makes this an even greater opportunity for us is that judo is more than just a sport - it's also a time honored tradition, an art, and an activity that improves body, mind, and spirit. "We're very committed to helping our USA Judo athletes compete at the highest level, sustain far fewer injuries, recover faster, and win more medals."

Florida-based Maximized Living provides programs and certifications on their "Five Essentials": chiropractic care to maximize nerve flow; nutrition; detoxification; exercise; and mental wellness.

"This is about making our athletes stronger and faster," Rodriguez said. "This is about giving them the stamina and strength to last longer on the mat and perform at their pinnacle over more seasons."

 "In addition to working with USA Judo's world class athletes, we are committed to supporting grass roots efforts in getting our youth and parents engaged in both the sport and the principles of lifelong wellness," said Maximized Living President Shel Hart. "Maximized Living's comprehensive Wellness Program and network of North American Doctors combined with the discipline and physical/mental conditioning through USA Judo are a winning formula."

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..
We just held our best makeover ever. Those of you that were there saw an amazing line up of healers dedicated to making the world a better place. We started our day with two world class athletes at a wrestling clinic at Heritage High School right here in Vancouver, Washington. Coach Mac was incredible from Heritage and his track record of training and coaching Olympians is awesome. I was in AWWWW, just watching Mr. Lee Kemp, 3 time world champion, and hearing his life story was breathtaking. It was an unbelievable honor to spend the day with him. Ms. Leigh Jaynes, who is training relentlessly for the 2012 Olympic team, was a refreshing spirit. She is the true American Hero and what a great person. I know she will take Gold in 2012 in London please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  (Makeover PICTURES)

Many of you left going WOW where do I start or what do I do? My first goal of the makeover was to get you aware that the current health model is not working. I am currently reading Dr. Weston Price’s book “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.” An Eye opening story of the decline of human health and well being. After this weekend, it is even clearer to me that most people have no clue on what to do to get well and to stay well. 95% of all heath care dollars are spent on treating sickness and diseases. Only 5% is spent on health. That needs to change. Currently the average American spends approximately 5% on the promotion of health and wellness. This must change and is the entire focus of what we do and all the Maximized Living doctors’ main goal is to get you WELL and Keep you there for the REST of your life, not just when you have a health crisis or challenge.

I was watching CNN the other day at the gym on the treadmill and they were showing what the average American spends on health insurance each year. I was blow-away to find that it was over $15,000 per year and with the “New Proposed” plan in 2016 it will be in excess of 25,000.00. Many people are forced to get health insurance by an employer as a “benefit” but have to use the companies program. One of my patients said he is paying over $1,500 per month on a health insurance policy that he and his family rarely uses and he can’t get out of it unless he leaves his job. Paul Zan Pilsner wrote a book about what to do with insurance and I highly suggest you read it and apply the principals to your health and life.

Current trends show 30% of American obese and 60% overweight, what are we to do? With kids being sicker than ever and parents stressed more than ever, where do we start? Reducing the chemical stress burdens on your body is a great place to start. Anderson Cooper recently posted a video called, “Toxic Brew”. It is all about the chemical burdens being put on our bodies daily. You will get a glimpse of how all the “unregulated” and regulated chemicals are degenerating us at an alarming rate.

During the Maximized Living Makeover at the Vancouver, Washington Church of Christ I talked about the toxic top 10. I posted on my face book page, “Who wants to know about the toxic top ten?” Many people replied, “YES”, so here it is.
