EDITOR'S MEMO
Ladies & Gentlemen, I am very excited to present to you this March issue of The American Chiropractor Magazine! We have finally caught up with one of the legends of sports chiropractors, Dr. Nick Athens, whom I remember reading about when contemplating a career in chiropractic so many years ago! As you can see from the cover, Dr. Athens is with longtime patient and Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana! Dr. Athens recently released a book, To Health with You!, to help educate patients on their journey to great health. Turn to page 34 to read this exclusive interview, “NFL Chiropractor Shares Secrets to Patient Success!”
Then, read about several of the different types of shockwave therapy devices at your disposal, in “How to Choose the Right Shockwave Machine for Your Practice,” written by Dr. Dan Ruitenbeck. Dr. Dan has a wealth of information that he puts out for you on this versatile device. Supported by studies for plantar fasciitis, epicondylitis, wrists, knees, and even lower back, studies continue to show a positive impact with many of the conditions you treat and a summative effect for those that you are working on today. Flip to page 30 now to learn what can be an important add-on for you in the coming months.
Also, don’t miss Dr. Frank Liberti’s article on page 44, “Personal Injury Beyond Adjustments.” Reporting and documenting patient injury is a science, and if you aren’t taking advantage of experts who have mastered it, you are sure to be left behind in this field.
Another outstanding issue, read this one cover to cover!
Thank you for all you do for chiropractic, and keep up the great work!
Until next month,
Joe Busch
