The year ahead

This year is probably the first time in a long time that we have set an agenda for what we want to promote for the entire year.  This year we are focused on improving the lifestyles of our patients through promoting healthy eating and exercise habits. The classes we have in the office and the new BStrong4Life program are the biggest additions to help us get you on a path for better health. 

We continue to offer the same state of the art chiropractic care, but we have found that for most patients that is not enough.  Attaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the only way to carry on after you are done with care in our office.

To help you get started in our office we will have three more new patient first visit opportunities. Look for our email newsletter for details on when these are being offered.

What does Staker Chiropractic, the Steelers, and the Packers have in common?

We all three utilize the power plate in our training and rehab programs.  I recently read an article in a men's fitness magazine about Pau Gasol and he utilizes the power plate in his training program as well.

The benefits of utilizing effective whole body vibration for training and rehab can not be adequately described in a blog they have to bee seen.  Give us a call to come see what we might be able to add to your training or rehab program.

Healthy Living Classes

Last Tuesday we started a new series of our Healthy for Life healthy eating classes. If you missed it, fear not, it is a 12 week program that you can start anytime in the 12 weeks.  It is based out of Dr. Ray Strand's book Healthy for Life and includes meals cooked out of the low-glycemic meals in minutes cookbook.  Both books are available at the office for purchase.  The class includes a workbook that we provide free of charge.

The class will not meet this Tuesday but will resume next Tuesday, February 8th. Let us know if you are planning to attend.

BStrong4Life

On Friday January 14th we received the machines that make up the Be Strong For Life system. 



We placed the BioDensity unit, part of the BStrong4Life system in what was the massage therapy room.  We moved the massage therapy room up one to the consultation room, and moved the consultation room to another room in the front office.


The BStrong4Life system incorporates usage of the power plate to maximize strength training, as a result we felt like we needed a third power plate to ensure our patients would not see an increase in any idle time in our office. We made a slight re-arrangement of our treatment area to easily accommodate the new power plate.


BStrong4Life is a system to help improve whole body strength through isometric muscle action. Isometric resistance exercises are some of the oldest forms of resistance training and, as some research has found, tend to be more effective than other forms of resistance training. To learn more about this innovative system, give us a call to make an appointment 630-232-6616

Happy New Year!

In January we will be continuing with our Healthy for Life program to teach our patients how to utilize the glycemic index and glycemic load of foods for healthier eating.  Additionally we will be starting the BStrong4Life program at Staker Chiropractic.  This innovative system utilizes simple resistance exercises to significantly improve your strength, stability, and bone density in as little as once a week.  You can learn more about it at http://www.bstrong4life.com/  

It is a great time to be a patient at Staker Chiropractic.  To get started in our office take advantage of our New Year, Get Healthy in 2011 offer. When you make your next appointment mention the Get Healthy in 2011 offer to receive your first visit services, consultation, examination, and any necessary radiographs for $45.  Unfortunately due to medicare law we can not extend this offer to patients with medicare as their primary insurance.

We look forward to see you in the New Year.

Happy New Year
