April, 2014 – A Gentle Approach to Chiropractic

Banzai Wellness

“I Never Knew the Problem Was in my Head and Neck”

A Precise and Gentle Approach to Structural Correction Comes to the Palm Beaches

By Dr. Chung

For years chiropractic has been a great source of relief for people suffering with back pain. It has come a long way from the days where it was considered unscientific quackery. It has even evolved to the point where chiropractors have developed different areas of focus. Most chiropractors practice what is known as traditional chiropractic. These are the ones most people think about when they have neck pain and back pain from an accident or fall, and they do a great job in getting people relief of their pain. I should know, I was one at one point.

While I was helping a lot of people get out of acute pain, I had a heart for people who suffered with chronic problems. I wanted to find a way to help more who had been having problems for months and years with no real long term solution. That’s when I decided to focus my practice on Structural Correction of the head and neck using the NUCCA Protocol.

What is NUCCA?

NUCCA is an extremely gentle and precise corrective procedure that takes the popping, twisting, and cracking out of the equation. While many chiropractic approaches focus primarily on increasing motion to the spine, a doctor who does NUCCA is focused on restoring the normal structural position of the spine so that it can stay in place.

The reason it works is because the way the head and neck affect the brainstem. When the top part of the neck shifts out of place, it starts to put stress on the muscles and ligaments of the spine, as well as the blood vessels, and nerves that go in and out of the spinal cord. While it can certainly cause neck pain, when the brainstem and spinal cord are affected, it can cause Secondary Conditions like chronic pain, migraines, vertigo, and TMJ/facial pain. This small shift is known as the Atlas Displacement Complex (ADC) also known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex. ADC is usually caused by things like falls, sports injuries, bad lifting technique or even accidents as slow as 15 mph. However, ADC can happen and last without symptoms for months, or even years.

In order to identify the presence of ADC, a full Structural Chiropractic Examination is necessary. Rather than relying just on our hands, we use a laser aligned upper cervical X-ray set up to get precision views of the upper neck. We also use thermographic and myographic technology to assess the condition of the nervous system. These tools allow us to create substantial changes in a short amount of time while being very gentle with our care.

No matter what the condition is, Structural Chiropractic is looking to build long term stability to the mechanics of the spine. We do this by taking Post X-rays and reassessment scans to verify that we have changed the spine and achieved our end goal. Once you’re there, we’ll teach you the best ways to keep it there. We aren’t here to make people dependent or addicted to adjustments, but to get you to the point where you can get your spine tuned up near the same frequency as a dentist.

6th Annual Gratitude House Gala a Stunning Success

One-of-a-kind treatment center raises $75,000 during New York, New York inspired evening featuring Darryl Strawberry as Keynote Speaker

(West Palm Beach, FL – April 10, 2014) 160 caring people gathered together for an inspiring evening March 29 during the 6th Annual Gratitude House Gala at the Four Seasons Palm Beach. Moving music and touching stories highlighted the fun-filled evening, which raised $75,000 in support of the Level II licensed treatment center for women. Darryl Strawberry, former outfielder for the New York Yankees, shared a powerful message of personal change during his keynote address.

Guests began the evening with delicious passed hors d’oeuvres while bidding on selected silent auction items, and participating in a fabulous, winner’s choice raffle for luxury vacation packages. Following the meet and greet, attendees gathered in the dining hall where they were served a sumptuous dinner and dessert while being serenaded by the luminescent voice of Alex Bach. Pastor Tracy Strawberry led the invocation, which was followed by the Outstanding Service Award presentation by gala committee member Lynn Gentithes.

Gratitude House Executive Director Linda Kane thanked everyone for their support and made the exciting announcement about this year’s opening of the newly-named Mandel-Palagye Child Care Center and Gentithes Nursery for the Mothers and Infants in Treatment Together (MITT) program. Linda then introduced a current member of the MITT program who gave a heartfelt story of how the program has saved her life, and given her a second chance with her family.

Following the Call from the Heart message by committee member Richard Wolfe, Co-Chairman Kim Koslow introduced keynote speaker Pastor Darryl Strawberry. He spoke frankly about his life as an addict and how each person was put on the Earth to help one another. The uplifting and inspiring message was followed by the drawing for raffle winners by gala committee member Bea Sallabi.

The 6th Annual Gratitude House Gala Co-Chairs are Christina Goode and Kim Koslow. Honorary Chairs include Margaret Donnelley and Mary Campbell. Dinner Committee members are Tom and Lynn Gentithes, Cheryl Abuiso, Lavinia Baker, Elle DuPree, Claire Everett, Tom and Judy Kane, Stephanie Kelly, Kristen Kernohan, Mo Maynor and Bill DeMott.

(West Palm Beach, Fla.)  Recently, Hanley Center Foundation’s 19th Annual Family Picnic raised critical funds for Hanley Center’s prevention and education programs.  Held under a ringside tent at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington on a perfect spring day, the benefit offered the opportunity for families to come together for a day of activities for all ages – a key way to prevent future substance abuse, according to Family Picnic co-chairman, Val Perez.

“We know that spending time with your children today helps you stay connected tomorrow.”  Seventy-two percent of kids in families who don’t eat dinner together are more likely to use tobacco, alcohol and drugs. We hope the families who attended the Picnic saw it as the perfect opportunity to spend a really fun day together and reinforce that family time is time well spent, all while benefiting a really important cause.”

The day’s line up of events also included VIP seats for world-class equestrian show jumping, animal encounters, crafts, a kid-themed silent auction and a family-focused luncheon — marking the Hanley Center Foundation’s 19th year of raising funds for substance abuse prevention efforts in local schools.

The Family Picnic committee was led by chairmen Lisa and Dan Thomas, with child chairmen, Jack and Whitney; co-chairmen Denise Groo and Val Perez; honorary chairmen Dorothy and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, with child honorary chairmen and grandsons, Landon Branch and Noah LoFaso; and honorary media chairwomen Roxanne Stein, WPTV NewsChannel 5 and Deena Lang, WRMF 97.9. The Family Picnic event committee included: Noberto Azqueta and Robin Wheeler Azqueta, Jack Barrett, Krista Basore, Sally D. Chester, R.N.; Bill and Dena Foman, Mike Gelin, Charles and Lisa Gerardi, Karen Holloway, Suzanne and Michael Holmes, Lauren and Daniel Lieberman, Kelly LoFaso, Jennifer Marcone, Michelle and John McGovern, Denise Meers, Elizabeth Parker, Michele Poole, John Riordan, Nicky Skolnick,  Tom and Chris Streit, Jim and Cassidy Sullivan,  Karen Vaughn and Lauren Walker.

Hanley Center is a nonprofit residential substance abuse treatment center established by the Hanley family as a community resource nearly 30 years ago.  Mary Jane and Jack Hanley started with the goal of bringing quality substance abuse treatment to the southeast.  The community rallied behind them to initially build Hanley Center, and it has become a vital community pillar and national trailblazer for the recovery industry in the years since. Hanley Center has led the treatment industry as a pioneer– with older adult and boomer programs setting a hallmark for effective treatment and the industry standard for treating those populations today.

Now part of the Caron Treatment Centers network, Caron and Hanley comprise one of the largest and most comprehensive nonprofit addiction treatment providers in the country, focused on a 12-Step recovery program with a powerful clinical component. In South Florida, Caron and Hanley Treatment Centers operate lifesaving addiction treatment centers at Hanley Center, Caron Ocean Drive and Caron Renaissance in Palm Beach County; and Gate Lodge in Vero Beach.  For more information on Caron and Hanley Treatment Centers, or future local events, please call (561) 841-1048 or visit www.hanleycenter.org.

National Tour Wraps Up the 

Kravis Center’s Kravis On Broadway 2013/2014 Season

 
Limited Engagement April 29 – May 4
(West Palm Beach, FL – April 8, 2014) The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts announces the arrival of the national tour of the Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, inspired by the electrifying true story, opening April 29 – May 4. The musical hit is the final production in the Kravis on Broadway 2013/2014 season. Tickets are on sale now.
The international Tony® Award-Winning musical, Million Dollar Quartet is set on December 4, 1956, when an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll” who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon, gathered the four legendary musicians at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening became known as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll jam sessions in history.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal, humorous banter and celebrations featuring timeless hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “See Ya Later, Alligator,” “Fever,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and more.
Portraying these icons are, James Barry as Carl Perkins, John Countryman as Jerry Lee Lewis, Tyler K. Hunter as Elvis Presley and Scott Moreau as Johnny Cash. Vince Nappo plays the “Father of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Sam Phillips.  The cast also features Kelly Lamont as Dyanne, and musicians Patrick Morrow (Fluke, drums) and Corey Kaiser (Jay Perkins, bass). Rounding out the company are: Andrew Frace, Robby Kipferl, Stephanie Lynne Mason, Sean McGibbon, David Sonneborn, and H. Bradley Waters.
The show is directed by Eric Schaeffer and features a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. The design team includes: Derek McLane (scenic design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Kai Harada (sound design) and Chuck Mead (musical arrangements and supervision).
When the Broadway production opened in April 2010, critics and audiences leapt to their feet in unanimous praise. The New York Times called the show, “a buoyant new musical that whips the crowd into a frenzy,” New York Magazine labeled it, “a dazzling raucous spectacle that sounds like a million bucks,” and NY1 called it, “90 minutes of platinum grade entertainment.” The musical continued its successful New York engagement at New World Stages through June 2012.
The longest-running musical production in Chicago’s history, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET opened in 2008 and continues to perform to packed houses at the Apollo Theatre. The West End production played at the Noël Coward Theatre in London in 2011, and a Las Vegas production began performances at Harrah’s Showroom in Las Vegas in February 2013.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET won a Tony Award® for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and received a Tony Award® nomination for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical (Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux). The show received an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical, a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Musical Revue and three Drama League nominations including Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished Performance.
