Iron Hill Criterium
You are cordially invited to join Paoli Chiropractic Group on Saturday, July 10th as we share in the excitement of the 6th annual Iron Hill Criterium Bike Race! The Criterium is just a few miles away, on the main streets of West Chester.
"The streets of downtown West Chester will explode with excitement as hundreds of cyclists race through this challenging circuit at speeds in excess of 35mph! Be part of the crowd cheering-on the national and local athletes as they push themselves to the limits of their ability. Three mettle-testing races - plus one for the kids, too! The action begins and ends at the intersection of Gay and High Streets, home of the title sponsor Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant" (www.ironhilltwilightcriterium.com).
"Make it a day with the family! Spend the day discovering the charm of historic downtown with its endless array of boutiques, shops and interesting architecture. Enjoy the broad selection of restaurants; no matter whether you're looking for - a gourmet dinner or a slice of delicious pizza. Explore the Community Festival; join in the fun at the Market Street Block Party" (www.ironhilltwilightcriterium.com).
Chiropractic Pearls
“In our randomized, controlled trial, we compared the effectiveness of manual therapy, physical therapy, and continued care by a general practitioner in patients with nonspecific neck pain. The success rate at seven weeks was twice as high for the manual therapy group (68.3 percent) as for the continued care group (general practitioner). Manual therapy scored better than physical therapy on all outcome measures. Patients receiving manual therapy had fewer absences from work than patients receiving physical therapy or continued care, and manual therapy and physical therapy each resulted in statistically significant less analgesic use than continued care.”
