Theprogram is endowed by a grant fromBioFreeze, maker of the widely usedherbal pain reliefointment.“A major aspect ofany sports-orientedchiropractic practiceis rehabi l it at ion ,because rehab isessential to gettingthe athlete back onthe field,” says Dr.Nelson, who practicedin Salt Lake City prior to moving toSt. Louis.

Rehab can get them to 65percent improvement and beyond. Inan educational situation like Logan, wehave interns who have the time in clinicto handle the labor-intensive aspects ofrehabilitation, and who can be trainedto do it correctly and effectively. So,our goal for this program is to bring aresource to DCs throughout the stateand the region – a place where a doctor can send a patient whohits a plateau.”Patients enrolled in therehab program will beevaluated regularly forprogress as they workto move through threephases, beginning withnon -we i g ht- b e a r i n gexercise designed toimproved flexibility andrange of motion. Theythen will advance into the second phase,encompassing structured weight-bearingexercise programs, and into a third phasethat will include aerobic activity.The clinically supervised rehab workwill take place in the physiologicaltherapeutics room in the on-campusMontgomery Health Center, and withexercise equipment in the weighttraining room of Logan’s William M.Harris Sports/Wellness Center.The fourth phase of the rehab program,a wellness measurement instrument, willbe used to help guide rehab patientsin positive lifestyle changes that willimprove their health, and as a standalone program.“The wellness component can standalone because it can be used for veryhigh-level wellness assessment and healthmanagement for peak performance,” saysDr. Nelson. “This tool can predict manyaspects of anyone’s health and diseaseprocesses.” He believes the programcould potentially interest any group withcommon health issues, individuals withdemanding, high-level jobs, and seriousamateur athletes whose activities makeheavy demands on their bodies. Heplans to offer the program to a varietyof organizations in the St. Louis region,including corporations, small businessesand churches.“Our approach to rehab is a global one,”says Dr. Nelson. “Although some of theexercises are similar to those that patientsexperience in physical therapy, we areintegrating them into a comprehensiveprogram that looks at the whole patient.We also target segments of the spine andtheir motion very specifically in order tohelp expand the patient’s range of motionin each segment where limitations exist.By focusing on that goal, we improvethe possibility of advancing the patienttoward a normal activity level.”“It is exciting at thisstage of my life todo something that Ithink will make a realdifference in the futureof the chiropracticprofession.”-Dr. Laney Nelson
