It was bound to happen, really it was pretty much inevitable. The word "wellness" has officially been corrupted. See a few years ago everyone wanted to be "healthy." The concept of health was an exciting idea whereby the body, mind and spirit were existing in a sense of harmony. Big business found out that people were craving "health" and started to market into peoples wants - over time they released a flood of supposed "health" items many completely unrelated to the idea of "health" (an example of this would be a chewing gum that was advertised as "healthy") So the flood of "healthy" things continued to mount, toothpaste was rebranded, colored flavored fluids were declared smart and healthy, colored, sugared chemically enhanced kids cereal were declared "heart healthy" and given their own fancy logos so the public could easily identify the new "healthy" cereals. (I thinks this begs the question if the new product is new and improved what was the prior product- old and inferior?) Anyway, on with the story, so health became just an extra word attached to anything and eventually people decided that they didn't want to be just healthy - they wanted to be well. Wellness is defined as an actively sought goal of healthy well being, or a state of 100% function of all areas of the body and the maintenance of that.) Anyway so people no longer just want to be healthy they want wellness. Big business has found this out and are scrambling to corrupt the word for sales. Today's example of this is the DRUG store (thing toxic chemical peddler) Rite Aid. they have introduced their new Wellness+ card. I want to state that almost nothing available at that store will contribute to wellness, not the pills, potions, lotions, creams, or salves. The store sells toxic drugs that is not wellness. The aisles of chips, pop, gum and candy are not leading to wellness. Beer and wine not leading to wellness. Be forwarned reader that the use of wellness is merely to make a sale not a true position of that store.
Yours in Health,
Dr. Brian

Sports and Athletes
Chiropractors have been giving athletes the edge in sports for quite some time. Chiropractors are quite commonly found to be “team doctors” for many professional, college, high school, and elementary school teams. (Brackney Chiropractic is the Official Chiropractor for the Detroit Ignition - Detroit's indoor professional soccer team. Many successful athletes have banked on chiropractic care to enhance performance and health i.e.: Lance Armstrong, Ian Thorpe, Joe Naimith, Muhammed Ali, Arnold Swarznegger, Donovan Bailey, John McEnroe, Dan O’Brien, Ivan Lendle and countless others.
Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn’t dream of competing without first getting a chiropractor check-up. Research has even shown that on the average, chiropractic care increases athletic performance by 17%. When an athlete knows and understands the difference it can make, they gladly have regular chiropractic care.
If athletic performance is increased by this amount due to an increase in nerve function, then doesn’t it make sense that regular life performance would increase by the same amount. This means that people can simply perform better in their normal daily duties.
An increase in performance is why 75% of the San Francisco 49ers receives chiropractic care regularly. It is also why over 20 chiropractors were present in the last Olympics and why chiropractors are consistently high athletic performers.
How about you? Do you want a winning edge in sports or in life in general? Sports injuries nearly always jar and misalign the spinal column: a blow to the ribs, legs, feet, head, shoulder or torso always radiates to the center of the body. That’s why a chiropractic check-up is needed when you are injured, regardless of the nature of the injury.
If an injury is serious enough to need medical care, the spine is almost always damaged as well. Medical doctors are simply not trained to locate and correct spinal subluxations. That is the realm of the doctor of chiropractic. If your sports team would like an edge and is in need of a “team doctor” give us a call we are interested in working with you.
