Dr. Todd & Eugena Austin are now the Official Healthcare Providers for the Springfield Foxes. Dr. Todd Austin and his wife Eugena Austin, both from Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden are staying busy on the sidelines this summer. That's because they are now the official Doctor of Chiropractic and Licensed Massage Therapist for the 2011 Springfield Foxes football team. The Foxes are currently in their 2nd season as a franchise. This season has brought about some changes. The Foxes are now in a different league, the Mid States Football League (MSFL) and they have undergone a change of venue currently playing their home games at the South Fork High School football field in Kincaid, IL.

The Foxes have 4 home games in Kincaid this summer. Dr. Todd & Eugena from Austin Family Chiropractic will be on the sidelines for all four contests. Dr. Austin has been a diehard football fan for 37 years. Dr. Todd is an Associate Member of the Professional Football Chiropractic Society. That organizations goal is to have a Doctor of Chiropractic available on the sidelines for ever American football team from the NFL all the way down to children's teams. The Foxes are actually a semi-pro team with the age of their players ranging from 18 to 36. According to Dr. Austin "I've always thought it would be an awesome experience to be a DC for a football team ever since I was a Chiropractic College student back in 1990. Now, I've been blessed to have the opportunity with the 2011 Foxes and I'm enjoying every minute of it!"

Dr. Todd has mainly been performing a lot of chiropractic spine and extremity adjustments as well as cold laser therapy to help reduce inflammation and improve range of motion more quickly. Dr. Todd states that "Through three games, I seem to be dealing with primarily shoulder and low back issues". Eugena has been busy massaging many low backs, calf muscles and hamstring muscles. Since the team doesn't have an athletic trainer this season, Dr. Todd and Eugena have also been handling some of the taping, applying ice packs, helping players to stretch out and applying Biofreeze pain relief spray.

The Foxes final regular season home contest with be at 7 PM in Kincaid on Saturday September 10, 2011. For more info, visit

FREE COLD LASER THERAPY SESSION in June 2011

The staff at Austin Family Chiropractic is pleased to announce the 1-year anniversary of the purchase of their newest super-pulsed Cold Laser Therapy machine. They are excited to offer this type of state-of-the-art therapy to the residents of Virden, Girard and the surrounding communities.

The staff at Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL believes that Cold Laser Therapy can produce amazing results. They should know, since their clinic has been serving North Macoupin County with Cold Laser Therapy services since July of 2005 when the clinic purchased it’s first three Cold Laser Therapy machines. This month they are offering ONE FREE LASER THERAPY SESSION to anyone with an indicated condition.

Dr. Austin found out about this super-pulsed cold laser device at a seminar at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO one year ago this month. It turns out that this machine is the very same laser device that the Chicago Blackhawks team trainers use. It’s actually the same laser that helped Jonathan Toews lead the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup championship in 49 years (in 2010) and earn himself the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoff MVP on June 9, 2010.



You see, Toews was struggling with a shoulder injury before the 2010 playoffs began. Thanks to this highly portable Cold Laser Therapy device which was always able to make road trips with the team, Toews not only played in all 22 playoff games, but excelled as well with 7 goals and 22 assists for a total of 29 points! Dr. Austin then realized that he needed to add this cold laser to his clinic’s arsenal of Cold Laser Therapy machines. Austin Family Chiropractic’s new super-pulsed cold laser device arrived during the last week of June 2010.

How does Laser Therapy work? Cold Laser Therapy increases circulation within minutes. It increases range of motion and quickly decreases inflammation too. It inhibits bad prostaglandins, which cause inflammation. It increases serotonin, which decreases pain. In addition, it increases endorphins which make us feel good. And the thing that Dr. Todd Austin gets most excited about is the fact that Cold Laser Therapy actually causes cellular regeneration, which speeds up the healing process.

What are the indicated conditions or applications for Cold Laser Therapy? Laser therapy has a wide spectrum of indicated conditions, to include such things as: Arthritis, Intervertebral Disc Disease (to include a herniated disc in the back or neck), Sprains or Strains, Tendonitis, Bursitis, wound healing, burns, bruises, both pre and post operative, post-fracture repair and post-orthopedic surgery rehabilitation. They have seen excellent response to Cold Laser Therapy in tendonitis (shoulders, elbows), bursitis (shoulders, hips), herniated disc disease in necks and backs, and lots of foot, ankle and knee complaints already in the 1 year that they’ve had their new super-pulsed cold laser machine.

Cold Laser therapy has shown significant benefit in both acute and chronic conditions, so if you hurt for any reason, we highly recommend you try Cold Laser Therapy.

More importantly, Cold Laser Therapy provides relief and the potential to reduce the use of anti-inflammatory pain medications. This is extremely important for people who have kidney or liver problems and offers an alternative therapy that may allow you to live a longer and more pain free life.

The staff at Austin Family Chiropractic knows that Cold Laser Therapy can produce amazing results. Therefore, this month they are offering ONE FREE LASER THERAPY SESSION to anyone with an indicated condition that Dr. Austin believes it could benefit. If you like the results of the Cold Laser Therapy and feel you can benefit from this therapy, then you can purchase a package of six sessions and they will give you an extra session for free. To qualify, this purchase must be made within three business days of your initial free therapy session.

To facilitate this promotion, they have reserved slots in their appointment schedule just for you. Please call Dr. Todd or Eugena today at (217) 965-3100 to schedule your FREE LASER THERAPY SESSION. Your body will thank you!

Austin Family Chiropractic appreciates your continued business. We wish you a happy, healthy and fun summer.

Austin Family Chiropractic now offering Cold Laser Therapy.

*The following article is being reprinted from page 7 of the 8-3-2005 issue of the Virden Recorder.

Laser therapy, which has been around since the 1960's in Europe, is used for all aspects of physical medicine, wound healing and rehabilitation. It has become a locker room staple for European sports teams and during the past five years has slowly been working its way into chiropractic offices in the United States, mainly on the east and west coasts. A Macoupin County Chiropractic Physician, Dr. Todd Austin of Virden, IL is now using this amazing technology in his office. Some of the results are quite staggering!

Austin was first introduced to this laser technology in the summer of 2004 at a chiropractic seminar. He then attended a weekend seminar devoted entirely to laser therapy in March 2005. "I was especially intrigued by the extent of serious shoulder injuries (rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, bursitis, etc.) that I witnessed responding to laser therapy at that seminar." says Austin. "I decided to devote the next few months to learn all that I could about lasers, to find the right laser equipment for my practice, and to save up the money to purchase this technology." And now Dr. Austin has done just that.

His laser equipment which arrived on July 16, 2005, actually consists of three individual laser devices. The first is suited for relaxing any kind of soft tissue injury, as well as promoting lymphatic drainage, while the second is specific for hard tissue problems like bones, joints and nerves (including conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome). The third laser device is used for relaxing muscles as well as performing trigger point therapy and can also be used to perform acupuncture without needles.

Austin has been practicing needle acupuncture since 1993 and sees this 3rd laser as quite a breakthrough. "I love acupuncture, and have performed it for a variety of conditions. But I limit myself to doing three needle acupuncture treatments per day, since it is so time intensive. With laser acupuncture, I can treat each point (usually about 10 acu-points per patient) for just 30 seconds at each acu-point and get the same results."

And here's the kicker... most insurance companies won't pay for needle acupuncture which they consider "experimental", but will cover laser acupuncture which is usually included under the patient's therapy benefits.

"I see this as an awesome opportunity to introduce the benefits of acupuncture to more people throughout central Illinois," Austin explains, "and they won't even have to get stuck with needles."

The lasers that Austin uses are commonly called "cold lasers" or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) because they do not increase the temperature of the tissues that they contact, as compared to much more powerful "hot lasers" which are used for surgical applications in which the objective is to cut or cauterize tissue.



Photo caption: Dr. Todd Austin gave a laser demonstration speech at a local Toastmasters meeting. The speech was called "Lighting up Macoupin County".

Cold laser therapy directs a specialized beam of light to the injury site. On a cellular level this increases local circulation, improves tissue oxygenation and stimulates the production of ATP (the cell's energy blocks), allowing tissue to be more responsive and to heal faster. On a larger scale, cold laser therapy quickly decreases pain, increases range of motion and increases the tissue's ability to heal and handle stress.

Cold laser therapy is exciting for the results it delivers to both doctors and patients. These benefits include:

*Easy to use. Simply turn the laser on and move it over the area of complaint. Research has shown that this protocol alone increases healing time by up to 30 percent, although there are much more advanced protocols for conditions like shoulder injuries.

*Time saving. Patients often feel better within 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

*'Body saver'. The laser prepares the patient for the chiropractic adjustment. It quickly softens tissue and increases range of motion, so the Chiropractic Physician doesn't need to work as hard.

"In the two short weeks we've been using the lasers so far at our clinic, we have treated over two dozen patients with this technology" said Austin. "Most patients are quite impressed with the results. We've had several patients who are low back pain sufferers who reported that when they got up off the treatment table after their laser treatment, their pain was totally gone."

The first lady that used Dr. Austin's lasers for a chronic shoulder problem hadn't had normal right shoulder range of motion in over a year. She reported that her shoulder was pain-free when she got off the treatment table. Two days later, just before her second laser treatment, she informed the doctor that her range of motion not only had returned to normal, but that she had abused her shoulder at work all day with no ill effects whatsoever!

Lasers speak for themselves -- through patients who have experienced their healing effects. For more info on cold laser therapy or to schedule an appointment call Dr. Austin's office at (217) 965-3100 or send e-mail to draustin@royell.net .

Dr. Todd Austin speaks about "Healthy Sleep" on December 2010 LifePath DVD.

Dr. Todd Austin from Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL was the first of five featured experts on the December 2010's monthly LifePath DVD. Dr. Austin, who has been serving the health and wellness needs of North Macoupin County, IL residents since 1996, spoke about "Healthy Sleep".

"Did you know that the position that you sleep in can determine not only how rested you feel in the morning, but can affect your overall health as well?" states Dr. Austin.

In his segment, Austin covered both proper and improper sleeping positions along with a few other tips as well.



Other featured speakers on the December LifePath DVD were Shihan Nico about a breathing technique known as "Centering"; Dr. Dan Pompa, D.C. speaking on "Flu Facts"; Dr. Harlan Sparer, D.C. showing that although nuts are a wonderful snack, they are much healthier when soaked first; and Dr. Jennifer Buonano, D.C. giving some great holiday shopping tips.

LifePath Productions is a chiropractic-friendly video production company from Carefree, Arizona. They produce monthly DVD's that hundreds of Doctors of Chiropractic now show to patients in their waiting rooms. Many D.C.'s also purchase extra DVD's every month to give out to patients and prospective patients, sort of like a video business card. LifePath Productions can be contacted at 1-888-787-8808.



Dr. Austin will be showing the December LifePath DVD off and on during normal business hours this month in Austin Family Chiropractic's reception room. The clinic also has extra copies to give to patients. For more information, Dr. Austin can be contacted at (217) 965-3100.

Back in June 2010, at the Logan College of Chiropractic 75th annual homecoming seminar, I met Robert Smith & Vera Almann who are the co-owners of a chiropractic-friendly production company called "LifePath Productions". They produce professional-quality reception room DVD's for Doctors of Chiropractic. This made perfect sense to me, so I immediately signed up for their service.



I also bounced some ideas off of Bob & Vera, regarding some of the things that I'm truly passionate about, as it pertains to helping myself, my family and my patients to lead healthier and more productive lives. And as a veteran member of Toastmasters, I even completed an Advanced Toastmasters Communication manual a few years ago that was called "Communicating on TV".



Then in mid-September 2010 Bob contacted me, as they were planning to be in my neck of the woods in early October 2010 to film some chiropractic-related segments at Austin Family Chiropractic in Virden, IL.

I thought this was very cool, since they came all the way from Carefree, Arizona!



From my plethora of passionate chiropractic-related interests, Robert narrowed it down to "Proper Sleeping Habits to Maximize your Spinal Health" and "Holistic Tips for Sinus Health". So we shot those two 8 to 10 minute segments when they showed up at my office in North Macoupin County on Thursday October 7, 2010.

Each monthly DVD that LifePath Productions produces for Chiropractic Physicians and their patients consists of five 8 to 10 minute segments as follows:
- three relate to chiropractic
- one relates to some form of stretching or exercise
- one relates to healthy eating




Starting with November 2010, I now purchase extra LifePath DVD's to give out to my patients. Many patients have told me that they enjoy watching them and have already learned alot about different recipes, stretching, yoga, etc.



I just found out 2 days ago that I will be one of the five featured speakers on the December 2010 LifePath DVD. Woo Hoo! For a free copy of the DVD, please contact me at (217) 965-3100 or at draustin@royell.net .

Dr. Austin Receives 'Advanced Clinical Nutrition' Certification.

PHOTO CAPTION:
Virden’s Dr. Todd Austin recently attended a seminar given by Clinical Nutrition pioneer, Dr. Rodger Murphree. The seminar covered natural management of many common medical conditions. Here, Dr. Austin (left) is presented his Advanced Clinical Nutrition Certification by Dr. Murphree.

*************

Dr. Todd W. Austin of Virden recently attended a weekend seminar at Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri on Advanced Clinical Nutrition. The seminar was presented by Dr. Rodger Murphree, DC, CNS. Dr. Murphree is the author of five health-related books. Murphree also writes for several leading health publications. Dr. Murphree was also the past clinical director of a large multi-disciplinary integrated medical practice where he worked side by side with a handful of medical physicians.
Dr. Murphree is recognized as a true pioneer in the growing field of orthomolecular medicine, a system where more emphasis is placed on vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids and herbs, than on the commonly prescribed pharmaceutical medicines.
This third seminar led to Dr. Austin receiving his ‘Advanced Clinical Nutrition’ certification from the Logan College of Chiropractic post-graduate department. This third nutrition seminar covered clinically proven nutritional options for the treatment of infectious diseases (including sinusitis, yeast overgrowth & chronic infections), urological diseases (such as urinary tract infections & benign prostatic hypertrophy) and neurological diseases (which included Bell’s palsy, migraines, tension headaches & Parkinson’s disease).
Dr. Murphree has had over a decade of excellent results treating many medical conditions with natural therapies. Austin has had many great results too, in the seven short months that he has been using Murphree’s protocols. Austin Family Chiropractic now stocks Dr. Murphree’s line of nutritional supplements, as well as his three best-selling books on “Heart Disease”, “Treating and Beating Fibromyalgia” and “Treating and Beating Anxiety & Depression”.
Dr. Austin is a 1993 graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic. His office is located at Austin Family Chiropractic on the West Side of the Virden Square. Austin has been a practicing Chiropractic Physician for 17 years. For more information about chiropractic or clinical nutrition or to schedule a free consultation call (217) 965-3100, e-mail draustin@royell.net or visit the clinic’s website at www.AFCvirden.com .

All LOW LEVEL LASERS are not EQUAL!!!

All LOW LEVEL (or COLD) LASER devices are not created equal. Translation = No one LASER device can cure every condition under the sun. In fact, a few months back while at a post-graduate seminar, I stumbled upon a deal on a great affordably priced LASER device. I was downright giddy about paying almost $2,000 for this Super-pulsed 905 nanometer LASER.

A few minutes later, I was talking to another Chiropractor. I excitedly told him that I was getting ready to plunk down $2,000 for a new LASER. A vendor within earshot spoke up, saying that she had a LASER that her company carried that she would gladly sell me for $2,000. After she explained which LASER she was peddling, a couldn't help but chuckle. It was an ML 830. A veritable toy compared to the LASER devices that I already own. I politely replied "Thanks, but no thanks."

Fast forward to today. I found an ad in a local Macoupin County newspaper advertising how another local DC can cure 'almost everything under the sun' with his new ML 830 LASER. Needless to say, I chuckled again! While it's true that his device will definitely help some people, there will no doubt be a lot of folks that don't respond at all, as an ML 830 just doesn't penetrate deep enough to treat a herniated disc, for example. Wouldn't you know that of the 14 conditions he lists in his ad that this ML 830 will fix, the herniated disc is the first item. Whoops!

The truth is that 5 years ago, when I purchased my first 3 LASER devices, the ML 830 sold for $8,000. After doing my homework for three months, I purchased three lasers that combined cost less than that price. One of which for just $1,800, runs rings around the ML 830.

For example my 808 nanometer LASER can do in 5 minutes (at a possible penetration of 3 centimeters) what the ML 830 would take a nearly 30 minutes to do (depth of penetration of 2 centimeters, but much fewer photons will reach the target tissue in 5 minutes). Of course most Docs don't have time to shine the LASER on the patient for over a half hour, and most patients don't have the time to lay there that long either (especially with a hot low back).

If the target tissue is the Carpal Tunnel, the ML 830 would do a fine job (over time). It wouldn't need to get more than 2 cm deep. If on the other hand, I'm wanting to treat a 350-pound patient which a bulging disc in her lower back, I'll need much more penetration power than the relatively low-powered ML 830 could muster!
This is where my new super-pulsed LASER (with a deeper penetration of 5 cm) comes in super handy.

At Austin Family Chiropractic, what sets our clinic apart from the local LASER competition, is that each patient who receives COLD LASER THERAPY at AFCvirden, is treated with NOT ONE LASER, but rather with the THREE BEST LASERS for his or her particular condition. Thus we're utilizing both:

* continuous & super-pulsed,
* visible red & infrared,
* superficial & deeper penetrating,
* lower (more subtle energy) power & higher power,
* resonating lasers & stimulating lasers.

In other words, (sometimes stubborn) damaged cells and tissues are more apt to respond to AFC's approach!

The Austin Family Chiropractic approach is definitely NOT one-size-fits-all LASER THERAPY!!!

BTW, The cost of the ML 830 has continued to drift downward over the past 5 years. It now retails for $2,000.

In summary, one laser device is much better than zero laser devices. But several LASER devices with many different wavelengths (of light) and power levels to choose from allows for a much more individualized approach to each patients' specific condition.

Our laser treatments are also very affordable as well. In fact, we've helped hundreds of people with them since July of 2005.

Please give us a call at (217) 965-3100 for your free LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY demonstration & consultation. You'll be glad that you did.

More on alternate treatments for Fibromyalgia.

Treating Fibromyalgia With Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is essential for those who suffer from fibromyalgia in order to keep both the spine and muscles from losing too much movement. Because fibromyalgia causes the muscles to tighten up and lose some of their natural flexibility, it results in a global loss of movement in the spine. The loss of movement in the spine results in a neurological reflex that causes the muscles to tighten even further. This vicious cycle will continue over time, eventually leading to increased pain, increased muscle tightness, a loss of movement, even more difficulty sleeping and the development of a veritable plethora of trigger points.

The only option is to continually adjust the spine and keep it moving. It is not uncommon for those with fibromyalgia to be adjusted two to four times per month to keep everything mobile and relaxed. The biggest concern when it comes to treating people with fibromyalgia is that their muscles have a diminished healing ability. For this reason, chiropractic adjustments are usually modified slightly to be more gentle than normal. This helps to decrease the stress on all of the small supporting muscles of the spine, which can be easily injured. It is important when seeking chiropractic care, to make sure that the doctor is familiar with the muscular changes that occur with fibromyalgia so that they can adjust their treatment protocols accordingly.


Treating Fibromyalgia with Cold Laser Therapy

Since poor healing of muscle tissue and chronic pain are characteristic traits of fibromyalgia, laser therapy is an important part of any treatment plan. Two of the major benefits of cold laser therapy are stimulation of tissue healing and decreased sensations of pain.

A 1997 study of 846 people with fibromyalgia reported in the Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine and Surgery demonstrated that two-thirds of the patients experienced improved pain and mobility with cold laser therapy. Another study published in Rheumatology International in 2002, showed that those who received laser therapy had a significant improvement in pain, fatigue and morning stiffness.

According to some FMS experts, the connective and soft tissues of Fibromyalgia patients have less ATP (the energy units that cells utilize) than those of folks that don't suffer from FMS. One of the great things about Cold Laser Therapy, is that the laser light photons cause an increase in ATP at the cellular level. Thus, one more reason that FMS sufferers should be receiving Cold Laser Therapy treatments.


Self-Care for Fibromyalgia

Your day to day lifestyle choices have a tremendous impact on how much impact fibromyalgia will have on your life. The difference between those who take care of themselves and those who do not is tremendous. Those who make lifestyle changes to help their fibromyalgia suffer much less pain, are able to remain more active and have a much higher quality of life than those who do not. If you have fibromyalgia, here are some of the main things that you can do on a daily basis to help your body:


Getting enough good sleep

Getting enough sleep and the right kind of sleep can help ease the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia, but is something that can be hard to get. Many people with fibromyalgia have problems such as pain, restless legs syndrome and brain-wave irregularities that interfere with restful sleep. Insomnia is very common. Although alcohol may help you to relax, it is not recommended before bed as it has been shown to interfere with restful sleep. Some of those with fibromyalgia have found 5-HTP very helpful. It is virtually impossible to heal FMS without enough sleep!


Exercising
Improved fitness through exercise is recommended. Studies have shown that fibromyalgia symptoms can be relieved by aerobic exercise. Though pain and fatigue may make exercise and daily activities difficult, it's crucial to be as physically active as possible. The best way to begin a fitness program is to start with low impact exercises, like walking or swimming. Starting slowly helps stretch and mobilize tight, sore muscles. High-impact aerobics and weight lifting could cause increased discomfort, so listen to your body. The more you can exercise, the better off you will be.


Making changes at work
Many people with fibromyalgia are able to continue working, but they may have to make big changes to do so. It may be necessary to reduce the number of hours at work, find a job that will allow you to have a flexible schedule, or switch to a less physically demanding job. Many people with fibromyalgia require specially designed office chairs, adjustable desks or other adaptations in order to continue working. If you face obstacles at work, such as an uncomfortable desk chair that leaves your back aching or difficulty lifting heavy boxes or files, hopefully your employer will make adaptations that will enable you to keep your job.


Eating well
Foods, just like anything else, have the ability to either stress your body or to help your body heal. Foods that tend to be stressful on the body include: dairy, wheat, corn, as well as anything with monosodium glutamate (MSG), nitrates or nitrites (as are found in processed foods). Several environmental toxins may also contribute to the overall physical stress on your body, therefore large amounts of fish should be avoided as well. It is important that you eat as much clean, organically grown fresh foods as possible. Base your diet around whole foods such as: brown rice, legumes, oats, spelt, rice milk, soy, hormone-free chicken or turkey, roots, nuts and berries.

We hope that the about info is helpful in your search for answers to Fibromyalgia. If we can be of service, please contact us today at (217) 965-3100!
