ACA Announces Sponsors for Upcoming Wellness Sessions
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) today announced that The Vitality Depot—a supplier of innovative products at extraordinary value to chiropractic clinics across the U.S. and Canada—along with Revelar, the free radical testing company, and GreensFirst, the super-nutrient supplementation supplier, are co-sponsoring two of the association’s upcoming educational sessions promoting wellness.
The first session, “Chiropractic Wellness - Health Promotion and Disease Prevention,” will be held on Sunday, Feb. 13 in Washington, D.C. This event will take place the day before the 2011 National Chiropractic Legislative Conference (NCLC) with the Chiropractic Summit.
The other session will be a part of ACA’s Certified Chiropractic Wellness Specialist program. The session will begin on March 5 in Raleigh, N.C.
Last year, ACA partnered with the National Wellness Institute (NWI) to create a wellness certification program for chiropractic physicians. After completing the program, participants can become Certified Chiropractic Wellness Specialists. ACA and NWI have created an evidence-based program, consisting of four 10-hour modules, to give chiropractic physicians the information and tools necessary to act as wellness coaches to their patients.
The upcoming session’s first module, “Principles of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention,” will be taught in March. The session’s remaining modules will be taught one at a time, one weekend each month between April and June. All of the modules will be taught at the North Carolina Chiropractic Association’s offices in Raleigh.
“Many factors contribute to enhancing a person’s overall wellness, and receiving chiropractic care, along with diet, exercise and lifestyle recommendations from a chiropractic physician is a good place to start,” said ACA President Rick McMichael, DC. “What the patient does at home, day-to-day with these recommendations is key. Wellness is very much about healthy habits. The Vitality Depot, Revelar and GreensFirst provide supplies for doctors and patients to enhance overall wellness both in the clinic and at home, and ACA is pleased to have them sponsor our upcoming wellness sessions.”
"The American Chiropractic Association’s new program to train and certify chiropractic physicians in wellness will eventually be viewed as one of the major inflection points for our profession,” said Mark Mandell, DC, MBA, president of The Vitality Depot. “The Vitality Depot supports this new initiative and encourages all chiropractic physicians to attend one or all of the ACA’s wellness programs and become a part of this fast-growing health care movement."

SpiderTech is the perfect complement to patient care. It is now available in all tape forms with learning tools at your fingertips. Vitality Depot's SpiderTech is the Ultimate Kinesiology Tape Resource!
SpiderTech kinesiology tape is one of the hottest products to ever hit the chiropractic market. How does it work with the adjustment to help patients? Three ways: Stimulate the neurosenses, improve microcirculation and structural support. Read on to learn more and to see a Special Offer to try SpiderTech tape for yourself!
Stimulate the Neurosenses : The most common reason chiropractors use SpiderTech tape is to help hold the adjustment by stimulating the neurosenses.
· SpiderTech tape is pre-stretched tape that activates the pressure receptors when applied to the skin.
· The normal biomechanics of a body region are disrupted by the nociceptive or pain messages that run along the A-delta and C-fibers.
· The hypothesis is that the skin's pressure receptors run through the faster nerve fibers to the dorsal horn cell, thereby overriding the nociceptive nerve messages on the slower A-delta and C-fibers.
· The result is improved biomechanical function and decreased nociception.
Improve Microcirculation: SpiderTech tape can also be applied to an area that is swollen. The pre-stretched tape provides enough contraction of the skin to lift it and allow the lymphatics to drain better in the area. This allows for improved micro-circulation and can decrease localized swelling.
Structural Support: Finally, SpiderTech tape can be used for structural support of a joint. Unlike standard athletic tape that does not stretch and 'locks' a joint into a fixed position, SpiderTech tape has a stretch that allows a joint to retain a larger percent of motion range.
