1 Chiropractic Doctors Association of Hong Kong 香港執業脊醫協會 E-newsletter Sep 2016 Sports Chiropractic in China Olympic at Rio Sport Chiropractic in China This year s delegation is the largest ever: 416 athletes from 20 regions will compete in 26 major sports, including basketball, badminton, gymnastics, and golf. More than three-quarters are making their Olympic debut and join 35 previous Olympic champions, such as Lin Dan, Sun Yang, and Wu Minxia. Noted swimmer Ning Zetao, who had been rumored to miss the Games, is also on the list. Dr David Bellin DC had prepared the Chinese athletes for the games they will be facing. Many Beijing athletes were getting their routine adjustments to improve their atheistic performance, improve ranges of motion and flexibility, especially in endurance athletes. This causes increased blood flow to muscular tissues, and can therefore helps athletes suffer from fewer injuries. We have arranged a documentary interview with the Phoenix Television, a Hong Kong based Mandarin and Cantonese television broadcasting station that serves the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong community along with other markets with substantial Chinese viewers; this project was managed by the Sports Chiropractic Council of Hong Kong China (SCCHKC), with its head office located in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. SCCHKC had communicated with the corresponding offices and Olympic athletes in Beijing. The interview was delivered at the Chiropractic Research Department at the Tsinghua University. The Phoenix documentary of the Sports Chiropractic allowed us to broadcast to 53 countries and regions with more than 20 million viewers worldwide, of which more than 62% are Chinese-speaking audience. It now covers over 150 countries and regions around the world with an estimated 300 million audience, among which, over 42 million households with more than 150 million viewers are from the Mainland China.

2 We Serve the Community As you plan for the start of another school year, consider the chair your child will be using at the computer. Most standard office chairs are not designed for anyone under five feet tall. If your middle school aged child sits down in the family computer chair and his feet dangle event at the lowest chair setting, you should consider investing in a smaller-scaled chair - children s feet should always touch the floor. Many full-size chairs can t be adjusted low enough for children or shorter adults to use comfortably, which can cause postural problems and strain on arms, legs or backs. Whether your child is just entering elementary school or entering middle school, proper equipment can help make things go smoothly. You may care to contemplate this checklist of important stuff to have to at every level. CDAHK member Dr Jen Ng DC provided pediatric chiropractic education to the audience at the HKTDC in y.

4 Chiropractic Research: Chiropractic Care for Older Adults In light of technology, extensive research has been done on Chiropractic sciences. Recent research has shown chiropractic care can help older adults to maintain ability to live independently and prevent falls. As we age it becomes more difficulty to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing and cooking. This is due to the decline in physical and cognitive functions that often occur with aging. Research carried by Dr Heidi Haavik DC PhD, who is a chiropractor and a neurophysiologist from New Zealand Chiropractic College, discovered that Chiropractic care can prevent the decline to lose their ability to carry out normal daily activates. Chiropractic cares can significantly impact several factors that influence fall risks such as 1. Your ankle joint position sense 2. Your ability to take faster steps 3. Your brains ability to process sensory information Chiropractic care can help you maintain your ability to live independently and look after yourself! Effectiveness of Chiropractic Care to Improve Sensorimotor Function Associated With Falls Risk in Older People: A Randomized Controlled Trial Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) April 2016 Objective This study assessed numerous patients response over a course of 12 weeks with chiropractic care. The study examines the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment on sensorimotor function associated with the risk of fall, compared with no intervention, in community-dwelling older adults living in Auckland, New Zealand. Conclusion The study concluded that sensorimotor function and multisensory integration associated with the risk of fall and the physical component of quality of life has improved in older adults receiving chiropractic care compared with study control. Future research is needed to investigate the mechanisms of action that contributed to the observed changes in this study and whether chiropractic care has an impact on actual falls risk in older adults.
