LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, September 9, 2014. We were joined by a guest representing the business category of Actuary.

Jack Ansley, our portrait photographer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), provided the showboating. He displayed various photographs that he has taken of scenery, animals, and still life objects. Jack invited us each to take a photo and reminded us that photographs can make great gifts. He can frame photographs, and he can also make them into custom greeting cards. Contact him for more information or to place an order.

Our speaker was our chiropractor, Dr. Joe Zappy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Joe told us that a chiropractor is a medical specialist who treats musculoskeletal problems. He takes a movement-based approach to treatment. He will often film people in motion so he can see where the weaknesses and imbalances are. He then uses a combination of manual therapies and corrective exercises to help achieve balance and proper movement form. Joe prefers to help people get better and then see them as needed in the future rather than locking each client into an endless series of office visits. He treats many athletes and has attended physical therapy and athletic performance seminars to help expand his treatment options and techniques. Joe often partners with a local physical therapist. Joe is not a physical therapist, although he knows some therapeutic techniques. The physical therapist may look to Joe to provide neuromuscular re-education, and then Joe sends the patient back for physical therapy. Joe's movement assessments can help him to determine which muscle or muscles are in need of treatment. He also helped to develop a Rehabilitation to Performance program that is taught in chiropractic schools around the country. Contact Joe for an orthopedic exam and the best chiropractic treatment plan for your needs.
