Editorial Staff

On July 2nd, 2001, prominent South Carolina chiropractor Michael Kale, 61, passed away in Landrum, SC.

Dr. Kale left behind a legacy of published books, lectures, studies, and most notably, the Kale Foundation. Based in Spartanburg, home of Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic, the foundation and related business supports what is known as the "brain-stem procedure."

The doctor was known by many as the "world's leading authority on upper cervical specific knee-chest technique," and was a continuing education faculty member at Palmer College of Chiropractic and Life University; he was also a Distinguished Fellow of the International Chiropractic Association.

Dr. Kale is survived by his wife Charlotte; sons, Drs. Randolph H. and B.J. Kale; daughter Dr. Renee Kale de Pena; nine grandchildren; and brother David Kale.

Memorial services were held at the First Baptist Church in Boiling Springs, on July 7. More information on Dr. Kale and his work can be found at www.kale.com.

Red Light / Infrared Therapy for Foot Pain

As a practitioner, you know foot pain should be addressed as soon as possible, as pain in one or both feet can potentially lead to impairment of foot function. But rather than treating foot pain with over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, or prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or even corticosteroid injections for chronic foot pain, why not try red light / infrared therapy?
