Sherman College student and musician/songwriter Bob Meliodon has produced an album "Some Cracks in Time."
The album includes such songs as "The Fellow Within" and "Subluxated State (The Second Law)." Bob wrote, performed, arranged and produced all of the songs on the album and orchestrated them with guitar, bass, and keyboard. Fellow Sherman College student Marc DeFilippo provided the percussion. They call themselves Bob Meliodon and the Chiropractors.
Bob's first album, which he also wrote, sang and produced, was called "Annapolis," in honor of the old naval town which is home to the U.S. Naval Academy. One of the songs on the album is appropriately titled "Academy."
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
