TCA's Young Chiropractor of the Year and Convention Recap

This past weekend Dr. Max attended the Texas Chiropractic Association's annual convention in Austin, TX as the State Director for Distric 11 (Greater Houston Area). While at the convention Dr. Max attended various board and committee meetings as well as some continuing education seminars. Some of these focused on topics such as the future of Chiropractic in the state of Texas and nationally, patient access to Chiropractic, financial oversight of the TCA, and leadership development.

On Saturday evening at the President's Banquet it was a great night for District 11. Dr. Vige presented an award to Dr. Devin Pettiet for TCA Director's Award. One of the more prestigious awards given during the banquet is the TCA's Young Chiropractor of the Year Award. This award is given to a Chiropractor under the age of 40 who has been nominated and voted on by previous recipients of this award. This award is given based on service to the TCA.  This award is kept secret from the recipient until it is presented but not their family who are encouraged to attend and surprise the young Doctor. With a very entertaining who could it be presentation, Dr. Tyce Hergert the previous year's award recipient presented this year's Texas Chiropractic Association's Young Chiropractor of the Year award to Dr. Max. The biggest award of the night was also given to a fellow Doctor from District 11 Dr. Ken Tomlin received the Keeler Award for outstanding career achievement in the field of Chiropractic.

GBC is proud of our very own Dr. Max and the two other members of our area who received awards at this year's convention.

Healthy Recipe - Quick On the Go Lunch Wrap

Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Iceberg or Leaf Lettuce ( 1 leaf per wrap)
1 tsp Hummus per wrap
Sliced Avocado
Sliced Turkey
Sliced Cucumber
Seasoning like Mrs. Dash
Toothpicks

Other filler options : Shredded Carrots, Tomatoes, Salsa, Herbs, Tuna

Flatten out lettuce leaf. If midvein is large it can be removed to make wrapping easier. Spread hummus on to lettuce. Layer on the turkey and lettuce until all are on the lettuce. Sprinkle on seasoning to taste. Roll lettuce a quarter inch on two sides to form top and bottom to prevent spillage, then complete by rolling from the sides and securing with a toothpick.
This is a quick lunch or snack that can be made when you are on the go and is a healthy alternative to a hamburgers and french fries.

Hip-flexor Stretches

With the weather warming up more people are out and about getting active. This means more biking, rowing and activities you use your hips to do the work so here are a couple of stretches to help you out.  They are great because you can do each day before you roll out of bed or before you hop into bed in the evening.

Lying Hip-flexor stretch:
A. You can either lie on your bed or a mat on the floor in a fetal position, with your head on your pillow or even a folded towel. Hold your left ankle with your left hand (if you are unable to reach your leg with your hand you can use a towel or strap wrapped around it to hold it and stretch). Keep your right knee at a 90 degree angle (you can hold this leg in place with your right hand if needed).

 B. Take a deep breath and tuck your pelvis under slightly while gently pulling your leg back until your knee is slightly behind you and your thigh is parallel to the floor. Avoid arching your back during this stretch. Exhale and hold the stretch for 5 seconds, then bring your knee back up toward your chest again.  Repeat up to 10 reps on the one side and then switch sides.

Not Out of Bed Hip-flexor stretch:

Lie on your bed on your back looking up at the ceiling. Make sure you are on the edge of your bed side. Stabilize yourself as you lower your foot off the edge of the bed to the floor. This will gently stretch out your hip flexor. Hold this position for 40-60 seconds. Then rotate around on the bed facing the opposite direction and repeat with the other leg.
