CLA's Subluxation Station used in pro football
"A special report from CLA"
Chiropractic Leadership
Alliance (CLA) has been chiropractic's industry leader in technology focused
on helping the chiropractor analyze nervous system function for well over a
decade. Their most popular technology, the Insight Subluxation Station, or
Sub Station for short, has helped to transform practices by making
subluxation correction and improved performance a reality to the consumer.
Over the years, the Sub
Station has helped increase the awareness of chiropractic in the public eye.
World champion and Decathlon gold medalist, Dan O'Brien touted its virtues.
It has been featured on many of the major networks in health segments
broadcast to millions. It was also prominently featured on The Discovery
Channel, The Discovery Health Channel, PBS's American Medical Review hosted
by Morley Safer, Heartbeat of America hosted by William Shatner and in
dozens of newspaper articles. "It was surprising and exciting to us that the
Sub Station, which we had developed as a cutting edge clinical tool, has
become such a great consumer educator and media darling for chiropractic. I
am personally thrilled that it has driven countless thousands of new
patients into chiropractic offices everywhere," states Chiropractic
Leadership Alliance Chief Executive Officer, Dr Patrick Gentempo.
To add to all the
excitement, the Sub Station is now being used to scan athletes from three
professional football teams; the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, and
Detroit Lions. CLA Co‑Founder Dr. Christopher Kent stated, "The Sub Station
has given the professional sports team chiropractor compelling objectivity
which has helped afford them the opportunity to work on these multi‑million
dollar athletes. Chiropractors aren't going to replace trainers, physical
therapists, or orthopedists that provide services to these teams. However,
they can now show the effects of spinal adjustments on the nervous system
which will directly impact athletic performance. It puts the chiropractor in
a unique category or service that excites players, coaches, and owners". Dr.
Douglas C. Miller, Chiropractor to the Baltimore Ravens comments, "The
Insight is a great tool that helps us understand the complexity and muscle
functions of subluxations the players develop and redevelop due to the
nature of the game".
As of this writing, it
is also known that the chiropractors for the Houston Rockets Basketball team
and San Diego Padre Baseball team are also scanning with the Sub Station.
It seems that the
future of chiropractic from the clinical and public relations standpoint
rests in technology. As more mainstream celebrities and athletes tout the
virtues of chiropractic publicly, our great profession expands. For more
