| CHIROPRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
Osteoarthritis is a disease affecting joints. Of all CAM therapies, chiropractic continually rates high among utilisation and satisfaction surveys. Not only because spinal adjustments and manipulative therapies have been shown to help arthritis patients, but because chiropractors fundamentally dedicate most of their university education to 1) manually examining joints, of the spine and the extremities 2) physically treating joints without drug or surgery 3) diagnostically imaging joints, 4) analysing imaging of joints, 5) discussing cases where diagnosis warrants referral for treatment by other specialties 6) presenting advice on factors influencing co-management of arthritis, such as lifestyle, exercise, nutrition either as an alternative to, or complementing, medical options.

| TAI CHI PRODUCTIONS
When Dr Paul Lam graduated from medical school, he began to have signs of arthritis. He took up tai chi to help with arthritis. He says It has certainly improved my arthritis and enabled me to enjoy my chosen and busy lifestyle. He has seen the same impressive results with thousands of people over the years. Tai chi rewards those who help themselves.
You'll find our instructional videos/DVDs easy to follow and effective in improving your quality of life and tai chi. I receive positive ongoing feedback about our products through emails, letters, as well as face-to-face at my workshops. Our objective is to produce useful material to help you improve your health and level of tai chi.
