PRESENTATION 1 - "Abnormal walking mechanics the abnormal biomechanics of walking that can cause a rapid acceleration of the aging process. Effective diagnosis, treatment and prevention of 15 arthritic conditions related to abnormal walking biomechanics."

A particular abnormal walking technique described as “over Pronation Syndrome or “Destructive foot” as its nicknamed, “In the scientific literature, has been linked to more than 10 arthritic conditions which prematurely age the frame and cause a serious strain on all the body’s systems. Not only that but Stoxen states that since we walk every day over 10,000 steps the abnormal mechanics release a steady flow of inflammation which soaks your bodies tissues and this inflammation has been found to be a form of toxic soup.

“Inflammation” is the process by which the body responds to injury. Laboratory evidence and findings from clinical and population studies suggest that inflammation is important in atherosclerosis. This is the process in which fatty deposits build up in the lining of arteries. This accelerates the aging process. Systemic inflammation has been linked to not only a higher risk for heart attack and stroke but also Alzheimer’s disease, parkonism, diabetes, obesity and other systemic diseases of accelerated aging. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be a new way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A high sensitivity assay for CRP test (hs-CRP) is now widely available and will be discussed by Dr Bill Anton, a clinical and nutritional biochemist from Melbourne, Australia, also a presenter at the anti-aging conference this weekend.

He has also accepted invitations to speak at international conferences in Taipei, Tokyo, Vienna, Bejing and Madrid, a request that is rarely asked of a chiropractor.  Over 200 top professional athletes, Broadway performers and famous celebrity top recording artists have visited Dr Stoxen for this new treatment method this year alone including Backstreet Boys tours, Michael Flatelys Celtic Tiger, Aerosmith tour and Alicia Keys tours. 

Pronation Syndrome, fallen arches or and excessive “rolling inward” of the ankle and arch has been linked in the scientific literature to numerous conditions such as bunions, plantar fascitis, heel spurs, shin splints, calf cramps, knee pain and arthritis, chondromalacia patella, hip pain and arthrosis, back pain and arthritis and chronic fatigue.  The feet are the foundation of what we call the kinematic chain so when abnormal movement occurs and left untreated over the years, it leads to a process of wear and tear often limiting necessary age reversing exercise. 

Dr. Stoxen, a chiropractor and director of Team Doctors Treatment and Training Center in Chicago, uses biomechanics a science of combining engineering with biology, to study movements of the hundreds of national and world champions athletes, he has worked with to determine risk factors to injury as well as improved performance.  “Through a careful analysis of patients for the more simple abnormal mechanics can detect stresses, strains and abnormal movements on joints before any symptoms can even be seen in the patient. 

This method of patient care provides doctors with the earliest detection of degenerative arthritic conditions available. Early intervention with the treatment techniques I have developed will allow the doctors to correct these common abnormal movement patterns to reduce the widespread stresses on multiple joints and body systems before any signs or symptoms can occur.  This is the true essence of what anti-aging medicine is about.

He states that after examining over 100,000 backs and 200,000 feet that he has noticed that the pattern of abnormal biomechanics of overpronation and the pattern of abnormal biomechanics of lower back pain are virtually identical and are almost a direct correlation.  He is even prepared to make a statement to the medical physicians attending the convention that he feels that in his clinical experience that he feels that overpronation and its sister condition, oversupination are the principle risk factor for chronic mechanical lower back conditions.  Dr Stoxen has never sent a patient for lower back surgery in 18 years and that includes patients with mild, moderate and even severe herniated discs.  We now get approximately 20 “surgery cases” a month referred from medical physicians and the most commonly overlooked reason for the back failing to heal is the pronation syndrome.  After treating the pronation syndrome within 2 – 3 weeks these patients who normally would have had surgery are pain free and working out with weights.

In his address to the medical community at the conference, Dr. Stoxen will present his treatment program, which is unlike any care program currently employed.  “It has been thought that the arch could never be rebuilt.  That is no longer true. He will educate the doctors on his new and unique methods of the way he completely rebuilds the arch of the foot by hand. He will also discuss advancement in training shoe design to stabilize the heel in walking thus limiting overpronation.  He will also show video of rehabilitation and training techniques he has developed for strengthening the rebuilt arch.  “This new foot reconstruction method is far more effective, enhances function and is more permanent than the current use of analgesics and orthodics which are only temporary and helpful when the inserts are employed” Stoxen exclaims. By reversing the overpronation syndrome, you can reverse numerous arthritic conditions, which will slow, stop and even reverse the effects of aging on the patient.

He has seen the causes and effects of lower-extremity issues in patients of all kinds, and this has only strengthened his conviction that his methods can play a vital role in anti-aging medicine today.
