| If you want to win in life you have got to have a system! |
|
| "When an injury or syndrome sets in.... it is a challenge to correct the problem. Some patients have little challenges and some have overwhelming challenges to face which must be overcome to allow for healing." You must have a system if you want to win the battle! Dont let your body age faster than it is genetically planned. Rapid aging of your body comes when you dont get good diet and exercise, the two areas of your life you can control to battle back the effects of aging. We cant exercise when our bodys have pain and stiffness. Can we? What are you waiting for? Time is ticking. Lets get to it! |

| The "Stoxen Approach" to Releif of Chronic Arthritis |
|
| You know that over 175 million Americans suffer from chronic musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis. The only innovation in treatment for this type of pain during the last fifty years has been dangerous drugs, back surgery, and joint replacement surgery. The idea that joint replacement surgery is considered a breakthrough is absurd to me. What it really says is medicine is doing little to prevent the stress and strains that lead to the wear and tear on joints when patients are in their 20s and 30s. More people suffer from chronic arthritis than they did 20 years ago! Most of you take drugs to stop the pain which is a mistake when we are treating a painful condition that is related to abnormal mechanics. With the recent deaths linked to the use of painkillers, people are afraid to take these medications and are now seeking safer alternative cures for their pain. |
|
 The "Stoxen Approach" has received worldwide attention from the medical community. As you know its rare for a chiropractor to be invited to address medical physicians at an international medical convention. The Stoxen Approach is a common sense, new and effective approach for the treatment of chronic arthritis. What if there was a safe-and-effective drug-free treatment that could stop most joint and muscle pain now? And what if such a treatment could prevent arthritis from ever getting a foothold in the body? Now!
What I found after evaluation the mechanics of thousands of patients walking styles over the years is that abnormal walking patterns can be developed. These abnormal walking patterns are stored in the brain. They are related to a collapse and lock of the arch of the foot. I have found that greater than ninety percent of all chronic musculoskeletal pain, including chronic arthritis, to this common condition a mechanical flaw in the way many Americans walk called “Over-Pronation Syndrome,” and poor diet, which causes “silent” inflammation throughout the body. Studies have linked Over-Pronation Syndrome to more than ten arthritic conditions that prematurely age the joints and produce serious strain on all the body’s organ systems. |

- bunions
- plantar fascitis
- heel spurs
- 4. foot pain
- calf cramps
- knee pain
- hip pain
- lower back pain
- herniated discs that dont heal
- upper back pain
|
|
 The body’s natural response to Over-Pronation Syndrome and to poor diet is inflammation. Systemic inflammation has been linked to a higher risk for arthritis, fibromyalgia, obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s diseases.
When the inflammation caused by Over-Pronation Syndrome and unhealthy diet go unchecked, each of the 10,000 steps we walk each day releases a steady flow of inflammatory chemicals made by the body that soaks organs and tissues in a damaging toxic “soup.” The result? We suffer from chronic arthritis and muscle pain, making us feel much older than we really are. This is one way that premature aging gets a foothold in the body.
When you come to see me I will present a clinically tested, drug-free, all-natural plan of diet and exercises that you can use to prevent and reverse the silent inflammation that leads to chronic and acute pain of arthritis and other common musculoskeletal disorders. During the first visit I will discuss what footwear is best for you in your quest in reversing or preventing this common condition. My approach reverses the injurious walking patterns that lead to arthritis and inflammation throughout the “seven floors” of the body. |

 These abnormal walking patterns are stored in the brain, in the same way that weekend golfers learn and store the mechanics of a faulty golf swing. The approach reverses walking patterns that lead to arthritis and inflammation by reestablishing the spring to the step. This approach reduces shock to the skeleton and re-teaches healthy walking and proper gait.
The "Stoxen Approach" is an approach has met with praise in the global medical community. By the end of 2006, Dr Stoxen will have addressed 20,000 physicians in 50 countries, from the Royal College of Physicians in London, England to the famous Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand to numerous conferences in Malaysia and Japan. Here is a list of the conferences for 2007:
January 27-28 - Capetown, South Africa* (300)
March 22-24 - Monaco - World Anti-Aging Congress* (2500)
May 17-20 - Hong Kong, China (tentative) (2500)
August 16-19 - Beijing, China (2500)
October 19-21 - Dubai, UAE (500)
October 29-30, November 1-2 - Shanghai, China (2500)
November 17-19 - Bombay, India* (2500)

| It is estimated that another 40,000 physicians will be exposed to this treatment method in the next 2 years. |
|
| Heres how it works... |
|
| We have designed a simple system consisting of 4 phases of care. Each phase you will have definate goals to acheive before entering the next phase. Having goals and phases will give you a better understanding of why we use the treatment methods. It will also give you a better idea of an estimate of time necessary to acheive each goal. You can go as far as you wish. If you just want pain relief, thats fine. If you want to get full rehabilitation, thats great! If you want to train after you are finished with rehabilitation thats fantastic! |

| We will help you acheive your goals! |

 TeamDoctors Treatment System
This is a treatment system designed to allow you to acheive a more healthy active lifestyle! It is not just a system to reduce or kill the pain temporarily. We all know that is a poor system.
At Team Doctors we custom design a system just for you! In 1991, TeamDoctors became one of the first in the United States to incorporate medical doctors, chiropractors and athletic trainers in one center. We were one of the first centers in Illinois to build rehabilitation training rooms into our centers. We have maintained a constant effort to improve our treatment methods over the last 56 years.
After years of studying and reviewing treatment styles with medical physicians, chiropractic physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, nutritionists, athletes and other fitness experts from around the world, we have found that our patients like the fitness approach to treatment. If you desire to have fitness in your life, you will like the Team Doctors approach.
We can incorporate nutrition, diet, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, flexibility, stretching exercises, strength training and cardiovascular training in your quest to achieve your health and fitness goals. Remember that while we have some accomplished athletes as patients, you don't have to be a world class athlete or an athlete of any kind to be a patient at Team Doctors. Most of our patients are not world famous athletes; they just like the more active and fun approach which is offered at the TeamDoctors Treatment and Fitness Centers.
Remember it is always your choice how far you wish to go. |

| Phase 1 - Physiotherapy, Chiropractic Adjustments, Neuromuscular Reeducation and Massage Treatments |
|
| GOAL: Pain Relief and Improved Mobility |
|
|
 Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is only important in the first phase of care. Team Doctors has physiotherapy to speed up the healing process such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation and vibration. These therapies are used in all pain releif centers so this in not the unique component of our treatment approach.
Nuromuscular Reeducation
Dr Stoxen treats patients with a technique called neuromuscular reeducation. He first tests every single muscle in your body which has to do with support posture and motion. he then palpates or feels all the important muscles for spastic activity (weaknesses) and tension.
He then addresses every one of these weakened and spastic musclles with hands on treatment to reduce these spasms with his fingers inch by inch up a muscle. This is a very detailed and comprehensive approach to care. he essentially rebuilds your frame muscle by muscle from the ground up.
He then addresses every one of these weakened and spastic musclles with hands on treatment to reduce these spasms with his fingers inch by inch up a muscle. This is a very detailed and comprehensive approach to care. he essentially rebuilds your frame muscle by muscle from the ground up. 
Oftentimes patients come to Dr Stoxen with lower back pain and after this examination they have the muscles of their feet, calves, thighs hips and lower back treated meticulously muscle fiber by muscle fiber, by hand to strengthen the entire frame. This process must be complete before active rehabilitation and training can begin.
You must remove the spasms and the cause of the spasms before you can allow exercise to occur in any joint. If you dont you will cause the joint to move irregularly which causes arthritic changes and that is arthritis or premature aging of the joints and the surounding region. if you dont, injuries can occur in training which will set you back or disable you and we never want that to happen! |
|
|
| Phase 2 - Chiropractic, Flexibility and Light Strength Training Treatments |
|
| GOAL: Improved Alignment and Flexibility |
|
|
Chiropractic Care
Manipulation and alignment of joints can help reduce joint stress and nerve pressure. Aligned joints may help reduce fatigue, this is in addition to the benefits of less wear and tear of degenerative arthritis.
 Flexibility Treatments
(PNF Stretching)
Team Doctors will evaluate the flexibility of your joints and begin to improve this flexibility as fast as possible.
We use (PNF) and other stretching techniques to improve the flexibility of your muscles and joints from all directions. You will be stretched just like a top amature or professional athlete! Obviously, national and world champion athletes and coaches, dancers and other members of the performing arts use regular stretching as an necessary task to improve performance and for injury prevention. You can see why this is an important service that you will benefit from at our office! When was the last time you had a good stretch? |
|
|
| Phase 3 - Strength Training & Therapeutic Exercises |
|
| GOAL: Joint and Frame Stability, Strength and Stamina |
|
|
Strength Training Exercises Improve Joint Strength and Stability
 At Team Doctors we design a custom rehab and therapeutic exercise program for you based on your findings. You cant be afraid of this phase because you can feel huge differences in balance power and stability when completing this phase.
It is important to realize that while your back and other joints are in pain and injured, the body weakens very quickly. While pain relief is a great goal, pain relief alone doesn't get your strength back to where it was. 
It is medically necessary to rebuild the muscles around your joints to stabilize them in a more healthy alignment. Aging is related to diet and exercise. Without exercise it is proven that your body will age more rapidly. You need to transition from inactivity and pain to a more active lifestyle!
Therapeutic Exercises
When you are injured and in pain you don't want to do much in the form of exercise due to the lack of mobility, pain and fatigue. Therapeutic exercises and improve circulation and cardiovascular health. |
