On April 12, 2010, the guest speaker was Dr. Bob Richmond, a chiropractor whose practise is in the old RCMP building on Main Street.
Bob spoke about Total Health – all systems working 100% free all the time. The most essential systems in the body are the spine and the central nervous system. Misalignment of the spine causes the cushions between the disks in the back to protrude. You may not have any symptoms/pain but could have issues that you are not aware of...
He had Rotarian Andrew Palmer stand at the front of the room, and he showed us that you could have a misalignment and that the body compensates for these issues. He also used Lou McNamara (pictured here) to demonstrate chiropractic techniques.
Dr. Bob suggested that to correct whatever issues someone is having, it may take several trips and would depend upon the person. To keep up with the usual maintenance, most people have to go once a month.
He has sons that are professional athletics, one of whom plays for the Toronto Blue Jays.
