Fundraiser Nets More Than $150,000 for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Research

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 14, 2007 -- The fight against spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is expensive but, thanks to the generosity of those in attendance at this year's edition of Fight SMA's (http://www.fightsma.org) signature fundraiser, there is now a fresh infusion of money into the cause.

Fight SMA President Martha Slay announced this week that the fifth annual SMAsquerade auction fundraiser, which raises money for spinal muscular atrophy research, netted a total of more than $150,000. The auction's presenting sponsor was SunTrust, and the live auction sponsor was Dominion.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic killer of children under two. The neuromuscular disease causes a wasting of the muscles, robbing its victims of the ability to run, walk, crawl, play and, in many cases, even breathe or swallow.

"We'd like to extend a big 'thank you' to the donors, sponsors, and volunteers who made this fundraising total possible," said Slay. "A large part of our financial support comes from this event, and without it our fight against this child-killing disease might not be possible."

The items auctioned this year all fit the theme "Make Tracks." Event organizers encouraged those in attendance at the event to make their mark by helping to cure SMA, and the attendees responded. The winning bids on several items reached near record levels. The highest bids came on these three items:

*Whale Tracking (Winning Bid: $12,000) - An eight-day whale-watching adventure in the Gulf of California, accompanied by National Geographic Senior Editor Don Belt and National Geographic Photographer Annie Belt.

*Two Days at the Track (Winning Bid: $10,000) - Corporate box seats plus accommodations for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby, as well as Kentucky Oaks, which is run the day before.

*Tracking Flight (Winning Bid: $6,000) - A three-day hunt for four in St. Charles, Arkansas with Duck Hunt Guides, Inc., including lodging, hunts, meals and licenses.

New York City Chiropractor Introduces New Technology to Practice

New York City-based chiropractor Dr. Steven Shoshany recently introduced a powerful new tool to his practice with the arrival of the Power Plate®.

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 2, 2007 -- New York City-based chiropractor Dr. Steven Shoshany D.C, C.C.E.P. recently introduced a powerful new tool to his practice with the arrival of the Power Plate®, and its origins are literally out of this world.

Power Plate® is an advanced machine that allows people with various conditions -- including chronic lower back pain, weak muscles, chronic knee pain, and decreased bone density -- to exercise while working within their personal physical limitations using the concept known as Acceleration Training™. According to the Power Plate® Web site, this style of exercise was first used (on the ground) by Soviet cosmonauts in the 1960s to counteract the bone and muscle degeneration caused by zero gravity.

Power Plate® specifically utilizes this sophisticated, space-age training technique -- and the end result means improved treatment of the symptoms for patients who suffer from these challenging conditions.

"This machine not only enhances but speeds up the healing process relating to these different ailments," Shoshany said. The acquisition of this cutting-edge technology continues a trend for the center of being at the forefront of the latest chiropractic technology, which has been endorsed by a wide range of professional athletes and celebrities around the world. He is also Manhattan's only chiropractor to have integrated this technology into practice, he said.

"We are very excited to introduce this powerful new aid to what we do at the center," said Shoshany, founder and owner of The Downing Chiropractic and Pain Management Center in New York City. "This technique has greatly enhanced the already stunning success I am having with DRX 9000 spinal decompression treatments with herniated disc problems and chronic low back pain."

Shoshany, who is also the clinic director of the New York Disc Decompression Center and the founder of the Spinal Decompression Institute, said he agrees with the Power Plate® Web site's assertions that the biomechanical applications of Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines are becoming accepted in the medical field for the prevention and treatment of different types of illnesses and injuries.

"This is an impressive machine, and will help to improve the lives of the patients who choose to use it," Shoshany said.
