Chiropractor offers modern workplace tips

BY ISRAEL GONZALEZ

From yoga balls to standing desk, there have been many proposed solutions for back pain, joint pain and other problems created by a workplace environment.

While these modern solutions are creative, they can be just as detrimental to your body.

Dr. Steven Knauff, a chiropractor for The Joint, offered his expertise on the matter to debunk common workplace myths. He said the forefront of all workplace pain is not moving.

“The biggest problem people encounter is being in any one position for too long,” Knauff said. “Not moving your body is hard on the joints and bones.”

Here are common modern workplace myths and alternatives that Knauff discussed:

“The pain originates from being in one position for too long,” Knauff said. “There are desks that convert from sitting to standing. With these you can alternate between working for one hour and sitting for one hour.”

These convertible desks are the way to go and are often cheaper than other alternatives like support chairs, Knauff added. Switching between standing and sitting aids the body in not getting stiff and stagnant.

Yoga Balls Yoga Balls can be a great tool or just as bad as using a regular office chair, Knauff said. It all depends on how they are used.

“Swiss balls could still lead to bad posture,” Knauff said. “Users need to understand the intent of the ball.”

Staying still and not being active on the ball will still lead to joint and back pain.

Knauff recommends to rocking back and forth and side to side to help the body avoid being in one place for too long.

Ergonomic Keyboards and Mousepads While not as big of a change than your chair or desk, ergonomic keyboards and wrists rests have been promoted as helping arm and wrists with fatigue.

While Knauff did not debunk this, he does offer an easier, more simplistic way to help alleviate pain and warns of the reliance on tools.

“Do some wrist stretches, ball up your hand and do some circles and keep your wrists loose,” Knauff said. “In some cases all these tools can make a person lazy because the tool is doing all the work.

You’re not moving muscles which can be detrimental to bone and joint health.”

Like the advice echoed for yoga balls and desks, Knauff once again recommends not being in one position too long with your arms and wrists.

Standing Desks Standing desks were made to avoid sitting all day long, but standing all day is not a better option. Knauff explained why a standing desk alone is not the way to go.

Stress Balls With the workplace environment being stressful it is not too uncommon for a stress ball to be found near desks.

Research has been done on both sides of the issue on whether or not stress

The Joint staffer Dr. Shahram “Shah” Soleimani works with one of his patients.

balls are healthy, Knauff said. He said stress balls can be good if you don’t stay holding the ball in resistance and remember to open your hand often.

Knauff also offered an alternative, rubber bands. Place a rubber band around your fingers and open your hand against the resistance and then rest it, Knauff said.

The biggest takeaway seen in all the tips is staying in motion. Office workers can avoid a lot of stress and pain by not being in one position for too long. If they do happen to experience back or joint pain without a cause such as car accident or other event, they should visit a chiropractor immediately.

“Ideally, patrons should come with pain before it becomes a problem,” Knauff said. “It is easier to get away from pain and discomfort the earlier

they come.”

There is no need to see a full medical doctor first if it wasn’t caused by any accidents or events, Knauff said. At The Joint, chiropractors do a thorough examination. If they notice something big, they will refer out to a medical doctor.

If experiencing chronic pain issues, Knauff recommends to see a team of other specialists.

“Work as a team. The more you can do the better,” Knauff said. “If you already are a chiropractic patient, maybe try a massage therapists. Try a physical therapists. We all work a lot better when used in conjunction.”

Orbital ATK awarded contract to launch U.S. Air Force mission Orbital ATK Inc. received a $23.6 million contract from the U.S. Air Force’s Operationally Responsive Space Office to launch the ORS-5 SensorSat spacecraft in mid-2017.

The ORS-5 mission will employ an Orbital ATK Minotaur IV rocket lifting off from Launch Complex-46, operated

by Space Florida at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This will be the first time a Minotaur vehicle will have flown from this range.

“Launching from the Cape adds another capability to our program and brings us to four ranges from which Minotaur can launch,” said Rich Straka, vice president and general manager of Orbital ATK’s Launch Vehicles Division.

“This flexibility and multiple vehicle configurations enables Minotaur launch vehicles to be tailored to meet mission requirements while offering the lowest cost flight-proven launch vehicles available to the U.S. government.”

This Minotaur IV rocket uses retired Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Peacekeeper boosters for the first three stages and Orbital ATK Orion 38 solid rocket motors for the upper stages.

Orbital ATK integrates the vehicle using flight-proven avionics, structures, software and other components that are common among Orbital ATK’s space launch vehicles.

Using a launch vehicle comprised of solid rocket motors requires minimal

pad infrastructure, which helps lower mission costs. The team will integrate the final launch vehicle using the Orbital ATK team at the Cape with a team comprised of employees from both Orbital and ATK heritage companies.

“This is a prime example of where the synergies from the Orbital ATK merger are providing real benefits to our customers, by being able to deploy one launch team that possesses expertise from critical propulsion and avionics subsystems, to the full systems engineering understanding of the vehicle,” said Scott Lehr, president of Orbital ATK’s Flight Systems Group.

The contract was won as a competitive commercial launch proposal for the Operationally Responsive Space Office and will be licensed by the FAA. The Minotaur family of vehicles has carried out 25 consecutive launches with a 100 percent mission success record and has placed a total of 74 satellites into orbit.

Employing a combination of U.S. government-supplied rocket motors and Orbital ATK’s proven commercial launch technologies provides incredible cost-savings for government payloads, enables the U.S. to compete with other countries who use their retired assets for commercial launch and keeps a critical skilled workforce employed.

Richard Cvijanovich and Tom Sparrow, third and fourth from left, the owners of Porsche Chandler, are joined by Doug Battie, Pedro Mota, Kenneth Lim and Rick Kramer of Porsche Cars North America at a recent groundbreaking ceremony. Submitted photo

City’s first Porsche dealership to open in April 2016 The owners of Porsche Chandler recently broke ground for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art dealership, located at 1010 S. Gilbert Rd. It marks the city’s first Porsche dealership and only the second in the Phoenix area.

Richard Cvijanovich, Porsche Chandler’s owner and operator, presided over the groundbreaking ceremony, which was attended by more than 100 participants, including Porsche Cars North America executives, City of Chandler dignitaries and Arizona Porsche Club members and owners.

Porsche Chandler represents the pinnacle in the brand’s design standards as one of its first LEED Gold Certified facilities, a benchmark for future Porsche dealerships.

“This is a significant milestone for Porsche in the city of Phoenix and the state of Arizona,” said Vice President Pedro Mota, who oversees the Western region for Porsche. “The new Porsche Chandler will give local owners an unparalleled experience and provide potential customers with a fitting introduction to the venerable Porsche brand.”

Once construction is completed in time for an anticipated opening in April, the two-story, 36,000-square-foot, 4-acre complex will represent a state-of-the-art sales, service and parts operation featuring a 14-vehicle indoor showroom, fully air conditioned service department, first- and second-floor cafes for client convenience and an expansive multilevel Porsche parts and accessories warehouse. The dealership

will employ approximately 35 workers.

Cvijanovich said selecting Chandler and the Chandler 202 Auto Park for his Porsche dealership was “absolutely the right decision considering its location squarely in the middle of Phoenix’s East Valley communities.”

“The tremendous economic, population and business expansion taking place within Chandler and surrounding markets supports the development of a luxury dealership offering,” said Cvijanovich.

Mayor Jay Tibshraeny said the City appreciated “the continued investment that the Cvijanovich family is making here in Chandler,” “This world-class dealership represents a tremendous asset to the community and we wish them many years of success with one of the world’s premier automobile brands here in our city,” Tibshraeny said.

Porsche Chandler will focus on providing the best-in-class luxury client sales and service experience possible.

“The Arizona Region of the Porsche Club of America warmly welcomes Porsche Chandler to the Arizona Porsche community,” said Kim Kemper, secretary and Autocross chair of the AZ Region PCA.

Here’s how the fundraising drive works: • 14 locally owned NARPRO shops from across Arizona will participate in a Brakes for Breasts campaign.

certified shop.

Chandler auto body shop certified by consumer group Chandler Auto Body, 1505 N. Arizona Ave., is now part of the exclusive advanced capable repair network of Certified Collision Care Provider.

The shops that receive the certification include only best-in-class collision repair businesses that pass a rigorous inspection and evaluation process to help ensure a proper and safe repair of the new generation of advanced vehicles.

Between 2013 and 2016, over 240

automotive brands are being redesigned or reintroduced using advanced materials and technology making this new generation of vehicles both lighter and safer. Hand in hand with the new vehicle designs comes the challenge for consumers to identify which collision repairers have the technical capability to properly and safely repair vehicles.

Assured Performance Collision Care, a non-profit consumer advocacy

organization, is working with automakers such as Ford, FCA, Hyundai, and GM to assist consumers by certifying body shops that maintain the right tools, equipment, training, and facility modification to repair the participating automaker brand vehicles back to the manufacturer’s specifications. These shops are also officially recognized by the automakers and carry special credentials. These shops are listed on consumer-facing shop

locator websites and inside of new smart apps now available.

Collision Care is distinguished from the experience and service provided by body shops of yesteryear through the advanced collision repair capability and service experience delivered by the best in class shops receiving certification. Less than 5 percent of body shops across the nation are able to meet these stringent requirements.
