Trinity empowers Freedom

Freedom for the captive…Hope for the broken-hearted…Love for all. This holiday season, Trinity Chiropractic desires to bring awareness to not only a global issue but also one that affects Nebraska -- slavery. According to the Exodus Cry, slavery is worse today than any point in history and it is on the rise. Modern day slavery, in the form of human trafficking, can be found in every country including America. While there are many reasons people are enslaved today, most commonly the reasons are economic.  Leo Tolstoy put it this way, "Money is a new form of slavery, which differs from the old only in being impersonal…" Conservatively, the number of people enslaved exceeds 30 million. What can we do? Dr. Bryson states, " We can become aware. We can be vessels of hope and healing. During the holiday season, we can offer freedom by giving back realizing that the materialism of the holiday season can enslave us." From Nov. 15^th-Dec 20^th, Trinity Chiropractic will help Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach's mission of serving the working poor and homeless by collecting non-perishables and winter items such as gloves, hats, scarves & coats (adult and child sizes). To learn more visit www.mtkserves.org. Internationally, we have partnered with Community Concern Society (www.communityconcernsociety.com). Based in Sri Lanka, CCS helps fight slavery by offering shelter for abused homeless and trafficked women and children. Sriyani Tidball, co-founder of Community Concern Society and Lincoln resident, reminds us, "The need is great both locally and internationally and people are desperate. How can we not help?"  For every item that is presented locally to Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach, Trinity will donate monetarily to the Sri Lanka home.  Dr. Bryson adds, "This holiday season, can we think beyond our own wants to  bring freedom, hope and love to the enslaved?"

Barefoot Days @ Trinity

"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news…" In an effort to bring awareness of the needs around us, Dr. Bryson & staff will be going barefoot for 1 month! Why would we do that? Let us explain: From September 13-October 15, Trinity Chiropractic will bring good news (& beautiful feet) to Lincoln and the nations by collecting old, used and new shoes. Donated shoes will be given locally to the People City's Mission (www.peoplescitymission.org). Monetary donations collected will be given internationally to Donate Your Old Shoes (www.donateyouroldshoes.org), a non-profit organization that ships donated shoes to impoverished nations.   Plus, Trinity will  donate $1.00 to this organization for each pair of shoes collected to help them with their shipping costs. Dr. Bryson states, "The simplest acts of love are often the most profound. And true love requires sacrifice. As individuals and as a community, are we willing to love well -- are we willing to part with a pair of shoes simply to bless someone less fortunate. I pray the answer is Yes!" Come in and kick your shoes off -- literally! Help us bring good news to Lincoln and beyond! To learn more, visit www.trinitychiro.com

Trinity 'guards the heart'

"Guard your heart because it is the wellspring of life!" To many people Clinic with a Heart is just that -- a wellspring of life that brings hope and healing. Throughout the month of February, Trinity hopes to guard the hearts of many Lincolnites by helping to not only raise awareness about the clinic, but also raise funds to serve the un-insured, the under-served and, at times, the un-loved. Trinity's goal is to raise at least $1000.00 and Trinity will match each donation up to $500.00. Dr. Bryson says , "I have personally treated patients at Clinic with a Heart. There is no greater pleasure than to help someone in need. We have been given much, why would we not return that blessing?" Clinic with a Heart gives much more than just healthcare; it gives hope when there seems to be none. It is staffed by numerous volunteers that care enough to give back to their community. To learn more visit www.trinitychiro.com or www.clinicwithaheart.org. (You may drop off your donations at Trinity Chiropractic, 3120 ' O ' Street, Suite B. For tax purposes, makes checks payable to Clinic with a Heart.)

Chiropractic Care Could Reduce Health Care Costs

Health insurers and employers may see chiropractic services as a nice addition on members' health plans, but a recent study suggests chiropractic care is also a way to reduce health costs and improve the value of health plans.

The report, Do Chiropractic Physician Services for Treatment of Low Back and Neck Pain Improve the Value of Health Benefit Plans?, was conducted by Mercer Health & Benefits, LLC, and was prepared for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.

Mercer analyzed peer-reviewed scientific literature that valued the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments for U.S. patients with back and neck pain. The analysis found that chiropractic care is more effective than other modalities for treating low back and neck pain--and costs less than other care.

The analysts reported that the data show insurance coverage of chiropractic physician care for low back and neck pain for conditions other than fracture and malignancy would likely reduce total U.S. healthcare costs.

"Our findings in combination with existing U.S. studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals suggest that chiropractic care for the treatment of low back and neck pain is likely to achieve equal or better health outcomes at a cost that compares very favorably to most therapies that are routinely covered in U.S. health benefit plans.

"As a result, the addition of chiropractic coverage for the treatment of low back and neck pain at prices typically payable in U.S. employer-sponsored health benefit plans will likely increase value-for-dollar by improving clinical outcomes and either reducing total spending (neck pain) or increasing total spending (low back pain) by a smaller percentage than clinical outcomes improve," wrote Mercer.

Gerard Clum, DC, president of Life Chiropractic College West and representative for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, says the report shows that chiropractic care can reduce cost and increase clinical effectiveness. The issue is that most health insurers see the services merely as an add-on rather than a way to control costs, he adds.

"More often than not, it's put in there as something to keep the employee happy rather than looking at the return to the plan and the value to the plan and the employer," he says.

Though most health insurers include chiropractic services and 46 states have mandates requiring insurers cover those services, Clum says insurers are not adequately promoting chiropractics as a care option. Insurers should market those services as a way to improve clinical effectiveness and cut costs. But that's quite different from the way insurers currently promote chiropractic services.

"That is a totally different orientation that we haven't seen on a broad-base level," he says.

Clum says insurers should rethink their thoughts about chiropractic services because that kind of care meshes with the belief that improved health doesn't come merely from a prescription pad or in a bottle.

"It's about how we're living our lives and taking responsibility for our lives. This is absolutely consistent with that emerging thinking," he says.

Trinity helps people See

Trinity Chiropractic is holding a community-wide eyeglass drive in the month of October. Dr. Bryson states, "The eyes are called the window to the soul. We want people to be able to see better, not only for their physical health but also their spiritual, mental and emotional health. Helen Keller said this, ‘I long to accomplish a great and noble task but it is my chief duty to do the small tasks like they were great and noble.' Bringing eyeglasses may seem like a small task but it is a great and noble: Imagine if you could help a child read, an adult succeed in his job, a senior maintain her independence . Many people have old eyeglasses lying around collecting dust. We want those. We will also take new ones."  Trinity is partnering with the Lions Club International Sight Program. All donated eyeglasses will benefit the community locally and throughout the world! To learn more visit www.lionsclubs.org.

Trinity supports local project

In the month of August, Trinity Chiropractic will be accepting donations for ‘Revival Gear Project.' This project ‘s goal is to encourage self-esteem for kids in foster care by providing handmade duffel bags. Suzanne McIlvaine started the project in  March 2009. She had adopted her and when he arrived, all his possessions came in a black garbage bag. This grieved Suzanne's heart. She states, "Knowing that kids in foster care don't always get the best, I decided that any duffel bags made and supplies given would be new. We found out that some of the children are taken right from school with only the clothes on their backs and nothing else. These duffel bags aren't much but they provide hope, love and security  to a hurting child." Dr. Bryson adds, "If we can help one child know they are important, that someone cares,  is there anything else more important?" If you would like to learn more or to donate, please visit www.revivalgearproject.com

Dr. Bryson recognized by Tosca Lee

Tosca Lee is former Miss Nebraska and a Christian fiction writer. Tosca has received several awards for her writing and travels extensively speaking about a variety of topics.  She states, "The coolest and really the moments that have broken me are the ones where I've realized God knows who I am. I saw this chiropractor, Dr. Bo, for the first time while working on Havah. A friend referred me--I think she was tired of me complaining about my back from all the travel I do for my work. Dr. Bo is a Christian chiropractor. Anyway, he asked how I was and I broke down. And he gave me a Bible verse, this man who had never met me, and said, "You know, God is really pleased with the work you're doing." I just lost it and I'm sure he thought I was a nutcase. He asked if he could pray for me..."
