| "Gradual
wear and tear created by an ill fitting personal environment
is one of the most preventable sources of misery experienced
as people age. We are committed to providing exceptional programs

| Dr.
Scott Donkin began Chiropractic practice in Lincoln, Nebraska
in1981 and has practiced here ever since. In addition to being
a skilled chiropractor, Dr. Donkin is also board certified in
Occupational Health. This extensive additional training uniquely
qualifies him to effectively consult with companies and government
agencies to uncover the cause of many workplace health and safety
problems such as reoccurring injuries or accidents, and develop
practical, innovative solutions to prevent them. He started
Occupational
Health and Wellness Solutions to provide these services. |
| |
 |
For
example, Dr. Donkin has provided health and safety educational
presentations, injury prevention programs and ergonomic
consulting to the City of Lincoln and Lincoln Electric |
|
System since 1986. His programs have touched every city department
in Lincoln. Dr. Donkin uses a sophisticated physical assessment
system to provide post-offer, post-injury and independent medical
evaluations that are objective, accurate, and defensible. A
similar combination of hands-on and high tech treatment used
by Chiropractic
Associates is applied to treat injured workers and return
them to job tasks as soon as possible and it is safe to do so.
Treating companies, like patients, by sorting out the causes
of their problems and customizing solutions has proven to be
quite profitable to numerous Lincoln companies.
Dr. Donkin has also been invited by members of the European
Union to help develop and implement health and safety programs
for their drivers. |
| |
| In addition,
Dr. Donkin is an internationally published author as well
as a media and product consultant. Sitting On The
Job, Donkin’s first book, has been in print
for over 15 years and recently revised. It was also published |
 |
|
| as
Fit For Work in Europe. He co-authored Peak Performance
Body and Mind: Make Your Body Last a Lifetime. These books
and their related educational programs empower people to better
help themselves through understanding how to use their own bodies
and their environment, whether it be at work, in the office,
in the car, at home, or at play. |
| |
| Poor
habits not only cause a lot of pain but they also gradually
wear and tear down the body leading to recurring injury, stress,
strain, and degenerating health. With more and more people living
longer lives, quality of life is an increasingly important issue.
That is why Dr. Donkin also devotes a significant amount of
time to product research and improvement. The lists of clients
he researches for or endorses include Herman Miller Inc., Haworth
Inc., Panasonic, Amerosport Inc., Garner Industries, and Comfort
Trac. |
| |
| The
better products are for people and their needs, the healthier
people become for their lifetime. |
| |
| Dr.
Donkin is also a popular media subject matter expert in health,
human performance and ergonomics consulting to the popular and
professional press. He has advised, instructed or written for
such publications as USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, L.A.
Times, Midlands Business Journal, Omaha World Herald, Smart
Money Magazine, Self, Vitality, Conde Nast Traveler, ACA Journal
and more. |
| |
| Many of
the community projects his companies are involved with
revolve around Dr. Donkin’s educational programs
and consults. In addition, Chiropractic
Associates has collected items for the food bank and
donated time |
 |
|
and money to the Make A Wish Foundation, church groups, schools,
and local athletic organizations. Dr. Donkin is a board member
of Work Well, a non-profit organization providing health promotion
services and support to over 80 companies in and around the
City of Lincoln.
Dr. Donkin’s vision is to continue to improve all of his
professional and business services through research, it’s
practical application, and a caring approach to positively touch
the lives of people and businesses in the community, thereby
helping to make Lincoln, a healthier, safer place to live, work,
and play.
Chiropractic
Associates, Occupational Health and Wellness Solutions,
and Sitting On The Job will continue to be an empowering
resource for engaging people in the adventure of living long
and living well naturally. |

| "In
a perfect world we would enjoy much longer, healthier, happier
live and our bodies would not gradually degenerate to the point
of becoming imprisoned in a crippled body. Statistically a substantial
percentage of people viewing this website will live beyond 100
years of age. Increasing evidence suggests that life expectancies
of 120 + years are possible and probable but what will the quality
of that longer life be? One of my patients just related to me
that she is more concerned about living too long in pain and
ill health than not living long enough. Living a very long life
free of gradually declining health requires a new strategy.
In addition to optimum exercise, nutrition, water intake and
financial strategies we must all look at how our physical environment
influences our personal health and well being. |
| |
At
this point you should ask yourself, ' What if I live to be a
hundred years old or more?' Where are my current habits and
activities going to take me? Habits are a way of placing routine
activities on automatic pilot so that you can concentrate on
other aspects of your life. Habits that are placed on automatic
pilot to a large extent actually drive your destiny. Many of
your sitting, standing, walking and reclining habits are magnified
through time to create the person you will become. The first
step in gaining power over your habits is to become aware of
them one by one and deciding if they are working for you or
against you. For example if you spend a significant amount of
time in your car how it fits you is important. It is common
to have an ill fitting driver’s seat aggravate back, neck,
arm and leg conditions and also contribute to cumulative stress.
You may not even be aware that car driving habits are contributing
to gradual wear and tear on your body. Looking at this area
of your life and improving it will have a positive impact on
your health and well being from that moment forward. We help
you become aware of many of these seemingly innocent areas of
your life and offer solutions."

Turtle
Back
Turtleback is a term respectfully assigned to illustrate
the gradual and largely preventable process of crippling
physical degeneration and negative aging. Commonly blamed
on osteoporosis of the spine this process has its roots
in habits formed during childhood. |

| Healthy
Back System |
|
Activities of modern life are flexion dominant. We flex our abs and
our biceps to demonstrate great muscle tone, we flex our heads forward
to surf the net and flex our bodies forward to drive and perform most
other seated tasks. Flexion dominant activities create a deficiency
of extension just like a deficiency of water causes dehydration. Extension
deficiency and the reduced flexibility that accompanies with it is
a leading cause of premature degeneration and back, neck, shoulders,
arms and legs. If you want to age in a hurry then keep your flexion
dominant activities. If you’re interested in stopping or reversing
this trend use the innovative Healthy Back System. “The Healthy
Back System definitely helps restore the most neglected movement of
everyday life: back extension. Consistent use would be an essential
component of achieving and keeping a truly healthy back.” |

| Products
That Fit You |
|
As an informed health conscious consumer it is essential to evaluate
products for quality, cost, value, fashion and fit. Fit is the most
misunderstood element of the equation. In order for something to properly
fit it must be the proper size and shape for your unique physical
form and contours. If it is not, your body will distort itself to
conform to an ill fitting product such as a sleeping pillow or slump
inducing couch. The best fit for you would be products that support
the natural function, balance and alignment of your body. We have
evaluated many products using our unique approach and you will see
many of our favorites in this section. |

| Sensational
Relaxation |
|
When you listen to soothing music you are using your sense of hearing
to relax. The soothing aroma of chamomile, lavender or yarrow stimulates
your powerful sense of smell to relax. It has long been recognized
that a comfortable heat pack stimulates your sense of touch and soothes
tense muscles while improving circulation. I believe stimulating your
senses to help you relax naturally is surprisingly easy, thoroughly
enjoyable and quite affordable. With this concept in mind you can
create your own sensational relaxation experience by simultaneously
stimulating your senses in a way that helps you reach a deeper more
profound state of relaxation usually in a much shorter time. We have
selected a number of spectacular products that you can use individually
or combine for the level of relaxation experience you desire. |

them as a practical and valuable investment in your present and future
health. |
