🧁 Continuing a Meaningful Tradition 🧁

The annual Amber Shaw Memorial Cake Auction is more than just a fundraiser — it is a beautiful way to honor a life, remember a legacy, and invest in the future of local students.

For Dr. Brad Bartel, D.C., this event remains especially meaningful. While serving as President of the Chain of Lakes Collegiate High School National Honor Society, he helped start this fundraiser in memory of his classmate, Amber Shaw, whose life was tragically cut short during her senior year.

Today, that tradition continues to make a difference. 100% of the proceeds from the cake auction go toward the Amber Shaw Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded each year to a deserving Chain of Lakes senior.

Dr. Brad is honored to continue supporting this special cause and helping keep Amber’s memory alive through a tradition that brings generosity, remembrance, and opportunity together. 💙

Some legacies are remembered not only in words, but in the good they continue to inspire.

🙌 Relief from chronic back pain without surgery is possible.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is designed to gently reduce pressure on the spine and discs, making it a great option for some patients dealing with chronic back pain, disc-related problems, or pain that radiates into the arms or legs.

Potential benefits may include:
✅ Reduced pressure on spinal discs
✅ Relief from certain types of back or neck pain
✅ Improved comfort and mobility
✅ A non-surgical option worth exploring

At ASC, we evaluate each patient individually to determine whether spinal decompression is the right fit. When appropriate, it can be an effective part of a personalized treatment plan focused on real relief.

If chronic back or neck pain has been affecting your daily life, ASC may be able to help you explore a better path forward.

💡 Not all pain responds to the same kind of treatment.

At ASC, Shockwave Therapy and Cold Laser Therapy are available as part of our treatment options for patients dealing with pain, inflammation, soft tissue injuries, and other musculoskeletal issues.

These therapies may help support:
✅ Healing and recovery
✅ Reduced inflammation
✅ Relief from stubborn pain
✅ A more targeted, non-invasive treatment approach

Why patients appreciate these options:
✔ non-invasive
✔ targeted
✔ can support healing
✔ part of a personalized treatment plan

The right treatment depends on the condition, which is why ASC focuses on personalized care instead of one-size-fits-all recommendations.

🌿 Gardening feels good for the soul… but not always for the back.

Planting, pulling weeds, lifting bags of soil, hauling pots, and bending over for long periods can put a lot of stress on your spine, shoulders, and knees.

Before you head outside, keep these tips in mind:
✅ Bend with your knees, not your back
✅ Stretch before, during, and/or after
✅ Avoid twisting while lifting
✅ Switch sides often when raking or digging
✅ Break up longer yardwork sessions
✅ Stop before soreness turns into pain
✅ Drink plenty of water to help prevent muscle fatigue & overheating

A lot of people do not think of gardening as something that can cause injury, but repetitive movement and poor posture add up fast.

If yardwork has you feeling stiff, sore, or dealing with lingering pain, ASC can help. We provide personalized treatment based on your specific condition so you can get back to doing what you enjoy with less discomfort and better mobility. 🌱

Why do so many professional athletes rely on chiropractic care?

From the NFL to the PGA and Olympic teams, chiropractic care has become a regular part of many athletes’ health and recovery routines. Elite athletes depend on their bodies to perform at the highest level, so they focus on treatments that help improve mobility, manage pain, and support faster recovery.

Chiropractic care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of pain and restoring proper movement throughout the body — helping athletes stay in peak condition and reduce the risk of future injuries.

While most of us aren’t competing for championships, the same principles apply. Whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or simply want to move better and feel better, chiropractic care can help keep your body moving at its best.
