Bock, Leg Pains W?
Get Werse Before Better
BY DR. ROGER R. ROFF
An estimated half
million people will be
disabled this year by
- spinal defects which
cause low back and
leg pain. What is be
ing done to correct
this problem?
Our research in
dicates that most low
back pain and
associated leg pains
are caused by truly
mechanical defects in
the alignment of one
or more segments of
the lower spine.
These spinal
segments may be
displaced by a fall,
accident or back
strain. Another fre
quent cause is
chronic posture
decay.
It's reasonably sim
ple. When a spinal
segment is displaced,
the supporting
muscles ana
ligaments may be
stretched or torn
causing acute and
disabling back pain:
When a segment is
displaced beyond a
critical point it partly
closes the nerve open
ings between adja
cent segments. The
result is excruciating
pain, which needless
to say, is anything but
reasonable.
The spinal nerves
which supply the legs
pass through the
openings between ad
jacent segments of
the lower spine. You
see, when one of the
segments is displac
ed, the nerves to the
legs might be pinched
or irritated. This
brings about the
nerve pain that ex
tends down the leg.
What can be done
for the person with
low back and
associated leg pain?
Chiropractic ex
perience shows that
individuals with
Or. Rogor R. Rolf
acute and chronic
problems of this
nature respond ex
tremely well. And, I
might add, early
detection of the prob
lem adds to the effec
fectiveness of care
and prevention of pro
gressive spinal
defects.
Low back and leg
pains often amount to n
needless suffering, in
my view. If you suffer
from these problems
contact Qc. Huff at
239-0693 and he will be
happy to discuss your
problem with you; or
call 739-0693 for a con
venient appointment.

Does
Alcohol
Control
Yon?
i
By the loss of control, I do not mean
that a person gets drunk everytime they
drink, but that they drink more than they
intend to. And they get drunk with
increasing frequency. Anyone who "Just
has to have a drink, no matter when, at
lunch, after work, before dinner, at bed
time is in danger of becoming dependent
upon alcohol." From dependence upon
alcohol, it is not far to addiction.
It is true that the need for a "Morning
Drink" is one of the symptoms of the
crucial or chronic stages of alcoholism.
But simply because one does not crave a
drink in the morning does not mean that
they are free from the disease of
alcoholism. Again, it is the loss of control
that determines whether a person is an
^alcoholic or whether alcohol is causing
him continuing trouble in some depart
ment of your life. In fact, if someone in
your life is insiting that your drinking is
excessive, that is one of the best signs
that it really is a problem. And you ought
to do something about it. Your trouble is
never going to get better as long as you
drink, it will only get wane.
A VISIT WITH
SANTA
As Christmas approaches,
we. begin to think snow,
hopefully, and cold weather.
Another thought that enters
our mind is that Santa is busy
at the North Pole. It is
impossible for Lumbee
Regional Development As
sociation to send all the
children in their Lumbee
Long house Learning Centers
to the North Pole, so the next
best thing is to send them
North to Cross Creek Mall.
The Mall made arrangements
with Santa to have him sleigh
down for a few hours each day
to take Christmas request.
The trip North was one of
much anticipated excitement
about visiting with Santa and
also to see some of his helpers
that are on loan to the Mall
until Christmas. The helpers
include his reindeers which
talked with the children and
joined in singing Christmas
songs. Many of the children
had never had the exposure to
talking reindeers.
A small toy workshops was
in operation at maximum
capacity turning out toys to
nme^taye^est of all the
children. The etfi woe busy
painting, molding, end pack
aging all the toy*. They
teemed a bit ahy during the
day with all the people
watching. They really work
faster at night when everyone
is sleeping.
The last stop was to sing
songs with the singing bears.
The singing bears heard the
children practice their Christ
mas songs which they will
sing In their upcoming Christ
mas performances.
Before the trip South, the
children were treated to lunch
at McDonalds. The lunch
provided enough energy for
the long journey home.
This visit to Santa was made
possible by the Lumbee
Indian Education Project and
the Parents and the children
enrolled at the Lumbee Long
house Learning Centers locat
ed in Fair grove, Magnolia and
Pembroke communities. This
program was funded through
Lumbee Regional Develop
ment Association by the
United States Office of Educa
tion.
