What A Chiropractor Can Do
For "Jogger's Back"

BY DR. STANLEY B. LEVINE

Doctor of Chiropractic

Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the need for
physical fitness. There are many roads to physical fitness, all with
a worthwhile goal. But a person who chooses jogging may find their
fitness program detoured by jogger's back.
An estimated sixty percent of the American people have one
leg that is shorter than the other. While some of them have one
leg that is actually anatomically shorter, the great majority suffer
from a functional short leg. In other words, both legs are actually
equal or very nearly equal in length. But for one reason or another,
one leg has been "pulled" shorter by a fixed imbalance within the
structure of the body.
One might think that a person whose legs are of
unequal length would walk on a slant and their side
to side appearance would resemble the Leaning Tower
of Pisa. Some people do have one shoulder that is
noticeably higher than the other, but such telltale
signs are not always present. Nature has a way of com-
pensating for imbalances by causing the spine and
other parts of the body's framework to shift position
in order to redistribute the body's weight more evenly.
Unfortunately, such corrections may create addi-
tional problems which will not just 'go away" with
DR. STANLEY time.
The Doctor of Chiropractic knows that for such pro-
IL LEVINE
blems to be truly solved, the underlying cause must
first be corrected. The structural integrity of the body's framework
must be restored.
His examination may determine if a short leg condition is
anatomical in origin or is functional. In either case, he may recom-
mend that the patient change his exercise program and wear a heel
lift in one shoe. This is not a "hit or miss" proposition. The size
of the lift will be determined by his examination findings.
Additionally, Chiropractic adjustments will help to restore the
spine to its proper alignment, thus allowing the body's own heal-
ing powers to correct health problems from within.
If your back aches after jogging, you owe it to yourself to learn
if Chiropractic is the answer to your problem.

High
Blood
Pressure?

Only your doctor can tell. Like
more than 10 million other
Americans, you could have
high blood pressure and not
know it until it leads to stroke,
heart or kidney failure. It has
no special symptoms and of-
ten gives no warning. But your
doctor can detect high blood
pressure (he may call it hy-
pertension) and usually con-
trol it. So see your doctor ...
and follow his orders.

friends anyway. She says,
"Any boyfriends that I have
had have come out of AZA.
When I'm driving down the
street in Farmington Hills,
West Bloomfield, Oak Park,
Southfield, Berkley — you
name it — I see someone I
know. I can honk the horn
and wave and they'll wave
back and smile."
Marci Finkelstein made
friends from all over the coun-
try through Israel Summer
Institute, one of five summer
programs offered by BBYO.
She spent two days at
Pearlman Camp in Starlight,
Pennsylvania, followed by six
weeks in Israel as part of an
archeology group.
BBYO also gives young
adults the chance to lead.
Every level of the organiza-
tion offers an abundance of
leadership po,sitions. A
chapter member can plan a
program or be an officer.
There are usually 14 ex-
ecutive board positions and
chairmanships in each
chapter. With each position
comes power and
responsibility.
Marci remembers one of her
favorite programs. She in-
vited a female police officer to
speak to two BBG chapters
about how to avoid being a
victim of crime or rape. Like
the "self-protection oneg,"
most chapter programs are
planned by the members.
Not all programs are suc-
cessful, however. Shoshan-
nah BBG has activities at
least twice a month. But
members from another BBG
chapter cannot remember the
last time they had a program.
This is the price one pays for
a youth-run and youth-led
organization: Wendy Golds-
tein, n' siah (president) of
BBG Michigan region, feels it
is a small price to pay "to
prepare today's youth to be
tomorrow's leaders."
Meeting and working with
other Jewish youth is an im-
portant aspect of BBYO. The
regional convention, a week-
long event held at the Jewish
Community Center during
the winter school break, is
the highlight of the BBYO
social year. Over 500
BBYOers attend the . annual
convention, which features
social and competitive events.
BBYO, however, is more
than a social organization. It
is an integral part of the
world-wide Jewish communi-
ty. BBYO chapters are
especially involved with
assisting Soviet Jewry and
Israel. This year, BBG
chapters sold refusenik
bracelets while AZA chapters
collected magazines to send to
Israel for use in English
classes. Locally, some

chapters are participating in
a youth exchange with kids
from the inner city.
The structure of BBYO en-
courages diverse programm-
ing. Activities are built upon
the "five-fold and full pro-
gram" of AZA and the "six
folds" of BBG. The "folds"
range from recreation to com-
munity service.
BBG's six folds are Jewish
heritage, social action, com-
munity service, sisterhood,
creativity and recreation. But
Marci feels too many of the
chapters think of the folds in
reverse order. Shoshanna
Chapter had as many parties
as they had functions in all
the other folds combined, she
says.
Wendy knows that not all
chapters program within the
folds. "If you go only to social

"The higher up
you go, the
greater variety of
people you
know."

programs, it's a social
organization. But there are
six folds in BBG and the good
chapters work with them
all," she says.
BBYO attempts to give its
members a sense of Jewish
identity. Sarah Voight
always remembers the
Jewish holidays, she says,
because the BBYO office is
closed on those days. But
more than that, BBYO pro-
motes Jewishness by allow-
ing only religious programs
on Shabbat. Some chapters,
however, work around that
rule by scheduling "unof-
ficial" programs on Shabbat.
Says Gary Weisserman: "It
does happen and it's too bad
but the key word is 'unof-
ficial.' "
Since BBYO is not af-
filiated with any branch of
Judaism, its members cover
the spectrum of Jewish
beliefs. Some groups have
panel discussions or services
where they explore the dif-
ferences between the bran-
ches of Judaism. Planning of-
ficial religious programs,
however, can be difficult. It
may be a hassle deciding
where to go to services or
what prayers to use, but most
feel the extra effort is wor-
thwhile. Marci says she has
benefited from the ex-
perience. "If you join BBYO
where there are other
varieties of Judaism, peole
who've been raised different-
ly, they have different ideas
from you and you have dif-
