, A.).14 -. • 4 WHERE DO YOU G Pain-Free Last year, former Detroit Lion and NFL Hall of Famer Charlie Sanders felt his back tighten up and tests showed damage to his L4/L5 disc. Wheelchair bound and in intense pain, he looked at the options and chose spi- nal decompression therapy at HealthQuest. "I did not want to have sur- gery," said Sanders. "I had great confidence in Cogan and this technology. By the end of my spi- nal decompression therapy regi- men, I was pain-free and remain that way to this day. I am happy to be enjoying every minute of living again." He credits Cogan with perma- nently alleviating his back pain and has recommended this treat- ment option to the Detroit Lions organization. "Too many people sacrifice the quality of their life because of an ache or pain that can be cor- rected," said Cogan. "Our spe- cialists correct the cause of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. We can often make the pain go away for good, not just until a prescription runs out or an injection wears off." Cogan is president of the Pro Football Chiropractic Society and a founding member of the International Chiropractors Association Council on Fitness and Sports Health Sciences. He spends most of his time when not working with his 8- year-old daughter, Dresden, who he describes as "the light of my life." He resides in Bloomfield Hills and is a member of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.
