Spinal Decompression is a safe, fast and effective treatment for the following:  Bulging Discs  Degenerative Disc Disease  Herniated Discs  Acute or Chronic Neck and Back Pain

Many patients have been able to avoid neck and back surgery as a result of Spinal Decompression Therapy. If left unattended, these conditions can lead to more serious problems, resulting in the inabil- ity to perform normal daily activities leading to a less active lifestyle. Due to the overwhelming response, we have extended our offer from now until the end of August for a free consultation and exam to determine if you are a candidate for Spinal Decompres- sion Therapy.

The July 14 MGA playday had a turnout of 17 teams of four each. The game was a Hot Seat Irish Shamble, which was an unusual format, but very challenging and a lot of fun. All 17 teams rode, walked, waded, and swam their way through all 18 holes, with no drownings reported. Next month’s MGA event will be August 11 starting with breakfast and meeting at 7:30 a.m. and golf at 8: 30 a.m. The game will be a Paycuss Shuffl e Scramble. (AD/BC scramble holes 1-9, AC/BD scramble holes 10- 18). Hopefully by then we will have a nice DRY and GREEN golf course on which to play. Come join us. Hamburgers, chilidogs, baked beans, Photos J.
