Back On Track Chiropractic & Wellness Center
Scott Duca, DC • Serving The Area For 15 Years
Back and neck pain are two of the most common, painful and debilitating conditions affecting millions of people yearly. There can be many reasons for back and neck pain. Most often, the cause is muscular, a slipped disc, pinched nerves, arthritis or displaced spinal vertebrae.
If you are a victim of back or neck pain, see Back On Track Chiropractic & Wellness Center, located in Homewood at 225 Lakeshore Parkway, Suite 101, inside the Wildwood Center, phone (205) 942-4243. Today’s chiropractic physician is highly trained in orthopedics, neurology, nutrition and functional assessment of the spine and extremities. They spend countless hours learning palpation (the art of examining by touch) and spine examining procedures. They are concerned with dealing with the cause of the pain rather than just treating the symptoms. Injury, stress, poor conditioning or repetitive movement can cause structural abnormalities in the spine which block neural transmission. Nerve interference or abnormal pressure can affect diverse areas of the body, causing numbness or pain in the extremities, headaches, and muscular and joint discomfort. Their careful examination will reveal the source of the pain.
Chiropractic health care is now covered by Workers’ Compensation, Medicare and most insurance plans. Your back or neck pain can often be treated at little or no cost to you. Call Back On Track Chiropractic & Wellness Center the next time you experience any body pain and take that step towards natural health!

STIHL Inc.
“Porsche Engineering Group Finds STIHL BR 600 More Fuel Efficient
Than Competitors” • www.stihlusa.com
A study conducted by the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH found that the STIHL BR 600 backpack blower is up to 28% more fuel efficient than competitive models, which can provide up to $644.00 in fuel savings per unit in two seasons, depending on fuel costs and run time. The STIHL BR 600 is also the cleanest running backpack blower in its class with 73% less emissions than current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (based upon information reported as of December 8, 2008, on the EPA Web site).
The Porsche study tested backpack blowers at wide open throttle 85% of the time and at idle for the remaining 15%. All the units tested were the U.S. versions, the same as available in stores, and all units were set to their respective manufacturer specifications during testing.
The STIHL BR 600 led the competitors’ models in the Porsche study, ranking the highest in fuel efficiency. The STIHL BR 550, STIHL’s value-priced backpack blower, was also tested in the Porsche study and was found to be 16% more fuel efficient than the BR 600. In a separate comparison, based on specifications from each manufacturer and not associated with the Porsche study, the BR 600 also was ranked as the lightest weight model and the most powerful in air volume in its class.
To learn more about STIHL low-emission and fuel-efficient products and the results of the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH test, visit www.stihlusa.com/BR600. For more information on EPA reporting, visit www.epa.org.
