American College for Advancement of Medicine Grants First Chiropractic Physician Membership
Chicago, IL, February 27, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The American College for Advancement of Medicine (ACAM) has appointed James Rosenberg, DC, national director of chiropractic medicine at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), to the ACAM Advisory Board. The appointment marks the first ACAM board membership held by a chiropractic physician. Rosenberg, a pioneer in his field, uses chiropractic treatment to relieve stress and pain in the muscles, bones and joints of cancer patients.
“We are extremely pleased to have Dr. Rosenberg serve on the ACAM Advisory Board and recognize his unique experience as a national leader in the field of chiropractic,” said ACAM president, Dr. Allen “Buddy” Green. “We believe his role in developing supportive therapies for cancer patients at CTCA is important and will provide further therapeutic interventions which allow our organization to grow and evolve. We look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with Dr. Rosenberg and CTCA.”
Chiropractic treatment works to alleviate bone, muscle and joint pain by using non-invasive, manual procedures to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine. Pain and stiffness in joints and muscles can be caused by, or intensified by, common cancer treatments including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A chiropractic adjustment helps to properly align the spine and other joints, and restore nerve function. It can also help alleviate a variety of symptoms, including: back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatic nerve pain, painful walking, nausea and neuropathy.
“CTCA practices an integrative care model that joins traditional medicine with chiropractic care and other supportive therapies to treat patients and improve their quality of life,” said James Rosenberg, DC. "It is important to treat cancer, but it’s also equally important to address the potential side effects of cancer treatment to keep patients emotionally and physically strong. I am looking forward to working with the ACAM to continue educating and perpetuating medical excellence.”
Rosenberg earned a doctorate of chiropractic medicine degree from the National University of Health Sciences. He completed Bachelor of Science degrees in biology and human anatomy at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. He is a Diplomat of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and a member of the American Chiropractic Association and the Illinois Chiropractic Society. He also serves on the integrative practice council of the American Chiropractic Association.
