Relieve Pain with “The Upper Body Book”

By South Shore, MA-based Chiropractor Dr. Carol DeFranca

DATELINE: NORWELL & CANTON MA, ISSUED SEPTEMBER 12, 2001...

Dr. Carol L. DeFranca, owner of DeFranca Chiropractic office in Norwell, MA recently announced the availability of her new book “The Upper Body Book”, co-authored with Dr. Craig Liebenson, a private chiropractic practitioner specializing in rehabilitation in California. Available mid-September, “The Upper Body Book” is a unique instruction manual for those suffering from neck, upper back or shoulder pain, discomfort or lack of motion.

“The Upper Body Book” is an informative and educational book designed to help those seeking to relieve pain, recover from injury or improve posture, flexibility, coordination and strength of the upper body. The book was published by the prestigious health-focused publisher Exerball Products, Inc. based in San Diego, CA.

The book can be purchased by contacting the Occupational Physical Therapy Products (OPTP) at 1-800-367-7393 or The Gym Ball store at 1-800-393-7255. “The Upper Body Book” may also be purchased online at www. gymball. com.

“Developing this book took an enormous amount of time and effort and it is truly gratifying to have produced a ‘how to’ reference for so many people in need of a simple blue print of getting back to health”, noted Dr. DeFranca. “The book underscores that staying healthy is an active process, which is what we emphasize in our chiropractic practice. A sound body requires more than a doctor’s care—it requires active patient participation.”

Dr. DeFranca has office hours Monday through Friday in Norwell, MA at 144 Washington Street (Route 53). She is also an associate of Chiropractic Health Group-Spine and Sports Injury Rehabilitation located at 95 Washington Street, Suite 416 in Canton, MA.

Dr. DeFranca is a graduate of Rutgers University and the National College of Chiropractic. She has completed a clinical residency and board certification in Chiropractic Orthopedics. She has published medical illustrations in several scientific journals and has co-authored a chapter on Rehabilitation of the Low Back Pain Patient with her husband, Dr. Scott Chapman. Dr. DeFranca is currently authoring another textbook chapter focusing on shoulder and upper back rehabilitation. Her practice focuses on orthopedics and rehabilitation of spinal, extremity and sports injuries. She also assists patients with personal training and nutrition.

Drs. Chapman and DeFranca maintain two offices: the Chiropractic Health Group-Spine and Sports Injury Rehabilitation, 95 Washington Street, Suite 416 in the Village Shoppes of Cobbs Corner in Canton, MA and DeFranca Chiropractic, located at 144 Washington Street, Route 53 in Norwell, MA. Drs. Chapman and DeFranca have published a series of rehabilitation exercise videos as well as co-authored a low back pain rehabilitation textbook chapter. As Board Certified Orthopedic Specialists and Chiropractors, Drs. Chapman and DeFranca specialize in musculoskeletal disorders, exercise therapy and nutritional education. Their current publication endeavors include the development of a self-care manual for upper body and neck disorders.
