is one of them. He’s also the only person in the Hoosier state to be certified as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians®, which is the highest level of sports training in the field of chiropractic. Just 300 chiropractors in the U.S. have that certification. Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Amy Payne

Dr. Abe Beaber grew up playing sports, so when he went into the chiropractic field, he knew that he wanted sports to continue to be a big part of his career. “That’s where my passion is,” he says. That’s also what prompted him to put in the extra time to become a sports chiropractor, which requires specialized certification. Only 14 chiropractors in the state of Indiana hold a certified chiropractic sports physician certification, and Beaber

In 2006 Beaber took over Hamilton County Chiropractic, which at the time was a family chiropractic clinic. As Beaber became more specialized in advanced sports medicine and began hiring athletic trainers, physical therapists and massage therapists, the clinic transitioned to more of a full-service, multidisciplinary clinic than simply a chiropractic clinic. At that point he changed the name to Midwest Sport and Spine. They recently built out an additional 3,500 square feet devoted entirely to rehab and sports-performance-based services. In that space they have an AlterG® anti-gravity

treadmill. This piece of equipment is ideal for an athlete who, for instance, has suffered a stress fracture and can’t bear weight, yet doesn’t want to stop training and lose hardearned progress. “An AlterG® allows us to de-weight their body up to 80% so they can still train while rehabbing and recovering from a stress fracture,” says Beaber, clinic director of Midwest Sport and Spine. “We use it for post-surgical needs to work on improving gait and getting mobility and conditioning back much sooner than normal.” The staff of 11 includes three chiropractors, a physical therapist, five athletic trainers and two massage therapists. Four people on the team are certified in dry needling, a technique that breaks up scar tissue and adhesions to reduce pain and facilitate rehab for those with chronic muscle weakness.

“Athletes with chronically tight muscles have a deficiency that can cause a lot of pain and problems,” Beaber says. “If you can’t get through a muscle tightness, it can prevent people from progressing in rehab.” The staff offers physical therapy tools and gadgets such as cold laser therapy, which can work for conditions like plantar fasciitis and it’s great for those who don’t like needles,” other acute injuries as it helps to promote Beaber says. healing at a cellular level. “Since the laser produces no heat, you can start At a typical chiropractic clinic, staff will take films and do an adjustment.

While most clinics just treat and manage pain, Beaber and his team get to the root of the pain to get athletes performing at a high level again. “Our passion is helping people,” Beaber says. “When someone has been to another chiropractor or tried the PT route with no success and then they come to us and we’re able to help patients achieve their treatment goals, that’s really rewarding. It’s great to be able to diagnose what’s wrong with an athlete and get to the bottom of a diagnosis to fix it.”

TownePost.com / FEBRUARY 2022 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 5

He notes that many doctors give blanket diagnoses, such as a general diagnosis of back pain. Beaber knows it’s not that simple. Instead, there is often a very specific issue keeping people from getting proper treatment. Say you’re having a shoulder issue. It might not be your shoulder that’s the root of the problem. It just may be that the shoulder is where the pain is settling. For instance, it might be a disc in your neck that’s shutting off the muscle that controls your shoulder blade that leads to a rotator cuff issue. “We look at the whole picture to make sure you’re getting the best care possible so that you aren’t just running through cycles of pain and looking for the next provider,” he says. At Midwest Sport and Spine, the team puts athletes through a thorough evaluation whether or not they are experiencing pain. This way, if they see indicators that could lead to injury, they can get out in front of it.

“Once we get someone rehabbed, we like to determine how to keep this from happening again,” Beaber says. “The best kind of injury is one that never happens.” At Midwest Sport and Spine, the team offers company events and training opportunities to teach ways to avoid pain. “We’ve done things with police and fire departments, asking them the top three ways they tend to get injured on the job,” Beaber says. “Then based on their responses, we provide specific exercises to help prevent those injuries.” Midwest Sport and Spine is the medical provider for the Indy Premier Soccer Club as well as the official sports chiropractor for the Indy Fuel hockey team. Beaber is also part of the medical team for Marian University. He and his team are dedicated to getting athletes back in the game, whether they’re weekend warriors or professional athletes. Beaber invites anyone who is not getting any relief from chronic back problems, shoulder pain, knee issues or headaches to contact his practice. “If you have nagging injuries that are keeping you from performing at 100%, give us a call so we can evaluate you,” Beaber says. Midwest Sport and Spine is located at 220 Lakeview Drive in Noblesville. For more information, call 317-776-1061 or visit midwestsportandspinecenter.com.

Getting through stressful periods can be tough. Many people are currently dealing with anxiety, but there is a place to go for help. Kristen D.

“Take a deep breath and pause,” she says. “Be still and present in the moment. Anxiety is about the future, and depression is about the past. Learning to be more present in the moment helps you be able to shift and feel less worried.” Boice notes that it also helps to “write it out and get it out.”

She says people also need to notice their expectations. “Are they too high?” Boice says. “Are they serving you well? Are they realistic? If not, rethink your expectations. These tend to create anxiety and feelings of not being good enough. They often are created from a fantasy and not reality.”

Norway is known as a kingdom of water and light. It’s the land of the Midnight Sun and Land of the Northern Lights.

WELCOME TO NORWAY NAUTICUS LASER THERAPY & WELLNESS CENTER CREATES NORDIC-BASED SUITE FOCUSED ON RED LIGHT THERAPY “If you could take all of that light and all that energy and combine it, compress it and stick it inside of someone, imagine what it could do!”

Seland also has a new weight-loss program that combines red light therapy with healthy eating that does wonders.

Because of the northern location of Norway, the atmosphere acts like a prism, separating the longer frequency red light that we see during the Midnight Sun. “The bright red color of the sunrises and sunsets are the same frequency of light that is now being used for healing therapies called Red Light Therapy,” he says.

How often patients receive these treatments is dependent on their needs. Some come in once a week while others may require a pit stop three times a week.

Now he’s bringing his beloved country to his patients in a healing capacity by introducing a Prism Light Pod — the only one in the state. The unique red light therapy Prism Light Pod sits inside of a “Hytte” (Norwegian for “cabin”) to help patients feel as though they’ve been transported to Norway.

“So many people are typing away in front of a computer all day long so they get neck pain, hand pain, shoulder pain,” Dr. Seland says. “This is the best red light therapy for pain and it compliments our Chiropractic Care perfectly.”

“People who [follow a healthy nutritional Many summers at dusk and dawn during his protocol] and come in three times a week for childhood, Seland watched the red color over red light therapy and do that for 90 days will lose some serious weight,” Dr. Seland says. the temperate dark blue waters in Norway.

“It’s like nowhere else on earth,” says Dr. Trond Seland, owner of Seland Chiropractic Living Well Center and Nauticus Laser Therapy and Wellness Center located in Fishers. Seland was born in New York, but his Norwegian parents took him to Norway many times.

Similar in style to a tanning bed (though you do not burn or tan), each session lasts just 15 minutes. The Prism Light Pod programming includes treatment for neuropathy, chronic pain, joint pain, weight loss, sports injury recovery and anti-aging.

“Norway has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets you’ve ever seen,” Dr. Seland says.

“It will shrink your skin, tighten up wrinkles and give you a little face lift,” Dr. Seland says.

Red light therapy is especially great for peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain such as joint arthritis.

Each red light therapy session costs $50 though packages of three are available for $129. They’re also offering other promotions and discounts for regular chiropractic and weight-loss patients. Nauticus Laser Therapy & Wellness Center is located at 7350 Village Square Lane, Fishers. For more information, call 317-598-1410 or visit nauticuslaser.com.

He knew he wanted a profession that allowed him to incorporate using his hands and higher education—he just didn’t know what that looked like quite yet. “I’ve always been an artist. As a kid, if I wasn’t studying or going to school, I was drawing and doodling,” Dr. Tieman said. “But I knew I wanted to go to college, and I wanted to help people—I just wasn’t sure how I could fit art into that.”

This can vary based on different patients. “No two patients are exactly the same— just as no two operations are exactly the same,” Dr. Tieman said. “This is why it is so important for me to plan my procedures as much as I do and discuss with the patient beforehand what I’m going to do, how I’m going to do it and how those processes will get them to their end goal. I want to build a trust with my patients and explain all the details so they can be confident and prepared going forward with a procedure.” Once Dr. Tieman has crafted a plan of action, he explains to the patient how he will merge the patient’s vision and his skills to achieve the desired results.

irregular fashion.

For most, American Heart Month in February is a reminder to check up on their heart health. For JD Schellhammer, it’s a reminder that one seemingly simple decision potentially saved his life.

His physician at the time tried a few medications, but nothing worked.

“The doctor said, ‘Well, you got AFIB and there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about it. It’s just something you’re going to have to Schellhammer, better known locally as live with,’” Schellhammer recalled. “I said, former country radio personality JD Cannon, ‘Really? I think I’m going to have to live had worked in Indianapolis radio since the with another doctor.’ ” late 70’s. Though most media jobs come with some level of stress, he recalled things were He called his primary care physician, who much worse than normal around 2010. recommended IU Health Saxony Hospital. Schellhammer set up an appointment with “It was a rough, stressful year,” he said. Dr. Nathan Lambert, a cardiologist at the hospital. At the time, Schellhammer periodically experienced chest pains. “He walked in and sat down and said, ‘What do you do,’” Schellhammer said. “When “I don’t want to call them chest pains, but I left I just thought he’s just a normal guy. it was, and it kind of freaked me out,” he There was none of that god complex there.” explained. “It would feel like someone was sitting on my chest and I would break out Getting to know his patients is important in a cold sweat.” These episodes would last for Dr. Lambert, not only on a personal level anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. but to help find a suitable treatment as well. Around that time, he had a colonoscopy. When he was done with the procedure, staff told him his heart was “going wild.” He was later diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFIB). It’s an arrythmia in which the top chambers of the heart quiver, which makes the bottom chambers of the heart beat in an

“Prescription medications are a necessary and important part of treating most heart conditions. However, there is much to be accomplished and prevented with attention to lifestyle measures,” he explained. “Knowing if my patients are motivated to FEBRUARY 2022

exercise, what their dietary habits are, the amount of stress they face, all help me tailor a treatment program.” Dr. Lambert put Schellhammer on medications, but he recommended Schellhammer see another cardiologist at IU Health Saxony as well, Dr. Antonio Navarrete, who specializes in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. “Medicine has become very complex with multiple sub-specialties in order to provide the best care for the patient,” Dr. Navarrete said. “It is impossible for one physician to be an expert in the entire field.” Schellhammer had already underwent pacemaker placement before he transferred to IU Health Saxony. However, several years later, Dr. Lambert recognized symptoms indicating Schellhammer needed a new pacemaker. Dr. Navarrete upgraded the pacemaker by adding a new wire and new pacemaker defibrillator, which he said restored almost normal heart pumping and significantly improved Schellhammer’s quality of life. “I’m enjoying my retirement a lot since then,” Schellhammer said. “I have honestly never felt better.”

He believes seeking additional treatment from Dr. Lambert and Dr. Navarrete saved his life. “Quite possibly I would be dead.” Dr. Lambert agrees that if Schellhammer had left his AFIB untreated, there would have been serious health risks. “The biggest risk of unrecognized or untreated atrial fibrillation is a stroke, as a blood clot can form inside the heart and then travel up to the brain,” Dr. Lambert said. “Another possible complication is congestive heart failure, which can occur if the heart beats too fast for too long while in atrial fibrillation. Fortunately, with proper diagnosis and treatment, this is treatable and can be reversed.” After his experience, Schellhammer encourages anyone having heart issues to see a physician sooner rather than later. “If you think you have a problem, go and get it looked at.”

Both doctors stress that early detection of heart issues is beneficial when it comes to treatment. “Most heart conditions these days can be very effectively treated if caught early enough,” Dr. Lambert said. “A generation ago, congestive heart failure was a death sentence. Now, we fully expect the majority of patients to live fulfilling lives, even with this diagnosis. Heart attacks can be stopped in their midst with an angioplasty procedure. Strokes from atrial fibrillation can be prevented with medications or procedure. We have so much to offer these days, including affordable screening tests that can benefit entire populations. We have highly skilled cardiac specialists at IU Health Saxony and IU Health North available to treat all these conditions and more.” “Don’t put it off,” Dr. Navarrete added. “It can add years and quality of life to your future. It is probably the best investment you can do. Your family and children will appreciate it.”

WITH PREVAIL FOR TEEN DATING VIOLENCE PREVENTION MONTH Please join Prevail in recognizing February as National Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month (TDVPM). The theme for 2022 is “Talk About It”, set by the organization Love Is Respect, a national organization bringing awareness to teen dating violence. TDVPM is a call to action for youth and the adults who support them to have conversations about relationships and how to navigate them in healthy and safe ways. It is important for us to Talk About It because we know that teen dating violence happens. We know that talking around it or avoiding the topic is not helping. We know that talking about such a challenging subject is scary and intimidating. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists teen dating violence as a public health crisis. And the pandemic has only increased the instances that go unrecognized and the number of youth who are not receiving support. To enhance this important work, we have an updated Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month (TDVPM) Toolkit available through Prevail’s website (www.prevailinc.org). With this FEBRUARY 2022

kit the community will find information about resources, discussion starters, activities, and handouts about teen dating violence. Our hope is that everyone can use any or all of what is included to start conversations with the teens in your life and enhance your knowledge about healthy relationships, which are the antidote to dating violence. Included in the toolkit are activity suggestions ranging from five-minute conversations to full lesson plans, so there are many options to fit any time you have available. In addition to Talking About It, we challenge you to “go orange with Prevail” by wearing an orange article of clothing on February 4th and post a picture online using the hashtag #GoOrangePrevail.

Thank you for your support and active involvement with the teens in our community. We really cannot bring about change without you!

History of Love Letters The love letter. The pouring out of one’s heart to another. A tradition that has been practiced for thousands of years. A message that drips with intent and passion for another sealed with a red lipstick kiss and tucked away in pocket or under a pillow for that special someone to find. Some of the earliest records of love letters can be found in the Bibles, Song of Solomon or in the ancient Indian text the Bhagavata Purana. Every culture and creed seem to have some version of the love letter and humans of all ages could be the target of Cupid’s arrow.

Pauline Elliott's photograph rests on top of a letter she wrote to her husband, Frank, on June 6, 1944. (Katherine Frey/The Washington Post)

Over the years these declarations of love have evolved. The early renaissance produced verbose love letters written in elaborate penmanship. Letters which would travel weeks or months before falling into their lovers’ hands. Through the Victorian era love letters were not only meant for far away love but became an important part of courtship allowing lovers to share words too difficult to speak. In the 20th century men and women found themselves overseas as war blanketed the 1900’s. Love letters with an included photo, and stationary spritzed with perfume became a steadfast reminder of what was waiting at home. The 21st century brought about an explosion of technology which in turn transformed the traditional love letter. Emails with alluring subject lines and playful fonts replaced pages of handwritten words. Today the love letter may come in many different forms. A note passed in a high school classroom, a sweet text or a short “I Love You” scribbled on scrap paper and left by a made pot of coffee. It is remembering the shared moments and feelings with that special someone that drives us to expression. Though the traditional love letter may be less common today it is still a cherished way to bring about romance, shared memories and hoped for futures. To write the words she’ll keep tucked away in a shoe box in her closet or think about as she plays with the ring on her finger. Smiths Jewelers believes in your love story, and we would love to help you tell it.

7 DATE IDEAS FOR A MEMORABLE VALENTINE’S DAY Writer / Abigail Hake Photography Provided

FEBRUARY 2022

alentine’s Day is coming up, which means it’s time to start planning the perfect date for you and your special someone. Do you prefer a typical dinner with your loved one or would you rather enjoy a Valentine’s Day that’s a little more memorable? Whatever you like, here are a few ideas that you may or may not have thought of before.

1. GO SKATING

Lots of outdoor ice rinks are still open through the end of February so check out your options. Skating under the stars can be very romantic. If outdoor skating isn’t an option, look into skating times at your local indoor rink or even roller rink. Gliding around together and holding hands is always a good time. If you aren’t comfortable with skating, grab some hot chocolates and go watch others do it. This can actually be quite entertaining and definitely leave you with something to talk (or laugh) about!

3. PLAN A PICNIC

While you might not be able to do this outside, there are plenty of indoor-friendly ways to have a picnic. Set up in the living room in front of the fire, crack open a bottle of wine, and enjoy some light snacks and appetizers while getting to know each other a little better - or, if you’ve been together a while, getting to know each other again.

4. DO A DRIVE-IN DATE

Load up the car with some folding chairs, cozy blankets and lots of snacks, and head to your closest drive-in theater for an evening with a throwback feel. Depending on the weather, you could set this up in your backyard, at the park or even in the basement if the weather won’t cooperate. If you plan to do it at home, string some bistro lights for a little extra magic, and don’t forget the popcorn.

ENJOY A QUICK GETAWAY 2. RECREATE A FAVORITE MEMORY 5. Getting away is always refreshing for those involved. Whether Whether it’s your first or 15th Valentine’s Day together, there’s probably a memorable moment between the two of you that stands out. Do your best to recreate that special moment. Go back to where you met or where your first date was, and take a walk down memory lane - it’s sure to give you all the feels.

it’s an evening at the local boutique hotel or a cabin in the woods a couple hours away, enjoy the uninterrupted time together. You might even seek out a treehouse to rent as those have a truly magical and romantic feel, which is sure to make for a memorable Valentine’s date.

FEBRUARY 2022

6. GET ACTIVE TOGETHER

If you don’t regularly work out together, this might be a fun one to try. Set up a personal training session, go for a run together or plan a hike with a special surprise at the top. Getting the endorphins going together could really help get the sparks going. Plus, it’s always fun to cheer each other on when doing hard things.

where you are in the relationship. Make sure to include all kinds of ideas - fun, silly, extreme, romantic, easy and hard. Start by checking one of the items off the list THIS Valentine’s Day. Remember, just because it’s Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean it has to be a twoperson event. No matter where you are

7. CREATE A BUCKET LIST

Bucket lists are always fun to come up with and even more fun to complete. Why not make one just for the two of you? Come up with all the things you can do without the kids, or maybe before you have kids, depending on

FEBRUARY 2022

on the relationship spectrum, we’ve all had a crazy past couple of years and we all deserve a little treat. If there’s not a significant other in the picture, or maybe you just can’t be with the one you love so dear, spoil yourself and indulge a bit. Grab some chocolates, treat yourself to a nice dinner, or just take some time for yourself - because you deserve it!

MUSICAL THEATER RETURNS TO THE STAGE AT GRACE CHURCH IN NOBLESVILLE Care Center be the primary ministry partner for the show, but several Care Center friends will participate in the cast and crew. Christie noted, “We have the privilege of partnering with our Grace Care Center for this production. It’s an amazing organization that provides a myriad of services for our community — including a food pantry, a thrift store, a vehicle ministry.”

Grace Church (5504 E. 146th Street, Noblesville) will present the stage version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid from February 25 to March 6. During the two week run, there will be a total of nine performances of the epic, underwater adventure. Tickets for this fun, family-friendly production will be an affordable $15, as we believe price should never be a barrier to people experiencing the joy of live theater. Amy Christie is the director for Grace Church’s production of The Little Mermaid. The last musical Grace presented was Mary Poppins in 2018, which Christie also directed. “After almost three-and-ahalf years, we are so excited to be able to offer a full-blown musical at Grace Church!” Christie offered. “The arts have been a crucial part of Grace for 30 years. This show will be a colorful, vibrant, entertaining display of a young woman’s journey of discovery as she tries to be part of a world she’s been taught to despise.” The Grace Care Center is an integral part of the church’s outreach in the surrounding Hamilton County community. Not only will the

The Little Mermaid musical will continue Grace Church’s track record of energetic, high-quality theater productions. In addition, the rehearsal process itself has proven to be an effective means of multi-generational community-building for all involved. According to Christie, “People need the arts as an outlet for emotional expression, and we are thrilled to offer people a bit of joy as we come out of a bleak time in our culture.” Join the quirky cast of characters as they sing, dance and swim through this exciting stage adaptation of a beloved Disney story on Grace Church’s stage. For more information and to purchase tickets starting January 23, visit www.gracechurch.us/theater.

PARKER APPLEGATE For the first round, Parker sang “A Million Dreams” from “The Greatest Showman.” “For the second round he sang ‘You Will Be Found’ from the musical ‘Dear Evan Hansen,’” Applegate says. “For the final round he sang ‘I Thank God’ by Maverick City Music.” Parker spent a lot of time rehearsing for the program, and it showed when he performed for an enthusiastic audience. “When we learned about the ‘Noblesville’s Got Talent’ program toward the beginning of last September, Parker already had two songs prepared that he had sung during the summer,” Applegate says. “At that time he added another song for the third round, just in case he had the opportunity to perform it.” department,” Molly Applegate says.

Parker Applegate, a fifth grader at Stony Creek Elementary School, recently won the “Noblesville’s Got Talent” competition, and he couldn’t be happier. His mom, Molly Applegate, says Parker thoroughly enjoyed being in the program. “‘Noblesville’s Got Talent’ is a talent show that takes place annually at Noblesville High School, and is a fundraiser for the Noblesville High School choral

Many students participated in the entertaining show. “The first 16 students to submit an entry get to perform in the program,” Applegate says. “There are three rounds of performances starting with all 16 students. Then, by an audience vote, eight students continue on to the second round, and three perform in the final round.” Solo acts and groups compete with familyfriendly entertainment acts for a $200 prize.

She adds that Parker had about two weeks to learn his third song, “I Thank God.” “This turned out to be his favorite song to perform for an audience,” Applegate says. Parker is already eying more singing as he gets older. “He would like to include singing as a part of his high school experience,” Applegate says. “He looks forward to future opportunities to perform.”

Parker wants to give a shout-out to his vocal coach and friend, Kathryn Henricksen, for encouraging him, and helping him to improve his voice and prepare each song. Applegate says Parker also takes voice lessons and some piano lessons.

“He also wanted to mention that the audience is what really made the program fun,” she says. “The music students at Noblesville High School were so encouraging, positive and supportive. After the first time they cheered during his song, he forgot about any nerves he initially had.”

When he’s not performing, Parker has other interests. He enjoys leading small groups of younger kids at church on Sundays. “Parker loves sports and all things social,” Applegate says. “He runs track and cross country, and plays basketball, flag football and baseball.”

“They provide an assessment called DARI Motion,” Swart says. “They do a full-body scan to see what areas may be prone to injury, and then provide some exercise initiatives to better prevent that potential injury from occurring. The goal is to reassess each year.” He also partnered with Riverview Health to provide wellness exams for officers. They start with a blood draw and then go through assessments based on blood test results about one month later. The last pillar is mental and emotional health, which is often the most critical component to sound overall health. The department offers a peer support team to provide officers with education and resources to get the help they may need. The department also provides a mentalhealth professional who understands the mental stressors of the job.

“We also have the ‘Behind the Badge’ program,” Swart says. “Officers’ wives partner with each other to hold events throughout the year, like family date night for officers to go out and meet other officers and their families.” Swart researched other officer wellness programs across the country before starting his initiatives. He wanted to identify some of the potential issues that can arise throughout an officer’s career. “I wanted to focus on preventative measures people could do throughout the years to make sure they’re taking care of themselves,” Swart says. “The thought is, if you have a healthy lifestyle and a healthy home, you’re going to be better at your job. You’re going to be happier and provide a better service to the community.”

There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for the health and well being of our fellow Hoosiers. But sadly, COVID-19 has tested the limits of what health systems can accomplish on their own. And now, almost two years into the pandemic — desire, expertise and modern medicine are simply not enough.

We need help. Your help. The situation is dire. We have more patients in our hospitals than we have beds. We’re converting available units into critical care wards, just to make room. And as you know, the entire healthcare industry is operating on a short staff, which means our caregivers are running out of steam. It’s a daily challenge to treat incoming COVID-19 patients, as well as those who suffer from strokes, heart attacks, car accidents, cancer and appendicitis.

FULL NO BLEED

We need action. Right now. Here’s what you can do:

Get vaccinated. Get boosted. Get tested. Get masked. And please remember, if you have a mild case of COVID-19, call your doctor or go to a MedCheck/Urgent Care facility. Do not go to an emergency room, as we’d strongly prefer to save those beds for the very sickest and most in need of immediate attention. Our strength is in our ability to come together. And it is together, that we will finally see our way out of this.
