Coming this fall…
The staff of Core Physical Medicine would like to thank everyone that joined us at our grand opening celebration, on October 30, 2008. It was wonderful to see such a great show of support from so many of our friends, patients, and colleagues. For those that were unable to make it, feel free to come by anytime for a personal tour of the new facility with Dr. Brown and staff. Find pictures of the celebration here!
A Winning Recipe
What do you get when you combine a diagnosis driven sports medicine office with new-age exercise physiology and rehab protocols? The answer: CORE PHYSICAL MEDICINE .
Since 1996, CORE PHYSICAL MEDICINE has been a leader in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. With four offices in Coppell, Irving/Las Colinas, Ft. Worth, and Keller, the CORE group has a major presence in the DFW metroplex. What is the special ingredient to this recipe for success? Dr. Stephen Ward, one of Core’s owners, states, “What makes us different is our multidisciplinary approach. We have six doctors of Chiropractic, and the heart of our rehab, our exercise physiologists.” In fact, every doctor in the CORE group has an undergraduate degree in exercise science. Dr. Michael Schnappauf co-owner, adds, “Our exercise physiologists have worked in both the fitness industry, as well as, outpatient environments, allowing them a unique perspective in improving functionality and performance!”

ACU rolls to 9-0 with 3-0 win
SAN ANTONIO — The ACU Wildcats continued their hot start to the 2008 season Thursday night with a 3-0 win over St. Mary’s in the Texas MedClinic Regional Crossover Tournament at Greehey Arena on the St. Mary’s campus.
The Wildcats knocked off the Lady Rattlers, 25-18, 25-21, 25-21, to improve to 9-0 on the season. ACU is off to the second-best start in program history and needs just three more wins to tie the school-record 12-0 start of the 1991 Wildcat team. ACU will have a chance to improve to 10-0 on the season Friday at 12:30 p.m. when the Wildcats take on Incarnate Word in its final match of the tournament. ACU was scheduled to have also played St. Edward’s during its weekend in Central Texas, but the tournament was cut short because of the impending arrival of Hurricane Ike.
ACU’s trio of young standouts (Jordan Schilling, Jennie Hutt and Ijeoma Moronu) led the Wildcat effort as Schilling finished with a match-high 11 kills, Hutt added eight kills, and Moronu had 35 assists, three kills and 10 assists. Hutt — named the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday — had two service aces, four digs and three blocks in the match.
But it was Schilling who was the Wildcats’ standout Thursday as she hit .417 (11 kills on 24 attacks) and had four digs and two blocks of her own. Shawna Hines — who leads the LSC in total blocks with 36 — had four blocks to go along with six kills in the match.
ACU hit .241 in the three-set sweep, while the Lady Rattlers hit .079 and were out-blocked 8-2 by the Wildcats.
Happy Holidays!
