Page 4, Whltby Free Press, Wednesday, August 21, 1996 OEN DsIL AI J-lII Q. Dr. Mat Peacock - Chiropractor What does a doctor of chiropractic do? R. Chiropractors, as do ail doctors, use a standard procedure of examination to diagnose a patient's condition in order to arrive at a plan' of treatment. Most chiropractors use the same methods of consultation, case history, physical examination and x-ray analysis, when necessary. In addition, we provide a thorough chiropractic structural exam, with epis o te sin. Chiropractors consider the bodya total functioning unit and give special attention to the spine and it's relation to the nervous systemr. We attempt to relieve pain and illness utilizing skillful manipulations (adjustments) of the vertebrae and other joints. Misaligned vertebrae result in nerve pressure and cen cause a multitude of problems including; low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and headaches. Most offices' are equipped to treat various work and sports related injuries including muscle strains, tendonitis, ligament sprains, repetitive strain injuries. DR. MATT PEACOCK- DR.

Magnifying vision aids may help, and can give a new sense of independence in ordinary tasks such as writing cheques and reading newspapers.

Derek Dutka - Independent Financial Planner 1 invest $6,000/year. Should 1 invest it ail at once, or in monthly amounts? A. Monthly investing works best for most people. It removesth temptation to spend a growing bank account on other things. Mutual funcis are the best investment for this plan over the Iong-term. The principle is simple; as the value rises, investors buy fewer units. As the value fails, investors buy more. This is known as "dollar cost averaging". The beauty of dollar cost averaging Is that investors don't have to worrry about market timing. They are buying units consistently, whether the market goes up or dwn. It eliminates tetmtto oso uigwe units drop in value, or go wild spending when units start thin.Yo ecemp tationto sobying when market shifts. 0f couse, some people feel they can "tme" the market. For them it is beter to invest a lump sum at the Obest" time and change thei r investments as market conditions change. Marketing timing is much more time consuming and risky. Choose the method that suits you. m Fnaneaa -l Group 187 King St. E. Oshawa - 579-7777 Debra Glover - Associate Broker, Real Estate Q . We are thinking of buying our first home and want to wait until next year to save a larger downpayment. is this a wise decision? A. The old saying NThere's no time like the present" etif applies in this case. Very low interest rates, (5.375% for a 6 month closed to 7.2% for a 5 year niortgage) combined with reduced home prices have made purchasing your own home very affordable. Depending on what you are presently spending on rent, il may be cheaper to own a home than to continue renting. How long this trend will continue is uncertain. What is certain is that the current real estate market is ripe for investment. That hard saved maney could be gobbled up if interest rates or home prices increase over the next year. My advice would be to start building equity in a home as soon as you can afford a downpayment. Summit Reaity (1991) Mt. 10 Sunray St., Unit 23, Whitby e 668-3800 15% off N, Reg.
