New Goderich chiropractors hav
When Doug Norsworthy and Helen
Gianoulis finished their studies at the
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College,
their first order of business was to find a
place to practice their profession.
After touring the province, the couple
settled on Goderich and have taken over
the clinic formerly operated by retiring
lccal chiropractor Herbert Such, at 107
South Street.
"We were looking for the best area for
the plans we had as far as lifestyle and
careers. Goderich was so pretty, with the
water and the beaches - not too many
communities can really compare with
what's here," said Norsworthy.
Norsworthy and Gianoulis are both
graduates of . the Canadian Memorial
Chiropractic College; The private Toronto
school, which offers a four-year course in
the field, is the only chiropractic collegein
Canada.
Norsworthy is originally from Windsor
and graduated after four years at the
University of Windsor with his Honors
B.Sc., before enrolling in the CMCC
.program. '
Gianoulis, a native of Regina, Saskat-
chewan, became interested in chiropractic
through an aquaintance in the field. While
still in high school, she researched the sub-
ject thoroughly and interviewed a number
of practicing chiropractors and was con-
vinced she wanted to enter the field by the
time she graduated.
She took a two-year pre -chiropractic
(similar. to pre -medicine) course at the
University „of Regina. Saskatchewan, she
'notes,' is the only province which offers a
pre -chiropractic course of any kind. •
Norsworthy and Gianoulis met while at
the CMCC and began dating during their
fourth year at the college. They were mar-
ried this past summer after completing the
course and, immediately embarked on a
sort of "working honeymoon," in the Third
World Country of Sri Lanka, where they
studied clinical acupuncture at the In-
stitute of Acupuncture, Homeopuncture
and Lasertherapy, Colombo South General
Hospital, in the city of Kaluboe'vila:
Acupuncture is not taught as a part, of
the course at the CMCC, but the couple
wanted to learn the ancient practice as a
way of broadening options for treating
patients.
"A lot of the theory and research into
• how acupuncture works is the same as in
chiropractic," said Norsworthy.
Acupuncture gives the chiropractor an
alternative method with which to treat
some patients, he explained.

"If I'm treating you as a chiropractor
and you 'come in with a case of eczema,
I'm going to have trouble helping you," he
said. However, he added, there is evidence
to suggest many skin disorders can be suc-
cessfully treated with acunpuncture.
While the treatment can be effective,
Northsworthy notes It can take longer than
traditional treatments..

to be patient; it takes a longer period of
time to work, but, you don't have the side
effects of_steriods (which can also be used
to treat skin disorders)," he explained.
The couple chose the Sri Lanka program
(they stayed for four weeks, working in the
hospital administering hands-on treat-
ment) over the other options because of
the "clinical experience," it offered.
"There are courses here and in the
States for four weekends in a row, but it's
more laser acupuncture (as opposed to us-
ing the more traditional needles) and you
don't get the clinical experience you get
seeing people for three or four hours a
day," said Gianoulis.
"We were actually placing needles in pa-
tients right from the first day we were
there," added Norsworthy.
"It takes a long time to learn how to nee-
dle properly and painlessly," so the prac-
tical experience of placing the needles was
invaluable, said Norsworthy.
Although the practice of acupuncture is
not governed by legislation in Canada (you
do not need a license to practice it)
Norsworthy said some sort of medical or
scientific background is imperative to
those who wish to practice it successfully.
Acupuncture points are located primari-
ly by following anatomical landmarks.
This makes an indepth knowledge of
human anatomy essential. '
"Because of the anatomical landmarks,
you really need a medical background or I
don't think they would accept you into the
course," said Norsworthy.
There are a variety of problems which
lend themselves to acupuncture treatment
according to a provisional list drawn up by
the World Health Organization in 1979.
These include disorders of the eye, mouth,
respiratory system, musculo-skelatal
system and gastro-intestinal system.
While in Sri Lanka, Norsworthy said he
saw a case of "Frozen Shoulder," suc-
cessfully treated in a matter of seconds
with the application of a single needle.
While acupuncture might be the most
novel of their methods, it is only one aspect
of Norsworthy and Gianoulis' practice.
They also have a fully -equipped facility for
treatment of patients through more tradi-
tional chiropractic methods, having pur
chased Such's equipment along with the
business.
The clinic officially opened under their
management on Oct. 19.
