As specialist in
ergonomics and chiropractics, Dr. Rachel Frozenfar has been assisting companies
in the prevention and cure of ergonomic and work related injuries since 1987.
Throughout the country and in Silicon Valley, repetitive stress injury is
generally caused from physical work-related habits that are easily remedied by a
trained ergonomics specialist. High tech workers experience long days at the
office with little alternative movement. It is estimated that American business
is losing 15 billion dollars a year due to these injuries in health care,
workers comp costs, and missed days due to sickness. Dr. Frozenfar lectures
about how injury can be prevented and cured.

Valley Chiropractic, is located in
Los Altos, CA. Patients are seen regularly for a multitude of problems as well
as prevention of injury. Prior to running a practice in the Bay Area, Dr.

She has consulted for
United Airlines, Future Industrial Technologies, 4D (computer company), Sutter
Health, the City of Sunnyvale and in elementary schools in the area.

the United States, Dr. Frozenfar ran a chiropractic practice in Israel, where
she designed and implemented protocol for prevention of injury in the workplace
for OSHA. Throughout the project, she created over 700 lectures to
