Your Important spine!

Have you ever wondered what your spine's job is? You spine functions to protect the delicate communication between brain cell and tissue cell. If the spine is damaged what do you think would happen to that communication? Right! bad communication between brain cell and tissue cell. Chiropractic fixes spines and restores communication between brain cell and tissue cell.

Levels of Chiropractic care

Most people don't fully understand the Chiropractic principle so when they come to a Chiro for help they may not understand what the Chiro is trying to do.  I being a Chiro know the vital importance of living a life FREE of subluxation. When someone comes to me for help I want to give them the best they can get but some times forget that some people DON'T want what chiro has to offer beyond pain relief.  The first level of Chiropractic care is RELIEF CARE.  This care is simply to get people out of pain as quick as possible and not see them again till they hurt.  This is a great alternative to the medical approach to drugging a symptom and not addressing the underlying cause.  However Relief care leaves the patient with the core problem that will eventually cause problems again when it gets bad enough and has not had a chance to optimize the patients spine and health.  
MAINTENANCE CARE is what everyone SHOULD choose. This level of care not only achieves pain relief but goes further to stabilize all areas of spinal weakness and then recommends periodic checkups to ensure its doing well and address any problems that are brewing BEFORE health is lost or the patient has pain.  Most chiros will lay out a plan of Maintenance care for their pts but not all will accept it. With this in mind make sure your chiro understands your level of commitment to your care. 

Life without Dentists?

Can you imagine a world without dental care? Imagine if you will no way to care for your teeth. Brushing and flossing maybe but no way to fill cavities, straighten teeth, treat gum disease ect...  What would that world look like? You got it, a world full of nasty, stinky toothless mouths.  When your tooth hurt your options would  be to go to your family Doctor who could give you pain killers or he could send you to a surgeon who could cut it out. Sadly, when it comes to the spine and nervous system. 95% of the population lives like there is no way to take care of it. Only 5% of the population sees a chiropractor and a great deal of that % probably don't get specific chiropractic adjustments.  What is the result? Exactly what we see to day. A bunch of bad spines and very sick people.  Make sure you take care of your spine with good specific chiropractic care. You only get one spine and it's health dictates your health.

Pain Relief Forever

If you could have a magic pill that would keep you from experiencing pain for the rest of your life would you take it? If you did you would probably be dead in a matter of months. Pain is a Gift, yes a gift from God that tells us when something is wrong.  However pain usually only shows up when something has gotten really bad. Disease is a painless process that eventually expresses symptoms.  Modern medical approaches focus on symptomatic treatment and not the maintenance of proper body function and disease prevention. Chiropractic seeks to ensure that the power that made the body can heal the body. Only when the nervous system is free from interference can life force flow from above down, inside out and give people the maximum expression of their life. Call my office today to see if you have subluxations.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis given to a person with wide spread pain and muscle soreness and no other cause can be found by a medical doctor.  These people will have tender spots virtually all over their bodies.  This pain is real, however, fibromyalgia is only a symptom of a different problem called Vertebral Subluxations.  Your Nervous system (brain, spinal chord and nerves) controls every dimension and function of the human experience.  When the joints of your spine get damaged and put pressure on nerves that irritates or distorts your Nervous system's ability to control your body.  Muscles are controlled by nerves and if the nerves to muscles are irritated that muscle goes into spasm and stays that way as long as the nerve is damaged.  If you have this going on at multiple areas for many years the muscles become damaged, fibrotic and very painful.  This is Fibromyalgia.  Chiropractic can effectively remove the subluxations that are irritating the nerves causing the muscle spasms.  When these are corrected the muscles will heal and the pain will go away.  If you have fibromyalgia, end the anxiety you have thinking you can't get rid of it and call me today.

Natural Remedies

So many people today are looking for Natural remedies because they know the dangers of taking prescription drugs so they seek an alternative.  The best natural remedy of all is Chiropractic care for Vertebral Subluxation.  Your nervous system is the master system in the body and when two bones of the spine get out of place and put pressure on nerves it causes interference in the nervous system and it can no longer control your body properly as a result your health declines or you get symptoms.  A chiropractor can detect and correct subluxations and eliminate the cause of most people symptoms without "treating" it directly.  Chiropractic is "THE" natural remedy.

Anxiety

People have Anxiety for many reasons.  Love, fear or pain to name a few.  Anxiety is a brain response to some stress.  Constant stress and anxiety cause the body to be in a state of "fight or flight" which increases the body's cortizol production and can cause weigh gain and if unchecked anxiety and stress can even be fatal.  Anxiety management is a key party of my wellness practice.  I have to give people strategies by which they can decrease their anxiety and stress.  When anxiety and stress are properly managed everything in ones life is and seems better.
