Once You Go...

It keeps a lot of people from benefiting from chiropractic: they're afraid that they will somehow get "addicted" to our care!

While many of our practice members choose to come in on a regular basis when they're feeling great, they don't have to. They want to. For...

• The early detection of vertebral subluxations
• Avoiding a relapse of their original problem
• Being their best and staying well

These are choices practice members make, based on their understanding of what we do and how they value their health. I guess it's mostly about priorities. Each of us gets to choose how much attention we want to give our health. We honor that choice. Sure, we explain the benefits of periodic checkups, but our job is to offer the finest chiropractic care possible, and then it's entirely up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Yours in Health,

Organic Foods - Unplugged

It's exciting to see all the new-found interest in organic foods, pure drinking water, exercise and fitness.
Yet, many of these well-intentioned, health-conscience people are wasting their money.



If you know someone who is shopping organically and reducing their dependence upon processed foods, but not getting regularly adjusted, they may be overlooking a key point.

Let's say you go to your favorite supermarket for your weekly shopping. And because you've wisely shopped the perimeter of the store where the fresh foods are, you return home and put things away in your fridge.  But you overlooked one little detail. It's not plugged in! So the fridge has a major vertebral subluxation at the electrical outlet.

In the same way your fridge cannot preserve, protect and prolong the vitality of your foods without a properly functioning electrical system, your body cannot properly digest, assimilate and eliminate foods with a vertebral subluxation interfering with your digestive system.

So it doesn't matter how healthy your organic food choices are, because your body won't be making the most of those healthy choices.

Your nervous system runs the whole show. If it doesn't work right, you don't work right. And if you're not working right you can't fully benefit from organic food, gym membership and other healthy habits.  Have your spine and nervous system checked and update your Nutrrtion Response Testing Analysis today!

Sick Of Debt?

 Sick of Debt? Or, more accurately, sick from debt?  Too many bills can drain your health along with your savings.  Excessive debt can eat away at your health, as well as your bank account.

There is an epidemic plaguing many people today and it’s called debt stress. 

Credit card companies and retail outlets have made it easier to obtain credit on demand and they are perfectly agreeable to generous credit limits. But all of this “generosity” comes with a high price tag – exorbitant interest rates that make it relatively easy to amass a lot of debt in a short period of time and minimum payments that barely put a dent in the amount owed.

The average homeowner has 10 credit cards, each with an average interest rate of 19%. Paying only the minimum payment means it would take years to pay each card off. And all of this debt is causing a lot of stress and health-related concerns for plenty of people.

Mental disorders, migraines, heart disease, high blood pressure, weight gain/loss, insomnia – these are just a few of the by-products of debt stress. For some, spending is an addiction, just like alcohol, drugs or gambling, and it needs to be treated in much the same way.

What can you do about your overwhelming and out-of-control debt? Here are some suggestions to help you regain control of your debt and your health:

• Seek the advice and guidance of a reputable credit counselor.
  Contact your creditors and advise them of your situation before you are late or miss a payment; many will work with you to set up financially feasible payment schedules.
• Reduce spending and stop incurring new debt.
• Use a debit card instead of a credit card.
• Use money in a savings account that is earning minimal interest, to pay off any high-interest credit cards.

It is possible, with determination and the adoption of some new spending rules, to regain your credit and your personal health. It starts with admitting that you have a problem and moving on from there to help yourself.

Good or Bad?

It seems a week doesn't pass that we don't hear something in the media about the dangers of eating, drinking or coming into contact with one substance or another. Even more confusing is that if you wait long enough, someone else comes out with another study extolling its health benefits!

Consider some of things that the "authorities" have flip-flopped about concerning their safety:
Sushi, Red meat, NutraSweet, Sucralose, Saccharin, Dyes, Perfumes, High fat foods, Eggs, Decaffeinated coffee, White bread, Hot dogs, Sugar, White flour, Coffee, Carbohydrates, Tap water, Margarine, Butter, Wheat, GM corn, Fluoride, Silver fillings, Tuna, Bacon.

Consider this. For every person who has had an adverse effect, millions have not. In fact, we've all heard of those in their 80s, 90s or older claiming their secret to longevity was the result of eating or drinking something we've been told is bad for us.

Hmmm. Maybe it's not just the substances. Maybe it's our attitude, stress level, ability to adapt (nervous system integrity), the toxicity of our environment and a constellation of countless other issues at play. What do you think?

A Nutrition Response Testing Analysis will accurately determine how your body is reacting to a variety of stressors including heavy metals, food sensitivities, other chemicals, virus, bacteria, parasites, yeast, fungus and more!  Call today for an analysis!

Do You Get the Message

Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones. But the fact is, we're much more interested in nerves. In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain and the body and from the body back to the brain.

Any type of disruption can distort or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain. The result can be ill health.

A common culprit is the 24 moving bones of the spine that cover your spinal cord. When spinal bones lose their normal motion or position, it can irritate nearby nerves. Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care can help a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it"s "all in their head" or that they"ll have to "learn to live with it." Worse, someone who thinks they have a muscle relaxer shortage! Send them our way or forward our blog and practice website to them.

Pain is Not the Problem

Many people begin chiropractic care because of an ache or a pain. Pain can be distracting, debilitating, irritating or annoying. Pain can be chronic, acute, intense or intermittent. Pain can be sharp or dull, specific or general.

But pain is not the problem!

Pain is a symptom. A signal. A sign. Pain is no more a problem than a traffic signal or your alarm clock announcing that it's time to start the day. If there's a problem, it's the meaning we attach to the pain.

When we meet practice members who are in pain, besides being compassionate, our first thought is that they must have exceeded some physical, chemical or emotional limit to which they can no longer adapt. So, while we're interested in the pain, we're even more interested in what was the underlying cause of the pain. Plus, what should the practice member do to avoid this in the future?

Do you know someone who thinks pain is a problem? Please send them our way. Because in our practice pain is never a problem

If I Could Do It All Again...

We all get caught up in the busy-ness of life, and sometimes the most important things are the very things we neglect.

Fortunately, we can change that habit any time we choose! Don't wait until your kids are grown to think about what you'd like to do differently - do it differently now!

If I had my child to raise all over again...

I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I'd ignore the stares and stare at more stars.

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

I'd see the oak in the acorn more often.

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.

I'd abandon my love of power, for the power of love.

Be the extraordinary parent you always wanted to be. Today!
