Why We Share Chiropractic

I recently had the opportunity to share Hands On Health Chiropractic’s vision for health and healing with our local Rotary Club of Brick, NJ, and in addition to meeting a bunch of great individuals involved in some awesome services to our community it also got me thinking. Why is that Chiropractors are so ready and willing to get out and tell people about their service?

We Share Chiropractic because it is not a commodity. Everyone has a dentist and an eye doctor, but many people view the Chiropractor as someone who they may visit once or twice if they have a problem. We like to get out and share just what people are capable of with regular Chiropractic Care.

We share Chiropractic because there are countless testimonials of people whose lives have changed with regular care and hearing how our service has helped others is a great way to understand how you may benefit as well.

We share Chiropractic because what we do is different! Chiropractic is founded on a philosophy of Health and Healing which is unique from most conventional Health Care approaches. We like to share our approach so the general public may understand the value of Regular Chiropractic Care.

We share Chiropractic because it’s about LIFE! We share chiropractic because it isn’t just about back and neck pain. Regular Chiropractic Care is about expressing your fullest potential for Health and Life, which is something that we believe every-body is entitled to.

We share chiropractic because when we remain clear we become increasingly conscious of the way our choices are affecting us, not just in regards to Health, but the people and community around us as a whole.

5 Reasons Chiropractic Makes a Great Gift

Our greatest compliment comes when our existing clients share our vision for Health and Healing with those whom they know and love.

1. Life is Stressful…
During the holidays we double down. Getting adjusted regularly allows us to counteract the effects of stress before they get you down!

2. Chiropractic Keeps Us Healthy
The flu is not a season, it’s an inability to adapt to the things we’re exposed to. During the holidays we become increasingly susceptible because we’re overstressed in every way possible.

3. Help make Resolutions a Reality
Many people resolve to be healthier after the holidays. Chiropractic helps by keeping the spine moving properly and the nervous system clear so we can exercise more easily, burn calories more efficiently, and make great decisions about our health.

4. Never too early to start getting ready for the Spring…
Everyone wants to enjoy the sights and sounds of Summer and June is too late to start. Invest in your future NOW to take advantage of all the enjoyable opportunities coming your way.

5. Getting Adjusted is AWESOME!
Our practice is the furthest thing from a stuffy doctor’s office. When you visit us we’ll address your Spine with a Gentle and Honoring approach in a manner that is timely and accessible so you can get back to the things that are important to you.

Give the gift of chiropractic so you and your family can continue to express your greatest potential for Health and Life.

How Will Chiropractic Help Your Child Have the Best School Year Yet?

Every Family has their annual back to school rituals; new shoes, school supplies, fresh haircuts, but most of us don’t equate back to school time with a trip to our Chiropractor. In fact, many people believe that unless their backaches there isn’t a reason to visit a Chiropractor.

Statistically, chances are that just wearing a backpack for the next 9 months will provide a great reason to get your child’s spine checked. Did you know that 1 in every 3, five to eight-year old’s misses school or extracurricular activities due to back pain and that 64% of 11 to 15-year-olds attribute discomfort directly to the weight of their backpacks?

If these back-facts aren’t enough, the benefits of regular Chiropractic care extend far beyond helping “sick” or injured people get well. What sets Vitalistic Chiropractors apart from the herd is the understanding that living things are designed to be healthy, and that we exist as the expression of intelligent forces through our physical body. From the time that we’re conceived these forces follow a timeless blueprint to guide our development, growth, healing, digestion, and so much more!

By keeping our Nervous System CLEAR with regular chiropractic care each and every part of our body functions to the best of our ability. As a result of regular chiropractic care, children have demonstrated enhanced learning and concentration, behavioral issues have improved, bed-wetting has resolved, and immunity is enhanced leading to fewer colds, earaches, and general illness.

In many ways, children are the ideal Chiropractic client! They are growing faster and developing far more readily than you or I, and our children only get one opportunity to grow into adults! Just like the way that cavities may go undetected until it’s too late, spinal subluxations begin affecting our health long before we become hurt or sick. Much like brushing your teeth, Chiropractic care works best when used consistently. That’s why we’ve got your back whether it’s September, January, or June!

Get your family checked so they may continue to express their greatest potential for Health and Life… Today!

10 Reasons to Bring Your Child to the Chiropractor

Children have spines and a nervous system just like adults. At Hands On Health, we want to make sure they are taking good care of it especially during the developmental years. Here are 10 reasons why you should schedule an adjustment for your child.

1. Sixty-four percent of 11 to 15-year-olds reported back pain due to the weight of their backpack 1

2. One-third of 5 to 8-year-olds reported back pain that caused them to miss school, extracurricular activities, or visit the doctor 2

3. 55% of students carry a backpack heavier than the recommended weight 1

4. Backpacks with tight, narrow shoulder straps can interfere with nerve function and circulation resulting in tingling, numbness, and weakness in the arms and hands

5. Backpack induced posture changes can affect the knees and change the way children walk

6. Adjustments encourage enhanced neural plasticity (brain development and memory formation)

7. Studies have shown that chiropractic care helps young athletes heal following injuries, removing the need for painkillers or invasive surgery

8. Being adjusted regularly will strengthen the child's immunity, and may reduce the incidence of colds, ear-aches, and general illness

9. Young people who get adjusted are balanced, stronger, faster, and have more physical and mental endurance in sports and extracurricular activities

10. Proprioceptors play a major role in control and coordination! Regular chiropractic adjustments not only help your child’s coordination, but supply their brain with information so they may adapt and respond efficiently and effectively.

Want to be part of something Revolutionary?

As our regular readers know, we’re incredibly proud to make regular, specific chiropractic care available through our monthly membership programs.

Healthcare memberships are a growing trend among primary care providers, as the Indianapolis Business Journal reported earlier this month. Why? Soaring healthcare costs and insurance carriers tightening their grip by limiting whom their members may see, for how long, and at what costs has driven more and more providers to find ways of making their care directly accessible to the consumer.

Despite the fact that less than 2% of primary care practitioners offer membership access to their services, twenty-one states have enacted laws to regulate this approach to health-care, which tell us that we’re onto something special!

Regular Chiropractic Care and Memberships go hand in hand for a number of reasons:
The practice of Chiropractic does not center on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of symptoms, that is the practice of medicine. Instead, Chiropractors focus on restoring proper function to the body so it may regulate and heal in the way that it was designed to.

Traditional Fee-for-Service care aims to correct a symptomatic issue with a single or series of treatments, prescription(s), or procedures. Chiropractic promotes regular care for the fullest expression of Health, Life, Vitality, and Well-Being. We believe the everyone deserves to be their absolute best, whether they’re sick, healthy, symptomatic, young, old, or anything else.

Health Insurance Benefits were designed to ease the burden of high-cost services in the traditional fee for service model. Much like Auto or Homeowner's Insurance this is appropriate when something costly and unexpected occurs. Membership options allow us to set a reasonable fee for our service while granting access to our practice members who regularly strive for continued and better health.

Insurance benefits do not cover maintenance services. Dental Insurance doesn’t cover new toothbrushes and floss to keep our teeth healthy, yet we brush our teeth daily whether our breath smells or not. Regular Chiropractic Care is about expressing one’s greatest potential for living by maintaining proper Nervous System function, and we believe that people should be checked for subluxations even if they’re not in pain. Memberships allow people to get checked regularly, so they may adapt and function to the best of their ability.

Insurance carries make decisions regarding your health while calculating their profit margins dictating who you may see, for how many visits, and what service(s) the practitioner may perform. At Hands On Health our practice members get Access to Care; it isn’t ala carte, there are no additional fees, penalties, limitations, or hurdles. Memberships allow us to make better health as simple, easy, and accessible as possible.

Since our model is simple, we are able to keep our costs and overhead low, so many of our members find our memberships to be more affordable than their annual Deductible, visit Copay/Coinsurance, and noncovered services which may be deemed Not Medically Necessary.

Everything Heals…. Even Discs

Spinal Discs are a big topic these days; just ask your family members, I bet a few will tell you that they’ve had herniated or blown discs in their spine.

While many people believe that Disc Injuries are some sort of life-sentence to be tortured periodically, emerging evidence is saying quite the contrary. As a matter of fact, pooled data from eleven studies suggest that 66% of non-surgically managed disc herniations actually heal. Surprisingly some of the most severe injuries, show the most significant changes suggesting that acute imaging studies (MRI and CT) give little information regarding the actual likelihood of healing.

Chiropractic stresses the innate recuperative healing potential of the body, understanding that we are in a constant state of turnover, that our body always seeks to maintain homeostasis, that we do so to the best of our ability given what we have to work with, and that healing occurs as an expression of the same intelligence which has guided our growth and development since conception. Are Spinal Discs some sort of mystic structure that the body can not heal? Of course not, although there are a few special considerations.

Spinal Discs in adults do not receive direct blood flow which limits their access to oxygen and nutrients necessary for healing, this is further compounded when the spine is subluxated and not moving optimally.

As a result, disc cells take a long time to turn-over and Heal after an injury. Think about it, if we cut ourselves our skin cells turn over in 5-10 days, when we break a bone it requires 4-6 weeks; every type of cell in our body has a predetermined time to turnover and Disc cells take the longest.

Most importantly, we can only work with what we’ve got. If we have poor nutrition we may not possess the building blocks needed to restore the relevant tissues. If we have more important issues going on, our body will direct its attention toward them first. Most importantly, if we have subluxations and are not CLEAR, our brain may not accurately perceive our injury, and may not be able to coordinate its healing in the most efficient manner possible.

While spinal disc injuries may change our approach to adjusting the spine, they do not change our objective or our recommendations. Everyone deserves to have a Nervous System which is fully functional and free from interference, and if we wish to live well and heal efficiently, we must be CLEAR, CONNECTED, and WELL ADJUSTED!

Chiropractic & Pregnancy

Pregnancy and birth are probably the greatest example of how amazing we really are. I’ve been more, and more in complete and total awe of the miracle of life because my wife, Rebecca, is currently 17 weeks pregnant. Every week as we research what changes are occurring and how our baby is growing, I am reminded that embryological and fetal development occur way beyond our conscious control.

No matter how much we manifest, plan, hope, dream, and wish we have zero control over gender, development, eye color, or which parts of the body will form before others. The truth is, despite our individual differences each and every one of us has followed exactly the same blueprint of development and growth. This Innate mechanism is coded so specifically within our DNA that it happens whether or not we’re even aware of it.

The process begins the instant a sperm fertilizes an egg, in that moment a Life-Force is present and multiple millennia of human history began replaying as 1 cell divides into 2, and from 2 to 4, and so on. All while being guided by this unseen force, long before most mothers are even aware that it’s happening. This process occurs while mom’s own body is changing to support the implantation of her embryo by developing a placenta, beginning to double her blood supply, and by nourishing the developing baby.

New life is so awesome, and so Innately Intelligent that just two weeks after conception our little embryo had developed clear brain regions, by week 5 its heart had begun beating, and by week seven was producing over 100 brain cells per minute!

So, Why Chiropractic?

Because Chiropractic is about supporting everything that is Innate and Right about us!

Since we only get one opportunity to transition from an embryo into a fetus, pregnancy is an opportune time to receive Chiropractic Care. Keeping free of spinal subluxations and nerve interference allows mom’s and baby’s Innate Intelligence to guide the development of a healthy new human being.

When moms remain well-adjusted through pregnancy their babies are free to move and turn so there are significantly fewer breech babies resulting in less cesarean sections and many women report less nausea, increased comfort throughout their pregnancy, and even shorter labor times while under Regular Chiropractic Care. 

Our practice of Chiropractic is unique because we don’t seek to treat discomfort, but to restore and preserve the greatest expression of each and every individual’s innate capacity for optimal Health! Chiropractic acknowledges that our bodies were designed to be self-healing and self-regulating, and that interference with the transmission of information in our nervous system results in miscommunication much like interference does to your cell-phone reception.

I’m excited to share our journey as my wife’s pregnancy progresses, as we revere in the awesome power that resides within us all, and as we welcome our well-adjusted newborn into the Hands On Health community.
