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.

Tech-Neck

Technology moves at an astounding rate; it seems as though each month there is a new App, an Update, or a Faster Better Device. However, as we chase the Next, Best, New thing we rarely stop to think about the toll that our bodies are incurring.

• What happens to our Eyes when we stare at the screen for too long?
• How does all the high definition movement stimulate our Brain?
• What type of changes are we going to see in our hands, wrists, and thumbs from typing?
• What about our Neck?

I don’t mean to pick on Pokemon, but the current phenomenon illustrates an extremely relevant point. Our constant connection to technology has an effect on our overall health! A 2014 study from the Surgical Technology International Journal found that minor changes to our head and neck posture result in significant forces being imparted on our spine. These findings are so staggering that when forward head posture reaches 60 degrees, it’s as if the head weighs an additional 60 lbs!

Essentially, our technology is becoming a Significant Source of Stress effecting a multitude of normal, natural physiologic functions.

Don’t believe me? The same study concluded that these changes have a DIRECT impact on Serotonin Levels, Testosterone Levels, Energy, and inflammatory substances like Cortisol…. But How? Let’s Review:

Stress (using technology) results in changes in Spinal Alignment (Subluxations) which irritate Nerves directly impacting the way our body Functions. The longer interference is present, the greater the effect. This may manifest as an illness, ache, pain, degenerative process, low lab level, or in many other ways.

Chiropractors understand this relationship and adjust the spine to maintain proper posture and alignment, keep the nervous system free of interference, and allow your body to function as it was intended to. In our technology-dominant culture it has become increasingly important that every individual be checked for Spinal Subluxations BEFORE an unpleasant symptom grabs our attention.

After all, it is much easier to keep the wheel balanced, then it is to bend and mold it back into alignment….

Chiro-Kids

Many of us understand that our children are our future, and most parents will do whatever is within their means to assure that their little ones have the greatest possible potential for success. At Hands On Health in Brick, New Jersey, we say that when it comes to getting checked for subluxations, kids are our MOST Important Clients!

Let’s start at the beginning; we know that Subluxations form as the result of STRESS. But shouldn’t a child’s life be relatively stress-free? Even though our offspring aren’t worrying about paying bills or making dinner their existence is not devoid of stress. For many of us, it begins with birth. Did you know that average nearly-newborns encounter up to 120 pounds of pressure distributed across their head and neck as they enter the world? Furthermore, the world that a newborn enters is a dramatic departure from the womb that they’ve been inhabiting; there are bright lights, changing temperatures, gravity, and even the need to breathe for themselves.

As children age and mature their stresses become slightly more familiar to us. Most of us would agree that there is a normal degree of bumps and bruises as we grow and develop. Did you know that children fall hundreds of time before they learn to walk?  Do you think that these very “normal” tumbles impact and affect their developing skeletal system?

Science has confirmed that proper spinal alignment and motion generates a multitude of neurological stimulation affecting multiple parts of the Brain. When subluxations develop and the spine stops moving properly the flow of this information ceases resulting in autonomic nervous system imbalance and the nerves in our body being exposed to undue pressure and irritation.

Due to the nature of growth and adolescence, a young person’s rate of cellular turnover is much greater than yours or mine. This means that they have the ability to Heal Faster, Adapt Quicker, and tend to be slightly more pliable while their bodies develop. Essentially kids handle their stress better than adults do largely because their bodies are designed to experience it. Despite this, young people are not immune to the effects of Subluxations. Actually, this is WHY we say that kids are our most important clients.

Health and growth occur through the processes of cellular regeneration and proliferation, both of which are controlled and coordinated by the brain and nervous system, so it is pertinent that these structures remain CLEAR and FREE from interference. By maintaining an accurate flow of information between the brain and the body we give our children the tools to maximize their potential for health, healing, growth, development, maturation, and life.

We only get one opportunity to develop from a child into an adult; why not assure that the process occurs with as little interference as possible? Have your entire family checked for subluxations regularly to assure their continued development and optimal expression of LIFE!

Everyone Benefits from Chiropractic Care - Even Chiropractors!

We strongly believe in making regular chiropractic care a sustainable investment in your future because it’s the same care that we recommend to our friends, families, and especially ourselves. As many of my clients know, I have been a Chiropractic client since birth, and continue to get checked weekly for subluxations to assure my continued development, and to moderate the effects of stress before issues arise.

Some people find Chiropractic as a last resort, others as part of a care-regiment; maybe being referred from another provider, but the true benefits of regular care go far beyond the resolution of numbness, back pain, headaches, or some other condition. While it is true that precise spinal adjustments restore biomechanical integrity, increase mobility, reduce inflammation, and help things heal it is important to recognize most issues develop over time and the unpleasant symptom which gets our attention is actually a signal of distress as our body attempts to alert us that something’s wrong.

Chiropractic is really all about the Nervous System. Science tells us that our nerves are responsible for everything that our body does. An inability of any nerve to carry information from the brain to the body is called paralysis, quite literally it means that if a nerve stops working so does that region of the body.

But what happens when a nerve is kind-of working?

What if it’s only conducting 50% of the signal? Would the body work at 50%? What would that be like? How would we know? When we respond to stress of various forms by developing Spinal Subluxations the result is pressure, tension, and irritation to nervous tissue. Whether we realize it or not, this affects the ability of any nerve to carry information, and ultimately affects the way our body will function. That may result in a muscle spasm, a digestive sensitivity, or slightly greater susceptibility to illness. We have no way of telling how or what 1 Vertebral Subluxation may affect, but we know the effects will only increase as time goes on. Inevitably, the reduced function will be perceived as pain, symptom, illness, or disease and we’ll generally seek treatment.

I get checked and adjusted every week whether I have an ache or pain or not. I want to be sure that my body is free of interference and working to continually adapt, heal, and keep me functioning as well as possible for as long as possible.

In many cases the greatest Chiropractic Testimonials are the ones that never get recorded. The Allergies that never develop, the Illness that never occurs, and all the Healthy Kids who grow and develop without interference; just as they were intended to.

What are Spinal Nerves?

Our bodies possess over 45 Miles of Nerves! We generally categorize them into two parts: our Central Nervous System, and our Peripheral Nervous System. The central Nervous System consists of our Brain and Spinal Cord both of which are so important that our bodies have surrounded them with bone for protection. Our Brain being encased within our skull, and our Spinal cord floating ever so gently down the center of our spine. Our Peripheral Nervous System consists of every other nerve cell within our bodies.

Our Spinal Nerves branch directly off of our Spinal Cord and pass through the spaces in between the vertebrae of our Spine. These 31 pairs of nerves represent the physical link between the two major parts of our nervous system! Take a moment to consider the fact that each and every time we experience the breeze on our face, the touch of a loved one, or even the sting of discomfort; our Spinal Nerves carry that information from our body to our spinal cord, and in an instant it is conducted to our brain where we integrate and understand what’s going on.

More importantly, each and every time our bodies do something like move a muscle, digest our dinner, or even change our blood pressure our spinal nerves are at work! When our Brain receives information it responds in the most appropriate manner sending a signal back down our spinal cord, through a spinal nerve, and off to the region of the body that is intended to receive it.

But How?

Our Nervous system is HIGHLY organized, it needs to be in order to process all of the information that it does. Some of our nerves only carry sensory information from our body in and up to our brain, others exclusively carry output from the brain down and out to the different parts of our bodies. However, certain nerves, like our Spinal Nerves, carry both; even though different types of signals are generated by different types of receptors, and are carried to different parts of the brain and/or body. Take a look at the cross-sectioned picture of a Spinal Nerve below. In the center is a blood vessel, and surrounding it are many round bundles of Nerve Tissue. These bundles are like lanes on a highway carrying different types of information to and from different places, at different speeds. Some sense pressure, others perceive touch, others may innervate a hamstring, colon, or even detect how far a tendon is being stretched.

Chiropractic keep your Nervous System FREE and CLEAR of interference so every bit of information that it processes can be transmitted to its intended destination quickly, clearly, and accurately allowing every part of our body to work exactly how it is intended to!

What do The Clash, Chiropractic, & Black Sabbath have in common?

Terry Chimes, that’s what!

“During my time in music, I saw how people’s health was determined by their lifestyle.”

At age 19, Terry Chimes began playing music with Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, within a year they merged with Joe Strummer and Keith Levine to form The Clash, changing the course of Rock, Punk, and popular culture. However, it wasn’t until he was touring with Black Sabbath in 1987 that Terry was introduced to his lasting purpose; Chiropractic.

Much like Dr. Tyler White, Terry understands that Chiropractic in, its essence, is very much a punk-rock, revolutionary approach to Health and Life! From its inception in 1895 the practice of Chiropractic has never been intended as an alternative or rival to conventional medical care. Conversely, the unique philosophy of Chiropractic, the preservation of health and facilitation of optimal performance in all domains of Life, is drastically different from the pharmaceutically based and symptom-centered treatment protocols which permeate our culture. 

“I have another life now, standing up against massive corporations who want to ruin everyone’s health and make money out of it, whether with genetically-modified foods, sugar-laden rubbish, or drugs we don’t really need.”

Terry is a long time vegetarian, and lives a Drug and Alcohol Free lifestyle. He retired from music in 1989 to attend Bournemouth Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, worked in China, London, and has been operating his own practice in Essex since 1993.

In addition to his practice Terry currently plays drums with The Crunch, supports multiple charities, coaches developing chiropractors and small business owners, is an author, and a public speaker. “People say to me: Don’t you miss playing in front of 70,000 people? Well, I’ll probably see 70,000 patients before I die. Getting people well and making them happy: I don’t think I’ll ever want to stop doing that.”

How may we, "Express our Potential for Health?" When used as a Verb, "Express" may be defined as the ability to Show, Reveal, or Manifest. "Potential" is commonly defined as what is possible, or what something or someone is capable of being. As a Vitalistic Chiropractor I understand that most of us are born with the Potential to LIVE, and to do so in Health. In some ways the two go hand in hand; the healthier we are, the more we may be able to live our lives.

Believe it or not, the vast majority of us are born with Unlimited Potential. We have the ability to become what we wish, to cultivate our gifts, pursue education, and to be fit, but we also possess the potential to be neglectful, engage in risky behaviors, and we even have the potential fall ill. Most of us are born a variable blank slate; we enter the world as a self-regulating, self-healing organism capable of creating and recreating every type of cell in our bodies thanks to the coordinated role of our Nervous System. Quite literally, we are born with an endless potential to fulfill the process that science calls Healing, a process which serves to keep us both Healthy and Alive.

Unfortunately, we are also born facing countless Choices; what to do, what to eat, when to sleep, and the list goes on and on. Where many of us fail to make the connection is by failing to acknowledge that our choices can limit our potential. Think about it, by choosing to ignore an injury in our youth we may limit our potential to be an athlete later in life. If we choose to avoid exercise, smoke tobacco and live on fast food, we'll probably limit our potential for optimal cardiovascular health.

When we understand how Subluxations affect our body's ability to communicate, control, and coordinate itself, it becomes CLEAR how choosing to be Regular with proactive Chiropractic Care facilitates our ability to Express our limitless capacity for Health, Healing, and inevitably Life.

Laying the Foundation

I was once told that, "Our Belief System is just as important as every other System in the Body." 

To which I initially thought, How? We have no way to measure it's function like we do for our Cardiovascular System? We can't visualize it like our Skeletal System, and we don't "Feel" it like we do the supple structures of our Nervous System. Nevertheless, I maintain that is is just as important, if not MORE important than the other systems. Most simply put; our Belief System has the power to guide the things we choose to, (and not to) do.

Think about it, we teach our children not to steal, because we believe it to be unethical or wrong. Conversely we may choose to eat fruits and vegetables because we believe them to be beneficial to us. We even choose to obey certain laws based on our beliefs; ever been caught speeding, jaywalking, or worse? Was it because of an utter disrespect, or because we didn't believe the importance of the associated statute.

We have the ability to belief whatever we wish, but that which we hold true begins to drive the decisions we make. Sometimes, our beliefs influence our values, and occasionally they may even feed our needs. However, one thing remains constant. Our Beliefs, are crafted by information. The more we learn and experience, the more our belief system evolves. On the day we get our driver's license most of us believe that exceeding 65 miles per hour was dangerous, but over time experiential wisdom suggests that a vehicle may be safely operated beyond that speed given the appropriate conditions. Following this revelation we are presented with a choice; we may choose to obey the posted limits, or we may choose to exceed them with the belief that it is safe to do so. 

Choosing to initiate Chiropractic Care is no different. We must be exposed to information, which will help us formulate a belief, and drive a decision based on the perceived benefits. In order to facilitate the execution of informed Chiropractic decision making we choose to hold weekly office orientations. These gatherings provide an opportunity to learn the philosophy, and science of Chiropractic so members of our community may choose whether they wish to live in a paradigm of treatment, recovery, and reactive thinking or one of Proactive Health, Healing, and Well-being. Our Orientations are a perfect opportunity to share our service with the people in your life who can benefit from the greatest expression of their capacity for Health, Healing, Adaptation, and Life. 

Join us this month for one of our upcoming Chiropractic Orientations and learn what Chiropractic can do for you!

Snow + Stress + Spines = Snow-bluxations

At this point, the inevitable seems unavoidable; the bread isles are barren, gas tanks are full, and we can not deny that SNOW is On The Way! 

Fortunately, TODAY is the Perfect time to add getting checked, adjusted, and to being CLEAR to your list of preparations before battening down the hatches with those you love. 

As many of us know SUBLUXATIONS form as our bodies respond to STRESS, which much like your favorite ice cream cone, generally comes in 2 sizes and 3 flavors. While the stress that we incur may be BIG or little it generally affects us Physically, Chemically, or Mentally & Emotionally. For many of us this pending winter weather can and will affect us in multiple ways; let's take a look:

1. Physical Stress: How many shovels of wet, heavy snow will it take for us to develop subluxations, tight muscles, interference, and inflammation? Ten? Twenty? Thirty? Three Hundred? By getting clear TODAY you will have the benefit of approaching this daunting task with ease and balance. But what about the BIG Stresses? In poor conditions we become exposed to a multitude of LARGE physical stresses as well; slips, falls, even auto accidents as cars slip and slide toward their destinations. When we're Clear & Well Adjusted we have the ability to adapt to these large scale stresses to the best of our ability; this may mean catching our balance or limiting the forces that our bodies absorb if we make contact with something hard. 
2. Mental / Emotional Stress: This stage has already begun! The planning, worry, and the unexpected can get us all worked up and worried. For many of us the power outages which followed Sandy are a not so distant memory, and have us planning for the what if's and worse case scenarios. By keeping well adjusted we can approach our mental and emotional stress with a level mind and a rational thought process. Have a plan, execute it if necessary, and most importantly stay calm. 
3. Chemical Stress: In this situation these are usually self imposed. When we're presented with days locked in with our loved ones many of us choose to self-medicate. Over indulging on libations and comfort foods become a chemical stress. Everything that enters our mouth must be processed and removed from our digestive system. If we're just consuming empty calories we're not going to regain the energy that we're expending. Getting adjusted keeps all of your systems working properly through the CLEAR and coordinated actions of Nervous System. Keeping FREE and Connected will also help us stay well by allowing our Immune System to work just as it was intended to. 

When the snow settles, we'll be here.... But Why Wait? Call today and get Tuned-Up!

You Can Heal the Symptom, but NOT Affect the Cause

We all know about symptoms...Symptoms are the things that make us feel crumby right? Sometimes they’re perceived as being Painful, Feverish, Digestive, Swollen, Tingling, Weak, or in many other ways.

As Americans we propagate two BIG misconceptions when it comes to the things that make us feel, well... sick.

1. The negative ache, pain, sniffle, sneeze, or symptom must be the problem.
2. When the symptom clears up we're all better, and back to business as usual. More often than not, that negative symptom is NOT the problem, but is our body's best attempt at expressing the issue to get our attention. In some cases the things that "Feel Bad" are actually the result of our bodies working to Keep Us Functioning Properly!

Let's look at a few examples:

• Pain: We all know it because most of us have experienced it. However, even PAIN has a Purpose! It keeps us from doing more damage to ourselves. It sounds an alarm so we can rest, and HEAL just like the Smoke Alarm in your home alerts you to the presence of an issue before it's too late. What do you do when the alarm sounds? Do you remove the Battery? Or would you look for the source of the smoke? Treating Pain, is much like removing the battery, it allows us to ignore the alarm and keep doing damage until the Pain-Flames get so BIG they're unavoidable.

• Swelling: Much like pain, swelling has a purpose. It draws extra blood and nutrients into an injured area to promote Healing, while limiting motion to prevent further damage. Many times Joint-Swelling acts just like an Innate Splint. If we choose to "treat" swelling we may allow ourselves to "Feel" better, but pain relievers will not repair the instability or injuries for which the inflammatory response was initiated.

• Fever: Fevers also serve a multitude of physiological functions. By turning up our internal thermostat our bodies are able to kill off invading Bacteria & Viruses. Fever's also increase Red Blood Cell and Immune Cell Production to help us Fight off an Infection. Fevers even limit the availability of Iron which invading bacteria need to replicate.

The practice of Chiropractic is unique in its approach because a Chiropractic Adjustment was not designed to Treat or Alleviate any symptom(s). More importantly, the purpose of a Specific, Scientific Chiropractic Adjustment is simply to support the body's natural mechanisms of healing by keeping the Nervous System Clear so the brain may receive accurate, timely information about the state of the being, and so the body may receive clear orders how to function.

The BEST time to get checked and adjusted may be when you're expressing symptoms. What better time is there to assure that you’re Functioning at your best than when your body's working harder than normal to HEAL.

Wouldn't you tune up the car if it were sputtering and dropping fluids on the road? Get Checked, Live Clear, BE WELL!

Be CLEAR in the New Year!

Many of us celebrate the New Year as a time for a Fresh Start, a New Beginning; perhaps a chance to reformulate previous ideas and create New Goals to manifest our desires for the future. Whether we're looking to loose a few pounds, start a business, or simply give thanks for that which we have; keeping ourselves CLEAR & Connected with Regular Chiropractic Care will help in more ways than one...

We all live with Stress in our Day to Day Lives, that's no secret. Unfortunately, these menial stresses initiate a chain of events resulting in tension, pressure, and irritation to the supple components of our Nervous System. This seemingly harmless tension, a mere ounce of pressure, results in Interference to  as much as 80% of the vital signals traveling between our Brain and Body. 

We contain over 45 Miles of Nerves, that's almost the distance from here to New York City! Depending upon where interference is present, any number of parts or processes may be affected:

• Interference to the Nerves carrying information from sensory structures (touch, taste, sight, etc.) cause our Brain to receive inaccurate information regarding the world around us. 
• Interference to information regarding Joint Position, Orientation, Pressure, and Balance may cause Dizziness, Poor Motor Function, or Motion Sickness.
• Interference to the nerves that move muscles may result in Spasm, Weakness, or Paralysis.
• Interference to the coordination of our Immune System may leave us susceptible to illness.
• Interference to the Nerves which innervate organs will result in relative dysfunction of those organs this could mean motility issues and inflammation in the gut, an arrhythmia in the cardiac system, or more.

Whether we've resolved to Eat Better, Lose Weight, Get of Debt, or anything else in 2016. It is absolutely imperative that we live Free of Interference so we may be our absolute BEST!

Love & Einstein

What is Love? May Love be an Intention? Is it a Thought, Feeling or an Emotion? Something to Give or something we're lucky enough to Receive?

A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter on The Universal Force of Love

"When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer!"

Your father,
Albert Einstein

It's Always Time for Chiropractic

One of the most common questions that we hear is, “When should I get adjusted?” The answer may vary from person to person, but like most things, Chiropractic is best used regularly.

During any given day we experience a multitude of Stresses, some BIG and others little. While certain stresses may affect us physically others affect us mentally or chemically. Regardless of the Size and Domain of the Stress, the Innate Intelligence of our body always reacts as appropriately as possible so we may continue functioning and living to the best of our ability. This adaptive response results in the development of Spinal Subluxations which inevitably result in interference to our Nervous System restricting the flow of information between our Brain and our Body.

When this flow of information is not Free and Clear any number of physiological functions may suffer. With interference, our Brain may not receive accurate information regarding our state of being. Would this affect our Digestion, Blood Pressure, Immune System, or something else? With interference could the body receive clear and accurate information about or Balance, Hormone Levels, or even Muscle Coordination?

Regardless of which part(s) of the Nervous System are being affected by Subluxations their very presence causes us to function in a state of Dis-Ease and relative Dis-Function. The longer we remain disconnected from ourselves the more significant the dysfunction will become until it inevitably gets our attention in one way or another.

The singular goal of the Chiropractic Adjustment is to remove this interference to our Nervous System so that we may continue to express our Innate potential for Health, Healing, and Life; by functioning in a prolonged state of Ease as we were intended to. While we all experience different types of stresses in different quantities, it is important to maintain a schedule of care best suited for anybody's unique and personal needs.

Stress is Common. Subluxations are Common. BE Regular with Chiropractic!
