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!

What is Health?

We all know the word, and we'd probably agree upon one of a few definitions, but
What is Health? 

- Is it a right? 

- Something we're owed? 

- An Ache or a Pain, Numbness, or a Tingle?

-Or is HEALTH something that we may gain or loose like money in the bank?

- Are we robbed of it by the Germs and Virus for which we wash, clean, and sanitize?

Health is not a commodity, it is a state of being, a dynamic equilibrium in which we exist where all of our thoughts, actions, and choices either facilitate or inhibit our outward Expression of Health.

We are born with an innate ability to Heal; the information is imprinted in our DNA so we may develop and grow, turning over 500 Billion Cells every day. Most simply, THIS, is Exactly how we Heal. When we become Stressed, Sick, or Injured our bodies recreate new living cells; the ability to repair the tissue of a living being IS the definition of Healing. More importantly our ability to Heal is an Expression of our level of Health at any given time. Think about it, the Healthier we are the better we Heal, right?

So let's get back to that Dynamic Equilibrium. How do things like our Food Choices, Stress, Habits, Practices, and even our Thoughts effect the Expression of our ability to Heal? Does the nutrients from a Big Mac, Fries, & Coke provide more energy than is required to break it down? Does going to the gym provide more energy and benefits than we expend? Do we consciously pursue a life of Health and Healing or simply exist as the result of the decisions we make?

Unfortunately this simple equation doesn't scratch the surface of the complex intelligent design which we exemplify. At any given moment our Level of Physical Health may be measured as the overall net sum of our Organ and System Health; Gastrointestinal Health, Cardiovascular Health, Joint Health, but we're much more than a physical body. What about Psychological Health, Spiritual Health, and Emotional Health to name a few? As we delve down the rabbit hole of ever increasing Health, Healing, and Well Being our continuum begins to more closely resemble a heap of spaghetti with each noodle representing a different Domain of Health. Furthermore, Stress and Trauma in any domain tends to push us toward dis-ease while our innate healing functions drive us ever closer to a state of Health.

Our outward expression of Health, our ability to adapt and heal, even our future can be represented by where we lie in the spaghetti at any given time. Most often a single decision affects multiple domains, sometimes in opposing ways, but inevitably leads to either Health, Healing, and the Expression of Life, or spirals toward Dis-ease, Degeneration, Decay, and Death.

Chiropractic keeps us clear so we may express our greatest potential to live, regardless of where we are on the continuum of Health. When we are Free & Clear of interference our body functions at its best. The longer that we remain clear the greater our potential to reclaim our health by healing the cumulative effects of longstanding Stress, Dis-function, and Dis-ease. While there is no finish line, we may continue approaching ever increasing Health by investing in ourselves and our future.

Invest in Health. Invest Life. Choose Chiropractic
