Stress is the Cause

We will encounter three major areas of stress in our lives...Physical, Mental or Emotional, and Toxic Environment. We all know that if we slip and fall on the ice in winter we may get up with a sore shoulder, neck, and hip. How about after a car accident? These are physical stresses that cause spinal mosalignments.
Have you ever been so angry that you threw something and felt pain in your upper back..bingo, your anger caused another misalignment.
When we are angry or depressed we may eat more comfort or take-out foods. Some of them may lead to indigestion ...we may not sleep well for several nights....we get tired..one day we do a little gardening and when we are done our low back and pelvis ache,,bingo another misalignment.
Is Everyone misaligned or subluxated?? What do you think? When your body and mind play their tune is it the best it can be?

How Long Does It Last?

Your treatment benefit will last for varying periods of time....like guitar strings we need to be fine tuned periodically..does the guitar stay in tune? It depends on how much it is played and how long between playings. Our muscles operate like the strings..we adjust their tension by realigning your bones. The harder and more often you play, the more often you will need to be retuned.

Problem Area??

If you do not feel any pain where are your potential problem areas. At college one Professor suggested that many of us have moles or other skin blemishes alongside our spines that show an area of poor circulation often caused by a spinal misalignment at the same level in the spine...I have found this to be true. More often I find that an organ near that level is not working well either. A Chiropractic adjustment will improve the circulation to these areas.....moles and blemishes may not disappear but in many cases a body organ may improve in function...or a medication one has been taking for it may begin to work and the problem can be resolved.

Guitar Strings..Like Your Back Muscles??

When you tune your guitar it takes several tries. After some playing you must tune the tension in the strings again. Your Chiro tunes your spine ie. realigns it and the muscles on both sides have a party adjusting to the new tension. After a number of readjustments they start to remain in tune..if you do not have a joint that is wearing out..and you will stay in tune for awhile. But just like the guitar with lots of playing ..you may go out of tune and need to be realigned again.

M.D.'s Studied Nerve Pressure

MEDICAL DOCTORS DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT PRESSURE ON A NERVE EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF A QUARTER COULD REDUCE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGAN OR MUSCLE THAT IT SUPPLIED BY 60 %. GENERALLY IT APPEARS THAT MOST CASES I SEE ARE REDUCED BY 10 TO 30 %. HOWEVER MOST CASES PRESENt WITH 5 OR 6 SIGNIFICANT TWISTS OR SUBLUXATIONS IN THEIR SPINES. IF EACH AREA WORKS LESS THAN IT SHOULD ....THIS IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT...MAKE A CHANGE..SEE A CHIROPRACTOR.

BELIEF

SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IF YOU THINK AN ADJUSTMENT WILL HELP..THEN IT WILL..THE PLACEBO EFFECT. TRUE THIS MAY WORK SOMETIMES. HOWEVER I HAVE FOUND MANY TIMES THAT OTHER EFFECTS SEEM TO HAPPEN TO THE BODY AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE YOU COME TO GET RID OF BACK PAIN AND YOUR DIGESTION AND BOWELS IMPROVE AS WELL..OR YOU COME FOR MIGRAINE HEADACHE RELIEF AND YOUR BACK PAIN LEAVES TOO. AT CHIRO COLLEGE IN DAVENPORT IOWA MANY OF MY TEACHERS BELIEVED THAT YOUR COMPLEX OF MISALIGNMENTS SHOULD BE TREATED JUST LIKE ANOTHER DISEASE OUR BODY HAS. NATURALLY THE SOLUTION IS SPINAL REALIGNMENT OR CORRECTION.

CURE-ALL

WHEN ADJUSTING THE SPINE WAS NEW..1895..CHIROS BELIEVED IT WOULD CURE ANYTHING..IT DID IMPROVE MANY PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS..SKIN PROBLEMS..AND OTHERS LISTED ON THIS BLOG,..IT DID NOT HEAL EVERYONE.
THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO HEALING AND OFTEN A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE WOULD BE REQUIRED.. AS WELL AS PROPER NUTRITION..EXERCISE..REST AND STRESS REDUCTION. UNFORTUNATELY THE COST TO ENGAGE ENOUGH DIFFERENT PRACTITIONERS... AND SUPPLEMENTS.. IS USUALLY TOO GREAT, AND WE LIVE WITH SOME OF OUR INFIRMITIES..ONE EXAMPLE OF THE COST THAT ONE MIGHT INCUR IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR CANCER PATIENTS THAT THEY CHANGE EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIVES... INCLUDING WHERE THEY LIVE, WHAT THEY EAT, THEIR CAREER , EVEN THINKING. LUCKY ARE THOSE WHO CAN CHANGE ENOUGH OF THESE THINGS TO EFFECT THEIR HEALING. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS CAN HELP YOU TO ACHIEVE MANY OF THESE CHANGES.

BONE REMODELLING/HEALING

DR. WOLFF FORMULATED A LAW OF BONE. IT BASICALLY STATES THAT A BONE THAT IS MISPLACED WILL REMODEL ITSELF TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE SITUATION OR POSITION THAT IT IS IN. EVERY BONE CELL IN YOUR BODY IS REPLACED WITHIN 13 MONTHS. IN MANY CASES HOLDING YOUR SPINE IN A POSITION AS CLOSE TO NORMAL AS POSSIBLE WILL ALLOW A WORN JOINT TO GROW BACK SOME CALCIUM..IT WILL THEN TEND TO STAY IN A MORE NORMAL POSITION AND THE PAIN YOU HAD WILL LEAVE.
THIS IS ONE REASON I RECOMMEND A MONTHLY CHECK OF YOUR SPINE FOR THAT YEAR AFTER YOUE PAIN IS GONE..KEEPING THE BONES IN PLACE WILL GIVE YOU LONG TERM HEALING,,,TWO OR THREE VISITS TO REMOVE YOUR PAIN WILL NOT STOP RECURRENCES OR GIVE LONG TERM HEALING.
