Never Lost with Chiropractic!

Ever drive lost for miles and miles before stopping for directions?  Before the advent of GPS, that was pretty common.  When you finally discovered how off course you were, you most likely had to re-trace the roads you were on to get back on track.

Getting lost with your health is similar.  If you've traveled the wrong way for miles and miles with your health - popping pills to mask your pain or searching endlessly for the right pillow - when you finally stop at the Chiropractor's office to get good directions, you might have to retrace those lost miles with intensive care to get back on track.  But the good news is, you won't be lost any longer. 

Once you get pointed in the right direction, Chiropractic care is the GPS that keeps you on course.  Get checked regularly, take adjustments when necessary and stay on the right road - we'll help you reach your destination.

Happy Mother's Day!

Adjust me Please!

What would happen if you didn't clean your house for a few weeks?  Your furniture would get pretty dusty wouldn't it?  The same can be said for you, if the dirt in your nervous system isn't cleaned up on a regular basis. 

The “dirt” we’re talking about is Vertebral Subluxation (a Chiropractic term for nerve interference).  If not cleared regularly, stress from Subluxations can pile up in your nerves, causing sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, lowered resistance, persistent pain or even anxiety. 

People who keep their nervous system “tidy” with regular Chiropractic care report having more energy, better recovery from injuries and an improved state of mind.  If your health isn't as clean as you’d like it to be, maybe it’s time to dust the stress off with a good adjustment.  Come and see us today!

"Which Pothole Did It"

It's a common question Chiropractic patients have..."Hey doc, what do you think did it to me this time?  It is the way I'm sleeping, or maybe the stress at work?"  To tell you the truth, without 24/7 video surveillance of your every move, it's difficult to tell.

Trying to determine what specific activity created your Subluxations is like trying to figure out which pothole in the road knocked your car out of alignment.  They all contribute to it.  And driving in fear - worrying about every rock, crack and ditch your car travels over, will only stress you more.

Instead of fretting over every scenario that could throw your spine out of alignment it's healthier just to get checked and adjusted on a regular basis.  Physical, mental and chemical stress is an everyday part of Life.  Chiropractic care simply helps you get past all the bumps you'll eventually hit in the road.

“Like WD40 for Your Spine”

Most people believe that as you get older, the less flexible you become.  Actually it's the other way around.  The stiffer your joints get, the faster you age and develop disease!

In a classic 1921 study tracing terminal disease and its relationship to spinal degeneration, Henry Windsor, MD concluded, “Disease appears to precede old age and to cause it.  The spine becomes stiff first and old age follows. Therefore we may say, a man is as old as his spine; the arteries becoming hardened later from constant vasomotor spasm, following sympathetic irritation.”

Chiropractic adjustments act like WD40 for your spine - keeping your joints flexible, your organs youthful and your health potential at its maximum.  If you want to win the battle against time, make regular Chiropractic a part of your age defying routine.

Stay fit with Aquafit

Make a splash! Aquafit classes are easy on the joints, making them ideal for just about everyone, including those with arthritis. Studies show that regular water-based exercise can significantly improve cardio respiratory conditioning, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.

Here are seven reasons to try Aquafit:

Aquafit is not just for older adults. Like any form of exercise, the more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it.

Aquafit classes are non-competitive, and each participant works at their own intensity.

Aquafit can improve your performance in high impact activities such as running or team sports. By participating regularly, you’’ll strengthen muscles and improve your cardiovascular fitness.

Aquafit classes are for all levels of fitness and most people are surprised by just how good a workout they get. Your instructor should demonstrate modifications that can increase or decrease the difficulty of each move.

Moms-to-be can take advantage of pre and post natal Aquafit classes to help them stay active. When I was expecting my daughters, I switched to low impact workouts in the last few weeks of pregnancy. I took to the pool to benefit from water-based workouts, and of course to show off my growing belly!

Aquafit classes are an ideal option for those recovering from injuries. Neck-deep water supports 90% of your body weight and relieves stress on joints.

If you feel self-conscious about your weight or body, stride onto the pool deck in a towel or cover-up before hopping into the pool. You’ll soon discover that classes attract people of all ages and sizes…, and that they’re also social and fun.

Viewing life through Chiropractic Glasses

What does the world look like through Chiropractic coloured glasses?  Does your health shine brighter…are your relationships with friends and family more in focus…is your job performance sharper and crisper?

You “see” everything through your nervous system-how you feel, how you interact with the people around you, how you perform at home or at work.  When your nerves are stressed, the line between barely existing and fully living is blurred.  However, the more clear your nervous system, the better your ability to interact physically, mentally and spiritually with the world around you, and ultimately the better your quality of life.

  

When a Chiropractor adjusts the stress from your spine, it’s like cleaning the dirt, streaks and smudges from the lens through which you interpret your world.  With a clear lens you can see all the potential you have to offer.  Life is vibrant when you’re viewing it through Chiropractic glasses.

Daylight Adjusting Time

What do Daylight Savings Time and a Chiropractic Adjustment have in common?  Both give you more light – get it!  The primary purposed of Chiropractic is to locate and correct Subluxations.  If you break the word down you get: SUB=less, LUX=light, and ATION= a condition. 

Subluxation literally means a state of less light or energy caused when misaligned spinal bones (especially the Atlas and Axis restrict the flow of impulses through the nervous system.  A Chiropractic adjustment corrects this misalignment, eases pressure off nerves and extends the time Life energy streaming through you.  (Giving you more daylight to heal yourself).

When you receive an adjustment from your Chiropractor, be confident you innate healing light is shining brighter and longer with every session.  Life springs forward when you’re under regular Chiropractic Care.

Simply Raw- Reversing Diabetes Naturally 

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, uncooked food in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication. The six are challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even cooked food for 30 days. The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this radical diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse disease and change lives.

The film highlights each of the six before they begin the program and we first meet them in their home environment with their families. Each participant speaks candidly about their struggle to manage their diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life, from work to home to their relationships.

(Excerpt from main website).

"One thing you are going to learn about live food is that that's the diet that works the best. And what's the reason? When you cook the food, you lose 50% of the protein, 70% to 80% of the vitamins and minerals, and close to 100% of the phytonutrients." –Gabriel Cousens, M.D
