We’ve Got Something New To Share With You!

Our office has depended on computerized technology to determine a potential patient’s care potential for years. But we just upgraded the technology and we are very excited about this. Watch The Video & Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx7SBEpoSA4&feature=youtu.be

We have always been able to track if you have a problem and where the problem is coming from and we have been able to track how you are progressing as you go through care until you get to a state where things are working well.

But this new technology takes this a step further.

How??? To fully understand Lets start from the beginning

Stress is the biggest cause of problems in our society today according to many health sources. There are 3 types of stress; Physical, Chemical, and Mental/Emotional. The biggest culprit of health issues right now is mental/emotional stress. Mental stress stems from how we react to current events. The same event is going to cause 2 different reactions in 2 different people and that is because each person has different experiences in their life that impact how that person perceives the event.

Our technology tracks your ability to adapt to stress in a way that we have never been able to track before. That is important because, let’s face it, you can’t get away from stress. By measuring variations in heat patterns along your spin we can pin point problem areas. Then we can effectively help your body can adapt to stress in a positive way.

We are very excited about what this can mean for tracking the health of our patients. Now if someone comes in feeling pretty good, just not what they feel is great we can actually measure what is up in their nervous system.

If you are looking for true Health Care – the kind of care that will take a healthy you and make you even better, a baseline scan is very important to get so that if you have issues in the future we have something to measure against.

Because we are so excited about this technology, we are offering a very special deal through the month of February. The scans at other offices around the country are usually priced at $200. Our office is only going to charge $100, but as an introductory price through the month of February, the price is coming all the way down to $50. Yes you read that right. Only $50. Call today to schedule your special exam and take advantage of this introductory price.

Feeling Holiday Stress?

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 17:05:37 +0000

Tis’ the season. The “holidays are approaching and with all the get-together and extra activities come the inevitable stress.

Let’s Talk Stress…

The first is physical stress.

I realize you aren’t going to be falling out of a tree or jumping head first into a pool, but almost everyone has increased physical stress on their body during this time of year. You will be carrying things and buying things and just in generally probably getting out in the cold weather more than normal.

The second type of stress is chemical stress.

Think about how your eating habits change this time of year. There will be a lot of extra sweets, more cookies and cakes and candy at parties and given as gifts. You will probably be eating more calories, and working out less because of the cold weather. All of that adds up to extra chemical stress that is just part of the season.

The last type is mental/emotional stress.

Let’s face it. Family is amazing but it also has its challenges and this time of year we usually spend a lot more time with family than the rest of the year. That can put a lot of extra mental emotional stress on your life over these next 6 weeks.

Add it all up and all that extra stress can really put a lot of pressure on the nerves of your body. When that happens, the every day healing that takes place to keep you young and energized starts to suffer. Before you know it, you are getting sick more often, you don’t have the energy you are used to and you just don’t feel as good as you want to.

This is the effects of stress and this time of year; all three types of stress combine to create a bigger problem than normal. It may seem hopeless, but the good news is that there is a way to reverse the effects of the stress. A very advanced method called “Network Spinal” helps relieve the affects of all the stress that we put ourselves through this time of year and keep those nerves working at their peak so you can continue to enjoy a healthy and energy filled life through out this holiday season.

How Are You Sleeping?

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 16:07:41 +0000

Let’s face it, as much as we hate to admit it, Holidays and stress go hand in hand. Whether it’s family that irritate us even though we love them, or the stress we put on ourselves to get just the right present or attend all the parties or to find just the perfect recipe for a family get together, stress is almost always in abundance and when you combine the increased stress of the holidays with the already stressed life you have, it will often lead to problems sleeping.

Sure you can ignore the problem, and just wait till the holidays are over to get a good night’s rest, but that just creates more stress in your life. It is really important to get to the cause of the stress so that you can get a good night’s sleep all through the year without these periods of sleepless nights.

There are many types of sleep problems

The most common is when you lay down but you can’t seem to get your brain to quite down so you can fall asleep. This is very typical of the over stressed brain, especially when the stress is due to mental / emotional stress. This is a problem that we work wonders with here at the office but let me take a bit of your time and explain what’s going on and give you a few tips that you can try to resolve the problem at home.

Encountering Events

Your brain must process and react, chemically, to every event that happens in your life. If the event is overwhelming it could trigger a response called flight or fight. Basically in that mode your brain switches to defense mode. This was the survival technique that was needed back in the cave man days because when you were stressed an animal was about to attack or another tribe was trying to steal things. Your brain had to start to process every last detail it could to determine what needed to happen to allow you to survive the threat. Just because 21st Century stress of family and job etc are not life threatening doesn’t mean that the brain has learned to process things any differently.

In this mode your brain can become completely overloaded and that is why when you try to go to sleep, you brain won’t seem to shut down. It is in survival mode and trying to detect any threat. In this office, we are able to reduce the tension in the spinal cord which will take the brain out of survival mode and allow the brain to relax when you go to sleep. But if things aren’t too bad, here are a few tips that may help you solve this.

1) Aerobic exercise

This type of exercise can really help your body reduce the amount of stress and possibly keep you from crossing that threshold into fight or flight. 20 minutes of activity with your heart rate increased by at least 20% so figure about 25 minutes of exercise is really healthy for everyone even if this isn’t your problem.

2) Meditation

This form of relaxation is very powerful in allowing your brain to organize things. There are plenty of sources to help with this. YouTube is a good place to start also Depak Chopra and Opra have a series of 21 day meditation challenges that are amazing.
