Are you Reactice or Proactive towards your health?

Most of us believe that we are healthy when we feel good. Is that true? Actually, nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, believing this myth can be very dangerous and may end your life prematurily.

Most diseases severely damage your body over time before you feel the first symptom. Symptoms usually show up last! For example, Cancer can be growing in your body for 20 years or longer without the presence of  symptoms. Heart disease can be present for 15-20 years with no symptoms. Unfortunately, the first symptom of heart disease is the heart attack and is usually fatal.

The spine works the same way. New patients usually enter a Chiropractic office once their symptoms are very severe! The reality is their spine may have been deteriorating for years before they first experience pain. A “pinched nerve” in your back can be shutting down your organs for many years with no symptoms at all. Did you know the primary function of your nerves is to make your body function. Only a small percentage of your nerves give you feeling. This is why your body can be shutting down and you are completely unaware of it. Pain can do a great job telling you something is wrong. However, it is a very unreliable indicator regarding your health.

One of my main goals is to teach the community to not be crisis based regarding their health. If you are proactive regarding your health, you can prevent suffering from many diseases. Did you know most diseases, such as Cancer,  are preventable through lifestyle changes? This is why it is vital to not only implement proper nutrition and exercise into your life, but to have your spine examined by a Chiropractor.  We are trained in society to maintain our teeth. However, your spine and nervous system controls your entire body. If your nervous system is not functioning properly, your body will still break down and create disease!

We need to transform our way of thinking regarding health care.

I hope this helps you further understand what health is. After all, health is our number one possession!

Best way to help Infantile Colic

As a Chiropractor, I have been  amazed how effective the spinal adjustment is for Colic. If more mothers were aware about this, there would be a huge influx of infants entering Chiropractic offices.

How it works is actually very simple. A pinched nerve from a spinal misalignment can decrease the function of the intestines/stomach. The resulting lack of motility in those regions can create excessive gas and bloating. This leads to the painful symptoms of Colic.

I have seen most of the Colic symptoms disappear after only one or two treatments. As a result, the infant’s suffering stops and now the parents can enjoy life again!

If your little bundle of joy is suffering from Colic, give Chiropractic a chance! It is a much safer alternative than medication such as Ovol drops.
