Holistic Wellness healthcare

By choosing chiropractic healthcar and nutritional education to promote wellness, parents send the message to their children that you do not need to take drugs to live a happy, healthy life. There are no dngerous side effects with gentle instrument adjusting techniques. If given on a maintenance basis, these spinal adjustments remove stress on the body before damage occurs. This promotes natural healing which should be allowed to take place before considering pharmaceutical and/or surgical intervention.

Everyone from newborn to retierd senoirs can benefit form chiropractic care. Eighteen years ago I was called upon to adjust a newborn in the neo-natal intensive care unit who was suffering from spastic paralysis. This baby bonded with me and allowed me to take care of his nerve interference coused by cerebral palsy. I have ultimately worked with this patient throughout his teenage years. He chose not to take anti-spasmodic drugs and prefers herbal muscle relaxers. He also opted not to have corrective surgery on his Achilles tendon when he was a pre-teen and a teenager, opting for stretches and exercises instead. He marches in his high school band, wuing the weak hand to hold the trumpet. He is a living testament to the body's healing power when the mind is trained to apply the pricipals of wellness and health.

Chiropractic is for achieving an optimal state of wellbeing, not merely absence of symptoms. Our dedication as healthcare professional is about you- your human pruposes and values. We now have state of the art neutriceuticals with exact science F.D.A. inspected labs of pharmacy quality. satndardized herbal medicine with published double blinded studies. I am using a company whose products meet the industrie's most exacting standards with random lab analysis. I choose to create my own estrogen ang progesterone naturall with the help of these products to ease peri-menapausal symptoms using these organically grown herbal products. I have also used naturally occuring bone stimulating protiens to bring up my T-score from -2.5 to -1.5.

Just as our teeth need regular preventive care to stay health, we must also take care of our spines. This means being checked by a chiropractor at least monthly, perhaps bi-weeekly depending on how sedentary or bio-mechanically stressed our lifestyle is. Your body is constanly regenerating, has it's own internal pharmacy and is self healing when given the best support.

Getting proper exercise at least 10 min. and preferrably for 30 min. per day. This should be low imapct aerobic or a weight resistance training that does not over-exert your muscles and ligaments. Biking, swimming, gymball workouts and speed walking are great ways to achieve this.
