Scoliosis impacts far more people than we realize. Dr. Tony Nalda explains the different sources of scoliosis that impact both children and adults. The population of people with scoliosis increases as age increases, that means many of us will be facing scoliosis in the future if not already living with it.Dr. Nalda explains the options we have to stop the curvature from increasing and even reducing the degree of the curve. We also discuss the traditional diagnosis and treatment options most doctors are operating under and why these options need to change to help prevent surgery. This is important because one small change could be significant in our level of pain we experience but not necessarily produce a degree of curve for traditional treatment. Dr. Tony Nalda is the leader of the Scoliosis Reduction Center®. In addition to being a chiropractor, Dr. Nalda holds an Intensive Care Certification from CLEAR Institute, a leading scoliosis educational and certification center. He was also one of the very first doctors to receive World Masters Certification from ISICO, a certification that specializes in the conservative treatment and management of scoliosis. Dr. Nalda also holds certifications with SEAS (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis Accreditation Program), Gomez Orthodics, Chiropractic Biophysics, ScoliBrace, A Corrective 3D Scoliosis Bracing System, DMX (Digital Motion Xray), and Scolibalance® certification from ScoliCare®.Learn more at www.scoliosisreductioncenter.com and follow on Facebook @ScoliosisReductionCenter and YouTube @ScoliosisReductionCenter.

Debra's Testimonial: Overcoming Knee & Back Pain with Macomb Twp Chiropractic! Deborah is the perfect example of someone who received knee pain relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic. She came into our office just a short time ago stating her main concern was her knee pain. She also had mid and low back pain, and was rating her pain level at a 10 on a scale from 1-10. She was walking using a walker or cane, and complained about not being able to sleep at night. She couldn't get in and out of a car and stated she had trouble doing just about everything! Deb tried physical therapy twice for her knee pain and told us it did nothing to help! Being a little older, Deb was also dealing with some other medical issues so was seeking an alternative to more traditional medical care. We did a full consultation with Deborah and took Chiropractic x-rays on her first visit, and Dr. Chris found areas in her spine that were misaligned. These misalignment's were putting pressure on the nerves associated with her back and also her knees. Deborah's gate was also off which was adding additional, unnecessary pressure on her knees when she walked. Dr. Chris tailored a care plan for Deb which included regular Chiropractic adjustments, postural rehabilitation and disc decompression therapy. In just four short months Deb was having such great results she shot a YouTube video testimonial of her Macomb Twp Chiropractic knee pain success story. She stated today she is doing “very good!” Her balance has improved, she doesn't need to use a walker or cane anymore, she is sleeping good, and said she “feels like she's back to normal!” When asked what her pain level is today, Deb said it's a zero. Knee pain is pain directly behind the knee cap, joints of the knee, or ligaments surrounding the knee area. It can radiate to other parts of the leg, calf, thigh or foot. Knee pain can result from a number of things including injuries, sprains, arthritis, overuse, tendonitis, or pinched nerves. Risk factors include: excess weight, lack of muscle flexibility and strength, playing high impact sports, repetitive stress on the knee joint from certain occupations that involve prolonged kneeling, squatting, or heavy lifting, or an altered gate. An altered gate can cause stress on you knee joint, which can be caused from a misaligned spine or hips. What are the Symptoms of Knee Pain? The location or severity of knee pain can vary from sharp stabbing pain when moved, to dull, achy pain while resting. The pain can be persistent or come and go. Pain can radiate in the knee joint and be accompanied by swelling and stiffness, redness and warm to the touch, weakness or instability, or popping or crunching noises. What Kind of Problems Arise from Knee Pain? Knee pain can lead to a large number of problems including: difficulty walking, reduced mobility, inability to go up and down stairs, weakness or instability while walking, difficulty getting up from a chair, limited range of motion, sleep disturbances, work limitations, inability to participate in physical activities which can lead to social isolation, and discomfort doing daily tasks. There is also the possibility if left untreated, knee pain due to underlying causes can lead to arthritis, additional tears or cartilage damage, or even knee surgery. How Does Chiropractic Help? Chiropractors in Macomb Macomb  can help with knee pain in a number of ways. Pressure point manipulation around the knee joint can reduce pain and increase mobility. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pinched nerves and also increase blood flow, which promotes overall health and healing by enhancing the immune system and nervous system function. Spinal misalignments can often affect your posture and gate, which directly affects knee function. Correcting these misalignments often leads to improved knee function and less pain. Proven Chiropractic results for knee pain include: pain reduction, improved joint function, strengthened support muscles, reduced swelling and inflammation, and prevention of pain reoccurrence. What Does Macomb Township Chiropractic Offer? Dr. Chris McNeil is part of only a few elite Chiropractors who practices the highly specialized, scientific method of Chiropractic Biophysics.

The New Year is here, and it's time to start feeling healthy again! If you've been suffering with numbness and pain in your neck, arms, hands, legs, or feet, there's a Chiropractic clinic in Macomb Township that may be able to help.   Numbness is a loss of feeling or sensation in any part of the body, but commonly occurs in the arms, hands, legs, and feet. Numbness can also be described as feeling “pins-and-needles” that comes and goes or is persistent. You may also experience tingling, loss of sensation, inability to identify hot or cold sensations, weakness in affected area, burning or prickly sensation, the feeling of “skin crawling”, or loss of muscle function in the area. If left untreated, numbness can lead to difficulty walking, driving, weakness or paralysis, loss of motor skills, and decreased quality of life!   Macomb County Chiropractor Dr. Chris McNeil, Macomb Township Chiropractic clinic director, leads a state-of-the-art facility right in Macomb Township that specializes in Chiropractic Biophysics---a highly specialized approach to Chiropractic that focuses on identifying the root cause of numbness, misalignment's in the spine causing pinched nerves, then correcting the alignment of the spine with chiropractic posture rehab and disc decompression therapy.

The numbness was affecting her whole life and limited her walking, ability to climb stairs, and sleep lying down. Dr. Chris found multiple areas in Jamie's spine that were severely misaligned, as well as a small disc bulge. A care plan that involved chiropractic adjustments, disc decompression therapy, and postural rehabilitation was created specifically for Jamie, and by the end of her plan, she was pain free, able to do stairs without assistance, walk her dog for long distances, and sleep soundly again. Her pain levels went from 7's (on a scale from 1-10) when she first came into the office, to zero's. Jamie did a numbness relief YouTube testimonial video for Macomb Township Chiropractic praising the therapy from Dr. Chris which basically gave her her life back!

Welcome to the Hormone Prescription Podcast. Speaker 1 (01:08): Hi everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Hormone Prescription with Dr. Kyrin. Thank you so much for joining me today as we dive in with Dr. Ryan Wohlfert to talk about the spine and spinal hygiene. I know you're thinking my spine takes care of itself. I don't need to do anything for it. You need to think again, , you really do. Your spine needs TLC. It is your backbone. It houses what your central nervous system, your brain, brings to the rest of your body. And a lot of us, many of us may have problems with it in our lifetime, overt or surreptitious, but it can cause problems in the long run if you're not doing some simple things like you brush your teeth every day and floss, right? There are things you need to do for your spine, but you know, it's pretty obvious when you have a tooth problem because you get a toothache or your teeth turn yellow or you get bad breath or right. Speaker 1 (02:03): It's pretty obvious, but you're probably not gonna have the obvious signs from your spine until a problem is down the line and has become more severe. And there's some simple things you can do for your spine, just like brushing your teeth and flossing that you can do for your spine and why that's super important. So, Dr. Ryan's gonna dive in with us on that topic. He has some great quotes, , like the one that I shared with you in the beginning, and he really has a deep knowledge of this subject and can speak about it in a really down to earth, practical way. I think you're gonna enjoy it. So without further ado, I will tell you a little about Dr. Ryan and then we'll get started. So, he's a certified mindset specialist. Love that. He is a certified chiropractic sports physician and certified chiropractic biophysics physician. He uses a specific spinal correction protocol to help patients resolve chronic pain and avoid dysfunction and disease. Yes. So he has over 23 years of education and clinical experience. He's worked with thousands of people to improve their spine energy longevity, eliminate dependence on medication, and make simple healthy pain-free living possible. Please help me welcome Dr. Ryan Wolfert to the Speaker 3 (03:21): show. Thanks for having me, doc. I appreciate you, you reaching out and us getting able to talk. Speaker 1 (03:27): Yeah, I think that this is such an important topic because it's very neglected, I'll say in the functional medicine space, even though we cover a lot of things, we don't cover the bioenergetics of the body, which I think is super important. And we really don't cover the structural aspects which are super important. And part of your metabolic homeostasis, right, from a, from your bones and your muscles, they're very highly metabolically active tissues. And this all ties into the bones and the musculoskeletal system into the spine, which is kind of ground zero, I'll call it, for your overall musculoskeletal balance. So I think it's super important, and that's why everybody listening needs to listen up and pay attention to this. Don't just say, oh, I don't have any spine problems, . Right? And if you're saying that you might, you're likely to have a very high possibility of that in your life. And this contributes to your overall metabolic and hormonal health, believe it or not. And we're gonna get into that a little more. So welcome and I, I would say Dr. Ryan, you're a chiropractor by training, right? Correct. And so what makes you focus more on the spine than anything else? How did you come in your chiropractic career to believe that that's really the linchpin? Speaker 3 (04:56): I love that. And I love what you said right at the beginning too, how, you know, especially in functional medicine, the mechanical aspects of things and structural aspects do get pushed to the background because we're, nutrition is important obviously, but the mechanics of how your body uses that nutrition is also important. And with the spine, my whole journey with the spine started when I was a kid, when I was 13 years old and I had my first migraine headache, and I'm already jumping the gun there. But again, I had these episodes and I would have headaches and I would have colds, and I would have infections and I would've bronchitis and all these things, but I was still an active kid, you know, playing all these sports with my brothers in the backyard and, and eating homemade food that my mom would make. Speaker 3 (05:49): But one time, or I shouldn't say one time, the first time I remember was sitting in class and all of a sudden I couldn't see outta my right eye. The right side of my body went numb like this, I shouldn't say numb, but a tingly feeling in my hand and down my leg. And just seeing spots, you know how you look at the sun and you get that sun spot or a light? Mm-Hmm, . But I couldn't see out of my eye. And then the craziest thing, and probably the scariest thing happened about 20 to 30 minutes after those symptoms started is I couldn't talk. Like I would just, I could have thoughts, but the words weren't coming out. And this was all, I was in class. I was, oh my gosh, asking questions and I didn't know what it was. But then after those symptoms, about a half hour, that's when I got my first migraine headache, like just this debilitating headache. Speaker 3 (06:43): I didn't, like I said, like I said, I thought it was just a headache, just a really bad one. So I went home, slept, and probably took some Tylenol and some ibuprofen that my mom gave me. I don't know, I can't remember. So it went away after a day or two, and then I was again sitting in class and it happened again the next week. So a week later it happened again. I knew what was gonna happen or after, like those first symptoms, the tingling, the sun, like the spots that I couldn't see went down to the school office and asked the secretary, I asked her, you know, I, I'm gonna have a bad headache. Do you have any Tylenol that I can take? And so what she said actually changed the course of my life. She said, I can't give you that, but what it sounds like, it sounds like you got a pinched nerve and you need to go see my chiropractor . Speaker 3 (07:35): So again, I was 10 years old, in the eighth grade. I was like, whatever. It's not like I could take myself, but she called my mom to come pick me up. And she told my mom when she came to pick me up, the same thing she told me. So then we went to the chiropractic office of her chiropractor. He took x-rays, showed me my spine was crooked, which was, I still remember that, again, I'm just giving you a summary version of it. But it was all very thorough. And I remember us sitting in the room, he showed my mom and myself the x-rays and said, look right there, it's on crooked. So then I got my first adjustment, and it was like fireworks went up. It was just, wow. Just, he said, feel your face. And all the circulation I could feel, my face was like beet red and was warm because the circulation was coming back. Speaker 3 (08:23): And so that was my first experience and it, it, it wasn't right then that I said, oh man, I'm gonna be a chiropractor. But it gave me the taste of it. And ever since then I've been, I've been going, but along the way, it wasn't until probably my, my junior, up until my junior year of high school, I was gonna be an engineer, a mechanical engineer. That's what my focus was. But then going into my senior year, somebody told me about kinesiology. Like, whoa, that sound, what's that? The study of human movement, the study of movement, musculoskeletal system, how the body works with that. So I I went into that major and while I was there, that's kinda like a stepping stone to either pre-med, athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy. But while I was at University of Michigan my freshman year, I was like, you know what I, I know the power of chiropractic and how the spine works. Speaker 3 (09:16): So that's where my focus led and it's been great along the way. Obviously I've learned a lot. You probably know as well as anybody the, your education and ex it starts after you get outta school. That's basically because after the last, you know, I've been a chiropractor for over 23 years, and the last 15 of it has been in this corrective form, which we'll talk a lot about today and the research behind that and how this actual structure, 'cause you know, there's chiropractic that, again, the adjustments are great, but if you're trying to fix the structure and posture and the, the normal curves of the spine and the positioning of the spine because of how the ligaments and muscles and nerves all intertwine, the adjustment is great for a jumpstart. But if you want to correct the actual positioning and structure and alignment of it, then you have to create a sustained load onto it. Speaker 3 (10:13): Similar to how braces correct the structure of teeth. Just like we can't push on our teeth one time a week or one time even a day, and it will correct the structure of them. There needs to be a sustained load to do that. And that's again, what we focus on. And by correcting those curves and the structure and the normal positioning of the spine, that takes the stress off of the nerves, off of the musculoskeletal system. So like how you mentioned ground zero is the spine. I, you know, I like to say it's the foundation of our strength and our function, because if that's off, then it puts excess wear and tear on the rest of the system. Speaker 1 (10:54): Right. So you said so much in there that's so rich, thank you for that. Before we dive into ground zero, I, I just have to point out a few things that you mentioned. So you said you were gonna go into mechanical engineering, which is interesting because you kind of are a mechanical engineer just of humans, not machines. And it gets to something else that you mentioned. It's interesting how many of us, I want everyone listening to think back, how many times did you go to the school nurse in your educational career with an ache, a bump, a pain for us ladies, a lot of times it's menstrual problems. And did they just give you a Tylenol or a Motrin, right, for your cramps, for your headache? They just gave you the pill. But it's fascinating to me that you are now in the pro profession and path that you're on and that this woman said something completely different. Speaker 1 (11:49): And out of the blue from 99.9% of the school nurses globally, that actually planted seeds that impacted the course of your life. Or rather, maybe she was one of your guides along that path, kind of planted by the divine, the universe, whatever you like to call it, to guide you on your path. And, and why I think this is so important. So why I'm so passionate about what I do is yes, do I want people, women, particularly women over 40, but all women to be as healthy as possible, vital and alive and feel great in their bodies? Yes. But it's so that you can live your purpose, live your passion. And a lot of women, they're so stuck in their health problems that they've even stopped dreaming about that passion. They've stopped listening to that internal voice that's guiding them. They're like, I just, Karen, I get it, but I just wanna feel better. Speaker 1 (12:47): But what I find is when I work with you to get you feeling better, then you're like, okay, now I wanna get back on my path and my purpose, what I think Dr. Ryan shared there was so key because all along your life you've been getting these seeds planted, these walk in angels who say things to you that are so out of the blue, like instead of here's the Tylenol, you've got a pinched nerve and you need to go to the chiropractor. And a lot of times we discount those and we think, oh, this is happening to everyone. I know I've done that. Oh, this happens to everyone. But now looking back, you know, I was in the nurse's office with period problems from the time I first got my period, right. Not realizing that that was guiding me on my path to women's health. So I just wanna highlight that. Thank you for sharing that very beautiful story because people listen, they're also looking to feel better, but they're also looking for their purpose once they feel better. So I think it's beautiful and, and anything you wanna add about that, please feel free to. But welcome to drive into Ground zero, whatever you feel called. Speaker 3 (13:55): I love that you brought that piece into it because I got the chills. You just say that, you know, the divine and God just leading me in that direction and you're not really, you don't know it, you know, until, until you know it, until again, I was going through my journey and you mentioned the mechanical engineering part of it. You're right, essentially that's what we're re-engineering, we're restructuring the body. It's interesting because this technique that we use, it's called CBP chiropractic biophysics, which you mentioned in the intro. It's it, the, the person who developed it, he you know, is a doctor of chiropractic, but he's also, he had a, a master's in engineering and a master's in in math. So he understood the relationship between that of the body and the mechanics and how that affects the overall health of the, because he has such a deep understanding of it. Speaker 1 (14:53): I have not heard of the term chiropractic biophysics. I'm gonna have to look it up. But is this related to, so I went to a chiropractor several years ago who was unlike any chiropractor I had been to before, and I've been to many of them. And he was the one who really introduced me to this whole concept that if there's a torque in your structural mechanics, meaning your spine, and it's kind of twisted and off kilter and things aren't aligned properly, that it alters the way blood flows through all of your blood vessels. It alters the ability of cells to take up nutrients and distribute nutrients that everything is affected. And he's like, think of, if you kind of take a city and you twist it a little, like take Manhattan, which kind of looks like a person and you twist it a little, well then Broadway isn't gonna, the traffic's not gonna flow smoothly along Broadway like it's supposed to. And then, you know, the UPS guy isn't gonna be able to deliver the packages properly 'cause there's gonna be traffic jams at certain places. So think of your blood vessels getting torqued and then calcium can't be delivered and then potassium and blood glucose can't be distributed properly. Is that what you're talking about? Or is it, am I totally off base? Speaker 3 (16:12): No, that's a great analogy. The flow of information, the flow of communication gets interrupted because, and that's a big reason why the spine is ground zero, why it's the foundation. And I think it's one of, I think it's the main reason why it's so important is because it houses the nervous system, the spinal cord and the nerve roots. So if you torque that as well as, again, it, it will alter the circulation like you had mentioned. And that's actually been shown through at least one study in, called in brain circulation journal, showing how the curve of the neck, which we haven't even gotten in the structure yet and what the normal structure is. But you should have this normal side curve of the neck and when you lose that, it alters the vertebral artery chemodynamics of that. So it's not delivering the oxygen, not delivering the blood to the brain, and then you can't get rid of the waste either. Speaker 3 (17:04): But no, that's very similar and like that torque that you mentioned, if there's some sort of mm-hmm, interference like that, and it's not allowing the communication just downriver down the highway. Like I love that analogy. Now the UPS driver can, you know, deliver the package. That's how our organs and organ systems can be affected by the spine not being in the correct alignment because it, you know, at the end of that highway route of that UPS driver is somebody's house. Well, at the end of these nerve roots and or the spinal cord, nerve roots to nerves at the end of those are your organs as well as your muscles and cells and all these tissues that they have to have this communication back and forth. Where if they don't, now the body, the brain's gonna try to figure things out on its own. Speaker 3 (17:55): And here is, I call it a perfect design, but somebody might call it a cruel joke. , your body, your body can handle a certain amount of dysfunction before it gives you symptoms, right? Right. If you felt a symptom every time you did something stressful to the body and that symptom didn't go away, you, your body, you wouldn't be able to function. So we need that nice communication in order for the brain to make decisions on what the body and the organs and the cells and tissue should be doing, including absorbing nutrients, including having your body heal and, and making the correct amount of hormones for, for, for, for your body. Speaker 1 (18:32): Right? And yes, so hopefully everybody listening, you're getting the picture right? And so this chiropractor was explaining to me like you're explaining like if you can do all the functional type of treatments you want, take all the supplements, change your diet, but if your skeletal system is wonky, which you proceeded to show me how mine looked wonky, you're not getting the proper delivery of nutrients, balance of hormones, excretion of waste. And isn't this happening to all of us just from gravity and living? We're all losing our C curve with us sitting and crouching over computers all day long. And kinda what are the situations that we're dealing with in everyday life that are causing us to have difficulties, whether we know it or not. Like you said, we might not have symptoms and we might think we're fine , so please enlighten Speaker 3 (19:27): Us. I got you led right into it. Beautiful. Because yeah, with the world that we're living in today, just going at a global level, you know, six in 10 US adults have at least one chronic condition. What does it have to do with the spine? Well, if you look at our world, almost 70% of us are in the distorted spinal posture that go forward hunched over prolonged flexed posture that leads to chronic issues and including chronic pain and disability fatigue, accelerated aging and arthritis, anxiety and mood problems, and increased medication use, which is a big you know, that's one of the things that I never wanna be on any medications, and this is, and I never will because I already put that in my mindset. And yes, it even impacts our hormones and our metabolic system. So what's even more, which I think is the most interesting part of what people don't know about the spine, is that multiple studies show that this spinal posture, you know, losing the C curve, as you mentioned, that hyper kyphosis of the mid back, that slump hunchback posture Mm-hmm that significantly increases the risk of death from heart disease, pulmonary issues, and all causes, which is surprising to a lot of people until we explain it, is think about it, if we're in that hunchback posture where our, the stress is on the nerves going to the heart, going to the lungs, going to the, the gut. Speaker 3 (20:56): Mm-Hmm. not only nerve stress, but just mechanically, if we're in that hunch position, well now again, we're putting increased mechanical stress on the heart to work the lungs. We can't, you know, get, you know, air into our lungs because there's not even enough space for that. So these, you already mentioned a few, you know, our phones, you know, sitting at a computer on the couch looking down, you know, propped up in our lazboy, driving, you know, even lying down, sleeping either on the couch or in bed or propping up ourselves up on pillows. But yeah, the major one is the phones being on our, our technology, which it's nice and I know that's not going away. So we better know how to counteract that stress with exercises, with adjusting our lifestyle with specific forms of, of traction we call it. Especially if you are already caught in that position where you have arthritis, where you have chronic back pain, where you have, you know, low energy, that's a big one because your body is fighting day after day just against gravity to stand up. Speaker 3 (22:03): And I'm saying a lot here, but I like to put images in, in people's heads and give analogies. If, if you are a, a, a parent or a grandparent and you, there's a, you know, when you had your babies and they were 10 pounds, 15 pounds as there were, you know, hopefully not 15 pounds when they were born, that'd be a, a pretty big baby. But if you took that 15 pound weight or 20 pound person, or even if you don't have a baby around or can't think back to that, just get a dumbbell or aa weight plate or something, 15 pounds and hold it at arms length away from your body. So that's like having this hunched posture where your head's forward and collapsing down is if you have a weight that's 15 to 20 pounds out away from you, do you see how your muscles, your spine, your joints are gonna be on overload, trying just to hold you up against gravity. And now we add things onto it to make it even tougher. So if we retrain our posture and spine using specific techniques to take that stress off of it, bring that weight closer to the body, now we're decreasing the stress, yes, on the spine, but also the spinal cord we're decreasing. And by that we're also decreasing stress on your organs, on your metabolism, on your entire cell tissue system, anywhere that these nerves go. Right? So that's how that works. Speaker 1 (23:28): Yeah, I love how you detailed that. It's, it's funny, I became a nomad about a year and a half ago. I've traveled all over the world and I don't know, somehow I thought in America, maybe we were in a bubble that we're all on our phones all day long. Everywhere. But no, everywhere I go, , , all, all over Africa, the Middle East, and now I'm in London, everybody's on their phone all the time in that hunched over position. And you listen, you know, you do it too. So I love this quote you shared with me before we started. You don't have to do anything except deal with the consequences of your choices. Your choices. So why I love that so much is that a lot of times we're not aware of the consequences of our choices. What are the consequences of being hunched over on our phone all day or our computer every day? Speaker 1 (24:19): And you're really highlighting that for us. You're waking us up to, oh, this is something I need to pay attention to. Whether or not I'm having a spine problem or a pain problem. It's something I need to pay attention to. And I know you've got solutions, . So we're gonna dive into that. But before we do that, how would somebody know if this is like, you need to drop everything and take care of this now position, or this applies to everyone, including me, and I need to start integrating some things into my daily life. What are some symptoms people might have to know where they fall on this continuum of needing acute attention or care versus, oh, this is a chronic problem and I do need to pay attention to it. Like fixing your diet. How do they know? Speaker 3 (25:07): An acute problem would be like any types of acute injuries, especially if you had like sciatica, shooting pain, debilitating pain, like with me when I was, when I had my migraines, that was a sign to me and that was well sign to our school secretary to tell us that, to, to tell me that any type of intense pain would be a, alright, you need to get this checked out. Which again, pain is a great motivator. So that's kind of a simple way to know if you have more on that lower spectrum, but still low energy and fatigue is another big one because your body's wasting so many resources. If your body is in this, your spine is in this distorted, abnormal, weakened position. So those are the two big main ones. Chronic pain in different areas of your body, especially spine and the nerves, disc problems arm, if we're talking may with a neck stiffness, achiness, where again you see a progression of not able to turn your head side to side, tilt it pain, shooting down the arm, numbness, tingling in your hands. Speaker 3 (26:17): Those are all signs of, okay, acute, get these checked out. Now if and hopefully that answered the question with that. If you are, and I'm glad you asked this, because if you don't have these acute symptoms, how can you test yourself to see what your spinal posture is like? And I love that. 'cause That's the, basically that's the first step is how do you assess to make sure that my ears over my shoulders, over my hip is over my ankle? 'cause That's the normal posture. We're looking at you straight ahead. We wanna make sure that if we have a, a straight line or a plumb line dropped down from the ceiling, we want your pelvis under the middle of your chest, under your, you know, middle of your head, like right between your, your eyes. Any deviation from those, again, you can, we call it, you do a selfie test where you take a, you got your phone, right? Speaker 3 (27:08): And you can try to take a selfie, you set it up somewhere and take a picture of yourself. Just get in a comfortable standing position looking straight at it, take a picture. And then also you could from the side especially, and you wanna make sure that you're going from the ground up, that your ankle is right on top of your, the outside of your hip, and then your shoulder and ear are all lined up. So that's one easy way. You can also look in the mirror for the front one. It's a little bit harder to do with the, the side, you know, a side picture of your body. Mm-Hmm, . Now another good one is the wall test because the most common postural distortion is that, you know, the hunchback, right? So you can stand up against a wall, your back is against a wall. Speaker 3 (27:51): Your feet are about two to four inches away from the wall. The back of your, your heels, your hips, your mid back. Your head should touch the wall. If you can't get your head to touch the wall comfortably, again, more than likely you're, there's arthritis. That's the hunchback, it's the degeneration of the disc. It's the common problem with osteoporosis because if they get weak spinal bones and fracture, not, they don't even need acute fractures, but these chronic fractures on the front, it, makes it hard for you to get in that aligned position. So that's another wall test. You can also do it lying down. Now if you, if you're lying down on your back and your head, it's uncomfortable to have your head on the floor or it can't even get in that position. I would call that more of an acute case where you need to get that checked out because you're stuck there. The restrictions that ligaments have gotten so fibrotic and so worn out and they're tight, that it can't do it. Like the muscles by themselves are not gonna allow you to do that. So just postural exercises and exercise by itself won't allow you to get back in the healthy position. Mm-Hmm, Speaker 1 (29:11): . Okay. Does that make sense, yeah. Yeah. Those are some great tips on things to do the wall test or lay on the floor doing the selfie. Or even if you could get someone to take a photo of you from the side or the front and kind of look at this alignment. You know, I have found that some of these skews in your posture are so subtle that I can't necessarily tell them. But then I go to the chiropractor and they're like, duh, , don't you see this? You know how your left hip is slightly higher than your Right, right? And, you know, they look at leg length and they're like, oh, this foot is a centimeter longer than the other leg. And they can really see it. Like, you guys have this very acute vision. And so I like that you're really, Speaker 3 (29:56): It's just like, you're just like, you're trained in what you do that I wouldn't be able to see, just like the, the listener, they're, they're trained in what they do. Like that whole purpose thing that you mentioned at the beginning, that purpose is what your skill is in, in developing that skill. Because I know I'll be adjusting to somebody in my brick and mortar clinic and I will like to start working on them. And they're like, I, how did you know that was there? It's just, you know, after 20 some years of doing it, you get a feel for it based on the symptoms they're telling me or their posture or what it is. Same thing again, in your profession. Yeah, Speaker 1 (30:34): Yeah. You just know. And everybody listening, I love this other quote you shared Dr. Ryan, don't complain about the results you didn't get from the work. You didn't do . So if you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you Dr. Kyrin and Dr. Ryan, I know I should be tense paying attention to my spine, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna lie on the floor. I'm not gonna go against, well I'm not gonna do this selfie. Well then don't complain. 5, 10, 20 years down the line, , when you didn't do the work. Like, these are simple things y'all you can do tonight when you're at home or you know, wherever you are. Just stop, drop and do it really quickly to see if, if it applies to you, what are some things that we need to be doing. You know, I think a lot of us got the memo on aerobic exercise. Hopefully more women, if you're listening, have got the memo about the weight bearing exercise resistance training, essential for us women, almost more important than the aerobic exercise. But so many women don't do it. Shy away from it. It's super important. But what things do we need to be doing for exercise for our spine to preserve it, to reverse or counteract some of these kyphotic positions we're in all day long? Well, what do we need to be doing? Speaker 3 (31:49): Beautiful. I love that because that exercise is part of it. I've said the words a little bit at the be, you know, as we've gone through this, but as a simple little acronym, think of eat EAT, that is the protocol of chiropractic biophysics. So EAT stands for exercise adjustment and traction. And I'll go quickly through each of those because when you hear, like, I'll just touch on for a second, adjust you think, okay. Adjustment of the spine. But I'll, I'll show you how adjusting your lifestyle also is under that adjusted part of it. But let's start with exercise. You mentioned great ones, general exercise that you just mentioned. Beautiful. Not even gonna talk about that. But now there's general spinal exercises that you can do. And I know they'll have access to the spinal hygiene mini class. And this is part of that, but I'll go over it here. It's just like we take care of our teeth and brush our teeth every day, or at least what we're supposed to. Speaker 3 (32:48): We wanna take care of our spine every day. And it doesn't have to take long. Very simply taking your spine through all of its ranges of motion at least once a day, maybe even twice a day. So what are the ranges of motion? So side to side, bending side to side. I know people can't see me, but as I'm doing it, I have to do the actions as I do it. So your trunk and then also your head and neck, the rotation, just taking it, rotating it side to side. And you can either hold at the pain-free end range of motion for 10 seconds, or you can do five to 10 reps in each direction with these. If you have, I'll put the caveat right now, or the disclaimer, if you have osteoporosis or fractures, you want to be careful with the twisting and with these exercises, that's why it's always gentle, it's always controlled. Speaker 3 (33:38): So we have the side to side, we have the rotation. Now we want to flex. Although we are in this prolonged flexed posture for a lot of, you know, most of our day, we still wanna be able to do that motion. We just don't wanna be in that chronically flexed position. So flexing down, like either doing like a, and then also extending back. So the cat cow, a lot of people are familiar with that exercise or on your hands and knees where you're rounding your back, taking your chin towards your chest and then arching it up, squeezing the shoulder blades, dropping the pelvis down, but you're flexing the spine and extending rounding and then flattening going towards their, I don't like to say extreme, but their, their final range of motion under control gently and pain free. So that's called spinal hygiene. And just like I said, taking two minutes outta your day to do that. Yeah, Speaker 1 (34:32): I love that. And you could even do it while you're brushing your teeth. You know that great book Tiny Habits where one of his main tips was to link a new habit to something else that you already do. So if you're already religious about your teeth, brushing, flossing, all the things and the evening, then you could just tack on spinal hygiene to your dental hygiene right after. So it makes it super easy. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Speaker 3 (34:57): That's okay. And there are more sp if, if you find during the assessment or if you ever get your spine checked from a doctor that specializes in, especially this corrective technique and like you said, Dr. Karen, we're good at seeing things that other people can't either through x-rays or through this postural analysis. But if you find during your assessment, your self-assessment, that your posture stinks, for lack of a better word, that it's, it's not aligned, your head's in front of your shoulders, your kyphotic or your, you know, your body side to side, one shoulder lower than the other, your head's tipped. There are specific postural exercises, spinal exercises that we would recommend based on your specific needs in the opposite direction to counteract that postural distortion. So unlike exercise, generally, you know, general exercise, we wanna do it bilaterally or if we go in one direction, we wanna do it on the other side of the body. Speaker 3 (35:55): Specific. Postural and spinal exercises are different because you have to counteract the position it's already in. So if I'm hunched over, heads forward, we don't wanna do a prolonged exercise where we're doing that, but we're doing an exercise where we're bringing the shoulder blades back, taking the head back, called the full spine exercise breathing. And it's not just a stretch, but it's retraining. Holding that position for five to 10 seconds, starting off at three sets of 10 reps and working your way up to even like 5, 6, 7 sets of 10 reps every day because we have to retrain it. Now you could do that type of exercise if you are at a computer, if you're hunched over, if you're on the couch for 20 to 30 minutes. And it's always good to have a timer on. So, mm-hmm, , another little tip, a timer on at 20 or 30 minutes. So you get up and just do this exercise for like 30 seconds where you're shoulders squeezing your shoulder blades back, taking your head back. That actually helps to increase circulation. Mm-Hmm, , which you'll feel. So that's the exercise part of it now. Speaker 1 (37:00): Yeah. Well I wanna add in there. Yeah, I just wanna put a plug for yoga. 'cause I always say that the triad is aerobic weight bearing and stretching because the constriction of your joints where the connective tissue starts hardening and getting tighter happens very gradually that you don't even notice it. And then before long, you know, you're having trouble reaching over your head or you can't touch your toes or whatever. And so yoga takes you generally through a lot of these stretches. So I wanna put a plugin for that, but please proceed. Speaker 3 (37:32): No, those are exactly the three cardio weight bearing resistance type training and flexibility ability. Absolutely. And it's funny because we'll get into the, with the traction part, eat, we'll talk about that. You said it perfectly. The connective tissues get tense, they get tight and you don't even know what's happening. And, and how do you correct that? So it is an adjustment. So adjusting the spine, which chiropractors are known for, but like I said in the beginning, it's not gonna correct the structure long term. It's gonna give you a jumpstart to a dead battery like I did with my daughter's car this morning. It's going to again give you, get the nerves working again and functioning, but also adjust talks about lifestyle, how you sit, how you stand, how you bend, lift, sleep, how you carry things. Think about your day and the postures that you're in and how you can improve on the postures that you're using. Speaker 3 (38:27): The biggest one, which we've mentioned multiple times, is on your phone, on your smartphone. I'm not sure how your phone being down in your lap or your tablet or your, well it's called a laptop. So I guess that's why, how that became the normal positioning to look at your phone. But it's very simple how to correct that, how to adjust the positioning of that. If you're sitting down, make sure your butt is up against the back of the chair of the couch, whatever it is, prop pillows behind you to keep you more upright. And then you can also put pillows or blankets or something on your lap. Rest your elbows on those blankets or pillows on your lap. Bend your elbows in arms to about 90 degrees or more and bring your phone towards, you know, more in front of your face. Definitely in front of, more like the chest area. Speaker 3 (39:20): Chest level, not down in your lap. And, have that be the normal position. Have, you know, let's make it so when we see somebody in the flex position looking down at their phone, you know, walking around or standing there waiting for something or at the airport waiting, that, that becomes like the abnormal where it's like, man, that doesn't look very good. Let's, let's lift it up so you can do this. Not just when you're sitting, but when you're standing too. Check your posture with that. So that's the, I will say another lifestyle adjustment. How you bend. It's not all about squatting, but it's more of a, in weightlifting terms, like a deadlift or a hip hint, you want to hinge at the hips when you're, you're bending because we're not always gonna be in a, I wanna say position to squat, but we're not always gonna be squatting. So we need to learn how to use our hips to bend. And I'll give a plug to a great technique called foundation training. It teaches you how to use your hips using this hip pinch. And I explained it in one of my, one of my handouts. But yes, how you hold your phone and how you bend are two huge things that you can adjust in your lifestyle. Speaker 1 (40:31): Awesome. Those are super important. We are running out of time, but before we wrap up, and I know you've got some great resources for everyone we wanna share, you mentioned osteoporosis or osteo products, spinal fractures, which are horrific. We don't want anyone here to have those. They're very silent, but they're also very painful and they're devastating because they do decrease your lung capacity. So your ability to breathe and, and oxygenate your tissues and have so many consequences. Can you just talk a little bit about osteoporosis? I can't tell you how many women I come across who have not had osteoporosis screening and they are well beyond the age at which they qualify for that or the medical risk factors that should qualify them and their doctors aren't talking to them about it. So I'm wondering if you could just put a plug in for women to get osteoporosis screening, what that should consist of, who should be getting it and how important it's, well, Speaker 3 (41:30): I don't know, like, you know, that's not in my area. I just see a lot of it because of the spine that I, you know, the, the 'cause I've been on the spinal health and because we have to make sure with that, I mean obviously Kevin Ellis is really good at explaining that Margie Bissinger because they deal more with osteoporosis. So look them up obviously. And you are even very well versed in what, when people should be getting checked because as they go through life changes and hormonal changes that affects the bones, that affects the, the, the strength and the density and the mineralization of the bones. But also what I, I like to point out too is I'm gonna take it back to the spine. Osteoporosis will affect the spine, it will affect your posture and that hyper kyphosis, especially if it's weak. So if we're weakening the bones, if we're weakening the bones of the spine, it's gonna cause these micro fractures, it's gonna cause degenerated disc because now there's increased stress on that, it's gonna cause that hunchback. Speaker 3 (42:30): So if you're, you know, per menopausal postmenopausal, they need to get that checked. But even more I think it is important to learn these things that you're teaching through nutrition, through detox, through posture, through sleep, all these healthy living practices to help prevent it. Yes, I know it's, it's a big, big story right now. And I think another big reason why osteoporosis is so profound and rampant now is the medications that people are taking. Mm-Hmm the side effects of these. And there's patients who I've talked to that have been on, they were on 20 years of, of prednisone and it's a steroid which weakens the bones 20 years. And those are obviously acute, special, hopefully they're special cases and not the norm because that is just gonna make your bones trash if you have been on medications, that's a, a good benchmark there is, if you've been on medications for a long period of time, it doesn't have to be steroids, it doesn't have to be prednisone. Speaker 3 (43:31): Make sure you get your bones checked because of the side effects caused not just the bones but your gut health, which affects how your body can absorb these nutrients. That's for osteoporosis. And I just wanna plug one time here, not a, not a plug, but because the most unique part of this whole eat protocol is the T part is the traction. We have to make sure we are addressing that and possibly using some form of traction similar to how braces are put on teeth to correct the structure. We have to put the spine in a position for a certain period of time, hold it there so the ligaments can reform. Alright? And we can use different towels, different techniques of the guy explain it in the spinal hygiene mini class that they'll have access to. Yes, Speaker 1 (44:16): There's so much to talk about it. I know we can't get it all in one show, but we will give them a link which will be in the show notes to share with everyone. And, and I do wanna reiterate, yes, Margie is great about osteoporosis. She's been on the show. So if you miss that episode, go back and listen. If you are a woman over 50, you absolutely should have a dual femur, dual hip DEXA scan to check for osteoporosis. And if you're at increased risk, 'cause you've been on medications like chronic prednisone, there's a whole list of medications that will increase your risk, family history, et cetera, then you wanna get a bone density. So thank you Dr. Ryan for joining us for this essential information to highlight things that we need to be aware of so that we can have great vitality and have an increase in our vitality span, not just our longevity, but how vital and alive we are in those extra years that we're gonna live. Because we do all the things and tell everyone about the spinal hygiene mini class that you have for them. We'll have the link in the show notes and where they can connect with you online.

Dr. Jay and Brad were able to sit down and interview Genesis Chiropractic Software's Vice President of Business Development, Dr. Brian Paris, DC on this week's TechTalk episode. A developer of the renowned Advanced Wellness Systems program, Dr. Paris has worked with thousands of patients with diverse medical histories to put them on a pain-free path that allows them to live an active, confident and healthier life. His dynamic approach to patient care is much like the body itself: interconnected. He looks at the whole person: posture, nutrition, sleep and exercise habits, and movement. After working with Dr. Paris, patients not only find their knee pain solved, but report weight loss, increased energy, and greater self-confidence. Dr. Paris' interest in body mechanics began when he was as an all-state lacrosse player in New Jersey. He began his college studies at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, finishing with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiological Sciences from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a focus in biomechanics. Dr. Paris continued his studies at Life University in Marietta, GA, earning his Doctorate of Chiropractic. While at Life University, Dr. Paris served as President of the Chiropractic BioPhysics® technique club, becoming a certified member early in school and teaching many of his colleagues. He is now a Chiropractic BioPhysics® instructor, advising health care practitioners on technique. Dr. Paris has since developed several wellness programs and consults practitioners nationwide. He is a sought-after presenter, known for his ability to simplify complex health and wellness concepts. Participants report his presentations are engaging and entertaining. When not sharing health and wellness concepts, Dr. Paris enjoys mountain biking, skiing, surfing, ocean kayaking and just about any action sport that pumps adrenaline. If he's not moving himself, Dr. Paris is an actively involved father of his two young children.

Chiropractic biophysics can correct the shape and structure of your spine to allow for proper movement and function which leads to overall wellness.

 Macomb Township Chiropractic Offers Free Dinner with the Doc Dr. Chris McNeil Macomb Township Chiropractic of Macomb County, Michigan, is planning a special get-together called Dinner with the Doc! On Thursday, June 15, at 6:00 pm, Dr. Chris McNeil will be giving a special presentation at the Hamlin Pub on Hayes Road, in Shelby Township. Guests will be treated to a free dinner and beverages (alcohol beverages not included, but available), as well as a chance for a fun, informative evening out. This quarterly event is to not only show appreciation to their many patients, but to give an opportunity for them to bring along family members, friends, neighbors, or even co-workers who may have an interest in chiropractic care. Dr. Chris' presentation will be packed full of information on chiropractic care as well as sharing detailed information on all the different treatments that are available at Macomb Township Chiropractic. Macomb Township Chiropractic Chiropractor Chris McNeil specializes in Chiropractic Biophysics, or postural rehab and disc decompression therapy. This aims to not only help you with pain, but to concentrate on fixing why you are having pain!     Dinner with the Doc will provide the perfect opportunity for those new to chiropractic care to get close and up front with Dr. McNeil, who will be explaining all the areas that chiropractic can help. Chiropractic is not just for back pain! It can help with neck pain and headaches, shoulder pain, hip pain, muscle spasms and numbness in legs and arms, leg pain, hip pain, shoulder and joint pain and stiffness. Dr. Chris' presentation will also be a great refresher for his current patients on all the different areas of the body that continue to benefit from regular chiropractic care. "Keeping the spine aligned with regular adjustments helps the central nervous system function better, which affects every muscle, tissue, and organ in the body. This affect also helps the body's ability to heal damaged tissues quicker, and allows one to recover naturally from injuries and other conditions" say Dr. Chris McNeil Macomb Twp Chiropractic Chiropractic. Macomb Township Chiropractic features many testimonials from patients who have found relief from many different conditions that otherwise were not improving from traditional medical treatments. Some of these patients will share their success stories at the Dinner with the Doc. Areas that will be discussed include: neck pain, back pain, disc injuries,auto and sports injuries, migraines, digestive issues, allergies, high blood pressure, carpal tunnel, vision, ear infections, vertigo, and sciatica. This will also be a great opportunity for people to learn about chiropractic care and pregnancy as well as chiropractic care for children! Chiropractic during pregnancy helps relieve discomfort many expectant moms feel, and it can normalize nervous system function. Studies have shown chiropractic prenatal patients report faster and more comfortable deliveries than prior deliveries before chiropractic care. Every baby can benefit from a less stressful delivery! When it comes to babies and children, Dr. Chris' motto is “healthy children become healthy adults”, and parents will learn how chiropractic can help babies and kids with many early life health concerns. These include: colic, bed wetting, ADHD, recurring ear infections, scoliosis, and recurring infections. Chiropractic has been shown to improve immune function not only in adults, but in kids as well. This extra defense helps to build a solid immune system that is better equipped to fight off viruses and illnesses quicker than those with a lower one.     What makes Dinner with the Doc even more special is guests will have the opportunity after the dinner talk to speak directly with Dr. Chris and his staff, who will be available to answer any questions or concerns they may have! This is a chance to really connect with the doctor and explore possible solutions to health concerns they may be having. Every guest in attendance with one of the regular patients will be offered the ongoing $20 special for their first visit. This includes their consultation as well as a set of chiropractic x-rays which normally is priced at $150. The staff will be available to book your new patient appointment that evening and offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments for your convenience! Dinner with the Doc is a one of a kind experience being offered by Macomb Township Chiropractic and the office is expecting a big turnout at the Hamlin Pub! Not only will you enjoy a great, free meal, but you will come away with a greater understanding of all the benefits chiropractic care can afford you. The registration deadline for existing patients is June 2nd, and spaces are limited. Dr. Chris encourages all his patients to sign up quickly, and to those who are friends or family of current patients, reach out to them so you can attend as well! Additional information can be obtained by calling the office at 586-566-2273 during regular business hours. The Hamlin Pub is located at: 48929 Hayes Road, Shelby Township, Michigan.  

    Macomb Township Chiropractic Chiropractor Chris McNeil Helps Residents with Headaches, Migraines, and Sinus' Macomb Township, Michigan – May 10, 2023 Macomb Township Chiropractic, one of the leading Chiropractic Practices in Macomb Township, wants you to know that headaches can be a real pain in the neck! When you get headaches, it can affect every aspect of your life, from work to family time, sports to exercising, socializing and relax time. Headaches can also affect your body in other ways ranging from depression, anxiety, increased stress levels and fatigue. Migraine headaches can be so intense that they can cause nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, are often reoccurring and affect over 28 million people aged 12 and up.   There are many different types and causes of headaches: tension, cluster, allergy or sinus, exertion, migraines, and also post-traumatic headaches. But one of the most overlooked types of headaches is a spinal headache. Constriction or pinching of nerves in the neck and cervical spine due to misalignment's can cause improper nerve flow to the head and brain, thus contributing to migraine headaches. Nerves leading from the spine control every function of our body, and misalignments of the spine causing nerve pinching and pressure can have negative effects on almost every tissue in the body, especially the nerves in the upper neck and head.   One of Macomb County's prominent chiropractors Dr. Chris McNeil  has been successfully helping people of all ages with headaches and migraines for many years now. While the medical approach to treating headaches and migraines is often over the counter drugs such as Tylenol and Ibuprofen, or prescription drugs like Steroids and Opioids. Dr. Chris believes a natural approach to stimulate and restore proper nerve function from the spine with chiropractic adjustments is the key to relieving headaches and migraines."Tens of thousands of people die every year from taking  over the counter and prescription pain relievers so I always recommend trying safe and natural chiropractic care to help correct the cause of headaches first," says Dr. Chris McNeil Macomb Twp Chiropractic Chiropractor.   Not only do chiropractic adjustments help with headaches, but  research shows they can decrease the frequency of recurring headaches. Macomb Twp Chiropractic is one of the few offices in the state that offer Chiropractic Biophysics and disc decompression therapy. This philosophy seeks to not only identify the cause of your pain or health issue, but to correct it with various methods such as postural rehabilitation, disc decompression therapy, postural traction, postural adjustments and managed corrective care. Macomb Township Chiropractic boasts of success stories from many of their patients who have found relief from headache and migraine pain. Gerry came into the office in November, 2022, complaining of headaches he was having for months, with a pain level of 10, extreme. After four months of treatment from Dr. Chris, Gerry's last re-exam showed vast improvement and he rated his level of pain for headaches at a 3, or mild. So if you or someone you know is suffering from headaches or migraines, call their office at 586-566-2273 to set up an appointment. They are currently offering a new patient special of only $20 for your initial consultation and a full set of chiropractic x-rays. Don't let headaches and migraines get in the way of your daily life when help is available from Dr. Chris at Macomb Township Chiropractic.

Today's guest: Dr. Robert E. Elder Robert E. Elder, D.C., a native of St. Louis, MO, graduated from University of Missouri-Columbia in 1986 with a Bachelors' degree in Biology with an emphasis in Chemistry. While attending the university, he was a pre-med student and became heavily involved in clinical research in the Department of Nephrology. He was involved in the day to day operations of data collection, surgical procedures and research paper development. After graduating, he pursued a career in genetic research, working at Clinical Sciences Research Department/Washington University at Barnes Hospital. He was in charge of sequencing a 2200 base pair nicotinic acetylcholine brain receptor, comparing it to data of other known catalogued genetic sequences. During that time, Dr. Elder was also heavily involved in competitive bodybuilding, winning several awards such as Mr. St. Louis, middleweight class, and suffered a severe injury that affected his right shoulder. He tried different treatment regimens but with no success. Then he was encouraged to seek out chiropractic, even though he was already scheduled for orthoscopic shoulder surgery. Not only did chiropractic heal the true cause of the shoulder pain, which was in the neck, not the shoulder, but it sparked an interest in this unique field of natural healthcare that he was unfamiliar with. Being a bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast, it resonated with his core beliefs about health, wellness and fitness perfectly. He then applied to Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri, which was ranked as one of the top colleges in the country for chiropractic doctorate programs. He graduated in December 1990 and immediately began private practice in January 1991. He continues to pursue a deeper understanding of spinal biomechanics, having a Distinguished Fellow certification in Chiropractic BioPhysics and currently, for the last 8 years, studying independently with Raymond Wiegand, D.C., chiropractic physician, mechanical engineer and physicist as well as the developer of the Spinal Analysis System. Dr. Elder has always considered it his ‘joyful obligation' to continue to pursue knowledge that can be utilized to help his patients with whatever they suffer with or even to optimize health and/or athletic performance, whether it be with the most advanced chiropractic care, functional medicine and nutritional therapy or utilizing some of the many unique therapies he has available such as Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy (PEMF), K Laser or Spinal Disc Decompression therapy. On this episode: Stacey is joined by Dr. Robert Elder for a conversation on nutrition, physical fitness, and his journey from body building to medical research to chiropractic college. Key Takeaways: -Highlight what makes you different from your competition. -As a business owner, your primary focus is to be of service. -Block out your non-negotiable time for self-care. Tweetable Quotes: "You go to school to read and test, but I was lucky enough to have a mentor who taught me what it really means to be a chiropractor." -Dr. Robert Elder "There will be unpredictable situations we will encounter. Our choice in those moments is to react or respond." -Stacey O'Byrne "I set up my own office because I wanted the freedom to do things the way I felt they needed to be done. It was a natural flow for me." -Dr. Robert Elder "Your health has to be part of your foundation for success." -Stacey O'Byrne Dr. Robert Elder: https://www.metrochiro.com (https://www.metrochiro.com) Resources: Instagram: @pivotpointadvantage Schedule a 15 minute call with Stacey: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostacey (http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostacey) If you're ready to take yourself and your business to the next level and are interested in a coaching program that will get you there check out: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess (http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess ) Join an...

Abstract [Purpose] To demonstrate the reduction of symptoms related to Parkinson's disease by improvement in posture. [Participant and Methods] A 59-year-old male patient presented with a prior diagnosis of Parkinson's. Symptoms included a resting right hand tremor, intermittent 'freezing episodes' with gait, mild ataxia with shuffling on toes and bradykinesia assisted with a cane, as well as low back pain and right knee pain. Radiography revealed gross postural and spine deformity. The patient received Chiropractic BioPhysics care including mirror image exercises, spinal traction, spinal adjustments as well as gait rehabilitation. [Results] After 38 treatments over 5 months, the patient had significant improvements in posture alignment as well as gait, balance, hand tremors, low back and knee pains and SF-36 values. A 21 month follow-up revealed the patient had remained essentially well and the initial postural improvements were maintained. [Conclusion] This case demonstrates improvement of various symptoms in a patient with Parkinson's disease. Since poor posture is a long known clinical manifestation of this disorder, it is proposed that the improvement of posture in these patients may lead to improved outcomes. X-ray use in the diagnosis and management in those with spine deformity is safe and not carcinogenic. Keywords: Adult spinal deformity; Parkinson's disease; Posture rehabilitation.

What does it mean to be healthy? Most people don’t even know what health is. Dr. Miller explains health, chiropractic care, and the importance of prevention when it comes to our overall wellbeing. Plus, Dr. Miller dives deep into what it takes to grow and run your own chiropractic practice.This episode is hosted by Dax, partner at FIRESIDE, a marketing services company for small businesses.Dr. Jason Miller is the co-founder of PostureWorks and is a recognized expert in wellness and lifestyle science. In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Miller serves as an instructor for Chiropractic BioPhysics Seminars, teaching lectures at four chiropractic colleges and two medical schools. Dr. Miller has been honored with many awards, including the LCCW Presidents Circle, the 2007 Chiropractic BioPhysics Outstanding Achievement Award, and was named Chiropractor of the Year at the 2013 Chiropractic BioPhysics International Convention. His most significant accomplishment, however, lay within the many lives he has touched and the blessing he feels to be able to help so many people not only add years to their lives but life to their years.In this episode, Dr. Miller opens the show discussing the meaning of chiropractic work. It’s a drugless health profession. They focus on the physical and structural aspects of a person’s health. We all start breaking down over time. Like any machine, the body gets wear and tear. A chiropractor will try to slow the wear down. Plus, they focus on being proactive and prevention-oriented. Most of Dr. Miller’s patients are already in a crisis situation. However, chiropractors can better serve people by doing maintenance before a considerable problem occurs. Our habits are worsening our degenerative processes. Even elementary kids are experiencing degenerative processes. Both the pain levels and degenerative processes are popping up more often among younger generations.A person who is in a crisis situation has a lot more work to do. They need to stop the crisis and build more strength into their body. It takes more work for both the patient and the chiropractor to accomplish those goals. Someone who hasn’t been through a crisis is a lot less work. Our society has completely lost track of what it takes to maintain one’s health. In fact, most people don’t even know what health is. What does it mean to be healthy? Most people think being healthy means that you do not have an active complaint. However, we should be living a lifestyle that our body needs. In general, we should be building in preventative work into our health routines. Dr. Miller knew he wanted to run his own practice. He spent a lot of time working on his business plan. However, it was printed the day the stock market crashed in 2008 – no bank would look at the plan. There were times when Dr. Miller and his partner were worried about finances. They were never worried about providing care, though. With no marketing budget, they did some gorilla marketing and found interesting tactics to spread their knowledge. The chiropractic profession has an attrition rate because there is no business training. It’s a huge problem that chiropractic doctors do not have a background in business. Part of Dr. Miller’s business model is training other people to be successful. Stay tuned, as Dr. Miller explains Chiropractic BioPhysics and how to manage business/personal relationships. In this Episode: About Dr. Jason Miller [ 0:20 ]What chiropractic means [ 0:55 ]Our degenerative processes are getting worse [ 4:10 ]Working with different types of patients [ 6:20 ]Why socialized healthcare will not get to the root of the problem [ 14:50 ]Collaboration between the medical profession and the chiropractic profession [ 17:00 ]The options after chiropractic school [ 23:30 ]About starting and growing your own practice [ 26:20 ]Knowing business before starting your own practice [ 35:45 ]About Chiropractic BioPhysics [ 38:00 ]Managing business/personal relationships [ 44:00 ] Quotes: “80% of the adult population is dealing with some kind of ongoing muscular-skeletal pain.”“Each individual needs to understand what it takes to maintain their health.”“Disease is a lack of health within the body.”“It takes ten to fifteen years for the standard of care to be adopted throughout the hospital system.”“Every new patient is a puzzle that I have to figure out.” Links Mentioned: PostureWorksFIRESIDE for small business marketingS'Mores, By FIRESIDEHeadspaceChiropractic BioPhysicsFollow PostureWorksFacebookInstagramLinkedInYelp

Dr. Joshua Korten attended Life University in Atlanta, Georgia to study chiropractic. While studying, Dr. Korten took a special interest in structural correction of the spine by looking to treatment methods such as Chiropractic Biophysics, and Pettibon. After watching several friends go through standard procedures of scoliosis treatment such as bracing and spinal fusions, Dr. Korten became quite passionate about desiring to help people with scoliosis. As such he spent more time outside of school learning scoliosis-focused correction methods such as those from CLEAR Institute. He graduated with honours and leadership distinctions in March of 2016. Immediately afterwards, Dr. Korten started a practice in Lexington, South Carolina focused around spinal correction, proper functional movement patterns, fitness, and holistic nutrition. Dr. Korten now practices back in Canada in Kelowna, British Columbia and has been practicing with Dr Brian Banman and the great team at Aligned Chiropractic ever since.

One of my old school friends is Seth. Seth studied sport science in Stellenbosch. He got a bursary to study chiropractic in America. During his courses he met Katally. They got married. They graduated together at the same university in chiropractic. They started their own institute called Ideal Posture and Spine https://postureandspine.com/ in Charleston, SC. Seth invited me over to fix my back and we decided to shoot a documentary on the process with Katally. Like with everything in life, no problem is without many parts, facets and moving pieces. A major part of my recovery is nutrition and supplements. This is a chat on how to implement this in your life to become more healthy. WATCH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W72be3-Eb6A DR. KATALLY STRAUSS Chiropractor More About Dr Katally Dr. Katally, originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, is the first chiropractor in her family. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Molecular Biology and Microbiology. She continued her education at Life University receiving her Doctorate in Chiropractic and has since earned an Advanced certification in Chiropractic Biophysics, the most advanced spinal health care system in the world. After a transformation experience under Corrective Chiropractic care, she decided to dedicate her life to helping others. As a sufferer from chronic migraines, stress, anxiety, and depression, traditional medicine failed to help her. Dr. Katally personally witnessed the healing power within herself through Chiropractic Care and lifestyle intervention. Dr. Katally’s discovery of Chiropractic healing saved her life and for this reason, she knew there was no other profession she would rather be in.

Episode 024 - Intentional Networking with Maria Jeancola Guest Bio An entrepreneur at heart, Maria Jeancola loves helping people thrive and succeed. She has found that being part of an amazing company like Aligned Health Center, and spreading the word of Chiropractic BioPhysics, as an unbelievably rewarding experience. In addition to providing health care, She has built Network Fifty Two, a networking group that helps people connect and work together in a mutually beneficial way. She has been amazed at the success of this group from the very beginning and it proves that collaboration is a key ingredient in the pursuit of excellence. To further expand her reach to help others both personally and professionally, she also runs a life and health insurance brokerage. This has allowed her to encompass her wide network of people, businesses, and services to provide a unique approach to help individuals and small businesses with the best possible solution when it comes to insurance, investments and benefits. As a proud mother of three amazing children, she tries to lead by example, believing that a parent should not make their children their excuse, but their reason. Key Takeaways Definition of networking - cultivate productive business relationships Givers attract takers There are angel numbers - the number 52 means to selflessly give Biggest misconception about networking is that there is no one who needs what you do How to network at an event: Set a goal "Don't spray and pray" your business card; quantity isn't always better Start the conversation by talking about the other person Just ask for something Carry a pen to jot down notes on a business card Have a place to collect business cards and a place with your business cards Follow up immediately - connect on LinkedIn with a message and call to action (schedule a coffee) Items mentioned in this episode: www.networkfiftytwo.com www.facebook.com/networkfiftytwo https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariajeancola

Nearly two years ago, a good friend of mine, Dr. Peter Martone, a longtime chiropractor, pointed out I had some problems with my cervical spine. While I initially disagreed, X-rays revealed degeneration in my fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae, even though I had no symptoms at all. In this interview, Dr. Michael Hill — a graduate of Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa — discusses Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) and Gonstead, a specific type of chiropractic treatment that addresses this kind of problem.

In this exclusive interview, special guest, Dr. Deed Harrison, DC of Chiropractic Biophysics, answers questions about cutting edge technology and techniques that can help you excel in the care you give.

Chiropractic BioPhysics is a non-invasive chiropractic treatment that combines physical therapy and decompressive therapy to correct the posture of your spine which allows people to regain overall health and proper body function.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/chiro Last week, podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan interviewed () a woman who calls herself the "" (Yvette d'Entremont) about her juicy, controversial, attention-grabbing article on The Outline entitled "". Now don't get me wrong - Yvette has some interesting ideas and I appreciate both her willingness to question some of the more radical aspects of alternative medicine and potential quackery, as well as her ability to keep us all on our feet and wary of being duped by ineffective therapies. She's even been a podcast guest on my episode "". At the same time, I see a chiropractor regularly. Some of my dear friends are chiropractors. From sacroiliac joint issues to neck pain to digestive problems, chiropractors have fixed my body many a time. So I wanted to give someone from the chiropractor community a chance to speak up on the actual science and evidence-based research of chiropractic medicine. Enter Dr. Jason Jaeger, DC, FCBP. Jason is a chiropractic physician at in Las Vegas. He has practiced since 1999 and has been a chiropractic physician in Las Vegas since 2001 where he has brought his passion for health and wellness to the community that he and his family have called home since the late 1940’s. He is the Administrative Director of Aliante Integrated Physical Medicine, one of Nevada’s leading integrated physical medicine practices. Dr. Jaeger is one of only approximately 1000 chiropractors around the world trained in Chiropractic BioPhysics®, a technique which corrects and restores the spine back to alignment, and one of only 19 instructors for the CBP technique. Dr. Jaeger is also Board Certified in Nevada in CBP®. He is the developer of the Universal Tractioning System (UTS) and received the “2014 Researcher of the Year” award for the Advancement of Chiropractic Science at the Annual Chiropractic BioPhysics® Research Symposium held in New York City.

He is a past board member for the Nevada Chiropractic Association (NCA), is a current board member for the Nevada Chiropractic Council (NCC) and has been deemed an expert by the courts in the State of Nevada. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What Jason thinks of Yvette's statement that "little more than the buffoonery of a 19th-century lunatic who derived most of his medical theory from séances"...[8:00] -Whether those in chiropractic medicine actually respect Daniel David Palmer, founder of chiropractic medicine...[11:42] -Whether it is true that "The defining principle of chiropractic is that health is a state that can be either maintained or lost due to vertebral subluxations"...[13:30] -The type of chiropractic care Jason practices, and the difference between evidence based chiropractic care and "quacks"...[22:40] -What Jason's schooling looked like, and whether it is true that 100% of chiropractic docs graduate from their institution...[26:20] -How big of a problem is "quackery" in chiropractic care, and Jason's thoughts on some of the people Yvette discusses in her article, like Josh Axe, Billy Demoss, and Eric Berg...[30:40] -Where medicine and supplements fit into Jason's practice, and whether his supplements are regulated...[41:00 & 45:50] -What Jason thinks about infant chiropractic care...[47:00] -How you can know if you're getting a "good" vs. a "bad" chiropractic doc...[52:05] -And much more! Resources from this episode: - in which Joe interviews SciBabe Yvette d'Entremont about her article "". -Ben Greenfield's previous interview with Yvette: "" - - - - - But the podcast ain't all... ...in addition to the interview with Jason, my friend and chiropractic physician Dr.  penned his own response to the Joe Rogan interview. Over the course of three decades Dr. Gentempo has built one of the most reputable and recognized names within all of Chiropractic by leveraging tenacity of conviction and unrivaled business acumen. His name has become synonymous with innovation. a mindset which has spawned a myriad of liberating business ventures that all work toward a legacy level goal- to elevate chiropractic in a way never before attempted. Dr. Gentempo has taken a hands on role and has shaped the core business strategy and market entry approach. His direct involvement has been critical for establishing operating philosophies and aligning partnerships that facilitate a purpose driven business model which will ultimately inspire more doctors to serve more people. He is the Chairman on Circle of Docs, a website dedicated to chiropractors. Here's what Dr. Gentempo had to say... The Case for Chiropractic: An Appeal to Open and Rational Minds in Healthcare Introduction Doctors of chiropractic practice throughout the world and in the U.S. are licensed to practice in all 50 states. Although the basic science and clinical science research supporting chiropractic is robust and very compelling, the overwhelming number patient testimonials regarding their experience with chiropractic care is truly remarkable. Most pro sports franchises have team chiropractors. Many celebrities, entertainers and rock bands travel with chiropractors. I have personally taken care of celebrity athletes and have toured with a very famous rock-n-roll band. However, the chiropractic profession, even after over 100 years of extraordinary results serving countless millions of people, remains the target of illiterate controversy and imbecilic attacks. Many in the profession believed that after a United States federal court in September of 1987 found the American Medical Association guilty of Anti-Trust as it conspired to “contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession, that these unfounded and malicious attacks would end. Although many medical doctors regularly refer patients to chiropractors and personally utilize their services, the attacks and misinformation continues. Let me say that this article is not meant to be an anti-medicine rant, although since the practice of medicine is the standard that many use to judge chiropractic, certain data must be brought to light. I appeal to the reader to, for a few moments, suspend conventional, indoctrinated thinking relative to healthcare so the perhaps a new and better understanding can emerge. In many respects, chiropractic is for the pioneer, the forward thinker. The person who has a bias toward a more natural approach to life and healing. It is indisputable that for over 100 years, chiropractic has radically and positively transformed the lives of many, many people throughout the world. The question is: why? Volumes of books have been published to more fully answer this question. My attempt here is to give a brief summary that organizes the logic and thinking around a truly unique and powerful service to humanity, chiropractic. History Of Chiropractic (Was D.D. Palmer A Quack?) The birth of chiropractic occurred in 1895 after the founder of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer, had given what he described as a specific spinal adjustment to a partially deaf man named Harvey Lillard, resulting in the restoration of his hearing.  Many detractors refer to this as a myth and incorrectly cite that there is no physiological basis for this account.  In fact, there are many published cases of improved hearing after chiropractic care. These reports, published in refereed, peer-reviewed scientific journals come from around the world.  by Dr. Christopher Kent, who has assembled some of these references and proposes some of the neurological mechanisms. On a personal note, in my own practice experience, I have had patients with hearing deficits experience marked improvement in their hearing as a result of chiropractic adjustments.  One story I’d like to share occurred within my first year of practice.  A gentleman in his late 60s, let’s call him Stan, came into my office with primary complaints of low back and neck pain.  He had hearing aids in both ears and had a significant hearing deficit for over 10 years.  After Stan’s first adjustment, he left the office. A few minutes later he came walking back in. He had tears in his eyes.  I saw him in the reception room and quickly approached to see what happened.  He asked, “Is it possible that what you did cured my hearing loss?”  I replied, “Yes, as a matter of fact, that is the first case chiropractic was founded on.”  He sobbed as he said, “Normally in my car, I have to turn the radio volume all the way up to hear it.  I just now barely cracked the knob and I heard it clearly!”  He then hugged me with quite a bit of force (he was a big guy), turned and left.  Now, this is an ‘anecdote’ and some may say, “it doesn’t matter”.  But I will tell you, it mattered to Stan.  And it mattered to me. We can debate the probability of a chiropractic adjustment being able to restore hearing deficits and it is a worthy debate.  But personally, I have zero tolerance of fools who shrilly cry, "there is no plausible explanation for the Harvey Lillard story". Like any healthcare profession, chiropractic consists of a philosophy, science and art.  And in fact, the philosophy leads the science and art.  So let’s break some of this down. Philosophy Of Chiropractic (And Why Medicine Isn't Really "Healthcare") I have always subscribed to Ayn Rand’s assertion that when you have contradictions in your basic philosophical premises, the only possible result is destruction.  The amount of destruction is relative to the level of the contradiction.  We are in the midst of what is described as an unprecedented healthcare crisis.  In the United States we spend over $3 trillion per year on what we call healthcare, yet we are getting sicker, using more drugs, and some predict that the current generation is the first generation that will have a lifespan less than that of their parents.  I assert that the biggest contradiction in our culture today is calling medicine "healthcare".  The practice of medicine is not healthcare, it is sick-care, and when you take sick-care and give it to a culture as healthcare, you end up with a sick society.  And no matter how much money you spend, you will never solve the problem. In contrast, what are some of the foundational premises chiropractic is based upon? A living body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism. Cut your hand, it heals.  Right now, your heart is functioning, kidneys, liver, digestion, etc. All this happens without you taking anything or  thinking about it.  It is an innate/inborn process. The nervous system is the master system and controller of your body coordinating and controlling all the functions of the body. This is universally understood although there could be debate over some of the nuances and details.  But let’s stay big picture for now. Based on numbers 1 and 2 above, it stands to reason that if you interfere with nervous system function, you necessarily interfere with the ability for the body to heal and regulate. Stress in 3 dimensions, physical (how you use your body), biochemical (what you put into your body) and psychological (the mind/body connection), beyond what your nervous system can adapt to and dissipate, leads to patterns of vertebral subluxation (more on this in a minute) which diminishes the ability for the nervous system to function, thereby resulting in a state of declining health. Are Vertebral Subluxations For Real? Critics of the chiropractic profession try to assert that there is no evidence of this phenomenon referred to as vertebral subluxation.  The term subluxation describes a bone that is moved out of place, but is not dislocated.  So, a vertebral subluxation, in the chiropractic culture, refers to spinal segments that due to stress are misaligned causing interference of nervous system function and reducing the body’s ability to heal and regulate.  The goal of chiropractic is to identify these vertebral subluxations and apply adjustments to the spine for the purpose of restoring alignment and improved nervous system function.  To be clear, technically speaking there is much more to this.  However, for the purposes of this paper which is to be read by the general public, I offer a simplified explanation. I have heard ‘skeptics’ erroneously say that “there is no evidence that vertebral subluxation exists”.  This is absurd.  Personally, I have co-developed technology which I hold patents on and has been registered with the FDA for the purposes of helping to characterize the structural and neurological components of vertebral subluxation.  It is being utilized by thousands of chiropractors throughout the world.  Further, myself and others have authored and co-authored numerous articles in peer-reviewed, indexed journals outlining operational definitions of vertebral subluxation. The Association of Chiropractic Colleges unanimously adopted a position paper with reference to much of this that  Some may attempt to disagree with the conclusions relative to all this, but only a fool would assert that “there is no evidence”. Below is a graphic that helps one understand the healthcare continuum in the chiropractic paradigm: Many falsely accuse chiropractors of making claims about ‘curing’ diseases like cancer or diabetes.  Let’s be clear… chiropractic is not the treatment of any limited number of diseases.  Through the correction of subluxation, the body’s own recuperative powers are unleashed resulting in the ability for the body to increase the potential to heal, regardless of disease.  There are numerous randomized controlled clinical trials published in peer-reviewed research journals demonstrating that subjects with a wide range of conditions respond positively to chiropractic care. As a partial list, these conditions include ulcers, headaches, infantile colic, dysmenorrhea, visual impairment, high blood pressure, middle ear infections and a host of others.  What is important to understand is that there is not a headache adjustment versus a high blood pressure adjustment versus and infantile colic adjustment.  There is just the adjustment of subluxation which gives the body the best opportunity to heal. It is of course true that many patients, especially those who have failed in the medical system, have sought chiropractic care in hopes of relief from a particular set of symptoms or conditions. And many times they attain the desired outcome.  But unlike medicine, who has a different drug or intervention depending on the condition they are treating, chiropractic aspires to harness the innate healing power of the body regardless of condition.  In my practice I had seen a good number of patients with debilitating and sometimes terminal conditions.  Some completely recovered.  Some didn’t.  All had a better quality of life as a result of the care. Right now the skeptics are saying, “this is unproven, unscientific, even unethical!  All doctors must practice evidence based care!” This debate, which I have been in for many years boils down to one critical question: what will you accept as evidence?  And this is a philosophical question that stems from the second branch of philosophy, epistemology - the theory of knowledge. Many try to contend that the gold-standard of evidence is the RCT (or randomized controlled clinical trial).  And although this certainly is a part of a composite for evidence, it has some very well documented shortcomings.  This is how, for example, a drug like Vioxx can go through RCTs, get approved by the FDA, and then have as many as 60,000 people die as a result of adverse reactions (according to David Graham, M.D. of the FDA).   Further, an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) cited that over 100,000 people per year die from adverse drug reactions when the drugs are ‘properly prescribed’…meaning that this doesn’t include negligence.  All these drugs were cleared by the FDA after submitting RCTs for safety and efficacy. In the meantime, many decry the "risk" of chiropractic due to this perceived lack of evidence and proper testing.  This is on its face ridiculous.  Two things (and again, this isn’t about medical bashing, I wouldn’t want to live in a culture where medical care wasn’t available – it is about getting the facts and comparisons straight): Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States ahead of stoke, diabetes and many other conditions. . The real measurement of risk is malpractice rates. The actuaries don’t care about politics or opinions.  They simply run data.  Chiropractic malpractice rates are incredibly low because the risk of a law suit is incredibly low.  Rates for the highest coverage available are typically under $2000 per year.  Contrast that to medical rates for varying specialties that can be 10 to 100 times that amount.  It is indisputable that chiropractic is a much safer form of care than medicine. In my view, there are four major forms of evidence to substantiate efficacy of care.  None by themselves are adequate.  They must be taken in concert.  They are: Deduction: Using one’s knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biology, etc. and applying logic to draw conclusions. Induction: In health research applications, this is the randomized, controlled clinical trial. Outcome Assessment: Measuring parameters on individual patients longitudinally as they receive care.  I spent much of my career in this area. Case Research: This is taking actual patients being cared for by actual doctors in the real world.  These cases are written up in detail, go through peer-review and are published. By looking at these four as variables in the evidence equation, chiropractic stands very proud and strong in the realm of evidence. I think it is important to point out that chiropractic, based on its philosophy and understanding the deeper principles of life and nature, has taken controversial positions throughout the decades. For example, chiropractors quite some time ago raised concerns about the widespread indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Logic being that human-beings aren’t the only organisms on the planet that adapt.  Microbes do to, and they do it faster.  So if you are constantly killing off microbes, it is the weaker ones that die, leaving the stronger ones to evolve.  In the meantime, our human immune systems get weaker as we don’t have the opportunity to strengthen immunity naturally.  We find ourselves today in a full-blown crisis as we have now have created antibiotic resistant ‘super-bugs’. The World Health Organization and the CDC anticipate that if nothing is done, by the year 2050, the yearly deaths due to antimicrobial resistance worldwide will be about 10 million and have a global cost of $70 trillion!  With a little logic and humility (we can’t arrogantly think that we can just wipe out all disease-causing microbes without consequence), we wouldn’t have this mess. The Art of Chiropractic & Why Some Chiros Are Different Than Others Chiropractors vary in their modes of practice.  Some choose to limit their practice to back and neck pain only.  Some not only adjust and correct spines, but they also get into general lifestyle wellness protocols.  Others specialize in particular health challenges as they have special expertise there.  All this does create brand confusion for sure.  There is not one definitive mode of service practiced in the marketplace.  However, I think this is true of many allied health professions and the diversity breeds choice. The art of chiropractic rests in the delivery of the chiropractic adjustment.  And there are many ‘techniques’ practiced by doctors of chiropractic.  Some focus in specific areas of the spine.  Some use very low force.  Some use instruments.  Here’s what I know.  They all work.  For sure, some patients prefer or respond better to technique approaches.  But there are many effective chiropractic technique approaches that help people.  The key is finding the one that best suits you. There is no doubt that there are some bad actors out there in chiropractic.  But of course, the same must be said for medicine, law, tax accounting and any other professional service.  An expression about babies and bathwater comes to mind when considering this. Summary In summary, the chiropractic profession offers a very unique and powerful service to humanity.  People benefit most when pro-actively engaging in chiropractic care to upgrade their health expression as compared to waiting till there is a problem and then trying to deal with it.  Chiropractic truly shines in this area. Unfortunately, there are still many ignorant voices out there spewing nonsense and dissuading people from seeing chiropractors.  But fortunately, there is less of them every day while more people of influence become public about their incredible experiences with chiropractic care.

http://ezwellnessclub.comIn this video Dave and Dr. Kepo'o review Sunwarrior Warrior Blend protein powder. With the busy lives that we live it can be hard to find time to cook meals that give your body the correct amount of protein in our diets. Protein is essential for building muscle, loosing weight, and balancing out blood sugars which helps with cravings and helps you stay full longer with reduced cravings for sugar. There are many different kinds of protein powders available to buy but many are difficult for the body to digest and your body cannot absorb all the necessary protein to function properly. The Sunwarrior Protein is plant based, raw, gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. This protein blends well and is easy for the body digest which ensures that your body is able to absorb more protein than other protein powders.
