On September 18, 1895 D.D. Palmer performed the first specific chiropractic adjustment on a janitor in his office building, named Harvey Lillard. Today, Chiropractic is recognized as the third largest healthcare profession in the world and the fastest growing.
Read MoreChronic maternal stress negatively impacts various stages, as well as neurodevelopment of the baby. It is important to enhance stress resilience and promote healthy choices.
Read MoreMuch of life, is unpredictable. To do almost anything interesting is to put yourself into a situation where you can’t be sure what will happen next. Society continues to put restraints on opportunities for children to experience risky play, out of concern for safety. It is no surprise children today are suffering record levels from anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of helplessness, and poor physical fitness. Something stressful activates the sympathetic nervous system, so heart rate increases. Risky play helps to normalize physiological arousal so it is not itself a source of fear.
Read MoreSubluxations cause change in the nervous system’s tonal expression, either toward a sympathetic or parasympathetic state of function. Chiropractors have long recognized how subluxations can be caused by the inability of normal adaptability to thoughts, traumas, and toxins.
Read MoreTherefore, the strength of the host, not the presence of the germ, was the true causal factor of disease. Abundant health and vitality for a lifetime are your nature and your birthright, just as they are for the germ. All there is to fear is that interference, that toxicity, that deficiency that would disconnect you from your healing source, weakening your defenses, and distorting the fullest expression of your inner life potential. You are built to be well!
Read MoreOur brains are not designed for this amount of information overload. The brain is a memory organ that rewires and reorganizes itself based on our daily lifestyle habits. Our minds have been trained to expect to take in information in the same way that the news distributes it.
Read MoreNational Institute of Mental Health did a study for a simple motor task - finger tapping exercise. As the subjects tapped they did an fMRI to see what parts of the brain were being activated. In 4 weeks after finger tapping exercises were performed, a repeated fMRI of the brain showed that areas of the brain expanded by recruiting new nerve cells and had rewired neuronal connections.
Read MoreWhy do so many of us feel like we're going 0 to 100 mph everyday? Why do so many of our children do the same. Lets dig into the science behind getting “STUCK” in stress mode, and how to get “DETOXED” if you are! Every day, there are changes or challenge that bring stress. It causes parents to become overwhelmed and even feel toxic under stress.
Read MoreJust because the roof leaks only after it rains, doesn’t mean we wait until it gets bad enough or that it will eventually stop leaking.
Read MoreTrue health is like climbing stairs. It’s not easy but more work always ends up in a better place. The sooner we start, the easier it will be to maintain that overall wellness than to regain it once it is lost. This is why we have a saying in our office “it is easier to grow healthy children, than it is to mend broken adults”.
Read MoreWe often weaken our neuroimmune system by over stressing the body, not getting the proper nutrients or proper recovery time, and by using our educated mind to undermine it’s natural ability and send in artificial robot cells that appear and act like the real thing to do the job. The problem is the brain no longer learns from the experience or maybe the battle is prolonged, which isn’t sustainable. Chiropractic adjustments help the body recover and function optimally so the Innate Intelligence can live a life of full expression.
Read MoreHealing takes time and repetition. Just because we aren’t seeing the results on the surface in six weeks doesn’t mean healing isn’t happening underneath. Neurologically based chiropractors use state of the art technology to assess the state of the underlying function of the nervous system in order to get to the root cause
Read MoreTrue health is being able to navigate through all the messy, stressful situations you encounter in life without getting stuck in a rut. Regular chiropractic care can help you do that.
Read MoreStudies show that regular neurologically-based chiropractic care can have a positive effect on brain activity. The key to this is through the autonomic nervous system- more specifically the vagus nerve.
Read MoreChiropractic care removes obstructions in the nervous system and restores the neurological pathways necessary to ensure proper flow of blood and information, which has a positive effect on neuroplasticity. And what we see is that the life of a child improves.
Read MoreMost people think life begins at birth, but the truth is, it begins much earlier. Long before your baby takes their first breath, their nervous system is already active, sensing and responding to the world inside the womb. What happens during pregnancy doesn’t just impact physical growth, it deeply shapes emotional and psychological well-being.
While most of us are led to believe that the health of our children is determined by DNA and their genetic code, research tells us that in reality the health of a developing child’s nervous system and the environment they are developing in throughout pregnancy and childhood play a far greater role in determining their health.
The next time you wake up feeling stiff or sore and find yourself blaming your pillow or the way you slept, remember it’s more likely a sign of unresolved stress in your nervous system.
