Update
February
was heart health month. I spent a lot of effort getting the word
out on healthy-heart diets and steered a lot of eating habits for the
better. That was satisfying. We had a lot of grateful
folks come in for our Thursday specials. For those that came in,
thank you for your participation in our special days. Our
son, Garrett is still enjoying his Karate lessons with Michael Hamm at
United Studios of Self Defense. Again, we can highly recommend
Michael and have had several patients sign up their kids. Thank
you Michael for taking good care of our kids. With Garrett in
karate were are now here on Saturdays from 10 AM to 11 AM while Garrett
does his lesson. If you wish to get in on a Saturday you'll
need to call because we have not opened it up for online booking.
This month we have a few Thursday specials again. And finally, I had
a lot of fun writing about what a vertebral subluxation may cause.
You'll see I let my imagination go a little wild.

Savvy.
This
awesome salve is something we have carried for years and it's a favorite of
many of our patients. It's has no mineral oils.
Mineral oils are found to increase estrogen levels in the body which can
be harmful. It can be used for minor scrapes, burns, sunburns,
diaper rash, insect bites, chapped or dry skin. You can also use
it as as a daily hand lotion.

The
cost of not getting a spinal adjustment.
Spinal
Subluxation at these vertebral areas *may cause the following:
Cervical (C) 1. Headaches, nervousness, insomnia, head colds, nervous breakdowns, anxiety, difficulty turning head. This could lead to a inability to turn your head far enough to see oncoming traffic... and you could be hit by a cement truck.
C2.
Sinus troubles, allergies, crossed eyes, deafness, eye troubles,
fainting spells. You might think it's funny to cross your eyes
once in a while, but it's no laughing matter if you can not un-cross
them.
C3.
Neuralgia, neuritis, acne, pimples, dry skin. You could have acne
in your 30's, 40's, or 50's.
C4.
Hay fever, roseacea, hard of hearing, tonsillitis. You may find
yourself day dreaming about a long lost love while strolling along - what
you thought was an abandoned set of railroad tracks. And,
all-the-sudden you felt the ground shake...
C5.
Laryngitis, hoarseness, throat conditions. Remember when
Bobby Brady's voice kept crackling in the Brady Bunch's singing
competition. Carol and Mike thought it was because Bobby's
voice was changing. Well, maybe he had a C5 subluxation from
falling off the trellace when he tried sneaking out the window.
C6.
Stiff neck, pain in the upper arm, weakness in the arm, loss of grip
strength. Lately you've been waking up with a stiff and achy hand
that is sensitive to cold. To complicate things - One cold
morning, you find your furnace barely working and making a funny
noise. You think "what the heck", I can probably fix it
myself. You unscrew a little screw while investigating and
immediately hear a hiss coming from the screw's hole. You smell rotten
eggs. A panic rushes through your body as you look three inches
below the hole left by the missing screw and see the flame of
the pilot light. Your hand feels heavy and clumsy.
During your attempt to get the screw on the end of the screwdriver
and back into the hole you fumble the screw to the ground.
C7.
Bursitis, thyroid gland, shoulder strength. At 33, you wake up one
day to shower and notice more hair in the bath drain, your energy
is seems low, you think - is this age? A couple
months later you feel a bald spot on the back of your head.
Thoracic
(T) 1. Asthma, dry cough, shortness of breath. Your
best friends, one-by-one, get "into" riding bikes. Some
are starting to enter local bike races. One night at a dinner
party everyone else is talking about bikes, you have nothing
to offer. You sit and listen intently, then you phase-out
and focus on how asthma is effecting your life. A friend
wakes you out of your trance by saying "what's up man - you
look bummed".
T2.
Heart conditions, chest pains, irregular heart beat. Being
the astute cardiologist you are, you prescribe the proper
medication for the patient's heart condition. Instead of having
the patient return in two weeks with the changes you expect.. nothing
changes. Several medications later and still no improvement. You're
stumped.
T3.
Bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, congestion. Being the
consummate cougher, you cough a loogy right onto your bosses nose
immediately after he gives you a raise for a job well done.
T4.
Gull bladder conditions, jaundice, shingles. You itch and
itch along your ribs and your skin gets scaly and dry. You start
to feel a deep pain. You think a spider has bitten
you all around your rib cage on one side, but it does not go away.
You finally you see your medical doctor, who diagnoses shingles. After taking
Prednisone for a couple weeks you are still itching. You continue
to itch and itch because you've never heard of chiropractors fixing
shingles. I mean what the heck is that about? Aren't
chiropractors for back and neck pain only???
T5.
Liver, solar plexus, stomach conditions. In college you could stay
up late and down a 6 pack and still make it to class the next
morning. In your 30's, you learned all about wine and mixed
drinks, your margaritas were always the hit of the party. After
that ski accident at 42 you start to have terrible headaches and feel
off for days after just one glass of wine. You chalk-it-up to
age.
T6.
Indigestion, heart burn. You take 10 to 12 Tums a day to kill the
heart burn you suffer with. One day you start spitting up blood.
Your endoscopy reveals Barrett's disease of the esophagus, one stage
before cancer.
T7.
Diabetes, gastritis, pancreatitis. Suddenly you've put on 15 extra
pounds, you've been craving sweets. You start drinking lots of
Diet Coke and chewing sugar free gum... ignoring the potential harmful
effects of artificial sweeteners.
T8.
Spleen, stomach, adrenal cortex, leukemia. Being the Chiropractor
you are you realize your indigestion is a direct result of that old T8
subluxation. Like everyone else you were just too busy to get
adjusted before your vacation. During dinner, your traveling
companions agree you must have drank the water. You try to
explain why a T8 subluxation gives you a stomach ache. Everyone
looks at you with a blank stare. On the way back from the rest
room you hear the muffled word "quack" spoken from
someone at the dinner table.
T9.
Adrenal glands, allergies, hives. Spending years as a personal
trainer are about to pay off as you just landed the cover shoot for
Muscle and Fitness. The day before the big-day, you break out in
huge purple hives. Ten
years go by and you're still waiting for another big break.
T10.
Kidney troubles, hardening of the arteries, nephritis, testes, uterus.
You've just been invited to spend the night at a friends house.
Mom and Dad nervously approve, praying that your
"little-problem" does not happen. The next morning you
wake up wet and have the terrible realization that you didn't make
it through the night.
T11.
Uterus, ovaries, large intestine. You've spent years no
longer using birth control, just patiently waiting.. and waiting...
Your biological clock is no longer ticking - it's screaming. You
become driven to conceive. 10 fertility procedures later and you're
still not pregnant.
T12.
Rheumatism, gas pains, lymph circulation, small intestines. Your
friends call you the "gas master".
Lumbar
(L) 1. Constipation, colitis, diarrhea, hernias.
Suddenly you have a warm and runny surprise during a hardy laugh at
the ball game.
L2.
Appendicitis, cramps, difficulty breathing, acidosis, upper leg.
Finally after years of hard work you are able to afford that fifty
thousand dollar sports car. The only problem is, every time you
sit in your sports car seat, you constantly have to itch
your upper leg because of the constant numbness.
L3.
Bladder troubles, menstrual troubles, male impotency, knee pains.
Being married to the woman with the T11 subluxation, you are plagued,
with what is know in chiropractic circles as the "double
whammy". In laymen's terms, you are impotent, and so is your
wife.
L4.
Prostate problems, low back spasms, sciatica pain, leg weakness.
After getting pinned hard in a wrestling match you are having a
difficult time getting your urine to flow. You stand at the urinal
for 10 minutes and your team mates wonder what the heck your doing there
for so long.
L5.
Swollen ankles, weak ankles, tingling in the feet, leg cramps.
During whoopee you are struck with a terrible cramp, you straighten out
your leg and kick the lamp next to the bed. It's a high wattage
halogen lamp from the 90's, it falls onto the bed and burns your butt
ending any chance for further romance.
Sacrum.
Pelvic problems, leg length, spinal curvatures. Every pair of
pants you buy need to be tailored because your pant leg is too long on
one side.
Coccyx.
Hemorrhoids, anal itching, pain with sitting. Whenever you sit for
more than 10 minutes you find yourself leaning to one side because of a
pain in your behind. Eventually you notice uneven side wear
patterns on your chairs. Your parents are still telling you to
sit-up-straight... and your 42.
Once again, than you for your readership.
