Chiropractor Saratoga presents: Chiropractic is more than pain relief, it is about improving your quality of life.

Posted on December 14, 2010 by thedoc

`One adjustment might give temporary relief….however, not a life time fix
Our bodies are constantly bombarded with stress & toxins.
The question is not a matter of if we will get sick….it should be when will we get sick ??
Chiropractic adjustments not only relieves tension/stress on your musculoskelatal system
Chirporactic restores balance within your nervous system. Your nervous system controls everything!
Getting adjusted allows your body to become an even better healing miracle it was intended to be
Kind of like tuning up a race car or fine tuning a musical instrument such as a piano.

What would happen if you never tuned up a piano or a race car???
The car would run lousy and probably handle like crap & the piano would not create beautiful melodies like a finely tuned piano would.

Our bodies and nervous system is basically the same if not finely tuned.

Chiropractic is more than pain relief, it is about improving your quality of life.

What I do is help improve the quality of people’s life.

Millions of people world wide receive the benefits of continued Chiropractic Care.
I invite you to be one of them.

Your Chiropractor,

Chiropractor Saratoga Presents: Are You Suffering from the Effects of Nutritional Deficiencies or Imbalances?

Posted on November 3, 2010 by thedoc

Are You Suffering from the Effects of Nutritional Deficiencies or Imbalances?

Nutrients such as amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and elecrtolytes are the building blocks of the body. They provide energy, support metabolism, and are needed for many biochemical reactions to sustain health. Key nutrients may become deficient for various reasons. These may include:

  • Disease processes, which may block metabolism
  • Poor dietary habits
  • Physical, mental, and emotional stress

When key nutrients become deficient, many metabolic processes are affected. The body may initially try to compensate for such imbalances. However, if they are prolonged, they may contribute to hormonal issues, metabolic disorders, increase in toxic load, oxidative stress, organ weakness, tc. Many symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, and irritability may be effectively addressed with proper nutritional considerations.

Your friendly Chiropractor in Saratoga presents:What is Chiropractic Lifestyle

Posted on October 16, 2010 by thedoc

Just a friendly reminder. There are 3 things that cause health problems….
1) stress (chemical stress, physical stress, emotional stress(school, studying,relationships..etc.)),
2) trauma (prolonged positions…sitting at computer,poor posture,texting, repetitive motion…etc
3) toxins (air we breath, water we drink, food we eat, makeup, perfume, cologne,smog…etc…)

Below I listed/mentioned some healthy habits to remind you or to implement into your life.
Chiropractic is more than popping bones….it is a lifestyle that enables people to live a good or better quality of life true preventative Wellness.
Long term this is more efficient and cost effective compared to reactive care. Reactive care is to wait for a problem or pain to occur before anything is done. Pain is a poor indicator of health. Pain usually is the last thing to happen when there is a problem. For example, most people don’t know they have a cavity forming or even cancer forming…usually people will not notice or they will feel the pain when it is too late! The way we live today will dictate our tomorrow! Only God knows how much time we have here in this lifetime! Live it healthy! live it strong!

  • Remember to get plenty of sleep (7-10 hrs)…. sleeping is vital to help you/your body to rejuvenate, rest, and repair
  • Drink plenty of water…..We are made up of 78-90%…Water will help metabolize your nutrients, help eliminate some toxins, and give you more energy!
  • Exercise! Done properly….this will reduce stress, strengthen your immunity, increase bone density, reverse/slow down aging process…too many benefits to tell
  • Stretch…Keeping your muscles balanced and flexible will allow better blood flow and improve energy levels. Also a healthy amount of strength, balance and flexibility will help significantly reduce the risk of injury within your muscles,tendons,ligaments and joints.
  • SuperFoods & Nutritional Cleansing to reduce/eliminate toxins from our system. Keeping our liver,colon, and our cells clean will allow for a better running system/metabolic profile thus reducing stress internally
  • Protandim. This is clinically proven to reduce Oxidative Stress in our system 40-70% and as a netrogenome this stimulates about 300 of 500 protective genes and produces 1million antioxidants per 1 cell every second of the day!!This is much more beneficial than taking antioxidants. Normally Antioxidants are taken in via supplements or food such as blueberries or grapes.doing this only produces 1 antioxidant per 1 cell. Compared to what protandim does, this is almost useless for fighting oxidative stress! Oxidative stress is responsible for more than 150 disease processes!
  • Chiropractic Care is Vital to restore and even maintain an Optimum functioning Nervous System! Your nervous system is ultimately in charge of every system and function in your body! Chiropractic adjustments  help your musculoskeletal system maintain balance ! Most importantly,  Chiropractic Adjustments keep stress off of all your Vital Organs in your body! There is no gaurantee of how long we are to live here on earth. Only God knows that answer! However, it is the quality of our life that matters! Live it Healthy…..Live it Strong!

Call me anytime and I will help you
Your friendly Chiropractor,
Corey
