December 2007 Newsletter

Each year millions of people enjoy the most popular natural, drug free health care system in the world—CHIROPRACTIC! Chiropractic helps people function closer to their physical best; recover from sickness, disease and disability faster and minimize the use of drugs and surgery in their lives! Patients of chiropractic frequently report less stress, more vitality and enjoyment of life!

How does it work?

Chiropractic releases stress from your body. We often experience a subluxation, a distortion in your spine that can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain, posture, and overall health.

Of course if you are presently ill and suffering, you need your natural healing ability enhanced so you can better fight disease and return yourself to a state of balance and health. That is a fact no matter what disease or condition you may have. By correcting your subluxations, you awaken your natural healing ability to function at its optimum; you are actually awakening your inner doctor.

For millions chiropractic has made the difference between living with pain or without pain, between living with sickness or living in health, between a fast recover or slow.

Why live with health problems when you can live without them? Discover chiropractic—discover how natural healing can be.

Some cool new stuff that will help you stay smart!

Asthma…..What do most asthmatics die from?

Researchers from Stanford and Cornell Universities reviewed 19 studies involving nearly 34,000 patients and found that people using popular drug inhalers for asthma were 2.5 times more likely to be hospitalized for severe asthma attacks and 3.5 times more likely to die than those using different inhalers. 5000 people die each year from asthma in the US and about 4000 are caused by these drugs.

To take things even further, there was a study in Australia a few years ago, that found consistent chiropractic care reduced and eliminated the need for inhalers in 30% of people studied. How Cool!
The Brain…..The brain is amazing, and we are learning more and more about it each day. I receive a weekly newsletter from Dr. Amen MD(www.amenclinics.com). In his most recent newsletter he talks about the positive effects of exercise on the brain.  Here is an excerpt from his last newsletter.

EXERCISE BUILDS STRONG BRAINS!

We’ve known for many years about the physiological benefits of exercise. Certainly it’s good for our hearts, lungs and muscles. Recently, studies have shown the remarkable effect regular exercise has on our brains and mental wellness.

I’ve referred to it as “medicine’s dirty little secret”. In head to head studies, regular aerobic exercise has been shown to be just about as effective as certain popular anti-depression medications for treating clinical depression.

Back Surgery……..Does it work?

Two studies were conducted. The first in Cincinnati and the second in Washington state. Both studies had similar results, patients who had low back pain and went through surgery mostly were taking narcotics at the follow up, needed a second surgery or were still not working a year later. I suggest if you or anyone you know is suffering from back pain…..get it checked out before it is TOO LATE.

High Blood Pressure……The Seattle PI recently had an article stating the positive effects of chiropractic on high blood pressure. There has been a lot of positive press  after a Chicago based study of 50 people with high blood pressure determined a significant decrease in blood pressure after just one adjustment. Check it out….
