What is Wellness?
I want to introduce you to our wellness center and explain the concept of wellness care. The concept of wellness has taken on a broad meaning related to health care. It is considered care without drugs that can not only eliminate health problems but also prevent them. That is exactly what our wellness center does and here is how we do it.
We believe that there are 5 causes of health problems:
- Physical damage to the nervous system,
- Toxicity
- Stress
- Allergies
- Nutritional deficiency
The most common and overlooked cause of many health problems is damage to the nervous system
Physical damage to the nervous system (often when we are young) from falls, accidents, bad posture, lack of exercise, etc. can lead to pain and loss of normal nerve function. For example, have you ever had a pebble in your shoe? Pressure on nerves in your foot causes pain and discomfort. To resolve the problem you remove the pebble. Physical problems respond to a physical solution. The same thing happens in the spine. Misaligned bones in the spine put pressure on a nerve, which can cause pain. For instance, pressure on a nerve in your neck can cause headaches or neck pain. Pressure on nerves of the low back can cause low back or leg pain. Chiropractic treatment of the spine removes the pressure on the spinal nerves, resolving the pain. However there are 2 types of nerves; nerves of pain and nerves of function. Only 10% of the nerves are related to pain, 90% of the nerves control function. Function means to work. Nerves control your metabolism, hormone balance, digestion, circulation, and breathing to name a few. Every single function of the body is controlled by the nervous system. If there is pressure on a nerve of function you don’t function correctly. You might not even feel any pain. The first thing we do is to find out what is not functioning properly.
Toxins come from pollution of the air, water, food, and from cosmetics and cleaning products.
In the U.S. there are 82,000 chemicals in use, of which only a quarter have ever been tested for toxicity. The liver is the primary detoxifier of everything that enters the digestive tract or that is breathed in or absorbed through the skin. When there are too many chemicals the liver fails to function. Furthermore, the liver works as a processor, converting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into fuel the body can use. Thus, if cannot function properly, your health is in jeopardy. When the liver and kidneys cannot eliminate all these chemical impurities, they move them into your blood stream, and they can enter cells and destroy their normal function. To prevent the destruction of cells the body tries to surround the chemicals with fat, which can cause weight gain.
We offer two solutions to cleanse the body. One is through a nutritional cleansing program and the other is a detoxifying foot bath which can pull the toxins out through your feet.
Stress alters you hormonal balance.
The primary glands of stress are the adrenal glands, which produce 4 major hormones;
Adrenalin - raises heart rate and blood pressure. Imbalances can lead to heart disease.
Norepinephrine - takes blood out of digestive tract and puts it into the muscles. Imbalances can lead to digestive problems.
Cortisol - breaks down fat into sugar keeping energy constant. Problems can include allergies, arthritis, fatigue, sleep problems, and weight issues.
DHEA- master sex hormone of the body controlling estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Imbalances can affect menopause, PMS, infertility, and decreased libido.
Allergies
Allergies are divided into 4 main groups; food, medication, insect venom, and environmental. Symptoms of allergies can be wheezing, coughing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and anaphalaxia. These symptoms can appear within a few hours up to a few days after exposure. Most people are unaware of the things to which they are sensitive and may have unexplained illnesses associated to undiagnosed or unrecognized allergies. It is important to determine which allergic sensitivities you have.
Nutrition
If you’re like nine out of 10 Americans, you don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, which can really affect your health down the line. That’s a great reason to supplement what you eat. Look to nature to provide direction for wholesome, life-sustaining products. Use supplements that have no ingredients that would cause harm to people or the planet. We use companies who guarantee their product performance through scientific research and clinical testing. Proper nutrition can improve health and vitality of the heart, brain, bone, joint, and immune system to name a few. Find out what supplements are right for you.
Our Treatment
The first thing we do with a patient is to see what might be causing pain or interfering with the nervous system.
If there is irritation to the nervous system we then can utilize 2 very different types of chiropractic treatment; manual adjusting or a computerized adjusting device called the Pro-Adjuster. The way the pro-adjuster works is by introducing a small mechanical force into the body. Then through a system of sensors and software it measures, calculates, and records motion dynamics and visually displays the results. It then softly taps the bone into place; the computer graphs the motion of the bone and automatically stops when the bone has reached the end of its desired movement. The Pro-Adjuster allows me to very specifically and gently move a misaligned bone back into its proper place.
We then can use a computerize device called an Asyra which combines concepts of Homeopathy, Physiology, and Quantum Physics. What it does is pick up energetic abnormalities in the body through acupuncture points, checking for toxins, hormonal imbalances, allergies, and nutritional deficiencies. In Asyra testing, you are energetically connected with the Asyra software as you grasp two metal bars. Thousands of individual frequencies, corresponding to physiologic conditions or toxins, rapidly course through your body. The Asyra will register frequency imbalances corresponding to physiologic abnormalities, and will then suggest therapies, pharmacologic or nutritional, that will "balance" the problems identified. These frequencies can be imprinted into a homeopathic carrier medium, which you will then take as sublingual drops.
