Woodbury Chiropractic, How to receive a great chiropractic adjustment?  Follow these simple steps:

1. Your chiropractic adjusting time is your healing time; turn your awareness internally to your body and let go of the outside pressures of home, work, and life.

1. Develop a Wellness Chiropractic Lifestyle. We encourage you to participate in the learning experience in our Woodbury Chiropractic practice. This is your opportunity to receive more value with every visit as you interact in a chiropractic wellness discussion. Participation is optional; if you choose not to participate, please be courteous to others by turning off cell phones, talking quietly, and keeping children respectful of others.

1. Neurosurgery without a scalpel. There is incredible power with every chiropractic adjustment. Focus your mind’s eye internally on your energy being released and your life force being restored, thus empowering your chiropractic adjustment. See and feel the nerve impulses and energies being released to your organs, tissues, and every cell in your body. See yourself as a well-orchestrated symphony of trillions of cells beautifully conducted by your nervous system.

1. Allow yourself to heal with chiropractic care. Know that you are completely capable of healing yourself and allow the magic of the life-force inside of you to nurture you.

Rather than automatically leaping up after your chiropractic adjustment, take a few breaths and move purposely. You have the opportunity to live an abundant, vital, and inspired life with optimum performance at every level

Chiropractors in Woodbury.  There is more to subluxations than back pain, neck pain and a pinched nerve. Some of the scariest consequences of subluxations come from the possible global effects on your body. When most chiropractic patients investigate their subluxations they are often concerned about the potential health problems that may arise in the tissues that the specific nerve supplies at the level of their subluxations. For example; if they have a T1 subluxation, the nerve at that level supplies the heart and lung tissue. Their concern, and rightly so, is will this subluxation cause heart or lung problems? The chiropractic research and case studies indicate that this is a possibility but even more importantly subluxations may cause even more serious global health problems in your body.

Global Effects of Subluxations

1. Impaired Immune Function: Arguably one of the most important keys to a long healthy life is a healthy immune system. Research now reveals that your subluxations may seriously impair the function of your immune system. Dr. Pero’s research indicates that one’s immune response and susceptibility to serious disease are negatively affected by subluxations. Another study reveals that the quantity and quality of your white blood cells are negatively affected by subluxations.

2. Decreased Mental Function: Nobody would want their mind to be clouded and not be able to process information and think clearly. A chiropractic study demonstrated that an individual’s mental efficiency may improve 1,500-3,000% after a chiropractic adjustment. In another study, researchers discovered that brain stem function improved following a chiropractic adjustment.

3. Altered Emotional Stability: We usually don’t relate our emotional states to whether we need an adjustment or not, however, our emotions are intimately related to our nervous system function. Studies reveal an amazing connection between altered neurochemistry and emotional states to the subluxation. Many studies reveal that chiropractic care can offer fascinating results for patients with ADD/ADHD, panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety attacks, irritability, and general states of loss of well-being.

4. Damaged Genetic Potential: New research is now indicating that subluxations can alter the genetic expression of your genes. This has devastating consequences to your health and your future as a human being.

5. An Early Unnecessary Demise: In 1994 Dr. Lee authored a lengthy article that postulates that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is involved in all disease processes and explains that the causes and cures of all diseases are mediated by our central nervous system. Everyone must be checked on a routine basis for neurological interference caused by subluxations at a Wellness Chiropractic office if they desire to stay healthy. Another study reveals that subluxations negatively affect the visceral (organ) input centers and output centers in your brain stem. This indicates that almost any subluxation at any level may result in almost any kind of health challenge. Finally, the autopsies performed by Dr. Windsor M.D., correlated that nearly 100% of diseases these people suffered from were related to a curvature in the spine or a spinal problem that damaged the nerve that supplied that specific organ.  Chiropractors in Woodbury.

Chiropractor in Woodbury, the story of chiropractic It was September of 1895 when a magnetic healer named Dr. D.D. Palmer examined a deaf janitor in Davenport, Iowa. Harvey Lillard, a deaf janitor who worked in the building in which D.D. Palmer practiced chiropractic, described to Dr. Palmer that he lost his hearing 17 years previously while exerting himself. Mr. Lillard explained that he felt something give way in his back and immediately became deaf. Dr. Palmer examined Mr. Lillard and located a subluxated vertebra in his spine. Dr. Palmer then purposefully repositioned the vertebrae back into place by a chiropractic adjustment and Mr. Lillard’s hearing was miraculously restored.

Shortly after the Harvey Lillard case, Dr. Palmer had a chiropractic patient with heart trouble that also was resolved when he replaced (chiropractic adjustment) a subluxated vertebrae. In this particular case, he examined the spine and located a subluxated vertebrae pressing on the nerves supplying messages to the heart. Dr. Palmer reasoned that if two diseases, so different as deafness and heart trouble, came from pressure on the nerves, then other diseases may be caused due to a similar cause.

Thus, the science and art of Chiropractic were formed. The dawn of a new era of health care was born, a system to investigate the cause, not the sign or symptom. A system based on a vitalistic approach that allowed our bodies to heal naturally without the use of toxic drugs or surgeries.  We are a top Chiropractor in Woodbury.

Chiropractors Woodbury, as I stated in earlier topics, the reason why I have these discussions is because I truly believe that this information is incredibly powerful when applied towards you and your family’s health and well being.

In the last discussion we talked about how the body heals and that we have to retrace the problem to get back to a healthy state.  Today we are going to discuss what it takes to get the best change and results with Chiropractic Care by the top Chiropractors Woodbury.

Think about this scenario.  A soon to be Bride goes into the dentist office.  She is very beautiful but she has one problem.  Her teeth are really crooked and she also has a big gap between her two front teeth.  She tells the dentist that she is getting married in 1 month and needs her teeth completely straight and the gap gone between her two front teeth.

You already know what the dentist would say.  No way is that going to happen in 1 month.  It takes 2-3 years to straighten out teeth.  She is missing the main three components to healing…Time…Energy….and Repetition.

The reason why it takes all three is because Health and healing is a process… not an event.  Let’s say you broke your wrist falling down.  That is an event that only takes 1-2 seconds during the fall that caused the broken wrist……But it takes a process of time for the wrist to fully heal, usually 3-4 months to be back to 100%.

When it comes to Chiropractic Care by a good chiropractor, it is no different than the two examples above.

Chiropractic takes Time.  The body will only heal so fast and no matter what I do as a chiropractor, we can’t speed that process up.  Chiropractic needs Energy, which means you being committed to your health and making all of your chiropractic appointments that your chiropractor recommends, it’s difficult to give a chiropractic adjust to you through the phone.  And lastly, Chiropractic takes Repetition to continually move the healing process in the right direction and allow the body the time it needs to slowly heal all the muscles and ligaments and nerves around your spine during your chiropractic care.

That is why it is vital to have your friends and family members get a chiropractic checkup.  Catching problems in the early stages requires much less Time, Energy and Repetition to fix them and can help to prevent them from suffering with symptoms for years.

Chiropractor Woodbury, let me ask you a few questions before we discuss chiropractic.

Would you rather be energetic or just less tired?

…Rich or just not Poor?

…Happy or just not Mad?

What about your Health, do you want to be thriving or just surviving?

It might not be you but you would most likely agree that when it comes to Health, most people are surviving and not thriving.  Not at our Chiropractic practice, our patients are thriving.

The World Health Organization stated that the United States had the 37^th best Health in the World.  Yikes….try naming 36^th other countries, I can’t.

TV, Radio and magazines have created much of the problem by advertising Drug Ads that promote an easy solution to …just take a pill.  How effective is it?  Every 30 seconds a drug ad runs on the TV, radio or magazine and over 50% of the drugs consumed in the world are in the US.

I am not against all drugs, I do feel they have their place in emergency care but I’m not a statistician or math wizard but it doesn’t take a genius to recognize that all the drug consumption isn’t helping us thrive towards health but helping people survive.  There is a big disconnect because you and most people would agree that if your medicine cabinet is empty, that means that you are healthy and if it is full then you most likely are sick.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to just survive, I want to thrive and I hope since you are a chiropractic patient getting chiropractic adjustments that you either are a little crazy or you want to thrive in your health also…and for some of you both.

Your lifestyle choices determine your health.  Chiropractor Woodbury, we can’t change the past but we can focus on creating a healthier future with chiropractic care given by a highly qualified chiropractor woodbury.

Woodbury MN Chiropractors, the Best Doctor actually resides inside of you.  People ask me how chiropractic care and chiropractic adjustments work.  To understand chiropractic care or a chiropractic adjustment, you have to understand how the nervous system works.  It runs and regulates every cell in your body and controls all the healing.  Think about it, a cell from your mother and one from your father came together and 9 months later you were born a full functioning human being with no outside help, pretty powerful huh?  This all occurs by the brain sending signals down the spinal cord, out the spine and nerves to every organ, tissue and cell in the body.  Take a look at some amazing facts about your body!

• Your heart beats 70 times per minute…..4,200 times per hour…..100,000+ times per day, pumping 2,000 gallons of blood through your body every day!
• Each second 10,000,000 cells die and are replaced in your body.
• Your liver performs over 500 functions in your body daily.
• A sneeze can exceed the speed of 100mph!!!
• There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.
• It takes about 60 seconds for a human blood cell to make a complete circuit of the body.
• 2.4 Million red blood cells are produced every second of your life!!!

WOW…Let one of the top Woodbury MN Chiropractors ask you a question…

How many of the facts listed above did you have direct control over? If you said none, then you are correct, it all happens from the Doctor within you that constantly works to keep you healthy and functioning.  Really think about it….

When you sleep at night, who tells your heart to beat, lungs to breathe, liver to function, body to replace and rebuild millions of cells every second? If you really think about, during your care here, we are not putting anything into your body or taking anything out.  But many of you have seen your kids with ADHD improve, immune system problems improve, headaches gone, neck pain and back pain gone, digestive problems improve, bedwetting gone.

We are able to get such great results with all types of patients through chiropractic by checking for areas of nerve blockage and helping to remove the pressure so the nerves and the body can heal the way it is designed to heal.  That’s what Chiropractic Care is all about.  Pain relief is only a side benefit!  Woodbury MN Chiropractors give chiropractic adjustments to remove the pressure from the nerves and the body usually can heal itself.

Woodbury MN Chiropractic, I have to be honest, it might not have been the chiropractic adjustment heard around the world but it was heard all over the United States.  It also wasn’t the physical sound of a chiropractic adjustment heard around the     world but the effects of the chiropractic adjustment that was heard around the world.  Let me explain…

Woodbury MN Chiropractic and Chiropractors have been educating patients for decades on the importance of a healthy spine with chiropractic, not because we love spinal bones.  Besides shape and size, the bones of the spine themselves are no different than your arm, leg, finger bones etc…but you don’t hear us discussing those.  The reason we educate the importance of the Spine is because by its design, it houses the spinal cord and nerves and protects them.  This close relationship can also become detrimental to your health if the spine begins to damage the spinal cord and nerves by becoming misaligned.

So our principle for Chiropractic Care is that by maintaining a healthy spine, you will be maintaining a healthy nerve system.  Not everyone agrees with that, especially some in the medical community, so a study was put together by Medical Researchers to determine if Chiropractic Adjustments did indeed improve the function of the nerve system. (although many studies exist before this one was completed that show that chiropractic improves the function of your nerve system.)

They chose high blood pressure as their research to prove or disprove chiropractic.  They took 25 people with high blood pressure and had a chiropractor give them a chiropractic adjustment.  They also took a different 25 people with high blood pressure and they performed a fake chiropractic adjustment on that group.

What they found was that the group that received the real chiropractic adjustments from c chiropractor had an average decrease in blood pressure by 14 points, which is very significant.  The group that got the fake chiropractic adjustment had 0 decrease in blood pressure.

“This procedure has the effect of not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination,” study leader George Bakris, MD, tells WebMD.  “When the statistician brought me the data, I actually didn’t believe it.  It was way too good to be true,” Bakris says. “The statistician said, ‘I don’t even believe it.”

Maybe that is why the health of our community is so pour.   Most people think health and healing only come from drugs or surgery and have little or no faith that the body can heal itself?..?..?

Chiropractic Woodbury MN, although we probably all have had Shake N Bake (if you haven’t, then you are either from a different country or you live under a rock), most of us would agree that it is pretty darn good.   Unfortunately this article is not specifically about the wonders of Shake N Bake.  Although it can be used as a great comparison to the Chiropractic Care we offer here in Chiropractic Woodbury MN.  Let me explain…

Millions of people enjoy Shake N Bake every day because it tastes great and is an easy way to spice up chicken which can tend to be quite bland at times.  Millions of people also love it because it is very quick and efficient to make.  It doesn’t require hours to prep and get ready.  Put the seasoning in the bag, add the chicken, shake and then bake…simple.

Now, Chiropractic Care in Woodbury MN is very similar.  First, millions of people use Chiropractic every day and unlike taking drugs or surgery or getting dental work done, most enjoy going to the Chiropractor.  It helps remove stress from the body and improves our overall feeling and health.

Second, just like Shake N Bake, Chiropractic Care is quick and efficient.  Unlike going to a clinic or hospital and waiting 45 minutes to get into the exam room and then waiting another 20 minutes to be seen by the Doctor, you have no wait time here.  You get in, get the care you need and get back out to your life.  Quick and Efficient.

Sometimes I hear in the public that some people have felt like their chiropractor adjusts them too quickly or they feel like they are just a number being pushed through the door.  I truly hope you don’t feel that way about our care.  I feel that most of those people were not told how chiropractic works…especially at Chiropractic Woodbury MN.

One of the keys to remember is that the time it takes the chiropractor to give a chiropractic adjustment is not the important factor.  It is healing that occurs after the chiropractor gives a chiropractic adjustment when it stimulates the nerves to start functioning and healing which is the most important factor of Chiropractic Care.  You may be different but most people I know would rather get the same healing from a 5 minute adjustment than a 45 minute adjustment. So, the benefit comes from the 2-3 days of healing after the chiropractic adjustment, not the actually time it takes to make a chiropractic adjustment.  Chiropractic Woodbury MN.

Chiropractic in Woodbury MN.  It’s unfortunate, but a large percent of Americans suffer with chronic pain.  It could be headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, upper back pain, lower back pain, hip, knee, ankle, foot, elbow, wrist, hand, finger pain etc…

What do most people do to cover up the pain? You guessed correctly if you said they take a pain killer, either over the counter or prescription.  And how long do they typically have to do this for?  If you guessed everyday and often years at a time then you guessed correctly.  My question to you is WHY?

If PAIN was the problem, wouldn’t taking a medication that targets PAIN fix the problem?

It seems logical if Pain was the problem…BUT the problem is that PAIN is NOT the problem.  Pain is a warning signal telling you that you have a problem.

Your smoke detector going off in your house is not the problem the fire causing it to go off is the problem.  PAIN is only a sensation.  What modern medicine has been able to do is find the receptors that signal pain to your brain and block them for 4-6 hours or however long the drug lasts.  Once the chemical wears off, the pain is noticeable again and you take another…..Repeat every day, every week, every year….this is known as the Pain Game or Chasing Symptoms.  The reason it never goes away is because the CAUSE of the problem was never addressed and you most likely are not under chiropractic in Woodbury MN.

Obviously being a Chiropractor, we don’t give you drugs or do surgery so we are not covering up symptoms or playing the pain game.  We give chiropractic adjustments.  Although we do realize that having pain is not fun and we try to help eliminate pain with our patients with chiropractic adjustments, we are different because we are focusing on the CAUSE and not the effect or symptom.

Most people have pain because something is putting pressure on the nerves, so chiropractors give chiropractic adjustments to the spinal bones and get them off the nerves it is actually starting to correct the cause and not the symptoms.  Chiropractic in Woodbury MN could be an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Being a Chiropractor Woodbury MN, I was recently reading a new book by Wellness Expert, Dr. James Chestnutt.  His book is called “The Wellness & Prevention Paradigm”, I highly recommend it to any of you who are interested in Wellness and Prevention or Chiropractic.

He references that over 80% of our population suffers and will die from Chronic Illnesses.  In my opinion as a chiropractor, that is sad and unacceptable.  He also states that only 20% of your health at the most is due to your genetics aka your “genes”.  He said research is finding that if you are at “Higher Risk” for certain health problems, Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, etc…it is your lifestyle choices that triggers the genes to either turn on or off.  It’s not pre determined.

For example, they have found “genes” that will make a person more prone to a hangover if they drink, but the important question is if that person doesn’t drink, will they express a hangover?  Of course the answer is no, and that is the critical point.  It’s your lifestyle choices that activate genes.

It’s sad that 80% of the population is suffering and dying from Chronic Illnesses but you can positively affect your health by 80% due to your lifestyle choices and chiropractic is a great lifestyle choice.  Ask any genetic expert and they will tell you that the human “genes” have not change over the last 100 years yet Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes has skyrocketed.  Conclusion, it’s not your genetics, it’s your lifestyle.  It might be a tough pill to swallow but it’s the truth and the faster that we accept that truth the faster we can start to not accept Chronic Illness for ourselves and our family.  Ok, back to the title…

Common sense would state that If only dead fish swim with the current, then I want to make sure that I am swimming against the current.  So if 80% of the population is suffering with Chronic Illnesses, I am going to make sure that I don’t do what the mass population does, I am not going to follow what everyone else does unless you want to be in that 80%.  Good news, being a chiropractic patient may help you swim against the current.  We are here to help you get as healthy as possible and swim against the current with chiropractic care as a chiropractor Woodbury MN.
