This article written by a SF chiropractor explains in details the difference between Nonsurgical spinal decompression and traction. Here in our office, we utilize both traction and spinal decompression. First it depends on what is causing your condition, in some cases, patients need both. In corrective care therapy, we use various types of traction to rehabilitate and rebuild the spine into its ideal place.

Spinal decompression on the other hand is used mostly for patients with chronic lower back pain where the nerves and or discs are involved, sciatica, disc herniation and a bulging disc. Most of our patients who are candidates for Spinal Decompression, they have been told they are a surgical candidate and are looking for an alternative way of reducing their pain and getting to the root cause of the problem. Most of these patients will never have to go through surgery!

To find out if you’re a candidate for spinal decompression, call us @ 949-387-1333 for a consultation.

Overdoses of legal drugs (mostly sedative, tranquilizers, and opoids) in the United States led to 65 percent more hospitalizations over the past seven years.  These hospitalizations counted for poisoning and over dose. The percent increase for hospitalizations due to illegal drugs also increased by 33 percent. Here is the original article.

Most people take medication (over the counter or prescription) to avoid aches and pains. Keep in mind that taking drugs will only mask your pain temporarily, you still need to address the root of the problem. For example if you’re suffering from headaches, the cause can be a variety of things: diet, lack of exercise, tension in your neck, stress, dehydration, environmental toxins, etc. Taking a pain killer will not remove the root of the problem. Not to mention the dangerous side effects on your liver as well as your overall health.

Normal Cervical Spine (neck)

Your neck is not only directly attached to your brain (which controls everything) but also holds very important nerves within the spine in that region. These nerves directly communicate with extremely important areas in your brain. A normal Cervical spine (neck) has a 45 degree curve in it, and the nerves sitting inside of the spinal column are relaxed and can freely communicate with the metabolism center, sleep center, and immune system in your brain. Sometimes because of stressed in our lives; physical stress, chemical stress, or emotional stress, the spine kinks out of place. This kinks breaks the flow of nervous system and can cause poor posture, headaches, neck pain, weak immune system, sleeping problems, migraines, and much more. Make sure to get your neck checked, not only if you have neck pain, but also to make sure your nerves are not being pinched or stretched in that area. A good chiropractor would do a full orthopedic and neurological exam, a set of x-rays and a treatment plan that rehabilitates your spine back to a normal curvature. Remember posture is a window to your health! What is your posture like?

Your posture is the window to your health. Have you ever seen a hunched back person with horrible posture who is extremely healthy? Your posture is a presentation of weaknesses or strength in your spine as well as in your nervous system (because your nervous system sits inside of your spine). If you have kinks and weaknesses in your posture that means your organs are not getting enough energy and are on their way to being diseased. Get your posture corrected today! Your health is the most important asset you have and your posture determines how healthy you are.

“We serve 1.5 million meals a week in to 4 million people and we’re making every best effort to generate a change in behavior, to create an awareness in consumers about making healthy choices.” by the chief executive of McDonald’s New Zealand, Mark Hawthorne.

Three of McDonald’s meals (the Fillet-O-Fish, with 18g of fat and 380 calories; Chicken McNuggets, with 29g of fat and 485 calories; and Sweet Chilli Seared Chicken Wrap, with 18.8g of fat and 404 calories) have all been approved to be put on the Weight Wacther’s list.  As part of the deal, McDonald’s will use the Weight Watchers logo on its menu boards and Weight Watchers will promote McDonald’s food to dieters. This deal starts in New Zealand and Australia and the U.S. is on the list of this money making idea.

Let’s think about this, 10 pieces of Chicken McNuggets with almost 500 calories is almost a third of the number of calories an average female should consume in one day (an average woman who is not on a diet).

Let’s be real. This marketing strategy is genius but NOT healthy!  I do believe that we do make our own decisions and should be responsible for making healthy choice. Everyone should educate themselves before making those decisions! Pass on and share every piece of information you find to your family and friends so that they can make healthy choices. I’ve said it before, there’s no substitute for real fruits and vegetables. Replace those high calorie unhealthy foods for yummy and fresh fruits and veggies and experience weight loss and true vitality.

Chiropractors have been treating spinal problems and helping visceral issues in patients who needlessly suffer from a variety of disease. A big part of Chiropractic is education; to give the message of preventative and proactive care of the body. This education does not end with knowledge of the spine, posture, the nervous system and it’s importance in overall health, but also significance of a healthy lifestyle (natural and organic diet, exercise and fitness, increased immunity and much more).  Chiropractic doctors also focus on a preventative approach to health care and eliminate the cause of disease.

Chiropractors embrace and support the growing body of evidence that optimal health is a result of all the things mentioned- a fully functioning nerve system, consuming natural, nutrient rich food, clean pure water, proper exercise, natural sleep and emotional/spiritual well being. See your chiropractor today to have your spine checked and begin to extricate yourself from the disease care system of treating symptoms. Your chiropractor is considered a primary physician.  If you are in Newport Beach area, give us a call and ask about one of our healthy workshops 949-387-1333

Olympic athletes train extremely hard for years to prepare for their competitions and these trainings are a significant demand on their bodies.  In order for them to reach peak performance, stay strong and aligned, increase endurance and prevent injuries, chiropractors have always been their to-go doctors.

In 2004, one of the most comprehensive study came out and was published in the Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery in regards with improving the immune system with Chiropractic Care, and manipulations of the vertebrae in the spine. This study showed between %72-%88 improvement in patients who had asthma and dermatitis (skin rashes) and got Corrective Chiropractic Therapies to their spines. According to this study, chronic spinal nerve compression specifically in the Thoracic Spine (midback region) can negatively effect your immune system.  We often talk about the ‘kinks’ in the spine, these kinks can compress various nerves in the spinal chord and cause a variety of symptoms and diseases.  Chiropractic care has been shown to help increase the immune system and remove these ‘kinks’ in the spine to let the nerve flow easily to those vital organs.

I often see this in practice- patients coming in with allergies, lower immune system resistance and asthma have an increased curve in their thoracic spine (a hunch back posture). This common poor posture can put pressure on the nerve exiting the spine and will cause all the symptoms named. Try Corrective Chiropractic Therapy if you or your loved ones are needlessly suffering.  In Orange County, Wellness Choice Center is one of the very few wellness facilities that offers correction of the spine. Give us a call @ 949.387.1333 to determine whether you qualify for care at our facility.

Dear friends,

Doctors of chiropractic now make up over 60,000 licensed professionals in all fifty states, and care for millions of Americans every year. Almost a quarter of Iowans receive quality chiropractic care every year. As you know, chiropractic care is low-cost, drug-free, noninvasive, and has been shown to have a positive impact on patients’ health. I believe steps should be taken to acknowledge the important care chiropractors provide and knock down unreasonable barriers of access and discriminatory insurance coverage that stand between so many patients and the care they need.

I have a plan to support doctors of chiropractic. First, I support expanding the range of chiropractic services covered by Medicare. Medicare currently provides reimbursement only for chiropractic adjustments, even though doctors of chiropractic are trained and licensed in all fifty states to provide range of other Medicare-covered services. I support reimbursement reform that will reward and reimburse those who deliver high quality care and whose patients achieve good health outcomes, without restrictions against chiropractors or other health care professionals licensed to provide such care.

Second, I recognize that neither the Department of Veterans Affairs nor the Department of Defense has achieved full integration of the services of doctors of chiropractic into their health systems despite direction from Congress. I support careful examination into the policy and practical barriers that restrict access to such services in order to remedy this problem.

Third, I support commissioning doctors of chiropractic as officers in the Uniformed Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service. The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is comprised of approximately 6,000 public health professionals dedicated to delivering the nation’s public health promotion and disease prevention programs and advancing public health science. Given the critical role that doctors of chiropractic serve in each of these functions, I believe that we should commission chiropractors as officers in the uniformed Corps.

Finally, under the universal health care plan I have proposed, Americans will have access to a public insurance plan that will include comprehensive coverage, including all essential health care benefits. Benefits that are evidence based or meet the current accepted standard of care would be eligible for coverage, and as such many, if not all, chiropractic services provided by doctors of chiropractic would be included in the public benefit package.

My health plan also prioritizes preventative care, and chiropractors play a significant role in this effort. As we shift our health care delivery system towards a culture of well and disease prevention, I believe that chiropractors must play an integral role in expanding access to preventative care and strengthening our public health system.

I look forward to discussing these important issues with you over the course of the next several months.

Sincerely

Barack Obama

Your nervous system is the most important organ system in your body. It is also the only organ system that is completely encapsulated by bones, because of how significant it is to our survival. The nervous system sits inside of your spine and forms your posture. If you have poor posture, you have a poor spine, and in turn you have areas in your nervous system that can not communicate with some or all of your vital organs.  Chiropractic has been helping not only neck and back pain but also multiple organ disorders.  The kind of chiropractic care that offers correction of your spine and posture is rare to find. Here in Newport Beach, Wellness Choice Center is the only chiropractic and wellness facility that offers true correction of spine through a comprehensive rehabilitation program.  If you have been going to the chiropractor to rid yourself of aches and pains, or to maintain your posture and health; ask yourself (or your chiropractor) what it is that they’re working towards? and when you can see results on x-ray. To truly change your posture, the spine, and your nervous system you need an extensive program not just a crack! Here at Wellness Choice Center, we are committed to changing lives through our rehabilitation program, and thus we don’t accept every patient that comes into our office. Call us @ 949.387.1333 to see if you qualify.
