Here is a very informative website on ingredients that are present in vaccines, and why you should really get to know them.

‘Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests a one size fits all strategy when it comes to vaccinating infants, many doctors agree that unless there is a known risk involved, most of the vaccines are unnecessary. For instance currently, newborns receive Hepatitis B shots as soon as they’re born and before their discharge from the hospital. Hepatitis B is spread through sexual activity, infected needles, sharing razors or toothbrush, contact with an infected person.

Dr. Richard Frye, a neurologist and pediatrician at the Medical University of Texas disagrees and expresses concern about this CDC recommendation; “I’ve never understood why we give this at birth.”  Many pediatricians believe that not all disease is created equal and each infant should only be vaccinated if at risk. “I don’t know any babies who have sex or share needles” Dr. Traver of Foster City said, unless the mother is infected this vaccine is not only useless, but harmful.’

Please educate yourself before you vaccinate your infants.

Chiropractic physicians at Wellness Choice Center incorporate corrective rehabilitation therapy into their practice using a technique that only a handful of chiropractors in Orange County have had post-doctoral studies in.

This is the only technique to have published clinical trials of scientifically proven structural based spinal alignment correction without surgery.

This advanced form of chiropractic goes well beyond the relief of pain by focusing on the restoration and rehabilitation of the spine. The ultimate goal is to return the spine to its normal structural alignment, which in turn will also result in reduced muscular tension, improved muscular balance, inhibition of early degenerative joint disease, and a noticeable improvement in optimal nervous system function and overall performance.

A chemistry lab is listed on the ingredients; if you cant read it, don’t eat it. Dr. Andrew Sigel calls High Fructose Corn syrup an obeso-genic drug or processed agent and warns you about this harmful ingredient. Stay away from it.

San Francisco Chiropractor talks about a New York Times article that explains repetitive stress injuries and forward head syndrome in children from digital media. This study involves over 30,000 teenagers and has shown that TV viewing, computer use and computer gaming (screen time) were consistently associated with back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and recurrent headaches.

This is and should be very alarming to not only health care professionals that specialize in children’s care, but most importantly to parents. Kids these days are spending 53 hours per week on average in front of digital media (TV, games, computers). America is replacing outside exercise and healthy fruits and veggies, with TV dinners and video games. It is unfortunate. A lot of neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches are posture related and with your kids involved in their video games and or watching  TV slouching, it is only the start of a poor posture that can lead to a list of internal organ problems down the road.

Involve your children in outdoor activity, good for their body and brain. Also if you notice that their posture is not optimal (if their head is forward, their shoulders are rounding forward, they slouch, etc) make sure to take them to a specialist who can help them with exercises and other therapies to correct their posture now! It is much more difficult to change habits and correct posture when as they get older.

When a new patient comes into my office, I do a complete Neurological and Orthopedic examination as well as a review of organ systems. I explain to patients that your brain controls everything in your body, every cell, every tissue, every organ. The way it does that is by sending signals of life through the nervous system which sits within the spinal cord and into the various organs.

The nerves that exit the spine in the lower part of the spine will not only innervate your legs and feet and can cause pain, cramping, tingling and numbness in the legs and feet, but an interference with the nervous system at that level can also cause constipation, bladder control issues, incontinence, frequent urination, as well as  sexual dysfunction. Be sure to get your lower back pain checked to avoid any problems in those vital organs.

Most of us spend countless hours each day sitting behind our desks, in front of the computers, or driving to and from work. As a result – gradually and over time – our posture slowly starts conforming to these circumstances.

We begin to find ourselves slouched with our heads in a forward position, and it isn’t until we hear our friends, family, co-workers comment about our posture that we actually start paying attention to it. Some even start experiencing aches and pains here and there, a pinch or shooting pain, and even headaches or tingling in our extremities before we take notice.

A poor posture is a sign of a weak core and often poor health. Your posture is like a double sided mirror, and a window to your health. Your spine has two functions: to hold your body structure upright and to support and protect the nervous system. In other words, your spine holds your nervous system which in turn controls your entire body.

Now imagine your posture being a representative of how your spine and nerves are being stretched. Poor posture will cause an interference with the nervous system and degenerate your health. Some of the symptoms specific to poor postural habits in the neck and upper back area are neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, migraines, allergies, tingling and numbness in your hands, lack of energy or fatigue, insomnia, poor immune system and low metabolism.

Improving your posture is going to take some work especially with the habits of today’s modern living, but in the long run will increase your chances of living a healthier and longer life. If the health of your nervous system is not your priority, you must be warned research has shown that erect posture has also been linked success in the business world and taking off a few years off your real age. So if success or looking younger is your priority, you must improve your posture.

Exercises that are specific to your poor postural habits and your structure can help improve your posture, but unfortunately for some of us, years of poor posture has done too much damage to be fixed purely with exercise.

Hippocrates has said ‘look well to the spine for the cause of disease’ and every day in my practice I see how global and segmental misalignments of the spine, weak muscles, and poor posture will not only cause musculokeletal and spinal pain, but also dis-eased organs.  It’s true that Chiropractors specialize in the spine and can help various spine related conditions, but it’s important to know what controls every single vital organ in your body actually sits inside of your spine. The brain controls everything and the way it does that is by sending energy/signals down the spine through the nervous system like a river to all the organs and cells in the body. Sometimes because of stresses in our lives, the spine will shift out of place and create a weak/poor posture. This can cause dis-ease. I see how chiropractic care is helping patients with migraine headaches, sinusitis, allergies, and much more every day. I just came across a study that proves just that.

This is a 2009 study involving 83 patients with symptoms of digestive pain in the central chest or epigastric area of more than 2 years’ duration and it was published in the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
“Patients were managed conservatively using spinal manipulative therapy and soft tissue techniques. Exercise and other home-based treatment elements were not included in treatment protocols.”

71% of the patients reported an improvement in the average severity of their symptoms.
29% of the patients remained unchanged.
No patients reported any worsening of symptoms.
45% reduced their use of dyspepsia drugs.

Chiropractic Manual Therapy has been the most natural and non-invasive therapy that can restore your body’s natural ability to heal itself. The nervous system is a highly specialized system and an interference with the nervous system can start the dis-ease process. Stop it before it’s too late.

Pain or dis-ease whether it’s in your spine or vital organs can turn into more than what you’re ready for. It can really effect the quality of your life. Most patients who come into my office and complain of back pain (for example) it’s not the mild pain in their back that gets them to do something about it and seek care, but it’s the fact that they can’t play with their kids, or it interferes with their sleep and therefore they lack energy during the day. At times it will even influences their relationships negatively, their time with their kids, their mood when it comes to significant others, and much more.

Of course, it’s important to be and live free of pain, drugs and degenerative diseases, but it is even more important to prevent these aches and pains before it starts to effect the quality of your life. Everyday I help patients with pain, but most importantly everyday I help people achieve their goals of being able to finish that marathon, be able to play with their kids on the weekends, be a better mom, sleep better and have more energy and develop better relationships. This is by far the most rewarding part of my job as a chiropractor.

Get your spine checked today before its too late.
