Do You Choose Sickness or Health?

Do you choose sickness or health? I want to help educate you on health and wellness so first we’ll discuss health and sickness. Then at the end of this article there are 3 great articles that I recommend everybody should read.

You choose sickness or healthy with almost every thing you consume, put on your skin like lotions or cosmetics, detergents you wash your clothes in, if you get tattoos (many have toxic inks), the list goes on and on. Every thing you consume you are choosing your path to sickness or health. I am not saying to not enjoy life and eat things you enjoy but you have to counter balance things. Some foods are very unhealthy and the more we eat them it causes a spiral downward effect on our health.
There are certain things we can do to help combat the damage these bad choices do. Many of these foods you eat lead to increased inflammation in the body and makes your body more acidic. This all leads to increase risk of disease, cancer, bacteria and viruses. It also causes you to be fatigued, stiff, achy and increased stress. The foods you choose also either help you recover from the pains you are experiencing or slows down your recovery as I work with you.

One thing I recommend all patients do is a full body cellular nutritional cleanse 3 to 4 times per year. It’s something I do myself. I practice what I preach. For those of you who would like to do this, let me know as we have the program in the office.

I want to share with you 3 great articles I just read the last 2 days. We are mislead about health:
1) Some estimates say that close to 70% of all cancer is preventable. Not eating these 14 foods is a good first step. For produce I recommend checking out the dirty dozen and clean 13 for more information about which ones are safer to buy: 10 Cancer Linked Foods You Should Never Put in Your Mouth
2) 45 NJ Towns Have Harmful Pollutants in Drinking water: click here
3) Sadly, because most health “experts” continue to recommend this diet that you could be eating, there are dramatic increases in disease: Scientists Confirm There is ZERO Connection Between Cholesterol and Heart Disease

Please share this information with people you know. We have to make health a priority! It’s your choice: Sickness or Health?

What Is Your Health Worth?

What is your health worth? So many times we hear people say they don’t have the money for care, vitamins, eating healthy but every day those same people are going out buying things that destroy their health or aren’t needed: coffee, cigarettes, soda, candy, processed foods, cosmetics, the newest technology, etc.

People also complain they don’t have the time for their health: exercise, stretching, treatment. Yet most will find time to watch 3 hours of tv per day, spending 2 hours at a beauty parlor or nail salon, etc.

Investing in your health should be a priority. Without your health, it is hard to live a long life and enjoy it all. Getting healthy isn’t a quick fix.

Most patients come into our office because they are in pain. To get better, one has to follow a proper treatment plan. The body also needs optimal nutrition, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and omegas for the tissues to heal. Proper spinal hygiene exercises need to be done to expedite recovery but also prevent future problems. It’s like brushing teeth: you don’t just brush your teeth to get better or until the dentist says your teeth look great, you keep brushing to help prevent teeth from decaying.

I just recently had a person respond to a post on facebook asking about our multi vitamin, then said it was too much money. I created a video discussing this topic:

So, what is your health worth? Is it worth the investment so you can finally feel better, get off the medications, avoid surgery, stay healthy and enjoy life once again? Shorting yourself on nutrition, corrective and preventative chiropractic care, exercise and stretching will slow down your recovery and cause deterioration of health. It’s usually as simple as reallocating money you spend on things that destroy your health into things that make you more healthy!

Heal Better Not Just Feel Better!

Is your health important to you? Do you prefer to heal better or just feel better?

Many people suffer with pain, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid symptoms, etc but just pop pills that mask the symptoms. Others seek chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and Physical Therapy for natural relief. BUT and this is a HUGE BUT, just because you might get pain relief or the symptoms decrease doesn’t mean the problem is fixed. Pain is the last thing to show up when you develop a problem and it’s the first thing to go away. Many times the body just adapts to the pain while the underlying problems still exists and progressively gets worse.

When you take Aspirin, Ibuprofen and NSAID’s you are masking your symptoms with the risks of many side effects including death. Chiropractic and other natural treatments help the body to start getting better but there are other aspects you have to take care of so the body can actually heal, not just feel better.

Recently I wrote an important article I hope you take a couple minutes to read by clicking here: Natural Relief of Pain and Inflammation. We have to take active steps to help the body heal.

I started a program recommended by a colleague who has nutritional formulas to help the body heal from the inside

Heal Better Not Just Feel Better — It’s so important to heal the body, not just relieve symptoms

by providing the body with enzymes, antioxidants, collagen, CBD and pre/probiotics that it needs. After just one week using these formulas I couldn’t believe the difference. I just completed my first month and I know my body doesn’t just feel better but it’s actually finally healing. Dr. Tim has allowed me to share his formulas with you, so if you are interested let me know. Before I ever recommend supplements to patients I always try them myself to see the results. This is the first time in over 10 years I actually found some new ones I want to share with you. I want you to heal better and get the most of our treatment so you feel the best and heal the best. I am enjoying working out and running more without the pains in my joints from years of abuse playing competitive soccer. I am sleeping better at night which also helps the body heal. My shoulder that hurt all the time while adjusting patients is literally pain free for the first time in years. Not that I need to lose weight but I shed 5lbs while utilizing these synergistic health formulas.

Other important steps to help the body heal better include drinking more water, less caffeine, improved nutrition (some of these formulas help with your gut health to improve break down of your food), exercise, better sleep, mental well being and optimizing your nervous system with chiropractic adjustments.

We are halfway through 2019 and I want to help you, your family and friends be a healthier you! Tell me what your health goals are for the rest of the year!

Do Your Kids Suffer with Neck Pain and Migraines?

Do you have kids that suffer with neck pain and migraines? Studies have shown for years that most migraines and other headaches stem from neck problems. Adults have been seeking chiropractic care to address the cause of the

Neck Pain and Migraines get relief naturally with Chiropractic

neck pain and migraines. Chiropractic is also very effective in treating pediatric cases of headaches and pain relief.

A case study of a 12 year old boy with vertigo, neck pain and migraines is just one of many studies showing that chiropractic is beneficial to children. The headaches and pain were so severe the child was missing many days of school. The boy was treated 3 to 4 times per week the first month with chiropractic then gradually decreased treatment to one time per month. The child was also shown home stretching for his neck.

The neck pain and migraines stopped after just one week of treatment. The vertigo relief occurred gradually then eventually stopped also. The boy’s attendance improved by 75% since beginning chiropractic.

Another case study of a girl with neck pain and migraines after an accident showed resolution of symptoms after just 5 visits. She was also able to return to all activities after just 9 visits.

As a Freehold Chiropractor we see many cases too where kids and teenagers are suffering with neck pain and migraines. This past summer we were fortunate enough to help a 17 year old who came in for back pain. The mother was telling us how he also has experienced migraines for as long as can remember. Upon a thorough evaluation it was found multiple areas of his neck were subluxated. These subluxations or misalignments are many times the cause of neck pain and migraines. After just one visit his headaches went away. By addressing the cause of the symptoms, we get results where traditional medicine fails. Medication has its place but too many times they only look at the location of pain. Drugs also only mask the symptoms and don’t fix the cause.

These studies as well as many others show the extreme effectiveness of chiropractic in helping children that suffer with neck pain and migraines. If you have children who are suffering and looking for neck pain relief or migraine relief contact a chiropractor near you.
