Are You Getting the Full Benefits of Chiropractic Care?

Not many people know the full benefits of chiropractic care. Unfortunately, most people just go to a chiropractor for neck or back pain, sciatica or other types of pain. Then when the symptoms are gone, they stop care. If that is you, you are not receiving the all of the benefits of chiropractic care: getting pressure off your nervous system to allow your body to function at its best and to stay health naturally.

This morning I saw a post on FB by a future chiropractor, Dean Peters. I want to share it with you and the picture he posted below. I hope this helps you get the real idea of what we are doing when you come to the chiropractor:

“Holy 💩! ⚡️

THOUGHT FLASH ⚡️
What do you do when a light goes out in your house…I flipped the switch on and off a few times! Did that work?
❌NOPE! Still didn’t come on”!

What next you ask?
I changed the light bulb 💡in hopes that I’d see the light! Did that work?
❌NOPE!

What next?
So I tried another lightbulb💡! Did that work?
❌NOPE!

Chiropractic care is to correct the cause of the symptoms — Chiropractors correct the cause of the problem.

What next?!
I went to the Master Control Center and discovered it was a simple breaker that had tripped!
I toggled the switch back on and God said, “Let there be light☀️!”

Let me land the plane for you🛬…when your body is suffering from symptoms such as fever, numbness, tingling, coughing, sneezing, hypertension etc….at what point are you going to make the decision to 🛑STOP living in the dark, and go straight to the circuit breaker AKA your Master Control Center 🧠 (YOUR BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM) and discover if the breaker has tripped?!

Quit thinking you need more lightbulbs(AKA-medications that mask symptoms) and get to the root cause of the issue! Go to the doctor that knows how to get to the root cause, not the one that wants to simply suppress symptoms. Medication cannot create health, removing interference within your nervous system does. One life to live in this vessel, treat it well.

This. Is. Chiropractic! Doctors of chiropractic are specifically trained to locate, analyze, and annihilate vertebral subluxations that are preventing you from living at 100%. If there was pressure on your nervous system, how soon would you want to know about it?!”

Are you ready now to experience all the amazing benefits of chiropractic care?

In our society, people wait until they have symptoms, yet the symptoms are the last sign of a problem. These problems have been building over time, many times from the time you are born! They won’t go away over night. To make it more difficult, patients come in thinking one chiropractic visit is going to fix the years of abuse to the spine and nervous system. Then patients stop coming in when the symptoms are gone rather than do maintenance visits.

I bet you bring your car in for maintenance so it doesn’t break down, or have HVAC come in once or twice a year to make sure your heater and AC are working, or most of you surely go to the dentist once or twice a year to make sure your teeth are healthy yet at least your teeth can be replaced. You are born with one spine and nervous system so why not take care of it?

It is your body and your choice to choose how you follow treatment, but why wouldn’t you want the best for your body and health? Why wouldn’t you want the best for your spouse, children, family and friends? Chiropractic is the leading natural healthcare provider in the world. Optimizing your body’s ability to function the way it is meant to.

The nerves innervate different organs and tissues and when compressed can lead to many symptoms — Pressure on nerves affect different organs and tissues which can lead to the symptoms listed

On your first visit in our office, we do a computerized spinal exam that shows each level of the spine and where there is pressure on the nerves. I always use the analogy of the circuit breaker system in your house and how it relates to your nervous system.

Pressure on nerves at any level can affect function and lead to different symptoms. Chiropractors adjust your spine to get pressure off those nerves. It’s that simple 🙂

Share what chiropractic is really about! People need to know it’s not about pain relief. We can change the US health system by getting more people to choose chiropractic over popping medications that just mask symptoms and have a snowballing effect of side effects. We have been educating and helping people in Freehold and neighboring towns of Marlboro, Manalapan, Colts Neck, Jackson, Howell and many other nearby cities for over 15 years.

Easy to do Spinal Hygiene Stretching

I am sure you have heard of dental hygiene: you go to the dentist once or twice a year, brushing your teeth daily, flossing and rinsing. All of this to care for your teeth, to maintain and prevent problems. But what about the rest of your body? Your teeth are really the only thing that can be replaced yet you do more to care for them than anything else. Your spine protects the most important system of your body: your nervous system which controls every organ and function. You are born with one spine that cannot be replaced, so it’s important to practice sound spinal hygiene stretching.

Get up and move with Spinal Hygiene Stretching — Spinal Hygiene Stretching for the whole body

It’s so important to take an active approach to your health. Unfortunately most people are becoming more sedentary, just sitting around on the couch and eating highly processed foods.

It’s time to get up off the couch and stretch!

I hope you are doing the stretching I have discussed in previous blogs and show on my youtube channel. The stretches are not only to help you get better but to help maintain and prevent future problems. It’s like dental hygiene, you don’t stop brushing your teeth and flossing if your teeth feel ok.. you keep doing it for maintenance. Spinal hygiene is one of the most important things to not only keep you feeling well but helps improve your overall health and remember.. your teeth can always be replaced, your spine CANNOT!

Even at the worst times like now with the Coronavirus when you can’t leave your house, there are always home workouts to follow. Many can be found on youtube or there are programs like P90X, Insanity and a list of others. It’s important to stay active and move. It’s more important than ever to keep moving because just sitting around and eating processed foods will compromise your immune system.

I put together another FB live and for those that didn’t see it I want to share the video of a full body spinal hygiene stretching routine to help you get up, loosen tension and stress and get the blood pumping. Take time to watch and actually do them! Once a day is so important:

Get up off the couch and take the time to do these stretches every day! Even better get your family up and do them together. Make spinal hygiene a daily family routine to become a lifestyle habit.

When this is all done and our daily lives are back to normal, it’s important to take this as a wake up call that we have to make our health and bodies a priority. There are so many things we can do to strengthen our immune systems and overall health to give us an advantage. If you missed our last videos, click and watch them too: 8 Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System and 11 Natural Ways to Deal with Stress and Anxiety

I give you all the tools to make your body a well tuned, optimally functioning machine. If you don’t take care of it now, it will break down and cost more down the road.

Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reviews How Stress Affects Your Health and Body

Do you experience stress? Do you know how stress affects your body? Do you know stress comes in multiple forms: physical or trauma, chemical and mental?

Stress is listed by the American Medical Association as the leading basic cause of more than 60% of all illness and disease. It is known to be the cause of many illnesses and symptoms ranging from high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, anxiety, ADD or ADHD, digestive problems like Chron’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and acid reflux, immune deficiency, allergies, headaches, musculoskeletal disorders, fibromyalgia, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, breathing problems and much more.

Stress can also lead to many addictions like smoking and alcohol and even lead to suicide.

Many people reach for different medications to fight many of these conditions and symptoms that result from stress. Unfortunately most don’t realize the drugs are just covering up the symptoms and resulting in other symptoms due to side effects. This is a vicious cycle currently used by most medical doctors in treating their patients.

Chiropractic takes a natural approach at addressing the cause of all of these conditions: STRESS!

The nervous system coordinates all functions of the body and when under stress, the body has a difficult time regulating the organs, tissues and cells of the body. The best method of correcting the problem is addressing the nervous system to bring it back to balance. This is what chiropractic does for you!

Chiropractors work with your nervous system because it is like a circuit breaker system through which the spinal cord and nerves send their messages. Messages from the brain go to all parts of your body via the spinal cord and at every level of your spine between the vertebra, nerves go to their destination either a muscle, organ or other tissue of the body. If the messages from the brain are uninterrupted, the body can handle stress more easily and function optimally to bring you natural health and wellness. But due to the different daily stresses we experience from birth til death, the spinal bones that protect the nervous system can move out of place therefore interfering with the nerve messages and causing dysfunction, disease and symptoms.

Chiropractors detect and correct the misalignments (subluxations) of the spine by adjusting the vertebra to remove the nerve irritation which helps release muscular tension, increase circulation and improve function of the body.

Everybody experiences stress! You have to learn to manage stress including exercise, proper nutrition, do activities you enjoy, meditate, get adequate sleep and most importantly get your spine checked and adjusted by a chiropractor. Don’t wait for symptoms like headaches, digestive problems, daily aches and pains, high blood pressure, weight gain or other issues to show up as the symptoms are the last sign to show up. Prevention and maintenance with chiropractic care helps keep stress at bay and your body functioning optimally to maintain your health and wellness so you can enjoy your family and normal daily activities.

In our Freehold NJ office, Hometown Family Wellness Center, we take a multi-pronged natural approach to reducing your stress and improving your health naturally. Freehold NJ Chiropractor reviews stress with state of the art technology we will measure how your nervous system is functioning, what sensitivities you are experiencing due to stressors, and analyze how your adrenal glands are functioning. Your adrenal glads are also called the stress glands as they regulate the 4 main hormones that help the body deal with stress.
