Topic of the Month : DON’T MISS THE BOAT

All too often I find myself telling patients, “We have found irreversible degenerative changes in your spine that are causing pressure on to your spinal nerves which maybe causing you to have limited range of motion and pain.” This is something you don’t have to hear. You can do something about it before it occurs. DON’T MISS THE BOAT! Proper spinal maintenance and hygiene should be as much a regular part of your day as brushing your teeth or taking a shower. Your nervous system is the master control system of your body. Interference to your nervous system can interfere with your normal bodily functions and can lead to major problems such as chronic disease. Spinal dysfunctions, SUBLUXATIONS, are the main cause of nervous system interference. Here is what we know:

· Interference in the nervous system is bad.

· Removing interference from the nervous system is good.

Don’t you want your nervous system to be free from interference? Don’t you want to be SUBLUXATION FREE?

As a chiropractor who has advanced training in maternity and pediatric care, I can tell you that impaired nervous system function, poor nutrition and poor spinal and pelvic biomechanics in a pregnant woman will provide a poor growth environment for the fetus and can lead to many problems. Why take the risk? If you are pregnant, get checked for nervous system interference by the only professional trained to do so, a chiropractor certified in treating pregnant women. At Stern Chiropractic, I set up treatment plans designed to enhance proper nervous system function, proper spinal and pelvic biomechanics, exercise and proper nutrition throughout the pregnancy. Don’t these things seem to make sense?.

The next group to address is the children. If your child has not been checked by a chiropractor, odds are that he or she has some interference in his/her nervous system. Why? Stress is the main cause of subluxation, whether it is physical, chemical, mental or emotional, it is just input into your body’s nervous system. If the mom was subluxated during pregnancy than the growth environment for the child was less than optimal. Also the child was 7+ pounds having to squish through a tiny birth canal. Then, like many kids, the child was dropped (they always land on their head because it is the heaviest part) during their first year of life. Add in the stress of growing, lifting their head, sitting up, learning to walk (and falling on their bottoms), falling off their bikes and the playground equipment, poor nutrition, stress at school … DON’T MISS THE BOAT! Get your child checked and treated! The research demonstrates that permanent changes start to occur inside the joint within 2 weeks of lack of motion of a joint (subluxation). Enhance your child’s health today and for the rest of his/her life.

Now the rest of you, the adults. DON’T MISS THE BOAT! It is never too late to enhance your health by improving your nervous system health. If you are not being checked for subluxation regularly, it is very likely that there is some degree of degenerative process taking place in your spine causing interference in your nervous system. You don’t want to hear “We have found irreversible degenerative changes in your spine that are causing you to have limited range of motion and pain.” You may not have the symptoms yet and you don’t want to wait until you do. The earlier you start proper spinal care/hygiene, the better off your spine and nervous system will be. If degeneration already exists, proper spinal maintenance can slow down its progression. If there is no degeneration yet, proper care can help you reduce the likelihood of it occurring.

DON’T MISS THE BOAT! Do something for your children and yourself today. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY CHECKED FOR SUBLUXATION.

Products of the Month : The Subluxation Station

Stern Chiropractic is now on the cutting edge of computerized measurement of nervous system interference. Don’t rely on pain to tell you there is a problem (by that time there is severe nervous system interference). The subluxation station measures and quantifies the interference in your nervous system. This is then graphed and displayed in an easily understandable format for you to see. This high-tech system monitors your progress towards optimal nervous system health and can be used on people of all ages from infants through seniors.

DON’T LET HIDDEN NERVOUS SYSTEM INTERFERENCE ROB YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OF OPTIMAL HEALTH.
