My Super Spine

In 2016 new statistics showed that 43% of children have chronic disease and 1 in 6 children have developmental delays! Chronic diseases are responsible for 7 of 10 deaths each year, and treating people with chronic diseases accounts for 86% of our nation’s health care costs .   Something is not working!   Our current lifestyles are not creating health in adults OR children.   Eating junk food, sitting all day and covering up symptoms with drugs and medications are NOT creating health!   Remember, you create your health with the choices you make.   People don’t just “get sick.”   Each thing you put in your body or do for yourself (or don’t do) leads you down one of two paths – sickness and disease or vibrant health. Most people don’t realize that their spines are something that should be maintained from birth.   Building thriving health involves a healthy nervous system that allows the brain to communicate with all the parts of the b...

A child's heart is about the size of a clenched fist; and adult's heart is about the size of two fists.  Blood is about 78 percent water.  Your heart is connected to approximately 60,000 miles of blood vessels- enough to go around the earth's equator 2 and a half times. Blood takes about 20 seconds to circulate throughout the entire vascular system. It beats at an average rate of 72 times per minute, 1 million times daily. This represents enough pumped blood to fill a bathtub 22 times. By age 70 your heart will have pumped about 71 million gallons of blood. Your brain controls your heart through spinal nerves. It is very important to get adjusted to allow your heart to function at its best! ♥ ♥

Energy and good health go hand in hand. The more good things you do for your body the healthier you will be and the more energy you will have. 1. Eat the right kind of food. A diet of whole, fresh organic food is what you should eat all the time for optimal health and energy, avoid processed food (like chips, muffins, cereal, and sodas) and drink lots of purified water- between meals- 8 to 20 large glasses. 2. Digest your food. It is very important that the food you eat gets digested properly. Chew food thoroughly and don't drink during meals. Eating food according to the principles of food combining helps. Digestive enzymes can be used to aid digestion. 3. Stay active. A body in motion stays in motion. Find something that you like to do and do it often. Exercise generates energy if the body is well nourished. 4. Handle stress. You can't avoid it, so learn to deal with it. Chiropractic help remove stress from the body and mind. Be sure to get adjusted regularly to keep ...

Have you had your neck checked by a chiropractor? A side view x-ray of the neck will show you the condition of your curve. Maybe you have already had one and have been told by the doctor that you have lost your normal curve or have forward head posture. If so, then read on to learn more about how important it is to correct this curve. What is Straightening of the Normal Cervical Lordosis a Big Problem? When you lose the normal neck curve, the weight of the head is no longer balanced by the opposing curve (kyphosis) in the upper back. This causes muscle power to be needed to keep the head upright. For example, in the picture to the right, the head is being held up by the muscles at the back of the neck, leading to overload where those muscles attach to the skull, causing headache pain. This also causes more weight to be transferred to the discs between the vertebrae, which can lead to more wear-and-tear disc degeneration.  How Does Straightening of the Normal Cervical Lordosis...
