Tension Headaches - Here are some basic facts about tension (stress) headaches. They usually affect women more often than men. Generally, you feel them coming on slowly, usually in the middle of the day. You can have daily headaches or they can occur episodically. They are the most common type of headache, affecting from 30% - 80% of all adults. We have found that the main cause of tension headaches can be traced to excess stress within the spinal cord. This spinal cord tension is often triggered by stress, fatigue, depression, certain activities in which you hold your head in the same position for a long time (such as working on a computer), anxiety, PMS or hormonal changes, repressed anger, sleeping in an abnormal position and teeth grinding. Many who experience tension headaches rely on non-prescription medications to reduce the pain. Ironically, overuse of these drugs can actually trigger subsequent episodes of tension headaches! Non-medical approaches may actually prove more beneficial.  Read More

“Smell Something Burning?” A family physician tells his patient “there are 3 stages of pain. The first stage, the pain is bad enough to catch your attention. The second stage it takes hold of you, and at the third stage it finally compels you to do something about it.” The patient asks his doctor, “when it gets to stage three what should I do?” Without a blink, the doctor turns to him and says “take some Motrin” (True and sad story). The worst part is the patient actually thought it was good advice. When he relays the story to his Chiropractor, the Chiropractor responds “if your smoke detector went off in your home, the 1st time it would probably catch your attention, the 2nd time it would most likely take hold of you. But if it went off a 3rd time and you were finally compelled to do something, would you take the batteries out so you wouldn’t have to hear it anymore? “Of course not,” the patient replied “that would be stupid” (The patient got the point). The moral of the story: Symptoms are your body’s attempt to save itself. Masking your symptoms (whether it be pain, nausea, diarrhea or fever) with drugs doesn’t fix the problem, it can actually make the situation worse. It’s smarter to get to the CAUSE of the problem and deal with it the RIGHT way. That’s why they call Chiropractors DC’s  because they are Doctors of finding the Cause!  (via theweeklysticky.com)

“Brown Spots in Your Lawn?” You’re proud of your lawn. You water it, feed it on schedule and try to keep the neighborhood kids off of it. But you missed a few spots with the fertilizer spreader and now dull, brown patches where the grass was STARVED of potential growth energy begin to show. A similar situation can happen inside you. All the cells, organs and tissues that make up your body need an even distribution of neurotrophic (Life sustaining) energy from your Nerve System in order to flourish and grow. If parts of your body are deprived of this energy, likewise you’ll develop dull brown patches (dis-ease) on your internal lawn. Chiropractors refer to it as being ‘Subluxated.’  The goal of Holistic Chiropractic care is 100% coverage of neurotrophic Life energy in your body – and that’s achieved by keeping your Nerve System clear of stress-induced blockages in the spinal cord. If you don’t want to see ugly, brown, weak patches in your health, stay EVEN and consistent with your Holistic Chiropractic care. (via theweeklysticky.com)

Causes of Subluxations The primary purpose of Holistic Chiropractic is to locate and correct Subluxations. If you break the word down you get: SUB = less, LUX = light, and ATION = a condition. It literally means a state of less ‘light’ or energy flow caused when excess stress distorts the circulation of Life energy through the spinal cord. Dr. Jay’s unique Chiropractic Adjustment addresses this spinal cord stress, eases pressure off the entire nerve system and restores the proper flow of Life energy through you. There are many causes of subluxations, which fall into three broad categories. Here are some of the causes our clients have mentioned:  Read More

You walk into your Chiropractor’s office, hop on a table and point to where it hurts. But the Holistic Chiropractor adjusts a totally different part of your spine…not even close to where you feel the pain. Why is that?    There’s an old saying that goes when you step on a dog’s tail, it barks out the other end. In Chiropractic, that means where you hurt (the bark) isn’t necessarily where the problem is (the tail). Many times the symptom you feel in one area is due to  a remote cause. For example, someone with sciatica may feel pain down their leg, but the cause of the problem is a Subluxation (excess stress reflex) in their spinal cord.  Chiropractors know that if you address the cause of the symptom holistically, the body will no longer have need to produce it. That’s why Holistic Chiropractors focus on fixing underlying problems and not superficial effects. Chasing after symptoms is like a dog chasing its own tail – spinning around and around until it gets dizzy, confused and frustrated. It’s much smarter to address the underlying cause from the start.

“Symptomatic Whack-a-Mole” The object of the carnival game Whack-a-Mole is to use a mallet to hit as many critters as possible when they pop up in random succession. Trouble is, as you hit one mole, three more pop up and disappear before you can nail them all. Whack-a-Mole is a perfect metaphor for how people are medicated today. Unfortunately in this game you end up on a ton of drugs, for a bunch of problems, with no actual improvement in your health.   According to a NCHS Data brief by the CDC, over the last 10 years the percentage of Americans who took at least one prescription drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%. The use of two or more drugs increased from 25% to 31%. The use of five or more drugs increased from 6% to 11%. Yet despite taking all these drugs, the US embarrassingly ranks 37th among the world’s industrial countries when it comes to overall health. For Holistic Chiropractors, health is not defined by how many symptoms you can temporarily ‘whack away’ with drugs, but how well your body can adapt to its environment and heal under its own innate abilities. You have more healing intelligence in your little finger than all the doctors and pharmacies in the world put together. Big Pharma doesn’t believe so, but Holistic Chiropractors do. Keep your Nerve System (Spinal Cord) clear and you won’t have to play their failing game. (via theweeklysticky.com)

Pain Relievers Could Be Spiking Your Blood Pressure ScienceDaily (Mar. 20, 2012) — Diseases such as kidney failure and endocrine tumors are among the suspects causing high blood pressure — but could the common pain relievers in your medicine cabinet be the culprit?  Read More Dr. Jay’s Note:  Treating symptoms instead of investigating the true cause of dis-ease is a dangerous road to travel. A holistic lifestyle revolves around improving overall health & function from the inside - not just looking to ‘treat’ symptoms. Be mindful that you almost always have natural options for health enrichment that don’t carry the negative side effects of drugs & literally supercharge the internal healing power within.

Why Getting Grimy As A Child Can Make For A Healthier Life We’ve known for a while that people who grow up on farms are less likely to have ailments related to the immune system than people who grow up in cities. Those include asthma, allergies, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis. Exposure to germs as a kid seems to be helpful, while living in an environment that’s squeaky clean seems to pose risks for some illnesses. Still, nobody knew precisely why. But now some scientists say they think they’ve figured out the details of the “hygiene hypothesis.” They found that microbes in the gut keep a rare part of the immune system reined in. No microbes, and the immune cells go crazy in the lungs and intestines, increasing the risk of asthma and colitis. Add in the microbes, and cells in question, invariant natural killer T cells, retreat.  Read More Dr. Jay’s Note:  In order to get the most out of life, learn to work with nature not against her.

A video of Dr. Wayne Dyer, internationally best-selling author of more than 30 books including The Power of Intention, shares his views on the status of the current health care paradigm and the role of Chiropractic in the shift away from that current health care model.

‘GET REAL’ with Chiropractic… American TV personality and psychologist Dr. Phil doesn’t hold punches when it comes to advising his guests on living a more balanced, principled life. So it should come as no surprise how he feels about Chiropractic. On a recent show with personal Chiropractor and author Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, Dr. Phil touts the benefits he’s experienced from regular care. “I’ve been seeing a Chiropractor a couple times a week for the past 10 years…” And you can bet it wasn’t for a bad back. Dr. Phil knows Chiropractic care goes beyond helping aches and pains. It transforms your entire health and LIFE for the better – exactly what his show is all about.  If you’re frustrated with your current level of health, maybe it’s time to get real with a new paradigm shift. As Dr. Fab says, “we are all born with a natural ability to heal.” Chiropractic care simply brings it out. And if it’s good for Dr. Phil, it could be good for you too! (via theweeklysticky.com) Dr. Jay’s Note:  The 3 types of clients we attract to The Intention Wellness Center: Elevate & Enhance: About half of our clientele are interested in reaching their potential & getting the most out of life - this group averages 1 session with me every 2-3 weeks in order to help achieve that goal.  Maintain & Prevent: Another 40% of our clientele is looking to avoid negative health issues & maintain current good health - this group averages 1 session a month.  Restore & Repair: The remaining 10% tend to call on me only when they have a specific health issue or complaint that they want help with - a handful of visits to our office is typically sufficient for most to accomplish their healing goals.  Elevate, Maintain or Restore - We use our unique holistic approach to achieve your life goals & always leave these 3 choices up to each individual.
