Chiropractic is..

When the word, “Chiropractic” comes to mind, what do you think of?

So many think of the “pop” or “crack”.
Maybe some think of the adjustment. Meaning, they see it as more of a precision tuning, as our care is about being precise with the changes we make to an an individual’s nervous system.
However, we think different than all of these.
When you really understand what we do at Adjust, you will see that Chiropractic is so much more.
We think about all the work that goes into performing the adjustment. Not just the schooling, the studying, the measuring and the time, we think about the passion of what we do.
We hope that if you have ever been under the care of our clinic, you too understand that we are passionate about helping you live the life of your dreams, without limitation. We do this by not taking out job lightly.

This is serious business, because your health is your most important asset.

This is why we have taken the past few weeks to tighten up our delivery of care.
We have just reinvested in even better technology to serve you. After-all, it’s money well spent, because it will help you get the best results possible.
The technology is only helpful if it helps get you results, and so we will be monitoring it, as we do all of our upgrades.
If you are under care, or return to care shortly, during the next couple of months, you will see the scanning reports and graphs look different, this is because the upgrades enhance the depth of knowledge we are able to receive about your nervous system. There will be a different portal to retrieve your results, and the technology in the office will utilize I-pads, so we can be a little more mobile if need.
We look forward to continuing to serve you now more than ever.

How do You Want to EXIT the Stay in Place Order?

Our Intention is for 2020 to be your healthiest year yet.

We do not guess about how healthy you are, we measure it. This year, in fact, we have stepped up our game once again and invested in even better technology to properly assess your nervous system. This system is on it’s way, and we expect it to help us continue to get the results your body deserves.
The reason we don’t go cheap with our technology, is simple:
To get results.

_____________________________________________________

Of course this year has started off rocky..

It has been a stressful start to the year. This exactly why we have stepped up our game:

  • Stress causes increase consumption (food and/or alcohol).
  • This leads to poor sleep.
  • This lowers the immune system.
  • Your ability to adapt to stress is, in a big part, part of your immune system.

So, what can we do?

  • Get real data on how your nervous system is working.
  • Get the problem corrected with an adjustment performed precisely.
  • See the results of this care in your energy, your quality sleep, and the strength and increased ability to adapt to stress.
  • Do what it takes to hold the adjustment:
    • stretch
    • exercise
    • eat well
    • think well

Is Stress the Enemy?

Is Stress the Enemy?

Stress has been vilified for years as the cause of your health problems:

Do you have stress?

Is stress killing you?

Stress, the silent killer.

However, research shows that stress does not kill at all. In fact, stress can be good for you.

So, what then is it that causes us ill-health?

Inability to adapt to stress.

Of course, it would be a great idea to minimize unnecessary stress, however let’s place the blame for our health issues where they are deserved: on your lack of adaptation.

Adaptation happens in the nervous system. In fact, the nervous system houses the control mechanism for these actions of adaptation. Knowing this, It would make sense to keep that as healthy as possible.

 

In Awe of Innate Intelligence

In Awe of Innate Intelligence

I just recently experienced my first fracture. I was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture in my ankle. An avulsion fracture is where the tip of a bone (where ligaments attach) pulls off in an extreme stretch in the area. Left behind is a piece of bone that can sometimes cause issues, depending what happens to it. I was informed that if I treated it properly, it would likely heal on its own. (Of course that is one of the functions of innate intelligence) Healing on its own is usually seen as the bone re-attaching to where it broke off, or re-absorbing into the body.

Isn’t it amazing to see a little glimpse of what the intelligence of the body can do? Of course, I had a job to do as well:

It wasn’t easy, mentally, to do the following for 4 1/2 weeks:

  • Non-wight bearing for 21 days
  • Wear a boot 24 hours a day to keep the ankle at 90 degrees.
  • Ice 20 minutes at a time 5-7 times a day or more.
  • Use a scooter or crutches to get around.
  • Take a nutritional protocol.

However, Innate intelligence had the largest task: To heal. The individual supports the processes. I have no idea how innate intelligence re-absorbs the bone in 4 weeks. Living creatures, like myself, do not need to know how to grow bone, re-absorb bone, or heal the area. Our job is simply to support the healing process in the best way possible. In my case, give it time to heal and follow some pretty simple processes.

 

Mark yourself safe.

Mark yourself safe.

I’ve seen a trend on Facebook in the last year that asks if you are safe. I assume, a way to check on friends that are in affected areas of significant events. It is unfortunate that this has become even a question, especially with the advances our society has made over the past 150 years: travel, electricity, phone, farming methods. The list is exhaustive, and yet we still have to “mark ourselves safe”. However, this isn’t a political blog, so I will get to my point.

I can appreciate knowing how everyone is doing in the event of a true crisis, however maybe we can make a “mark yourself healthy” option on social media.

Thank for a minute a little deeper.

Unhealthy habits negatively affect most Americans today. One way to measure this, for instance, is use of the Heart Rate Variability (HRV):

Research has shown that an increase from low to moderate HRV, decreases mortality by 400%.

Pretty significant, right?

Please do not misunderstand, I am not suggesting that we should not be concerned about terrorists, stabbings on campus or riots on Wall Street. I am suggesting, however, that we concern ourselves more with items we have direct control:  Your health.
