“Pharmaceutical False Start”

Spike a fever – run for some Tylenol.  Get an ear infection – dash for an antibiotic.  Big Pharma wants us to race for a drug every time a symptom or illness challenges us.  But is it better to let your body run its own race without interference from the drug companies?

Research reported in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology found evidence that elevated body temperature helps immune cells work harder to fight colds and the flu – so much for lowering fevers with Tylenol.  Still yet another study from the journal Pediatrics reports doctors write over 10 million UNNECESSARY prescriptions for antibiotics every year, dangerously raising the risk of antibiotic resistant infections for society as a whole.


Chiropractor's acknowledge that symptoms are your body's attempt to save itself… not the start of a 100 yard dash to CVS.  Current best practice is to wait for natural responses like fever and inflammation to do their job, instead of 'false starting' with drugs and interfering with what nature knows best.  As long as you're in adjustment (clear Nerve System), your body will innately know how to run its own healing race.

Clark Needs a Good Adjustment!

It's a classic holiday movie scene. Clark Griswold stands with bated breath and extension cords in hand as a childlike giddiness overtakes him.  The family drum roll commences, he makes the much anticipated electrical connection and VOILA… nothing happens.
Clark has a power problem.  Although the extension cords are all connected and each individual Christmas light has been inspected with precision, he's still not connected to the source.  It isn't until his wife 'adjusts' an obscure switch in the garage, and turns the main POWER back on that the light show begins.  She'd actually make a good Chiropractor!
If your wiring (nerve system) is connected and your body parts have all been dutifully inspected by the best doctor in the world, you still won't function to your potential if you're not connected 100% to your source… the Life creating power that flows from above, down, inside, out.  Make sure you and your family stay connected to it with regular Chiropractic care during this bustling holiday season.  You glow brighter when your power switch is on.

“Patience: Healing Zone Ahead”

Construction zones are hectic.  Traffic congestion, safety cones guarding hazardous areas and heavy equipment buzzing everywhere.  It’s amazing anything gets done amid the chaos.  But underneath that chaos isorganization:  A team of skilled engineers and contractors carefully working the plan until it reaches completion.  It's similar when you heal under Chiropractic care.

Like a construction zone, organic healing with Chiropractic can appear disorganized and chaotic at times.  You might see an improvement in unrelated aspects of your health before your chief complaints begins to respond.  But like the construction zone, behind the scene is a sophisticatedinnate wisdom inside you, moving the process forward with a mastery beyond comprehension.

Sometimes care feels like 'stop and go traffic.'  But be patient.  Amid the chaos, healing is happening – with precision and patience, the job is getting done.  You’ve got the right plan (Chiropractic Care) and the best engineer (Innate Intelligence) working for you.

“It Starts with a Solid Foundation”


A house built on a strong foundation, lasts.  The same goes for your health. If you want a healthy body for Life, you need to start with a solid foundation of health care that can support it for a long time.

Chiropractic's foundation is its Principle which acknowledges we all posses an intelligent, vitalistic force within us that maintains our existence and keeps our bodies working in perfect order.  When this Power is allowed to express itself 100%, we have health.  When the Power is interfered with, we have Dis-Ease.  Eating properly is important, and so is exercise… but if the Power doesn't flow, your house will crumble.

Health built on a foundation of drug therapy is risky and cannot stand for long.  Health built on a foundation that supports the innate wisdom of the body, can weather any storm.  What foundation is your health standing on?
