Welcome to Health News, Notes and Quotes. We have selected the following categories and news items below because I believe they can help educate you about the importance of good health and the benefits of chiropractic.

				Biomechanical Functional Assessment (aka: Chiropractic) Our specialty is the treatment and rehabilitation of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) and the Axillary Skeletal Subluxation (ASS). As part of its multifaceted approach to assisting patients towards an ever increasing experience of wellness, the Chiropractic profession addresses the diagnosis and treatment of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) and other skeletal joint subluxations. The spinal column is designed to function to "house and protect" the delicate spinal cord and its branches of nerves (called nerve roots) that exit between the vertebrae. The intimate relationship that the vertebra have with those delicate nerve branches can cause them to be severely damaged when the spine experiences forces that can "micro-damage" the supporting ligament and/or muscle tissues that normally would not permit abnormal movement of the bony structures of the spine sufficiently enough to cause entrapment of the nerve roots associated with the vertebral joint. Vertebral Subluxation Complex or (VSC) As entrapment of a spinal nerve root occurs the structures of the joint itself begin a series of pathological processes called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex or (VSC). The components of this process are: > Kinesiopathology - Loss of normal joint motion. > Histopathology - Inflammation of the surrounding and supporting tissues. > Myopathology - Major or minor muscle spasm of the joints surrounding musculature. > Neuropathology - Inflammation of adjacent nerve tissue. > Pathophysiology - Eventual deposition of calcium salts into the supporting ligamentous tissue. Peripheral Complications (Symptoms) Attributed to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC): Peripheral Symptoms > Headaches - frontal, occipital, "migraine", "tension", and "cluster" types > Neck pain and stiffness > Upper Back pain and stiffness > Pain, numbness, pins & needles, of the arms, hand, or fingers > Mid back pain and stiffness > Lower back pain and stiffness > Hip pain and stiffness > Groin pain > Buttocks pain > Sacroiliac pain > Sciatic pain, numbness, and pins & needles, of the legs, feet, or toes. > Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) > Bulging or herniating of spinal discs. > Scoliosis Systemic Complications attributed to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC): Systemic Symptoms > Allergies > Dizziness > Arthritis (Osteoarthritis) > Asthma & Emphysema > Hypertension > Cold & Flu > Digestive problems > Ear infections (Otitis media) > Fevers > Immune system dysfunction > Menstrual dysfunction and PMS related symptoms > Fatigue > Muscle spasms > Sinus problems > Stress > Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) > Trigger points Axillary Skeletal Subluxation (ASS) The same principle holds true for the other joints of the skeleton other than the spine. Jaw joints, shoulders, elbows, wrists, finger joints, hips, knees, ankles, and even toe joints can subluxate when adequate force is applied to micro-damage the supporting tissues of the joint. Axial Complications (Symptoms) of the Axial Skeletal Subluxation (ASS): Non-spinal Symptoms > Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TJD) > Shoulder pain and stiffness > Elbow pain and stiffness > Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) > Knee pain and stiffness > Ankle pain and stiffness Request Information about conditions treated.

Top 5 Herbal Formulas for Health and Wellness

Why do the Chinese have a reputation for living long, healthy lives? A long history of using Chinese herbs may play a role. Here are five of the most popular herbal formulas and how they help promote health and wellness in the body. A Basic Formula (Gui Zhi Tang) This was one of the first formulas used to fight off signs of the common cold. It works by pushing pathogens out of the body, primarily through sweating. Digestive Aid (Ping Wei San) This formula works to tonify the stomach and improve digestion and elimination. It is often used when there is stomach upset or bloating, and has been used to help relieve fullness in the chest and abdomen. Liver Support (Xiao Chai Hu Tang) This formula has been used for lingering colds that persist for more than five days with alternating fever and chills. Over the long term, it also has helped improve liver enzymes and general fatigue from chronic illness. Energy Support (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang) This formula helps strengthen weakened and debilitated patients and has been used with various types of prolapses, frequent urination, bleeding problems like anemia, and generalized weakness. PMS and Mental Support (Xiao Yao San) This formula, one of the most popular Chinese formulas used in America, focuses on supporting the mind/body balance. It soothes the mind and promotes blood movement, which also helps relieve pain and cramping.

Chiropractic Care

Time for a Spinal Tuneup

When you care about your car, you take it to the shop for the tuneups it needs – oil changes, tire rotations, new brakes, etc. Your spine is no different. It needs a regular “tuneup” as well, complete with chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic tuneups can serve three purposes: 1. Evaluate the state of your body, even if you have no pain. Even people who feel fine have areas of their spine or extremities that are out of normal alignment. When we adjust those bones back into place, people feel better in some way. If we waited until we felt pain, we would all wait until we needed root canals or crowns before going to the dentist! 2. Address major or minor pains you currently have, but haven’t been too worried about. Have you had any nagging discomforts or pains coming from your spine or extremities? Do these discomforts prevent you from doing the activities you enjoy? Instead of wondering if the pain will continue to get worse or stay that way for the rest of your life, give chiropractic a try. You don’t have to live with pain. 3. Prevent future problems that can and likely will arise from your joints being out of alignment and not functioning at 100 percent. Our society is moving toward preventative health care. Chiropractic has been at the forefront of this concept since the chiropractic profession was founded in 1895. Arthritis, overuse injuries (like carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow), rotator cuff injuries and knee problems are just some examples of conditions that may be prevented with chiropractic care. Scheduling chiropractic tuneups allows you to take care of your body so that your machine functions as well as it possibly can. Please remember to make time to care for yourself; you are worth every penny.
