In our culture we do ONE thing when it comes to PAIN!

We do whatever we can to SHUT THE PAIN OFF!

On the surface that sounds fine, but it is missing something very important.

It is very important to identify the CAUSE of the pain.

Pain is the language of your body. It whispers and when you don't listen, like a small child it talks louder and louder until you listen.

Pain is a sign of imbalance that the body is unable to correct.

Not a week passes when someone comes in with a challenge - headaches, neck pain, back pain, numbness - and when I take a history and explore we can trace the problem back years, sometimes many decades.

Over the years the problem would show up for a few days or a week and then seem to get better.

But, it didn't get better, the pain simply subsided. The problem was still there.

On the surface this might not seem like a problem except that the underlying problem typically causes an imbalance that leads to the development of arthritis.

I just had a new patient in today - 41 yo man - with recurrent neck and shoulder pain over 10 yrs.

X-rays show significant arthritis.

Your body is always talking to you. Learn to listen when it is whispering rather than wait until it is screaming.

What might Headaches, Anxiety, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia have in common?

A lot more than what you might think?

Western medicine would like to separate every condition, give it a Latin name, and then prescribe a different medication for each condition.

The reality is that the body breaks down in predictable ways from predictable causes. We all a different history, a different life experience, and unique situations.

ALL of these conditions have a couple of things in common:

1- Imbalance in the Nervous System causing irritation to the sensory nerves

2- Imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System, mostly an overactive Sympathetic System and under active Vagus Nerve

The Nervous System is the master coordinator and controller.

NOTHING HAPPENS in the body without involvement of the Nervous System.

Bring balance to the body and removing interference to the Nervous System should be the foundation of any health supporting practice.

We live in a culture that has not put much value on taking care of our bodies or paying attention to the signals our body gives us all the time.

We tend to wait until there is a crisis and then go to the MD where we get medication to shut down the messages from the body.

Take a look around you at the average person. Look at most people as they age.

Are they the picture of health? Most are not! If you don't want to be like them or if that is you and you want different then....

YOU MUST DO DIFFERENT!

Health is like a garden. If you tend to it on a regular basis it will give you great yields.

You can ignore your body for years, even decades! But, you will pay the price!

What is the price?

- Unnecessary arthritis
- pain and loss of function
- inflammation
- high blood pressure
- poor sleep

Most people take better care of their vehicle than they do their own body!

The statistics say that over 90% of all illness and disease is stress related. Wow!

How can that be? "Stress" causes an imbalance of the Nervous System creating an overactivity of the "fight or flight" system and a suppression of the Vagus Nerve.

Most people breathe improperly in ways that over activate the "fight or flight" system by....

- mouth breathing
- using upper chest, shoulder, and neck muscles
- breathing too rapidly

Check yourself in the bathroom mirror by looking at what moves when you take a normal but full breath in.

Do you see movement in your upper chest, shoulders, and even the muscles in the front of your neck?

If the answer is yes you are creating and perpetuating an imbalance between the Vagus Nerve and the Sympathetic "fight or flight" system.

The world is so uncertain and there is plenty of pain and suffering wherever you look.

But, if you choose to dwell on what is broken and not working it will take you down.

Scientific studies have been conducted showing a dramatic improvement in all aspects of health and life satisfaction merely by expressing gratitude each and every day for the blessings in your life.

What are you grateful for?

- Physical Health
- Emotional Health

It deals with the interplay between the Vagus Nerve that is responsible for pretty much everything associated with health and well-being:

- healthy heart rate and blood pressure
- deep restorative sleep
- healthy digestion
- healthy immune system
- lowered inflammation

and the Sympathetic "fight or flight" system that when overactive can cause:

- increased pain, tightness, inflammation
- poor digestion
- impaired immune function
- high blood pressure
- poor sleep

When the Vagus Nerve is active you have an experience of ease, relaxation, safety. This is in contrast to the tension, pain, and vigilance of an overactive "fight or flight" system.

Chiropractic is a powerful healing method. But, as with anything that is powerful a lot depends on how you use it.

Most chiropractic is applied like medical doctors prescribe drugs. How is that?

Most chiropractic is used to address the pain someone comes in with!

What's wrong with that?

There is nothing wrong with eliminating pain. But, if that is the only goal the result is often very temporary.

- It doesn't correct the underlying imbalance causing the pain. It is more like an expensive tylenol.

- It allows the imbalances to continue and this is the cause of arthritis over 8 or 10 or 15 years.

- It keeps you coming back because the real cause of the pain is still there.

Don't go to a chiropractor if...

* The treatments are always the same
* The pain relief is only temporary
* The doctor can't offer a plan to correct the problem

How could you be breathing wrong?

It happens 24/7 without your active involvement so how could you be doing it wrong?

Breathing is a unique function of the body! While it happens 24/7 you can easily alter the volume, rhythm, and speed of breathing. You can breathe using your nose or your mouth.

I find many people tend to breathe in ways that over activate the "fight or flight" nervous system and this perpetuates all sorts of problems:

poor sleep
Poor digestion
pain
inflammation
headaches
asthma
anxiety
high blood pressure

Try this! Stand in front of the bathroom mirror and take a normal full breath in. Observe where the movement happens in your body from the waist up.

- belly
- chest
- shoulders
- neck

Any movement in the upper chest, shoulders, and neck is breathing that is activating the "fight or flight" system and increasing tension and pain.
