Your health Your Choice

If you have pain or disease you have two choices 1. Treat the symptom or disease with supplements, drugs, or surgery. • You may get temporary relief but the disease

will progress. (Fire alarm example) 2. Find the cause • restore the bodies ability to heal

Two ways of looking at health

Analysis model • Health based care • Identifies areas

demonstrating loss of proper function.

• Care based on restoring function to the body

• Pro-great long term benefits/no side effects

• Con-poor with certain emergency situations.

Diagnosis model • Pain or disease based care • Identifies areas where

disease is present • Care based on treatment of

disease

Pro- Effective in an emergency situation Con-poor long term benefits/sideffects

Disease Disease is a distortion or destruction of health

or wholeness. • Distortion and destruction are words

describing a loss of function in the body. • When disease has progresses to a serious level

this is the result of improper function of the bodies healing systems.

• Diseases are allowed to progress when treatment is diagnosis based. In fact this is considered acceptable in this approach.

After years of back pain, medications, shots patient was given spinal fusion. He was told pain was age related.

Bracing was not effective treatment for this spinal misalignment, patient was told she needed surgery for spinal misalignment.

Analysis of his spine showed a right sacral shift causing the dysfunction and disease in his spine, not age.

Left sacral shift was the cause of her distortion in her lower spine causing the dysfunction in her body

Correction 78 year old man Analysis showed spinal deterioration due to poor spinal alignment and time.

Correction of spine resulted in restoration of normal function and reduction of spinal curve. Full correction is not possible due to surgical fusion

Correction 3 year old girl Analysis: Spine and digestive problem caused by left sacral shift

Correction of sacrum showed improved spinal alignment and resolution of colon disease

3 Healing Principles of Chiropractic

1. The body is self healing and self regulating.

2. The brain and nervous system control all function and healing in the body.

3. Any interference within the nerve system blocks messages from the brain, thus not allowing the body to heal properly

When your spine is bad your health is bad

Research: Spine problems have strong link to organ disease

The University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry out his experiments on 220 cadavers.

He indicated that this was a 100% correlation between damage or distortion to the spine and diseases of the internal organs, realizing that the connection between the spine and the organ is through the sympathetic nerves.

In other words, there was nearly a 100% correlation between minor curvatures of the spine and diseases of the internal organs.“

all 20 cases of heart disease, •all 13 cases of liver disease, •all 9 cases of stomach disease, •all 26 cases of lung disease, •all 8 cases of prostate and bladder disease, •all 5 cases of gall stones, •all 11 cases of spleen disease, •all 17 cases of kidney disease

Similar studies by other researchers have confirmed Dr. Winsor's conclusion that degenerated and misaligned spines have a high correlation with disease processes.

How we get subluxated •-Emotional Stress=tension

•-Sports

•Chemicals, drugs, chemo

•Yard work-shoveling snow

•-Work related postures

•-Sleeping on their stomachs

•-Auto accidents,(cause whiplash)

•-Postural, repetitive traumas (heavy backpacks, slouching)

Health is all about normal function!

• How do you identify where your body is not functioning properly.

• How do you restore function. • How do you prove it is restored.

Thermography Analysis (Nerve function test, a must when helping nerve problems)

• Measures the nerve systems ability to properly regulate skin temperature • Differences greater than .6 degrees are known to be pathogenic • Looking for a pattern or an area that is not changing due to nerve rigidity a

known precursor to nerve system breakdown and damage • Identifies a problem and the result that spinal care is having on the nerves • Left is a typical scan when a patient has weak nerves in the low spine and

legs, right scan is after spinal care showing nerves are functioning better.

Nerve function scan Nerve Chart Skin/nerve chart

Thermography-early detection, Nerve function

Arm numbness, heart palpations

Left shoulder, upper and low back pain Fibro myalgia Shoulder and

stomach

Proper X-ray analysis is critical

• 24 year old male • Severe neuropathy in both legs, worse on the left. • No doctor ever took or this x-ray as to the possible cause of his pain. • MRI showed left disk bulge. Why left disk & why is the pain on left worse?

Spinal correction is a MUST

• Before x-ray was when he first came to BC after 50 non corrective chiropractic visits from a different chiropractor , 2 neurologists, and 1 pain management doctor.

• This was one corrective adjustment in my office after 15 minutes, patient felt 50% relief. Most people feel some relief in 1 visit.

How do you fix subluxations. Patients First X-ray Patient’s Post film after 3 office visits!

This is a pre/post pelvis on Julietta...she is 12 years old and is heavily involved in cheerleading/gymnastics...she presented with blurriness, neck pain/stiff, headaches, upper

back pain/stiff, coccygeal pain (10/10), reflux, and irritable bowel syndrome (all by 12!!!)...She has been in one MVA, several gymnastics injuries, was a C-section birth, and has had both her tonsils and adenoids removed...I am also including her first 2 scans, after which the post -ray

was taken

Surgical Failure A case study

78 year old man had surgery for neck pain radiating in to his right arm and was worse after surgery, was told nothing more could be done, pre and post x-ray show why corrective chiropractic care helped him get 90% relief even with a failed surgery

Showing x-ray/nerves cervical (neck)

Have the right plan for health "He who fails to plan is planning to fail

Get your spine checked and if needed corrected.
