College Scholarships and Sports – The Winning Edge You’d Never Guess!
Competition For Athletic Scholarships Is At An All Time High. How do you separate your teen athlete from the pack? Athletic scholarships to the best colleges in the U.S. are just as competitive as your child has been for years now. A free ride to a top university is every parent’s dream for their child. They play the sport they love, they study and learn, they have the name recognition of a top school and their future looks extremely bright. All parents would love to provide their children with the opportunity for such skills and success. Chiropractic can help them get there. Yup, you heard that right, chiropractic is for more than back pain. Chiropractic care concerns itself with the physical structure of a person (bones, muscles and joints) and how misalignments and abnormalities in that structure and it’s biomechanics subsequently affect the nervous system in a negative way. By “negative way” in an athlete we’re talking decreased speed, reflexes, strength, tone, precision, control, flexibility, mobility, vertical jumping ability, decreased O2 intake and a host of other negative ways. How does your kid measure up? Sometimes it’s hard to tell where they are...

Choose to be happy. Part of being healthy is choosing to do things that make you healthy and then following through with action steps that are congruent with the health you hope to achieve. Every day that I dedicate to my career as a chiropractor, I do my best to help people become healthier by facilitating better procession and communication within the nervous system of the individual I am working with. I work 2-3 months out of the year in Romania. Like in the U.S., people here choose a hard road or a happy road. You can choose to be happy. In the U.S. as well as in Romania, people often choose to suffer through high summer heat without using an air conditioner. And then they proceed to complain about the heat and how hard life is. Your choice. People don’t want to go to school, so they get a job or several and then complain about how hard life is. How they have to work so much. How they make no money. What did you think was going to happen, and why do you think it’s too late to make a change? Someday, if you...

Growing old is not a choice, how you do it, is. Needless to say we all get old. We all have genetics and we all have lifestyles. The science of epigenetics tells us that the choices we make in our lives will affect how our DNA expresses itself toward health or toward disease. Have you given any thought to how you will do your best to stay out of a wheelchair later in life? What about playing with your grandkids from a bedridden state? How much fun will retirement at the beach be if you can’t use your walker in the sand? What are you doing this weekend to create a better future? Keeping your body mobile, stable, strong and functioning optimally is easier than you think. Just like saving money for retirement, healthy action steps now are making deposits in your healthy longevity account. Chiropractic improves nervous system communication, control and healing. It mobilizes joints and gives you a better sense of stability and awareness in all environments. Your chiropractor should present you with a comprehensive chiropractic optimization plan designed to remove vertebral subluxation and optimize your nerve system. It should be...

Stop Brushing Your Teeth Immediately. Doctor’s Orders. Avoid Back Surgery in Portland, Maine According to wikipedia, the origin of dentistry dates back to 7,000 BC. For decades dentists have been emphasizing the need to brush regularly and floss at least once a day. New evidence shows that this no longer makes sense. We interviewed 100 people regarding brushing and flossing habits. 90% of those interviewed said they brush daily despite having no evidence of cavities or tooth decay. Of this 90% nearly all respondents said that their teeth feel fine but they brush anyway. 65% of people polled said they floss regularly and similar to the people who brush, they have no known cavities and have no dental pain. Dentists have suggested that prevention actually works and that before cavities, gum disease and other problems in the mouth, tooth and gums occur, we should take action. Take action before problems start. This approach no longer makes sense. People are now being told that they should discontinue brushing if their teeth don’t hurt and they have no cavities. The time and expense of regular dental care, when weighed against the known risk and outcome,...
