Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?   Despite recent reports the verdict still seems to be out on this issue. With high exposure do rats get tumors when exposed to cell phones? Yes. Does this mean humans will? No. But the world is not this cut and dry. While the question about cell phone safety is good, it’s not the best question. Understanding that there is value in knowing the dangers of cell phone exposure in a lab, it’s much more complicated than that. People will us the “we aren’t the same as rats and we don’t expose our brains to 9 hours of cell phone use a day.” Like with most misunderstandings by civilians about how the body works, thinking about the big picture is often lost. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with immeasurable physical, chemical and mental stress. We don’t live in a world where the only stress on our brain from cell phones. Whether it’s chemicals in medications, radiation or some form of electromagnetic energy that crosses our blood brain barrier or skeletal protection, it may all be adding up. The cumulative effect and how they interact with one another is what is ultimately most important and telling....

Chiropractic and Martial Arts – A Portland, Maine Perspective

The Salubrious Dr. Lou Martial Arts & Chiropractic   Martial Arts & Chiropractic go hand in hand. Here’s why.   All martial arts are physically and mentally demanding. Focus, speed, flexibility, control, spacial awareness, reflexes, muscle memory, physical resilience and a host of other qualities come in to play. These often simultaneously demanding requirements are all controlled by the brain. The brain is your master controller, the hard drive and server of your human computer network. Control and communication to all cells of the body must be optimally functional for you to get the most out of your body. This is true whether you are practicing MMA, Ju Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Jukado, Karate or Aikido.   Because of the physical and mental demands and even physical abuse you put your body through to learn a martial art, things get thrown out of whack. When your body gets jarred around, subluxation of the spine often results. Subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that leads to nerve irritation and results in decreased nerve communication. This interference decreases function in the areas that the nerves control. If those areas happen to be your feet, legs, neck, hips, stomach, adrenal glands or other...

Chiropractor in Bucuresti – Dr. Lou Jacobs – (+40)21 222 13 70

Dr. Lou Jacobs – Chiropractor in Bucuresti   If you live in Romania you may have searched youtube or google for a chiropractor in Bucuresti. Up until recently, you would have been disappointed by the results. Instead of watching local videos or reading articles by a chiropractor in Bucuresti, you were probably redirected to a chiropractor in NYC or California or Portland, Maine. While there are many great chiropractors in the U.S., Romania and much of Eastern Europe is lacking legitimate representation within the chiropractic profession. There are no doctors.   Romania has two Chiropractors who have been trained in chiropractic universities abroad. There are no chiropractic programs or schools in Romania. Beware of the “chiropractor” who did not train at a legitimate university. Of the two chiropractors in Romania, only one is a chiropractor in Bucuresti.   American chiropractor, Dr. Lou Jacobs, is the only chiropractor in Bucuresti. Because of the high demand for chiropractic in Romania given the lack of chiropractors, Dr. Lou visits Romania for work 3 months out of the year and maintains an office in the U.S. as well. Dr. Lou’s schedule in 2016 includes office hours between May 16 and June 15 at...

What is a Primary Chiropractic Provider?   A primary chiropractic provider (PCP) is the doctor of chiropractic that you have chosen to create a longstanding relationship with. This is the chiropractor is the one who you see regularly or one that you have waiting on the sideline for when you need them the most.   Does a primary chiropractic provider do anything other than chiropractic? Primary Chiropractic Providers are not medical doctor PCP’s. They only perform services that are within their scope of practice as a chiropractor and are not to be confused with a primary care physician.    How do you find a PCP? You interview them. If you like them, make sure that you state your expectations from the beginning. Tell them what you want and what you hope to achieve. Explain your goals, your history and your expectations not only regarding care, but also of the chiropractor. This type of up front communication leads to the chiropractor being able to create a salubrious plan for you that will fit your lifestyle and goals.   In our office we have people of all types. Some come only for pain relief, others come regardless of how they feel....
