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...

Dr. Lou Jacobs – Chiropractor in Bucuresti If you live in Romania you may have searched youtube or google for a chiropractor in Bucuresti.

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....

The Salubrious Dr. Lou In the wake of Johns Hopkins University reporting a study they did on the risk of medical care, people are reevaluating how they prevent illness and injury. They are even going one step further to consider how they should promote health. In the U.S., the third leading cause of death is medical errors. Keep in mind, the 250,000 people a year reported in this study do not include people who would have died because of their condition. These are blatant medical errors. That’s 700 medical error deaths a day or 9.5% of U.S. deaths annually. Operations, prescription drugs, communication errors and a few other big ones are to blame. Medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating disease. Chiropractic focuses on the creation of health. How does chiropractic do this? It does it through optimization of the regulation of your body and making you ready for what life throws at you! Proper brain and nerve control is essential for optimal body function. Whether it is your immune system, digestion, blood pressure or any other bodily function, your brain is the master controller. Your brain controls things through the nerves that come out of the spine. Spinal...
