Why Chiropractic with Dr. Lou is different. Here are a few of the reasons Portland, Maine is blessed with great healthcare and proximity to Boston if Portland doesn’t have what you need. Among Portland’s fantastic providers are a wealth of chiropractors to choose from. Among the chiropractors of Portland, Dr. Lou is one that stands out as unique among all. Trained and licensed like all the others, competent like all the others, sometimes the training and common knowledge is less important than the person with whom you are entrusting your health. If you want a great adjustment, Dr. Lou can provide you with a great adjustment. Experience adjusting people matters. Tactile sensibility matters. Dr. Lou views chiropractic as an art that is blended with science. FACT: Dr. Lou was the first chiropractor to adjust someone at Palace de Pena in Sintra Portugal. Here’s the video.   Chiropractic with Dr. Lou is different because he specializes in two distinctly groups of people. He specializes in children, perinatal issues in moms and musicians and performing artists. Dr. Lou has the most experience with professional musicians of any chiropractor in Maine and he has the pictures to prove it.   Chiropractic with Dr. Lou...

Dr. Lou’s 2015 Weight Loss Challenge And the winner is…….   It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce the winner of Dr. Lou’s 2015 Weight Loss Challenge! This year’s champion, winning both the greatest percentage of body weight lost and the greatest transformation is…   Rich Bateman of Windham, Maine who lost 42 pounds and lost 16% of his starting body weight. His hard work and commitment over the past 3 months has been inspiring to say the least.  His check ins at the gym at all hours of the day, frequently twice a day, were unmatched.  His focus and unwavering determination while also owning and operating a very busy business, Minuteman Press in South Portland, was equally inspiring to watch. There is no doubt that Rich will continue on his path and reach his goal of being under 200 lbs in the next couple months.  GO RICH!   The following participants also made the top ten in Dr. Lou’s 2015 Weight Loss Challenge:   James Durgin – 12% lost     Peter Dow – 11% lost   Gail Curtis – 11% lost   Ed Oakes – 11% lost   Paula Storey – 10% lost...

Drugged For Normal – The Medical Matrix

Drugged For Normal – The Medical Matrix   Our bodies are designed for perfect function.  Indeed, there are genetic failures of this system due to what many blame as environmental factors, which is certainly a huge part of the problem.  We’ve been conditioned however to view health function as illness.   Inflammation   Vomiting   Diarrhea   Fear & Anxiety   High Blood Pressure   Pain   Insomnia   You see, all of these (and many other) responses to the environment are normal.  A recent article in the New York Times  highlights the state of managing women’s feelings, emotions and normal responses to the world, with medication.  Used to divert thousands of years of genetic and evolutionary programming to protect women, these medications are being prescribed and taken without thought of the implications.   If a woman is sleepless at night and her days are filled with anxiety because her partner is behaving suspiciously, denying that feeling, alters her ability to “trust her instinct”.  If you take painkillers for your injured back and then feel better, allowing you to shovel more, you override your body’s warning signal and often create more damage.   Sometimes things we don’t like are here...

Pain Can Be Deceiving – Portland, Maine | Bucuresti, Romania

Pain Can Be Deceiving Nearly every European patient that I see or have seen have x-ray, MRI, or CT scans. Patients come in with a variety of complaints ranging from foot pain from running to hemi-paralysis from a live polio vaccine at age 1 1/2. I came to an interesting conclusion after my latest trip. Symptoms and underlying problems don’t always match up. People with no pain have major underlying issues on MRI that are just waiting to manifest. Herniated discs, massive osteophytes and degeneration, compressed vertebrae, flattened discs, none of which they were feeling at the time of their checkup. Others came in with tremendous pain and discomfort and their xray, MRI and CT scans showed nothing. Surface EMG (sEMG) and spinal nerve thermography did show tremendous dysfunction in some of those cases.   Bottom line. Pain can be deceiving. It can also be caused my something minor or you can have a major problem with no pain at all. In either case, it’s good to know what is going on in your body and have time to correct things for a healthier, happier future.   Spinal hygiene and maintenance, whether we like it or not, is critical for...
