What’s Wrong With Me vs. What’s Right With Me?

While at any time we may experience pain, injury, or discomfort; we also know that because we are alive we have a powerful life force, an energy, an innate ability in our body to heal, to recover, to grow.

This life energy automatically heals our cuts- without our conscious focus- it digests our food to create and replace cells, it directs our immune system to specifically target threats to our body.

For me, the best part of my job as a chiropractor is that I get to work with this awesome life force that animates all of us. I use my hands to bring more balance and more ease to the spine and nerve system. Why? Because this innate life energy travels along the nerve system. When I help release areas of stress, congestion, and restriction – it helps the body self regulate and be at its best.

So, no matter what is going on with you, and your body, my goal is the same!

Whether you are challenged with headaches or sciatic pain, or whether you feel wonderful and simply want to optimize your health, your athletic performance or prepare to give birth, I’m finding ways to help your body express its full capacity and vitality.

From the Journal of Orthopedic Surgery and Research. May 24th 2023; Vol. 18; No. 1; Article 381

Nine randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with 2,070 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) contributed to the meta-analysis. The follow-up durations were 1 to 63 months.
Due to the adverse events associated with the long term use of OA drugs patients have been seeking alternative and complementary agents for relieving symptoms and improving function.
“Omega-3 polysaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), mainly including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), have been suggested to be effective for patients with OA because of their efficacy for attenuation the systemic inflammatory response and the catabolic environment that accelerates cartilage degradation.”
“Supplementation could significantly relieve the arthritis pain as compared to placebo.”
“Compared to placebo or no additional treatment, supplementation of n-3 PUFA could significantly relieve arthritis pain and improve joint function in patients with OA.”
“The optimal dose, components (ratio of EPA to DHA), and treatment duration of n-3 PUFA supplementation for OA remains to be determined.”
