Align Your Spine Chiropractic

A reference guide to proper footwear, and testing, for effective Unwinding. Your feet and ankles have 25% of all the body's joints. The feet and ankle joints constantly gather the necessary information to relay to the brain about what is happening on the ground you are standing, walking, or running on. Your brain uses that information to keep your body upright in gravity, which is of ultimate importance in human survival. Therefore, anything that blocks that communicatio

You will have a “pillow demo” done with you in the clinic. The following information/instruction is given to you so you can find the right pillow height anytime at home. Here are the major points for the best sleep and to support your structural correction and stabilization: You must have a fully and uniformly supportive bed. This means that every square inch must have the same supportiveness. Only latex foam has this. If you have any questions about this, please let us k

Many experts talk about proper sitting, but most do not use the datum of ‘the root cause of back and neck pain’ - a bone that has shifted forward, which your body cannot correct itself. Everything I suggest comes from understanding this one simple fact. To help you support your spine and joints properly while sitting at your desk, it starts with your chair, then next is the keyboard and computer screen setup. Not the other way around. The Main Thing to Ask Yourself while

Other Sitting Surfaces Car (Driver) Seats Since car seats aren’t designed to support sitting upright, your car’s driver’s seat will need to be worked with to minimize your posture collapsing while driving. I say “minimize” because you are working with a seat design that wasn’t meant for structural health, but instead, a sleek look to the car. And it lets people’s bodies slump into a posture which only supports most compensation patterns. Think of that soft couch that y

What is Endo-Nasal? Endo = Inside, Nasal = Nose When a patient needs this treatment, it becomes a Vital thing for their unwinding. It can be an important and missing piece of a patient’s program. The procedure of Endo-Nasal uses a small balloon to move a bone “inside the face”. This cranial bone, called the SPHENOID, has a direct mechanical relationship with the rest of the what's that body’s structure. This simple and quick procedure is needed on average no more than 3

Remember fiddling with a Rubrick's Cube, and the highs and lows of trying to solve it? You solve one color side and feel proud of yourself and encouraged by your ingenuity. Only to have this feeling dashed when you tried to get two full sides solved. That's because you had to undo parts of the already solved side in order to solve the 2nd or 3rd sides. This is similar to correcting the human structure in what is known as Quantum Unwinding (TM). Quantum refers to the multi

Rib Movement and the Key to Oxygen & Health Do you ever feel like you don’t breathe enough during the day or night? Is it hard to breathe normally - like you used to…or is it NOW hard to catch your breath? This is your body signaling that it is not getting enough oxygen, which it needs to survive. If you’re feeling air hunger now, then it means that this condition has been going on for a while. Oxygen, which is made up of two molecules, enters your body through the lungs,

As unpopular as this next statement is, it must be said: Rubbing muscles, releasing myo-fascial adhesions, various forms of chiropractic WILL NOT Unwind your structure and get rid of Past Compensation patterns that have been layered on your structure like a growing Onion (each onion layer represents a certain amount of twist and tension to the Structure as a whole). At times, they can be helpful, and indeed if you’ve already done some ACTUAL unwinding, they will wor

There are two words which I use in my clinic, "Finally and Fully" healing when referring to the result of properly understood and done, Unwinding. And here's the physical explanation of WHY I am using these words for the work that I do…get ready to be amazed. Your body’s structure is partially self-correctable – some directions that bones go out in have muscles pulling in the opposite direction, others (directions) do not have those existing muscles. Being Upright = Surviv

Precision in anything involves the TWO C’s: 1. Carefulness (in Observation + Action), and 2. Comprehensiveness (knowing and applying all factors involved). #1 above starts with taking care to observe what you are observing. It involves intention to see and understand what is happening. A patient is asked to breathe in and out while standing still. The doctor observes this from the side of the patient. What does the doctor see? Well, the doctor knows that rib cage moves up

With ANY method of doing an ACTIVITY of any kind, the evolution of such is always towards more precision. Let’s take Kung Fu as an example. I had the opportunity to train for a short period with some of the best in the area, and one of the surprising details of learning Kung Fu was the amount of PRECISION necessary. And what that means in a martial art, is FORM. Keeping the FORM in. Not flinching but maintaining FORM no matter what punch is coming your way. The reasoning here

There is an existing concept (informally) in Chiropractic practice which is simply called the "Wow Effect". It is understood to be, "If you 'Wow' your patient on the first treatment, they will continue for more treatments". And continuing with more treatments is a good thing for both patient and the doctor. With a Big manuever done on the patient and a loud crack sound and the patient often exclaiming "Wow!" afterwards, this becomes the standard for a good beginning for b

Picture a Sail on a Sail-boat, catching a gust of wind, and with the sudden whipping sound of fabric being filled out. It now has taken on it's fully filled-out shape as it pulls the boat strongly forward. How does this possibly relate to the Human Rib Cage?! The Rib Cage also collects it's own "wind" from the inside, in the form of increased Hydraulic Pressure. But in this case, it's a way to deal with Spinal Misalignment to hold the body upright (despite the misalignmen

Think of a steel pole stuck in the ground with a wire cage hanging on one side of it. Is that cage going to pull on that pole in it's direction? Yes. Is that cage going to catch a wind gust occasionally and pull on it more? Yes. Now, let's apply this to human body. The pole above is your Spinal Column and the Cage is your Rib Cage. Of course you have a pelvis and legs and ankles and feet, but more on that later - I specifically want to address... The (mechanical) relatio

Definition of Bio-Mechanics= The mechanics of a living thing, specifically referred herein to the human skeletal system with it's muscles, ligaments (bone-to-bone), and tendons (muscle to bone); the movements and actions of these, and how that affects pain conditions. Definition of Bio-Hydraulics= The flow of fluids in the human body; pathological entrapment of these fluids, and how these affect pain and loss of functional movement of the human structure. These fluids includ

Some Chiropractors (depending on their technique/s) are good for getting you out of pain so that you suddenly started feeling, …but can also require many visits in a short period of time to do so. And these will likely not correct the underlying condition that lead to the pain in the first place. Some Chiropractors are good for getting you into a steady improvement over time, and with these, it will take many treatments and some time to get you into a somewhat (questionably

This is the first blog on my website for a reason. It’s so that you can find it and read it quickly. I realize that it was unusual for a Chiropractor to tell you to read a short blog and “...ONLY THEN to call back and schedule”. The reason for the necessity of this website blog is to help you discover what you want in a Chiropractor. Do you want a quick adjustment (and the way that you’re used to getting one)? Or are you actually looking for something different, that might
