What are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are hyper-irritable knots in the muscles that can cause tension and pain and stiffness within the muscle itself, as well as in other areas of the body. How did I get Trigger Points? Different stresses that we encounter in every day life can cause trigger points. Examples are car accidents, sitting at the computer for hours, sporting injuries, repetitive movements and poor postural positions. Many times, the trigger points we find have been there for years.

Chiropractic care has a positive affect on organ system health problems. A recent study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics showed that chiropractic adjustments affect the Autonomic Nervous System (the part of the nervous system responsible for controlling & coordinating all internal body organs). Each time the spine is aligned correctly, you receive these health benefits. Isn’t it about time your family or friends benefit from it too?

What is the difference between a high grade fish oil supplement and those found in supermarkets & health food stores?

100% Natural oil form (not chemically concentrated; many brands are artificial)
Molecularly distilled removes Mercury and other heavy metals
Infused with Antioxidants
Superior 3rd party testing

Dr. Roger Sperry, the 1981 Nobel Prize winner for Brain Research said, “Movement of the joints of the spine is analogous to a windmill generating electricity to run a power plant. Therefore, the more mechanically distorted a person becomes, the less energy there is for healing, metabolism and thinking.” Simply put, when your spine is even slightly out of alignment, causing the joints not to move properly, the energy within the joints can no longer fire accurately to the brain. The research is becoming clear that this energy is an essential nutrient for your brain.

From the trauma of childbirth to the bumps and falls of childhood, children need spinal check ups. According to the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, spinal cord injuries are more likely to occur in developing children, especially in those under the age of 12 months. Talk to Dr. Dubrul about the best way to protect your child's developing spine and potential problems you should be on the lookout for ensuring your child's health is worth every effort.

Poor posture can lead to a variety of health problems over time. Are you one of the many people suffering from poor posture? Here is an easy way to tell. First, if you look in the mirror and relax, you may notice that one shoulder is higher than another. Second, let your body totally relax and if you notice your head falling forward or a slumping in your shoulders, you have poor posture. If you do, we can help you. When you become a patient in our practice Dr. Dubrul performs a complete posture analysis and recommends a program specifically designed to enable you to achieve your body's correct posture.

Your nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) controls and coordinates everything in your body and mind. When subluxations (nerve interference or damage) impede nerve flow (similar to static on your cell phone) your body is not longer functioning at 100%. Left uncorrected, subluxations have devastating effects upon human health and well-being, leading to breakdown, malfunction and dis-ease. Our goal is to locate subluxations, remove them and their causes to allow your body to heal itself.

Supplementation

One of the most common questions I get is, “What type of vitamins or supplements should I take?” With the standard American diet rich in processed foods, high in unhealthy fats and low in natural foods, the list is endless. However, according to my research, below is a list of the 3 most essential supplements are bodies require for optimal health and function.

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fish oil provides you with two specific omega 3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA. These fatty acids make up over 94% of your brain and make up all of your cell walls. They are also integral in healthy cardiovascular function. In fact, in Europe, omega 3’s are prescribed for anyone who has a heart condition or has had a heart attack. They have also been shown to help relieve chronic joint pain, skin disorders as well as allergies and asthma. Fish oil is the cleanest form of omega 3 fatty acids we can get today due to our toxic environment. In a day where pregnant women are warned not to eat fish because of the levels of mercury and other heavy metal poisons, molecularly distilled fish oils provide a clean supplement which is vital for our health.

We have two brands of Fish oils available. One is in the pill form and the other is in liquid form. It really comes down to a matter of personal preference. You can be assured that both are of the highest quality and are sold directly to healthcare professionals. There is no fishy smell or fishy aftertaste with these high quality fish oils.

KEY FEATURES:

2. Multivitamin

According to an article in a leading medical journal, there is a link between vitamins and the reduced risk of chronic diseases. Research also says that all adults should take a multi, daily. This is true even if you already eat a diet rich in fresh, whole, natural foods, because foods can't supply all the vitamins and minerals you need, at the recommended levels.
