Natural methods of healing and health produce more good in your life than bad. The inverse is just as true, the more unnatural items in your body leads to unnatural results that harm. Quality of Life is an accumulation of every right and wrong decision of a lifetime, that result is our health.

How Could a Move Program Improve Educational Performance?

Physical movement is a child's first language, and it is through movement that they first start to explore the world and to gain control over their body. It is the foundation in which learning is built upon. If this foundation is rocky or not maintained, it will play a role in their abilities to learn and retain information well.

Heart Attack or Rib Pain?

About 2 times a month we have patients come in the clinic with extremely specific excruciating pain around their rib cage. They mistake this pain for a heart attack which eventually leads them to visit the E.R. . After all the tests come back negative they end up in our practice still in pain needing help. The patient identifies the pain by taking a deep breath or upon inhalation, it persists until the tissue around the rib is mobile again.

Proper Warm Up

We have all been conditioned that proper warm-up is to just go for a run, do something to warm up the "core temp" before any activity. Even as a younger individual before baseball or soccer it was always "understood" we either had to throw at a 30-50 percent effort to warm up the arm or run laps to get the legs warmed up.

Advanced Movement comes after learning the basics

We are a natural healthcare facility that is solely focused on getting you in the best health of your life. We utilize all natural methods to get you well. One of the most powerful healing methods is movement. Health begins at pelvic floor and core stabilization. Moving to advanced movements, lifting heavy weight or pushing your endurance to quickly can lead to a lifetime of injury and dysfunction and ultimately compromised quality of health.

Migraines Suck

Migraines are almost a lifetime sentence of medication which is a horrible prison-like reality to be trapped. Migraines can be biomechanical, metabolic, or a combination of the two. Usually, when an individual has one-sided migraines the problem has a heavy biomechanic dysfunction. When the migraine pattern is on both sides, switches sides, or randomly moves around the head dictates a higher metabolic dysfunction. “Metabolic” means a problem within the organ systems of the body.

Pain-Free Feet = Mobile Feet

Your feet should never hurt. If you have foot pain at any point during your day then there is a problem somewhere in the lower half of your body. If you have pain associated with hip, knee, or ankle pain it's extremely likely that the foot problem is linked and is the same problem. Most Individuals will have an injury that will come and go away multiple times throughout the year.

Why Does Chiropractic Adjustment Work?

First off we were meant to move, our ancestors walked on average of 19,000 steps per day. Our brain is dependent on the reception of 19,000 steps per day. On average the modern human gets 8,000 maybe 10,000 if they are “active”. With this being said the modern human “you & me” are moving significantly less than what our “template of life aka DNA” says we need to each day.

You Do Not Need Arch Supports, You Need Foot Strength

We get this question on a regular basis. Modern feet have been shoved in shoes and become almost inept. We wonder why plantar fasciitis shows up, why foot pain shows up, and many other dysfunctions in the foot and posterior chain. We as a modern society need to understand shoes serve a minimal purpose of fashion and aesthetics. Most shoes are not functional and literally prep you to fall as you age by crowding your toes and dumbing down the neurology of sensation.
