A Longer Life...

What Can Chiropractic Do For You? (from Dr. Joe Strauss pamphlet) How about... a longer life. Bold statement, huh!

We can only explain it with logic.

We've been told - the better you take care of yourself overall - the better your body functions.

When your body functions better you have the capability or the chance of living longer (and stronger).

One variable, out of many!

.. .. is keeping your spine free of nerve interference (those misalignments I adjust) helps your body stay strong and function better!! Check out my the video... thanks!!

The Chiropractic Pyramid

The Chiropractic Pyramid


The Pyramid represents one of those - success- iceberg posters, where you can only see the top of the iceberg. The highly successful person represents the TOP of the iceberg, What you see!


But, what you don't see, (under the water) is the many years of hard focussed work that to obtain the results you see.

Same Idea w/Chiropractic.

In my opinion, most results (benefits) are imperceptible (invisible) - hence, under the water. Two items that are SO important are at the bottom level of the pyramid - "A Clear connection between the brain and body" and the one above -- 2nd level - reduce nerve tension....... These two benefits IMPROVE the QUALITY of LIFE with NO DOUBT. The visible part above water represents noticeable benefits like pain relief, improved joint neurology, and enhanced range of motion, which are why most people seek adjustments

However, the larger, unseen portion below the water includes imperceptible benefits that significantly impact overall bodily functions. These include - a clearer brain-body connection, reduced spinal cord tension, and increased nerve flow, which enhance organ function and overall life quality. Regular adjustments, ideally weekly, remove subluxations—spinal misalignments caused by daily stress—removing nerve interference nerve to muscles, glands, and organs.

This improves bodily function, which may potentially reduce pain and enhance motion, though outcomes vary by individual factors like age. Many people can and do live long lives without adjustments, but regular consistant adjustments will optimize life quality by ensuring better nerve supply and system functions. I personally gets adjusted twice weekly but recommends at least once a week or at least a few times a month to counter hidden stressors, asserting that consistent care improves life quality in unpredictable but certain ways! -- -- -- -- -- -- Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

I Don't Believe in Chiropractic

("That’s OK, I’d Rather You Understand It") Have you ever heard anyone use this as a reason why they would not want to have a chiropractic evaluation? If so, then I would have to say that you are not alone. I have heard this sentiment numerous times.

When I hear these words spoken, I have to ask myself, "What is it that they don't 'believe' in?" After all, I’m not Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. We work with scientific universal laws and principles that work whether you believe in them or not. Try not believing in gravity and you walk off a 10-story building and see what happens. But whatever it is they don’t believe in, that’s OK as I rather they understand it and make their decisions based on that information.


Do you understand chiropractic?

Well, let's find out. Four simple questions will hopefully show you that you do.

Question 1: Do you understand that your brain and nerve system’s responsibility is to control and coordinate all of your bodily functions? If you do, then you are in agreement with every physiology textbook that has been published.

Question 2: Do you understand that your brain sends out information, in the way of chemicals and electrical brain waves or messages, over the nerve system to control and coordinate every physiological function you perform? Again, if you do then you are in agreement with every textbook ever written on the subject.

Question 3: Can you see that a disruption of the information over the nerve system causes a state of imbalance and threatens your quality of life, potential, and performance in everything you do and are? If so, you are in agreement with anyone who has ever studied the Central Nerve Syste

Question 4: Do you agree that removing any obstruction to nerve function would improve your brain's ability to control and coordinate all of your bodily functions allowing you to have a better chance of achieving your potential in everything you do and are in life? If you do then you agree with all the published research on the topic.

If you answered yes to all those questions you understand chiropractic (and can choose to ‘believe’ in it too, if you want to).

A Chiropractor's goal is to check your spine for vertebral subluxations, which are misaligned spinal bones that are causing interference to the proper function of your nerve system.

Vertebral subluxations occur regularly in everyone due to our body being overwhelmed by the physical, chemical, and emotional stresses that we are all exposed to daily. When vertebral subluxations are found, chiropractors then perform spinal adjustments to allow more normal function and alignment of the bones of your spine, which helps restore your ability to regulate and maintain proper nerve system function. When this occurs, your body has a greater potential to function at its best in everything it does.

Pretty simple, isn't it? When you really understand the concept behind how chiropractic works, then you realize that you do not need to ‘believe' in chiropractic.

We then have to ask bigger questions like… -Do you want to be a parent, spouse, sibling, child, etc. with subluxations and a malfunctioning nerve system, or without vertebral subluxations and a nerve system that will allow you to be better able to access your optimum potential in those roles? Why?

-What about your job, school, or things you do for fun? Would you prefer to do those things subluxated and with nerves interference or unsubluxated and with a better functioning nerve system? Why?

-Lastly, would you want to be unsubluxated with a better functioning nerve system just for a few days or as much as possible for the rest of your life? Why? Obviously, the world would be better if everyone (including YOU) functioned at their best and optimum potential in all aspects of their LIFE.

So then why do so many people use the "I don't believe in chiropractic" excuse? Good question. I can only surmise that people don't understand what chiropractors do so they just default to the "I don't believe" stance.

In the end, this is quite sad because if explained properly they’ll be able to understand chiropractic. If no one tells them the truth they may never experience what chiropractic has to offer because of a misunderstanding. Sadly, too many people will continue to live lesser quality lives due to nerve interference caused by vertebral subluxations and the world will miss out on their potential. It doesn't have to be that way!

If you already know this information, send this article to someone you care about that may not.

If you received this from friend or a loved one, and you were one of the people that thought you didn't believe in chiropractic, you owe it to yourself to have a chiropractic evaluation. It's not hard to do, just pick up the phone and call the office. I'll sit down with you and hear any of your concerns. I'll walk you through the entire process, and then I will discuss things in ways that you can understand them.

At that point you can make an informed decision about whether you receive chiropractic care or not. You owe it to yourself. Your life is too important not to check out chiropractic. Don't delay one more minute. Give me a call.

Two Ways to Grow: Add or Shed?

Video: Hey Doc.. Once I start chiropractic can I ever stop? "There are two ways to grow: by adding or by shedding. Do you need to add something or do you need to shed something?"
Great quote by James Clear (the habit guy)!
-- ------ ------
Staying well, being the best we can be takes effort, time , and some money. It also requires self awareness.

Its up to you to determine what needs to stay and what needs to go. We always think of ADDING to our routines. How about shedding or eliminating what is not good for us or is not working. Shed (eliminate) activities that don't move the needle forward! Add activities that can pay off exponentially.

Adding the habit of consistent spinal checks will improve the quality of your LIFE! I cannot predict exactly in what area, but logic and 'how your body' works confirm it. When you take care of the structure (backbones) that protect the neural highway system (nerve system) of the body... great things can happen!

What Can Chiropractic do for YOU?

Your spine is your lifeline, the communication highway between the BRAIN and the BODY


Your spine - protects the spinal cord and nerves, supports your organ systems and allows for every day movement.

Strength, alignment, flexibility are KEY for everyday life and longevity. There is a DIRECT correlation between how well your spine/backbones function and how YOU function.

Whether that means feeling good, better mobility, etc

. The BODY is wonderfully created!

WE are meant to live with ease and comfort.

However, unfortunately, the body (physical matter) is under daily assault from STRESS which causes misalignments. (subluxations)

Consistent Adjustments help boost NERVE power which helps your entire body WORK better

NERVE POWER HELPS YOUR ENTIRE BODY WORK

BETTER!
It can ... ----> Boost Immunity ----->Increase Flexibility -----> Increase Energy -----> May help you sleep better -----> Help regulate digestion -----> Lower stress levels -----> Balance body chemistry -----> Help you think clearer -----> May help with a better mood -----> Strengthen intrinsic muscles that help with balance and coordination -----> Boost brain power! Chiropractic keeps the nerve system working better, helps you adapt to an environment that is always changing, and builds the INTERNAL resistance of the body Adjustments = LIFE!

Invest in Yourself too!

Investment: the time, energy, or matter spent in the hope of future benefits What is your most important Investment? YOU!
We show up for the people we love and what's important in our life when we are functioning the at our best (physically, mentally).

But what about the kids?

Investing in yourself will only make YOU better for your kids, your partner and any other responsibilities you have... and of course I am not talking about neglecting your family in pursuit of your own gain.
However, we don't think twice about investing in retirement, the car, the house, hobbies, vacations, etc.

You can have (2) two cars, a house, a boat but we only have ONE body -- that cannot be replaced.

Anything that can be done to make the body stronger is an investment in EVERY part of your life.

The strength of your body affects your family, community, church, career, etc. Even just 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference in the quality of your life. Getting checked and adjusted is a powerful long term investment that quietly pays us back BIG! over time.

Chiropractic keeps the nerve system working better, helps you adapt to an environment that is always changing, and builds the INTERNAL resistance of the body Adjustments = LIFE! Dr. Scott #docscottgvl

Five (5) Reason for Weekly Spinal Checks and Adjustments

Five (5 ) reasons why I recommend weekly care. The more consistent we are with anything the bigger the reward! Timpanellichiropractic.com

1. Brain Body Connection The Brain is a HUGE power generator... sending LIFE through the spinal cord protected by those bumps in your back. Keeping the nerve channels as open as possible helps keep the connection CLEAR and allows for a steady flow of this LIFE giving energy and information.

2. Your Body has a HUGE potential to function better on all levels. Every Organ system (cardiovascular, digestive..etc) is directly and indirectly related to your spine! A spine w less interference means better function whether you feel it or not.

3. Less Nerve Tension, less stress Less nerve tension means a - BETTER - flow of information, energy, etc.. And let's not forget that means LESS tension in your muscles, tendons and ligaments!!

4 Better, or improved overall Alignment. With weekly adjustments you simply walk around for longer periods of time with better alignment which may lead to improved posture, range of motion, less pain in general, improved overall well being.

5 Get The EDGE!

You simply get the edge.. meaning staying Subluxation Free (alignment) for longer periods of time allows your Nerve system to do what its suppose to do with less interference.
Let's face it, stress is part of life and MOST stress is NOT felt or seen. Adjustments = LIFE! Dr. Scott

Got Tension? Conisistency = Strength

Tension: Mental or Emotional Strain, a state of being stretched tight.

Got Tension? Who doesn't!

It's part of life..

Here is an analogy. . . think of spinal misalignments( vertebral subluxations) as AREAS of tension in your spine.....

Most of this you will not feel and cannot feel.

These areas of spinal tension are causing interference in the body's nerve system or communication system. Sure, you can live with it, however... the quality of your life will take a hit in some way. The adjustment helps to correct this tension (subluxation). . . allowing YOU to function as best as possible! And remember..

We are always progressing!

Either forward or backward. If I consistently eat fast food and don't move much.. I may progress backward toward (weaker)

If I consistently watch what I eat, move well, rest well. ... I will make progress, even if its not noticeable.(stronger)

It's the same with adjustment.

Consistently keeping the spine clear of nerve interference (Subluxation) and getting adjusted weekly or at least a few times a month =>builds strength in the body! . . . .And strength builds resilience, and resilience keeps us - bouncing back from the challenges we face on a daily basis.

Adjustments = LIFE!

Structure affects Function

Would you play softball with a tennis racket?

Is there a difference between $20 shoes and $200 shoes?

Yes to both!

Because structure affects function! There is a huge difference between $20 shoes and $200 shoes - quality, how comfortable they are, how long they last, etc.... We can find examples everywhere.
It's the same with us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qrwafJKZeY Our bodies are naturally designed for performance and health. Your heart is designed to pump blood ... your lungs are built to inhale oxygen... your stomach is used to hold food and start the digesting process... your shoulders are different then your hips...etc. etc.

And let's not forget the spine! The bones of the back are set up to PROTECT your nerve system. Your nerve system controls and coordinates every single function in the body directly and indirectly. Your ability to digest food, fight infection, make blood cells, make hormones are depended on the nerve system!!

A vertebral subluxation (spinal misalignments) is a change in structure of the spine that affects the function of the nerve system. It causes altered spinal biomechanics, abnormal body function, it drains energy, and causes many other problems.

The only thing left is to determine how long you are willing to tolerate this altered function for yourself, your friends, and loved ones.

The goal of regular chiropractic care is to restore normal alignment and function in the spine allowing you to function at your best.!!

Got Life - Get Adjusted!

(From my colleague Todd Galley, D.C,)

The power/intelligence/wisdom that created your body is the only thing that is able to heal your body (and also happens to be the very thing that keeps you alive!)   
 
We are each blessed with a gift of LIFE: which is an innate ability to continually assimilate and regenerate ourselves.  Messages in the form of mental impulses leave our brain and travel down our spinal cord to all the different parts of our body.   
                                   You And Your Smart Phone
        ** go to timpanellichiropractic.com for more info!


IF the message gets to where it is going, uninterrupted, then our body acts as it should.  This is LIFE.  If, for any reason, the message does not arrive where it should, when it should, or how it should, our body can not act as it should (ie. it experiences a lack of LIFE.)  

One of the primary causes of nerve interference is called a subluxation."  Subluxation is a fancy word for a spinal bone putting pressure on a nerve and interfering with the expression of LIFE.   
Chiropractors adjust subluxations, removing nerve interference, thereby allowing the body to act as it should, and heal as it should, and perform as it should.   
When you don't have 100% nerve flow it is impossible to have 100% function. Without 100% function, you can't have 100% LIFE (since the expression of LIFE is what we are all about as human beings we want to maximize all times, right?)   


The expression of LIFE throughout our bodies is what allows us to heal wounds, assimilate food, build muscle, ride bikes, think clearly, fight infections, laugh at funny things, and EVERYTHING else that keeps us alive and allows us to experience being human.   

In a nutshell: LIFE is good...  this simple concept is WHY we feel ALL people would benefit from having their spines checked for subluxations thus WHY we offer a 'membership' practice- offering everyone (especially kids) the chance to be adjusted regularly for a fee that we KNOW everyone can afford. 
That's LIFE.  It's pretty good.  We'll see you soon.

Where Do You See Yourself in 7 Years?

     I am NOT talking about your career or financial goals.... I'm talking about YOUR BODY.. your physical structure, how you function, how you move, How you feel, etc..

     Did you know that the cells of your body turnover (become new) every seven (7) years or so?? (except nerve and brain cells).

     What does that mean?  You can be a NEW you! Making small changes in DIET, exercise, etc, make a HUGE difference over long periods of time.

     When you get an adjustment.. at that moment - you are CLEAR of nerve interference!!  At that moment your brain is communicating to your body with NO interference.. even only for a moment.  At that moment - miracles CAN happen.  This profession started with a Miracle!
     Adding Chiropractic Care NOW to your weekly routine CAN and WILL make a HUGE difference in your life!!

Can it cost us more "to not" Get adjusted...

*from Jason Meyerson D.C. Get-Adjusted.com

     When someone is choosing to begin, or even continue with chiropractic visits, COST is always part of the equation.  As part of figuring this out, it is helpful to keep in mind that there is ALSO A COST TO NOT receiving chiropractic care. 
     Spinal mis-alignments (Subluxations) interfere with YOUR NERVE system and the NERVE system is used to express LIFE and control and coordinate every activity of the body.  As a result, interference to your NERVE system CAN AFFECT everything, including YOUR WALLET.

     If you have nerve interference it could decrease your energy level. This may cause you to perform sub par at work. Maybe you don't make that sale at the end of the day or your boss passes you up for a raise or promotion, because of your lowered performance.

     Subluxations may decrease your level of health, by reducing the function of the organs and systems of the body. This could include, for example, your immune, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems.
               *Causes of Spinal Misalignments (vertebral subluxation) Part 1

     You may spend more money trying to treat illness, going to medical doctors, on medicine, and taking more days off work.

      Being subluxated may decrease your memory, concentration, and mental capacity. In a classroom setting, these things can lead to poor performance and a grade point average below your capabilities.

     Having a vertebral subluxation may change your reaction time, range of motion, coordination, and recovery time. If you workout or play sports these alterations, in your body, may lead to injury or poor performance. 

     
     Your NERVE system plays a vital role in the proper function of your sex organs. A compromised nervous system could decrease your fertility or function.

     Your ability to handle stress can be lessened by a compromised nervous system. How you are able to handle, react and adapt to each situation that arises depends greatly on a proper functioning nervous system.
                                 *Cause of Vertebral Subluxations Part 2
      The glands and cells of the body depend on a good nerve supply so they can make the chemicals the body needs. A disruption to the messages traveling along the nervous system, to these cells and glands, will result in a chemical imbalance that could affect mood, digestion, metabolism, healing and more.

     Is there a financial cost to weekly lifetime chiropractic care? Yes, but there is also a big payoff and a big savings to living subluxation free.

Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and Chiropractic

Huh?  Psycho what?  No, its real!  According to various studies, how  you think (Psychology), your Nerve System and Immune System are connected!  That's good news!   
   
      We know that mental states such as STRESS influence our health and effect our immune system.  We are more prone to illness and injury when we are stressed out.  I do not need a scientific study to prove that!

     BUT, let's flip our scenario.  What happens when we are happy? 
 
"In 1964, magazine editor Norman Cousins was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a life-threatening autoimmune disease, and given a 1 in 500 chance of recovery. Cousins rejected his doctors' prognosis and embarked on his own program of happiness therapy, including regular doses of Marx Brothers films, and credited it with triggering a dramatic recovery. He later established the Cousins Center, which is dedicated to investigating whether psychological factors really can keep people healthy. "
        
     Research in the 80's and 90's revealed that the Brain is directly wired to the immune system - portions of the nerve system connect with immune related organs such as the thymus gland and bone marrow(where cancer and disease fighting white blood cells are born). 
 
 
            What is Chiropractic?  (Less than 2 minute video) 
 
 
 
 
 
     The mind-body connection is critical for every health and well being and studies are finally proving what we have intuitively know for centuries - everything is connected!  "For as he thinketh in his heart, so he is" Proverbs 23:7 KJV.  Our thoughts, our nerve system and immune system are connected!        
     
      CHIROPRACTIC improves neural function by removing interference at the spinal level.  The nerve system control and coordinates you bodily functions.  All eleven (11) body systems depend upon the mental impulses that leave the brain and travel along nerves innervating ( control) every tissue in the body.  The bones of the spine PROTECT this system.  Spinal health and the IMMUNE system are connected.

Using the Laws of Physics to Build Health...

Newton's First Law of Motion - "A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest" 

Can this help us build power in the body?

When we start something new (that is good for us),for example, taking a yoga class, it can be a slow go. You go a few times, miss a week or two, BUT if you keep at it, a new powerful habit forms and we build momentum. 

The same idea applies to weekly adjustments in the office. The more often you get checked the benefits start to build and gain momentum inside the body. How your spine functions is KEY to longevity and health.  Millions of nerve fibers enter and exit from tiny holes that lie in between your spinal bones.  These nerves coordinate every function in your body.  Keeping the spine FREE of nerve interference is essential to longevity!

The rest of the law states "unless acted upon an outside force"  In what areas are you stuck?  Find an 'outside force' to get you going again! It could be a friend or colleague who motivates you or simply starting a new class.

Author Bill Cates says this well....

Potential vs. Kinetic Energy
"Holding a bowling ball in your hand is potential energy. Rolling the ball down the lane is kinetic energy. Reading this newsletter is potential energy. Acting on the ideas is kinetic energy. I think you get the idea.
Knowledge is NOT power. Ideas DO NOT make you more successful. Acting on knowledge... implementing ideas... is power.
What idea or strategy have you been sitting on that, if you'd just get started, would help you accomplish a goal in life or business? 
 
Sometimes the hardest part to success is getting the strategy started - overcoming the inertia to turn the idea into action and results.
May I suggest that in the coming year - you see yourself as a person of action... as a person who doesn't let inertia set in... as a person who turns ideas into results".

Great advice!   

If you have 5 minutes, check out the video which goes through the many benefits of chiropractic adjustments!

Health and Vitality - Build It!

Very Cool Pic and Analogy!



Health and Life are like a bucket of water.  When the water level is high WE are full of health and vitality.  Unfortunately, there are leaks - stress, disease, toxins, aging, injuries, hereditary factors, etc..

Fortunately, we can do something about this.  We can add health raising activities to the bucket. (Remember, little things matter).  For example -

*Exercise - 5 - 10 minutes a day to start, do something, stretch, breathe, walk - start slow.
*Rest - sleep, naps.. etc.
*Nutrition - spend some time and learn, get a coach, start small
*Attitude - What you focus on the most... can and will dominate our life.. it matters!! Church, Spiritual practices.
*Chiropractic - NERVE FORCE!

Strengthen Your Focus - Get Clear!

What do you want this year?  Do you want to double your income? Lose 20 pounds? Start a business? Better Relationship? Get in shape? Plan a beach vacation?  Whatever it is.. get clear! 
I have read somewhere that "  Life is the study of attention" 
Note to self: What we focus on - grows.  Where we focus our attention  - is what we get. 

If one is clear about getting healthy - then we need to focus on activities that will raise health.  This may require some new habits, subtle shifts in daily routines, some time to read and learn, and it may cost a little money. 

Whatever it is, we need to stay CLEAR and focused, grounded and prepared.
YES, a CLEAR nervous system WILL make a HUGE difference... Check out the video below (JUST 2 minutes) and thanks for reading!

Build Momentum

Starting a new health plan, a wealth plan etc, etc, requires time and patience and maybe a little bit of money.   

You may see little results in the beginning... but little by little you BUILD momentum.  Results start to show and accumulate.   

The same principle applies to consistent chiropractic adjustments!   

Your body functions and heals more efficiently.. with time and repetition you begin to feel clearer and feel better.  The healthier days begin to outnumber the unhealthy days...

Don't Forget About The 90%

85 to 90% of our NERVE SYSTEM we DO NOT FEEL!  Society, TV, etc mostly focus on the 10%. This is a dangerous indicator of health. 

     Keep this in mind.. as you go through your week. Pursue activities that make the body stronger!!  How you feel may not be the best indicator of "how am I doing".

A video classic.  "What is Chiropractic" Short and sweet.. under 2 minutes.
