It's been a minute!

Needless to say, life has been getting quite frantic.

I have been knee-deep studying this very in-depth technique called , just the basic certification is well over 100 hours of understanding spinal biomechanics on a different level than I was taught, and I absolutely love it.

After all, it changed my life. Even going through college and getting adjusted everyday by some of the best adjustors I have ever met, I was suffering from arthritis at my L4/5 AND L5/S1. I felt like I was dragging an anchor around all day, like a knife stabbing in my back while I had to bike to College with a 60 pound pack back everyday.

Thanks to this technique, I can now do the things I love at 40 that I couldn't even imagine when I was 30...

What I don't love is how this course is taking away time from my family.
I miss my kiddos, even though I'm just in the room next to them, there's a lot to sacrifice when I'm staring at presentations on my laptop on my days off and my little guy calls for me next door.

Obviously like any parent, I am more a fan of my children than what feels like going to school all over again to better my career.

Yes, this technique changed my life, but I miss those evening with my wife…
I miss teaching my son something new everyday…
I miss showing my daughter how a real man loves her…
I miss drumming when I have time to myself…

I am looking forward to getting back to all that...
As it goes once again, this too shall pass.

It's all about healing!

Did you know healing is compromised with postural distortions that put stress on your spinal cord? Or how about when you injure your spine, does the damage leave the body?

Most patients come in for back pain, but it isn't all about that. It's about the lifestyle and how they've spent it not taking care of their spine and nervous system most of their lives, compromising the body's ability to heal, adapt, and function.

Pain is just a by-product. It's about the patient's story.

If you spent a life never taking care of your spine and nervous system, you will surely suffer back pain, but your entire body will suffer.

The same goes for the teeth, yet dentists have taught us so well to brush every day, not because we are in pain, but to PREVENT decay and disease.

FACT: Your spine decays just the same if you ignore your spinal hygiene.

Get adjusted, take care of your spine, your back will thank you. .

Your spine is designed for LIFE.

Take care of it and it will take care of you...

Did you know that your spine protects that master control system that coordinates and controls every organ, tissue, and cell in the body? It's also the one area that the vast majority of Canadians are desperately missing the mark on.

There is plenty of press on nutrition, exercise, and attitude BUT without a fully functional nervous system, living the fulfilled life you wish to have is not likely going to happen.

Just like a break panel in our home, it's the same for our spine - when it is out of alignment the breakers are flipped and the power is cut off. That is the same power in the body that heals the body...

Did you know that the feeling of pain is actually created in the brain?

It is YOUR BRAIN that decides you should feel pain, even if it thinks there is a potential threat of tissue damage. Even without tissue damage, your brain may still create a feeling of pain.

This shows that pain is created in the brain, which may not always reflect the severity or location of your problem.

Pain is informative when something in the body is not okay. Examples like awkward postures, repetitive strain, or an injury that we may need to protect while it heals. Pain lets us know what NOT to do while we heal, so when we listen to our pain, this can be a good thing.

However, pain can persist in the body, even after healing, and spread to other areas where there is no injury at all. For these people, the pain becomes non-informative or helpful because the pain itself has become the problem.

The Brain has learned to be in pain. This is known as Chronic pain, and it's called Neuroplasticity, or Brain Adaptivity, and focusing on this pain can drive the brain to learn certain behaviors. Obviously, a good thing if you are focusing on learning something, but not so great if you are focusing on your pain, which may actually make it worse, persist, and harder to get rid of.

Of course, it is best to focus on the good things, on the positive, and on what makes us happy.

Science is now learning that Chiropractic Adjustments on your spine and nervous system have a neuroplastic effect on the brain. In particular, the part of the brain called the Prefrontal Cortex is very involved in Chronic Pain. So, adjusting the spine has a drastic effect on the brain's activity of pain signals

Chiropractors may or may not adjust you exactly where the pain is, but rather an area of the spine that is subluxated, or misaligned and not moving properly.

Remember the feeling of pain is created by your brain, not the location of where you are feeling it.

Research has shown that adjusting your spine helps your brain know more accurately what is going on in the body and control it better, improving brain-body communication.

Bottom line, if you're in pain, you should get checked by a Chiropractor

It's never too early to get your kids under Chiropractic care.

A small adjustment now can make a world of difference in a child's life.

Don't forget, the way their spines are developing right now will determine their health for the rest of their lives.

Chiropractic is a lifestyle, and your life will massively change when you realize how important your spine and nervous system are.

If you don't make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.

READ THAT AGAIN ☝

Today, a healthy spine and nervous system today are incredibly underrated. Most people think living a chiropractic lifestyle is just getting cracked when we are in pain and sitting up straight, but it's so much more!

Your brain sends strength and energy through the spinal cord which controls everything in the body, therefore it controls everything that determines the health of your body. (If you haven't caught on by now, I'm talking about your organs!)

Unfortunately, the modern world has become a sluggish zoo where taking care of the spine is not a priority until we are in pain. The absolute worst possible environment for humans to thrive is indoors and in front of the tv or smartphone, where we are losing the battle with one simple stress we take for granted, GRAVITY! Thus allowing our spinal structure to collapse on our organs, aging us much faster physiologically than our actual chronological age.

However, the results from intentionally taking care of your spine and nervous system will tremendously impact your life.

And it doesn't need to be complicated.

Move right, eat right, and think right. Get off your screen and get some sun!

Oh! And go see a Chiropractor because they are the only healthcare professionals who are interested in the relationship between your spine and nervous system.

The #1 best time to get adjusted is the day you were born.
The #2 best time to get adjusted is RIGHT NOW!

Quote of the century!

The spinal cord is the foundation of life and health in the body. Chiropractic is the only healthcare profession that is interested in the balance between the spine and nervous system, which is the life source of the entire body.

So protect it at all costs!

“You never have to recover from a good start.”

That’s why my kids have been adjusted since day 1.

And if you missed day one, the second best time to get adjusted is right now!!
