Backpack Safety?
Backpack safety is not about making sure your child's backpack fits properly to prevent neck or back pain.
The moment your child leaves your site their going to unstrap and sling that backpack every which way but lose.
I know because we have 5 children and they never listened to us about wearing it properly and they did just fine. They also benefited from regular chiropractic checkups to make sure they had a healthy spine and nervous system to adapt to the physical, chemical and emotional stress of everyday life.
We were more concerned about the torque and tension the heavy backpack placed on our child's brain-stem and spinal cord versus the muscles of their back and neck because we knew that an uncorrected problem over time could alter body function.
What's alarming is that parents may not realize that their child may already have an underlying spinal problem before the child started carrying a backpack.
We don't ask the parents in our office to bring in their child's backpack so we may fit it properly. We ask the parent to bring in their child to make sure their body is working properly and able to adapt to all the stresses they put upon it everyday.
It's not about the backpack its about their life. Please get your child checked.

The Man in the White Coat
I spend my day living my life with my husband sharing our passion for health. We wake up every morning and thank God for a bright day that is ahead of us. Why can't that be the norm for all. Instead, I go to the store and see men, women, and families in line waiting to get the latest and greatest drug for the most common illness, or better yet, I hear stories of how individuals are tired of being sick all the time.
Health comes from within. Our bodies are the most intelligent system out there but we continue to close our eyes to this when we are in dis-ease. We do not have think to blink, breathe, move our extremities, or the like - it just happens. Why can't we just believe our bodies can do amazing things like heal. To this day, it surprises me to think that individuals will understand all of this as we are sharing our passion of health with them, but as soon as a little sniffle comes, they run to the "man in the white coat" and believe everything he says - even if it is not his specialty. I sometimes believe that if they were told to jump off a building because it was the latest cure, they would.
The body is one entity. Everything works as one - that is the nervous system. The first part of our being to be developed is the brain and the nervous system. This nervous system is so important that it is protected by bone (the spine). This spine develops with bends to give it buoyancy to adapted to our everyday living. There are millions of nerves that run through the spine that effect every part of our body (cells, organs, muscle - everything). When we feel dis-ease, normally there is some type of interference or pinch. The only, and I stress, ONLY doctor that can correct this is a chiropractor - not a message therapist, not a general practitioner, and not a orthopedist.
If you twist a garden hose while the water is on, it will either slow to a trickle or stop completely. What do you think your nerves do when you pinch them. Pinched nerves show up as asthma, headaches, ear infections, numbness, gallbladder issues, ulcers, constipation. A specific bone or two has to be properly adjusted to take the pressure off of the nerve and have that nerve flow working or moving at full speed. Taking drugs, injecting our bodies, or permanently fusing bones together will not work. You hear constantly that duplication is powerful. Well, folks, it is. If your body is producing healthy cells your body will duplicate healthy cells. On the same idea, if your body is producing unhealthy or bad cells, what do you think it is going to duplicate? Unhealthy or bad cells equal disease.
Patient: "Doctor, I have chronic headaches. What can I do to get rid of them permanently?"
Doctor: "Mrs. Bubble, I have the latest scientific cure for you. Go to the roof of this building, walk to the edge, and then jump off. When you land, for a small instance you may experience a small side effect,but your headaches will be permanently gone."

STRESS - IT CAN BRING YOU DOWN!
I've been under chiropractic care for over 23 years now, and yes, I still have symptoms like others. I wanted to share this in order for folks to understand STRESS can be damaging and we do not even realize it until it is too late.
Up until Friday evening, everything was going great. At the midnight hour is when emotionally I was at rock bottom which in turn caused me to be physically at rock bottom. My body just decided it could not handle the stress that was put on me emotionally and decided to shut down physically. I was experiencing aches, pains, dizziness, tiredness, headaches, chills and fever. I knew I could not let this get the best of me - I was not sick, just worn out. If you didn't know, stress comes in three forms: emotional, physical, and chemical. I decided, with the help of my Chiropractor, to increase my visits by getting my Nervous System checked daily to make sure my body was working at its strongest. Stress is hard to overcome but with my Nervous System working at its fullest potential I am now SUBLUXATION free.
I once read this statement, "Think about it, what happens when you plug ten appliances into one outlet and turn them all on at the same time? You blow a circuit! The same things can happen when you surge an unprotected Nervous System with STRESS"! This is so true. Today we put more on our plate than our bodies can handle.
Picture your Nervous System as an electrical outlet with multiple stresses plugged in. Turn them all on at the same time and POW - you overload the system, fry a circuit and ruin your good state of health. Chiropractors call this a SUBLUXATION. Depending on what nerves (circuits) are blown, you could experience all kinds of symptoms to significant challenges such as High Blood Pressure.
It's impossible to turn off all stress in your life, but we can make it less painful if we know how to handle it. If your brain is not communicating with your nervous system, stress can be very harmful. My chiropractor is like my surge protector - skillfully monitoring my Nervous System for overloads and ADJUSTING circuits back to normal when necessary. I know, it is a bit corny but it gets you thinking, doesn't it?

If Your Health Is Important To You, You'd Find A Way
A friend of mine just wrote on Facebook this quote "If it is important to you, you'd find a way." How much clearer can that statement be? It is the same with our health. We complain about our health daily (stress, headaches, high blood pressure, allergies, sinus, stomach problems, etc.) and we do nothing about it. If your health is important to you, you'd find a way. If not, you will find an excuse....
Don't pass the buck and find excuses. Find a way to get healthy and stay healthy. Chiropractic can handle all your challenges and more.
