Chiropractic is Good

It's been a long time since my last post.  I am still at 2400 N. Croatan Hwy in KDH.  I am in the office Wednesday and Friday 11-1 & 3-6. 

Just wanted to touch base.  I will dropping a line now and again.  I look forward to writing more.

Chiropractic for all

 Hello everyone.  Just thinking about the benefits of Chiropractic on humanity.  Everyone regardless of physical ability can benefit form Chiropractic care.

The chiropractic adjustment must be specific and correct the Subluxation (mis alignment) in order to remove interference from the nerve system.  That alone can benefit all humanity, because nerve interference in and of itself is always a detriment to the human body.

I personally get my spine checked every week sometimes more and that is what I recommend to all.  I would never recommend anything without first trying it.  Once a week I believe is the best route to take.

Hope everyone is happy, healthy and strong

Peace,

One Being

Do you take the time to just be?  We are at a crossroads where technology is still going in the direction it needs to, which is up, and our being, finally acknowledging that our brains can not keep up.  There are more mental disorders these days than years of past such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, PTSD, etc...  Research has been coming out and we are discovering that our connectiveness, and technology in general are major causes.
I am not against technology, however we need to use it to our advantage and not let it use us and that is a topic for another post. 
There are a few simple things we can do now to combat the fatigue from technology.  One is to start a simple practice of just being.  Find a quiet spot and just sit, close your eyes and focus on your breath.  It can be a minute or longer, which ever you make time for.
Eating, next time you eat, just eat.  Be grateful and mindful of just eating, and you will enjoy it more.  And finally, disconnect from all screens at least one hour before bed.
So you may ask what does this have to do with Chiropractic?  Just an analogy.  Subluxations are like technology and they will cause as much havoc to your brain.
Getting your subluxations corrected will allow you to just be.

Peace 

Getting out there

I know most of my posts here are Chiropractic related however I would like to digress a bit and talk about getting out there.  What I mean about getting out there is this; sharing ideas, showing your work, talking to strangers, and helping others.
We all have great ideas, and many of those ideas can be expanded upon if we share them with others.  With the advent of the digital platform we are able to get our work out there whenever, and to whomever at any given time, and most is free.
Take Chiropractic for instance, I am always sharing ideas with my colleagues and also with my practice members.  I am always excited when someone in the office strikes an interesting conversation.  This usually leads to more creativity and ideas.
Be humble and listen to those who do and don't know as much as you.
Get out there and share your work.

Epigenetics and Chiropractic

The study of Epigenetics is fairly new on the Scientific scene.  It has caught my interest and hopefully it will catch yours.  Epigenetics is the study of changes in the organism (us) caused by a modification of gene expression rather than altering the genetic code.  In short our genes can change from the internal and external stimuli we encounter or create.  Imagine that, we can change the expression of that cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. gene from ever affecting our body from changes in our environment, lifestyle and thoughts.
Our social, emotional, cultural and economic environment impact the influence of the expression of our genes.  Thoughts and emotions account for up to 80% of influence on the brain and body as well as exercise, sunlight and everything we choose to put into or onto our body.
So how does this tie into Chiropractic?
Simply put, the brain and body are in constant communication via the nerve system (brain and spinal cord).  There are over 30 trillion cells in the body all wanting to work in total harmony through proper communication and this is achieved from a clear signalling process.
This process involves the tiny nerves that exit the bones of the back which become misaligned on a daily basis also from internal and external stimuli and sometimes get stuck (vertebral subluxation) thus causing major interference and wreaking havoc in our bodies!
I'm not sure about you but I want that system to be fully functioning so all my good thoughts, assimilation from the wholesome foods I eat, and the new construction of muscle, bone, nerve and brain cells are all being optimized.
So to be sure no spinal misalignments are present you need to have your spine checked at least once a week.  I personally get my spine checked 2-3 times per week.  This ensures that my nerve system is being fully optimized to do its job.
You are not only what you eat, but you are what you think!
Think good thoughts, live in harmony with nature and express gratitude everyday and your life will be enhanced beyond anything you imagined.

Peace
Dr. Gene

Stopping something good?!

I really do not like starting an entry with a negative connotation, but for this I must.  It behoves me why someone would stop doing something that is good for them.  I mean we all know water is essential an a vital element for survival, yet most seem to ignore it and choose something like soda, tea, milk, etc...  We know that exercise is good for us yet most don't do it?  We know whole foods are far superior than processed but yet choose the latter.  Why seems to be the big question, but to me it is the WHY not that is even a bigger question.  To answer that question we need psychoanalysis of human nature which is far beyond the scope of this post.  And I digress- Science proves that a nerve system free from interference is a better functioning nerve system, so why would you not get your spine checked and adjusted if necessary?  And if you know it is good for you why on earth would you stop?!
Here in my office I do all I can to remove obstacles that would prevent you from coming in weekly.  No appointments necessary, very affordable fees, and the best quality Chiropractic that I can provide.
So, WHY not?

I will see you all this week.
Thank you!

Peace
Dr. Gene

Why Not?

People go to Chiropractors for many reasons, back ache, neck ache, fatigue, insomnia, ear aches, etc...  Some of these ailments go away from adjusting the Subluxated vertebra, but some don't.  Does that mean that Chiropractic didn't work?  Of course not, Chiropractic works every time you correct a Subluxation.  It works because the correction of a Subluxation removes nerve interference which in turn allows the body to function better.
So why not go and get your spine checked whether you have an ailment or not?  Your body is always better off with a good nerve supply thus functioning better!

Children and Chiropractic

I am often asked while I am checking a child "why do kids need to get adjusted?"  Children, like adults are subjected to everyday stress, physical, chemical and emotional.  These stresses compound in the body and causes spinal mis alignments called Vertebral Subluxations (VS).  It does not matter how old you are or what kind of shape you are in, everyone with a spine is subjected to VS.  

So where does back pain fall into this?  Well, it really doesn't.  You see whether you have back pain or not, you still need to have your spine checked weekly for VS.  VS may or may not cause back pain, however they always cause interference between brain and body therefore decreasing the bodies vitality! 

So lets give children the chance to reach their fullest potential by having them checked once a week for VS.

 Thanks,Dr. Gene

The same old story

Time and time again I hear the same old story of how Chiropractors claim that they can "fix" backaches.  The truth is no one knows if your backache will go away from a Chiropractic adjustment or not!?  One thing that will always remain true is that a Chiropractic adjustment will allow the body to work better, its that simple- period.
Here at Family Chiropractic I do not give the same old story.  I tell you the truth- Chiropractic can help everyone regardless of physical condition by correcting spinal mis alignments called Subluxations which in turn will allow you body to work better!  And that is ALWAYS good.

In Truth,
Dr. Gene

That time of year

It's that time of the year where fear is instilled in all of us about the impending flu/sickness season.  The best thing we can do is to strengthen our Immune system.  That can be achieved in many ways. First is to have the system that controls the Immune system and ALL the systems of the body for that matter functioning at its fullest potential.  That is the Nerve system.
Vertebral Subluxations (misaligned Vertebra) cause interference to the Nerve system and therefore interfering with a properly functioning Immune system.
So optimize your Immune system by getting your spine checked on a weekly basis to have those pesky little Vertebral Subluxations corrected!

No appointments necessary, No xrays needed, just pure affordable quality Chiropractic for the whole family served at Family Chiropractic in Kill Devil Hills.
So come by...

Back to Basics

After 20 plus years we are now seeing the detrimental effects of the fat free diets and processed/ fast food lifestyles.  Diabetes, Cancer and Obesity are a direct result from these false truths and fake foods.  Get back to basics with wholesome natural foods, good healthy fats and fresh vegetables.  Get back in the kitchen and prepare a wholesome meal.  The effects of the latter are improved health, weight loss and overall well being.  Our bodies get stagnated and clogged up eating processed foods ladinded with sugar, preservatives, hydrogenated fats and poisons.  From a logic and common sense stand point I cant see how anyone would put that garbage in there system.
So lets get back to basics, eat wholesome natural foods and enjoy some home cooked meals with Family and loved ones!
And whatever you do, dont neglect your spine...  Come on by and get adjusted just for the Health of it!

Peace,
Dr. Gene

What Chiropractic means to me...

In one word- LIFE!  There can be no dispute that the brain sends LIFE force to the body via the nerve system.  So we can logically conclude if there is any interference to that system we will have less LIFE force- right?
FACT- the spinal bones protect that system
FACT- the spinal bones mis-align due to everyday stress
FACT- those mis-alignments will  cause interfernce to that system
LOGIC- Mis-aligned spinal bones are bad
FACT- the Chiropractic adjustment corrects that mis aligned spinal bone
LOGIC- Chiropractic adjustments are GOOD!!!
So what are you waiting for??  Come into the office and let me check your spine for these mis-alignments.  Now that makes sense!!!
What are you waiting for?

CHIROPRACTIC- It's not about your back!
                            - It's not about your pain!
                            - It's about your LIFE!

Peace,
Dr. Gene

Consistency...

I for one take for granted the profound effects of regular Chiropractic care.  I don't even think twice about getting my spine checked 2-3 times per week.  Having said that, I want to give that opportunity to the people in my community.  My office is easy to get to, affordable rates, no appointments and the consideration of your time.
Look, Subluxations are slowly killing cells and tissues.  How long do you want that process to go on?
I recommend once a week for the rest of your LIFE.  Yes thats right!  Come more often if you can.  After all Stress is what causes Subluxations.
So, get your spine checked weekly so your body can adapt to stress better and your body can function at its best.
Chiropractic is not about back!
Chiropractic is not about pain!
Chiropractic is about LIFE...

Thanks

How Many??

How many of you think Chiropractic care is about back pain?  For one, I did, until I studied, practiced and used common sense.  Now I will agree that some people get out of pain, BUT some do not.  Does that mean they do not need Chiropractic?  The answer would be an astoundingly NO.  EVERYONE needs Chiropractic care.  Can a person without back pain benefit just the same as the person with pain?  Absolutely!  This is where common sense comes in..  Science tells us that plaque build up on your teeth will destroy them.  Common sense tells us that our teeth are better off by brushing, would you agree?
Science tells us that stress causes spinal bones to misalign and destroys the bodies function.  Common sense tells us that getting our spine lined back up will increase our bodies function, would you agree to that?
So why aren't you in here on a weekly basis?  Whatever the reason, I can work with you.  You see my mission in life is to get every human being under regular lifetime Chiropractic care!!  Become a member of Family Chiropractic and express more LIFE.  Because after all Chiropractic is about LIFE...

I do not know!

I am asked all the time, "Doc, what do you think is causing my back ache?"  Now to answer that without being rude.  Simply put, your back ache could be coming from a myriad of things.  For instance, a strain, a sprain, a kidney infection, a cancer, a bulge disc, a herniated disc, etc..  You get the point.  All of those diagnosis are medical in nature.  I am a Chiropractor who is an expert at Vertebral Subluation.  Out of respect for my profession and the medical profession, I do not pretend to even guess as to what could be causing your back ache.  I would be doing you a dis-service and it is irresponsible at best.  So simply put "I do not know."   I get more respect from that answer then trying to guess.
I am and will continue to be an expert at analyzing your spine for the presence of Vertebral Subluxation.  I am 100% certain that Vertebral Subluxations will interfere with EVERY aspect of your LIFE.
Come by and have your spine checked for Vertebral Subluaxtion so you can be a better expression of LIFE.
Thanks
Dr. Gene

Why my office is different

Why my office is different is based upon my objective.  My objective is to analyze, locate and bring about correction of Vertebral Subluxation by the Chiropractic adjustment done by hands only.  That is it, nothing more nothing less.
Medical insurance, X-rays, physical therapy or nutritional supplements are NOT needed to SAFELY perform my Chiropractic adjustment and that is WHY I don't do them here. 
My personal mission is to touch as many people humanly possible with Chiropractic.  The only way to achieve this is to have a fee system to reflect it.  I make my fees very affordable so anyone at any time can receive quality Chiropractic care.
Another difference is that no appointments are necessary.  This is a great feature in our busy society.  I put a calendar out each month with days and times for you to make it.
Recap;
NO Insurance needed
NO appointments
NO one selling you anything
NO thearpies
NO x-rays
NO waiting (10 minutes tops)
Just pure straight Chiropractic at its best...

So come on by, bring a friend or loved one and ask about our January monthly special..

Thanks,
Dr. Gene

What makes sense.

What makes sense to me is that in order for the body to function better it needs a clear line of communication between the brain and all systems.  Does this make sense to you?  We know that bones mis align and cause interference to this clear line of communication and Chiropractic adjustments correct that mis alignment so we have a clear line.
Now what doesn't make sense to me is that people think that if they eat good, take vitamins, exercise, etc.. that their body will function better.  That is partially true and here is why.
You can take all the vitamins in the world, but if the nerve going to the stomach for digestion is being interfered with via a mis alignment, than the vitamins are not being processed to the fullest extent.  This goes for eating good too.
Would you get more from your workouts if you had a clear line?  Of course you would!
Now what makes sense is that you get your spine checked every week to make sure you have a clear line!!

Make Chiropractic a part of your wellness arsenal- first and foremost.
