Kinesiology, chiropractic and nervous system

The complexity of the human nervous system is awesome. Experts estimate that there are over 100+ billion nerve cells in the brain alone. The amount of information that is needed to perform simple tasks is great.

The nervous system can be viewed as a busy two-way street. When performing any action, the brain and spinal cord sends nerve signals to the body. Every muscle, every organ and every cell is meant to perform an action because the brain tells it to. When you pick up food to put in your mouth, your brain tells your fingers to grasp the food. The brain then tells the jaw to chew the food, the throat to swallow the food, and the stomach to digest the food. The brain tells everything in the body how to do its job. These are called efferent signals.

Information also goes the opposite direction. Nerve impulses are also sent from all of the muscles, cells and organs to update the brain on the progress of a given action. In the same scenario, the fingers tell the brain that they have the food, the tongue tells you how the food tastes and the stomach tells the to stop eating because your full. These are called afferent signals.

However, accidents occur which causes a delay or stop in the information trying to get to its destination. One of the most common places for an accident occurs around the spinal column. At each level of the spinal column, spinal nerves exit through a hole called an intervertebral foramen. When one of the spinal bones moves out of its normal alignment, it can cause pressure on a spinal nerve. This is called a subluxation. A nerve does not function as it ought to when this pressure exists. This is what makes a patient feel not right.

The good news is that we treat the subluxations directly using manipulation, accupressure, cranial work and nutrition to help relieve pressure. Under our care, patients will begin to feel better relatively quickly. That is because when we just start to remove the pressure from the nerves, the slightest change in alignment will change in how the patient feels. We work to solve the underlying problems that allowed the subluxation to occur in the first place.
In the end, we do not really heal anyone. We help the body to move the way it was designed to so that the body can heal itself. —

Well the holidays are over and if you have gained the average 7 lbs during the holiday or have been struggling to lose weight or get healthy, now is the time to make a change.
The new year offers an opportunity to begin to make healthy changes. Nearly all of the people who come to our office with extra weight or poor health have followed one or more “One-Size-Fits-All” programs with very limited success.
In our office we have found that a diet or nutrient program that works for one person may do nothing for a second and make a third person even worse. In others words people are very individual and can have very different outcomes.
The person you can trust with regard to your health is yourself and your eyes. If you look around you notice that all people look different on the outside. We all have a different metabolism – the way that we process foods and utilize nutrients. We all have different Nutritional needs that occur along a broad continuum. What works for one doesn’t always work for another.
Declining Health and Weight Gain don’t have to be Normal Aspects of Aging.
Our Clinical Nutrition pioneers have studied pockets of people all over the world who remained untouched by the Western diet. These cultures followed the wisdom of their ancestors with regard to what they ate and enjoyed a life without modern diseases – cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and so on. When these same people are exposed to the processed and chemicalized foods of modern civilization, their health rapidly declines and they develop the same diseases that plague industrialized societies.

Because we now know that good health and longevity are directly dependent on nutrition and prevention-oriented health practices, Americans are purchasing gym memberships, diet books, supplements and food products at incredible rates. But we haven’t managed to leave our weight problems behind or put a dent in any of the chronic illnesses.
The Best Program helps us achieve perfect health and weight loss at the same time. With the right health program you can

•Prevent and reverse degenerative disease
•Strengthen your immune system
•Achieve and maintain your ideal weight
•Optimize physical energy and mental clarity
•Overcome mood swings and depression
•Enhance athletic performance and endurance

In our office we offer nutrition-based physical examinations, kinesiological testing, hormone balance restoration, the wisdom of ancestral diets, and a diet program created for your body type. We’ve taken the guesswork and frustration out of continually trying to find the magic bullet and created a system that works, for you.

Nutrition Response Testing
•Most of our patients are referred to us by other satisfied patients.
•This blog is for those that want to know what “Nutrition Response Testing” is – and part of what we do.

What is Nutrition Response Testing™?
Nutrition Response Testing™ is very precise and scientific. However, if I were to analyze you using Nutrition Response Testing before it was explained to you, you might find it strange, or simply not believable – only because it is probably very different from anything you may have experienced before.

We completely understand that because when I first saw this type of work being done, my first reaction was “Hmm, what is this strange stuff?” No one was more skeptical than I was. As a result, I studied Nutrition Response Testing™ extensively to see if it was for real. And I am sure happy I did because it has helped me improve my health, and because of Nutrition Response Testing™, we are here and are able to help you improve your health.
f you want to get healthy and stay healthy, it is important that you understand what Nutrition Response Testing™ is, and what our recommendations are based on.

Otherwise, you are less likely to follow through and actually do what you need to do to get well. To put it simply, if you don’t follow through, you won’t get well. And if you are not going to get well, why do it in the first place?

The results we have been having with Nutrition Response Testing™ are often in the 90% and better range. The only reason we are here is to help you get well. We have no other reason for being here and, hopefully, you are here for that same reason. That is why I want to make sure you get the correct understanding of what Nutrition Response Testing™ is right from the start.

Let’s get started
In medical practice there are two key parts: the diagnosis (identifying and/or naming the “disease” or syndrome) and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.).

In Nutrition Response Testing we do not diagnose or treat disease – but we also have two parts: the analysis and the personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition).

Simply put, first we do an analysis, and then we design a natural health improvement program to help you handle what we find in our analysis of your body and condition.

First the Analysis
The analysis is done through testing the body’s own neurological reflexes and acupuncture points. The neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the functions of each and every organ. The acupuncture points are selected from the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, which is thousands of years old.

Nutrition Response Testing™ is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body.

Interestingly, since the human anatomy has not changed significantly in thousands of years, the utilization of these reflexes and specific points have become extremely useful in our practice because they are so accurate!

Think about it
Each Nutrition Response Testing™ reflex represents a specific organ, tissue, or function, and indicates the effect that energy, or the lack of energy, is having on the body. By testing the Nutrition Response Testing reflexes, we have a system of monitoring your body at each visit that has proven to be extremely accurate clinically, and that helps us identify exactly what the body needs and how well we are meeting that need.

Whenever we face problems we usually have two choices how to address a problem, we can either patch or fix the issue. Although they might sound similar, patching and fixing are two very different options. Patching the problem is a short term solution, we try to find something that will help the problem now, without much thought of the future. Fixing the problem is a long term solution, it doesn’t involve just addressing the problem now, but also makes sure that we don’t have to worry about the problem again in the future.

Kinesiology with Chiropractic care is no different than any other problem we face in life. When we start to feel pain, Kinesiology with Chiropractic can offer two options, to to either patch or fix the problem. Both options are detailed out with each patient before we begin treatment, as it is essential that every patient has all of the information necessary to make the best decision with regards to the care.

When we begin to feel pain, it is very easy to get in the mind set that thinks, “I’m hurt, all I care about is feeling better!” This is something, as a Chiropractic Kinesiologist, I see in patients every day. My goal is to try to get them out of this mind set and try to get them to focus on their health long term. Yes, I can make them feel better relatively quickly, but unless they are committed to fixing the problem, it is going to keep coming back over and over again.

If the engine in your car began to leak, you could patch the problem by just pouring more oil into the engine. However, that oil will just leak out, and you are left with having to consistently refill the engine with oil. Using Kinesiology with chiropractic to just get out of pain is a similar situation, the pain will eventually keep coming back.

In many instances, the patient’s pain is caused by a muscles being turned off and a bone being out of position and putting pressure on a nerve and a joint being stuck and not moving properly We call subluxations. Once the pressure is removed from the nerve, and the muscle is turned on the joint starts moving again, patients start to get pain relief. The body can resist this new situation where new muscles and joints feel new stress of the new position. Fixing all the muscles can take time to get all the muscles fixed and change the joint position to one that is biomechanically correct position, so that the pain doesn’t come back.

So, fixing the problem for a Chiropractic Kinesiologist is like plugging a leak in an engine instead of just constantly refilling the oil.

The decision to either patch or fix the problem is always yours. Whether you are looking for a short term solution to get you through the week, or a long term solution that will benefit you for the rest of your life, your Chiropractic Kinesiologist can help.
