Altered Wellness Podcast

Today I want to talk about fitness and working out and how it affects the neck and what to be careful of. The key, the key when you’re working out when it comes to your neck, is that your neck is in a neutral position.

I wanted to talk today about sufficient rest and sleep and how important it is. Do you get enough sleep?

You can’t have that. And how about the rest of your health in terms of your spine? That’s where chiropractors come in. Is your nerve system working properly? Are you in pain

So really, both ways are okay, but really to answer the question, if you don’t feel good and you’re on your way to the gym, it’s better to come and get adjusted first.

We have patients that start doing well here, and they say, why didn’t my medical doctor tell me about this? Well, there’s a few reasons.

If you have a spine and you wanna keep it in as good shape as possible, you should go regularly and get chiropractic care the same way you take care of your teeth

That’s what the chiropractic adjustment does. That’s what’s actually happening when we apply that force.

All of the twisting and the bending, any injuries or car crashes, lifting cases of water, sitting in the car, traveling on airplanes. All of that has got you in the condition you’re at right now.

The nerve is coming out through a hole and we want the most amount of space there and what can happen is this vertebrae can shift and start to get stuck right here.

We are on a mission here, as you can probably tell. There’s people out there hurting in a thousand different ways that chiropractic and spiral decompression can help.

And then most of the time I’m taking a set of digital x-rays. We wanna see, there’s a saying to see is to know and to not see is to guess, and we don’t guess with your health.

You get one body that you’ve gotta navigate through life for your entire life. You can’t trade it, you don’t get a new one. So why don’t people take care of it like they take care of their car?

You break your arm you’ve got shattering arm pain and you go to the hospital for relief. The symptom is gone. Is the problem gone? You haven’t even started.

And in between these vertebrae are nerves and the scientists were able to attach a wire to one of these nerves and put the other end, attach it to a light bulb, and the electrical power from the brain coming down and out that nerve is able to light the light bulb.

Is pain holding you back from doing what you wanna do? Well, I’ll tell you what, after seeing 8,000 plus patients here in Delray Beach over the last 18 years, there’s a very good chance we can help you feel a thousand times better.

So you can have freedom at the end of your life. This is about getting anything that you’ve wanted, a new watch, a new car. So everything in your life can fit in one of these 4 categories. And what we wanna have happen, and I’m encouraging you to want this to have happen, is to get each of these areas really dialed in in your life.

What lesson can you take from that? Well, what it’s saying is that taking care of yourself, taking care of your body, your teeth, your skin, your spine, taking care of your body and taking care of your health is easier than not taking care of it and then trying to do everything you have to to get it back to health.

With all of my experience, 18 years here in Delray, I’m gonna take all of that information and design a plan perfectly for you. Isn’t that what you want? When I have a problem and I go see a doctor, that’s exactly what I want from him. So come and see me.

Changing the body takes consistency over time. If you’ve had a problem for five years, what’s it going to take to get a lot better? It’s probably going to take a lot of work. If you’ve had it a long time, it’s going to take time to get better. It’s almost common sense—and I’m still startled that people don’t understand that.

We’re here in Delray Beach to take care of your spine to keep your lower back in the best shape possible so you don’t wind up one of these statistics.
