Pain in the Extremities

There are 206 bones in your entire body. More than half of these are in the extremities: your arms, hands, legs and feet, a total of 118 bones. Each and every one of these bones, at some point or another, needs adjusting.

 

Many chiropractors only adjust the spine. Within the chiropractic profession these doctors are often referred to as "straight" chiropractors. I could be a little off on that definition but it is pretty close. I am not a "straight" chiropractor and the majority is not.

If the joints of the feet, ankles, or knees are locked, dropped or otherwise not moving correctly as part of overall body motion, then these stuck joints can mechanically irritate other joints, particularly other joints such as the hip and low back joints that are further up the body structurally. This would be similar to the foundation of a house dropping in one corner an inch or so and cracks appearing in walls and the ceiling on the other side of the house.    

 

If you have pain in you extremities, there is a good chance you need one or more of these bones adjusted.

 

Here is a success story to spur you on.

 

"For two years I suffered the pain of plantar fasciitis and Merrell shoes were the only thing that made it survivable. I could not walk 10 feet without the shoes without having excruciating pain.

 

Then one glorious day it was gone. But then just a few months later I got it again in the other foot! This time even my Merrell shoes could not keep me from limping. After I had been sitting for a while it would take me five minutes before my limp would go away.

 

I had been seeing Dr. Spearman for spinal adjustments but it had not occurred to me to mention my foot. One particularly bad day, I was having with my foot, I happened to complain about it and he adjusted my foot, both of them actually.

 

OMG! The pain was significantly reduced immediately.  After the second visit where my feet were adjusted I never had pain from the plantar fasciitis again!..." BC  

 

Just let your feet and legs walk you into the office. See you soon!

Sincerely,
Mike Spearman, D.C.

How Much Should You Exercise and When?

 

Today, the one thing that everyone agrees on is that exercise improves health and can help reverse many medical conditions. Even people who cannot exercise for long periods due to being out of shape or busy lifestyles can now benefit from recent research regarding exercise.

Recent studies show that several, short periods of exercise after eating is more effective than continuous exercise for lowering fat and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream. This new research supports multiple 10-minute periods of exercise that add up to at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week, as a way to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Additionally, if you also want to lose excess weight and/or lower blood sugar levels, the best time to do your exercise time is before breakfast, before lunch and before dinner.

A good type of exercise to start with if you have not been exercising or are out of shape is to begin by just walking. Then as you get accustomed to the walking you can speed up your pace, or if you wish, begin a more vigorous exercise regimen.

Take those walks and in one week you will start to feel the difference! In two weeks you'll be quite surprised!

 

 

 

 

This Is Your Brain On Sugar: Study in Rats Shows High-Fructose Diet Sabotages Learning, Memory

A new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning -- and how omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its May 15 edition.
