“Learning from Old Men and Starfish… and Chiropractic” Wisdom and chiropractic works for all, if we give it a chance.

Dear Friend,

What a story. It’s a story that I heard long ago that I should tell you about, too. It may help change a life.

At the first glimmer of light of dawn, a young man walked at the edge of the seashore. There had been a storm the night before, and he knew this would be a good morning to find seashells. With pants rolled up above his ankles, he walked along looking down for what treasures he might find.

Then the young man looked up and could barely make out a figure of a very old man ahead of him. The young man watched as the old man bent down to pick up an object from the sand, and toss it into the surf. As he got closer, and the light of morning began to turn the sand pink, he noticed that the old man was picking up starfish that had been tossed up on the beach by the storm. There were thousands of them, but one by one the old man picked them up, and tossed them back into the surf.

Nearing the old man the young man introduced himself, and said, “Excuse me, but there are thousands of starfish stranded here on the beach. You can’t possibly make a difference?”

The old man smiled and looked at him, then picked up another starfish. He tossed it back in the sea. “I certainly made a difference to that one, didn’t I, son?”

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their carpal tunnel syndrome problems. Also they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

There are millions of people who suffer from health problems, and many do not know where they can turn. For over one hundred years, chiropractors have been helping those people and making a difference to them, one by one.

You should know that I don’t heal anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that!

Forty-eight million Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where my chiropractic comes in. I have a significantly lower exam fee plan so that more people are able to afford the care they need. Another way to save… studies show that chiropractic may double your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, the flu, and other sicknesses. So you may not be running off to the M.D. as much. Studies show that many people actually pay less for their health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor.

My assistants Sue and Candice are really great people. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service, at an exceptional fee. Contact me through this blog. We can help you. Thank you.

Music Healing


Music seems to have a positive effect on our moods and health in much the same way color does. Soft music, when combined with some relaxation techniques, has been used to lessen stress and relax muscles. Music touches the spirit and can be very relaxing and healing. Researchers suggest that music increases the production of pain-killing hormones called endorphins in the brain. It creates the relaxation response. Music healing has produced some good results in those undergoing alcohol and drug rehabilitation. It’s been proven beneficial to those suffering from depression, high blood pressure, migraines, and ulcers. Although soft music can be soothing, certain types of hard rock music can have the opposite effect.

How Spinal Decompression Works Part II


Spinal decompression can trick the body into relaxing. Regular pulling of the spine can trigger sensors in the muscles, and cause them to tighten up. Spinal decompression can bypass the muscle tightening response of the body. This is accomplished by gently pulling on the spine and relaxing the back over a period of time. The spine is able to reposition without tension, or putting itself into an emergency tighten down mode.

How Spinal Decompression Works Part I

An increase in disc pressure causes the disc to bulge, and causes a lot of pain. Spinal decompression creates a negative pressure within the spinal disc that produces a vacuum. This vacuum helps pull nutrients and fluids into the disc region. This in turn helps facilitate the healing process, and helps retract the disc into a more proper position. This improved position is very beneficial for disc health.
