22.01.2022 The BIG Idea Written in 1944 as part of the Chiropractic Green Books, here is BJ Palmer’s Big Idea. The Green Books have acted at the foundations for Chiropractic Philosophy and are still relevant today. Here is BJ’s Big Idea: The BIG Idea A slip on the snowy sidewalk in winter is a SMALL thing. It happens to millions.... A fall from a ladder in the summer is a SMALL thing. It also happens to millions. The slip or fall produces a subluxation. The subluxation is a SMALL thing. The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve. That pressure is a SMALL thing. That decreased flowing produces a dis-eased body and brain. That is a BIG thing to that man. Multiply that sick man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can prophesy the physcial and mental status of a nation. So the slip or fall, the subluxation, pressure, flow of mental images and dis-ease are big enough to control the thoughts and actions of a nation. THE PRESSURE ON A NERVE IS A SMALL THING. THE RELEASED PRESSURE RESTORING HEALTH IS A BIG THING. Now comes a man. And one man is a SMALL thing. This man gives an adjustment. The adjustment is a SMALL thing. The adjustment replaces the subluxation. That is a SMALL thing. The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves. That is a SMALL thing. The released pressure restores health to a man. This is a BIG thing to that man. Multiply that well man by a thousand, and you step up the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that well man by a million, and you increase the efficiency of a state. Multiply that well man by a hundred thirty million, and you have produced a healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity. So, the adjustment of the subluxation to release pressure upon nerves, to restore mental impulse flow, to restore health, is big enough to rebuild the thoughts and actions of the world. The idea that knows the cause, that can correct the cause of dis-ease, is one of the biggest ideas known. Without it, nations fall; with it, nations rise. This idea is the biggest I know of.

20.01.2022 Can Chiropractic help your unborn child Chiropractors can do more than just help the pregnant mother with pain relief; they can also be advantageous for the developing child. There are cases where a pelvis pushed out of alignment can tighten the available area for the fetus, making it difficult to grow and move inside the abdomen. This can lead to possible birth defects, as well as problems during birth, as a misaligned pelvis makes it more difficult for the baby to come out in its optimal, head down position. With a balanced pelvis assisted by regular chiropractic treatment , a pregnant mother has higher chances of experiencing a quick and routine delivery. This reduces your overall time in labour, cutting on your hours of pain and discomfort.

18.01.2022 How Chiropractic Makes Pregnancy Easier Pregnancy can be a tough time for women, with hundreds of little physical and hormonal changes occurring over the course of nine months. Some changes affect your center of gravity, making it difficult to stick to the same postures and comfortable positions you are accustomed to. This can lead to unhealthy positions when you stand or sleep, leading to damaged joints or a misaligned spine. Pregnancy also changes the size and shape of... your pelvis, as well as increasing the way you curve your back due to the growing abdomen. All of these physical changes can lead to unnecessary pressure on the spine, causing damage that lingers long after the baby has been delivered. Much of the back and hip pain experienced during pregnancy is caused by these issues. However, a chiropractor allows you to avoid this reality, by giving your spine regular maintenance to counterbalance the changes occurring in your body. One study found that over 75% of pregnant women experienced substantial pain relief after regular chiropractic sessions. Simply put, chiropractic care during pregnancy can help in three major ways: Reducing or minimising experiences of nausea during pregnancy Relieving pain in the joints, neck, back, and hips Creating a healthier pregnancy experience with a less complicated delivery

10.01.2022 What happens to your body when your nervous? When we feel under pressure the nervous system instructs our bodies to release stress hormones including adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol. These produce physiological changes to help us cope with the threat or danger we see to be upon us. This is called the stress response or the fight-or-flight response. What does the fight or flight response feel like? Usually, you may notice a rapid heartbeat, shallow, rapid breathing and tense muscles. These physical reactions are the result of the 'fight or flight' response system, an ingenious mechanism. When a person senses something perceived as potentially threatening, a number of physiological changes take place in the body.

Justified by the thought of ‘oh well it’s Christmas time, I’m allowed to’. We tend to let go of any restraint which leads us to overeat and over drink. But Christmas does not have to be the end to your healthy eating efforts! If we implement a few golden rules over this festive season, it will roll past without the morning-after guilt.

Start with plate of vegetables Packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre, these guys will help bulk and volumise your plate, making it look and feel like you are eating a bigger meal (but without the extra calories). By filling your plate first with vegetables or salad, this also leaves less room for other not so healthy food choices. Scenario’s: If you know there are not going to be many vegetable options at a BBQ or dinner party you are invited to, why not offer to bring along a nice summer salad or vegetable dish? Make vegetables and salads fresh and fun. We have found some great recipes to inspire you to be healthy from the insidious over Christmas Cold turkey salad with mango and honey dressing (gluten free) 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar 1 tablespoon caster sugar 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 small red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped 500g leftover turkey (preferably breast meat), sliced 100g baby spinach leaves 2 cups mixed Asian herbs (such as coriander, mint, Thai basil) 1 large ripe mango, peeled, sliced Black sesame seeds, to sprinkle DRESSING 5 tablespoons (100ml) honey 1/4 cup (60ml) rice vinegar 100ml peanut oil 2 teaspoons sesame oil YUMMMMMMMM

05.01.2022 Did our Paleolithic ancestors take supplements? Great question. Our ancestors ate an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit, plenty of wild game, fish and fowl, and all of the nuts, seeds and berries that they could gather. They weren't exposed to the environmental toxins that we face every day. And they certainly did not keep the constant stressful pace that we all consider 'normal' today - i.e. our ancestors weren't stuck in traffic, stressed out, eating processed and p...Continue reading
