Chirocast

A recent article in the journal Nature had an obtuse title but profound impact, "A somato-cognitive action network alternates with effector regions in motor cortex." Translation: the homunculus that was 'discovered' in 1948 actually was an inaccurate description! Really? So we don't REALLY know everything about how the human body works? No surprise there! Just like The Polyvagal Theory has upended what we thought of as the Vagus nerve, research shows that we still have a lot to learn!

The US health situation is in a precarious position. We are the only country in the top industrialized countries in the world to have a further decrease in life expectancy in 2021! Every other major player has rebounded except the US. More info, click here: https://www.theadjustment.com/

The statistics are in. 1 in 36 kids have Autism, up 800% in the last 20 years. 1 in 5 children have a mental health disorder. But it's not just in kids. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have skyrocketed during this same time too! What's wrong with our brains? Originally aired as a webinar for Chirosecure. More info?

Chiropractic adjusting technique as it is taught is based mostly on the sense of touch. Maybe we can learn to use more than just the tactile sensation of our hands, by learning to 'listen' with our hands, with our eyes, with our ears, and with our hearts. This is how I suggest to better serve the kiddos who are minimally speaking, either because they are infants(pre-verbal) or because they are on the spectrum.

Be relentless. Like the moss that is devouring a tree that has fallen, one molecule at a time. The moss doesn't think, "this tree is too big. We can never do this." It may takes months or even years but that tree will be 100% fertilizer in 'X' amount of time...whatever time it takes, the moss will accomplish its goal. How about you?

Every quarter there are questions...questions about 'where do we start, what should be in a contract, how do we hire staff, how do we attract new patients, what is the biggest mistake you made early on in practice." Here are some answers...

My wife and I years ago sat in a restaurant and wrote down our goals, dreams and ambitions on a napkin. We have met or exceeded all of those goals and then some. It makes a difference when you actually write them with a pen rather than typing them on a device. What's your napkin moment?

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and our power to choose." What is the stimulus? And more importantly, before the response, there exists a space and what you do with that space decides your future! Because in that space you make a choice and your choices accumulated over time equal your life! Quote from Victor Frankl, read in Stephen Covey's phenomenal book: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

"Life is difficult...but when you accept the fact that life is difficult, life becomes easier." Chiropractic helps make life the best it can be, within its limitations. Life isn't easy, but our goal is to make life just a little bit better for each practice member, each time we see them.

A recent article states that if labor is induced, those children have lower school performance at age 12! In Australia the article reports that a shocking 36% of labors are induced (in the US the stats are 25%). What does this mean? That there are always unintended side effects to any intervention!
