By 2013 allergy costs borne by the family totaled $20.5 billion annually, including lost labor productivity, out-of-pocket, and opportunity costs. This was just the effect of children suffering from allergies (JAMA Pediatrics). Imagine the totals for children and adults suffering from allergies! But the real question is, are all these allergy treatments getting to the ROOT CAUSE? In this episode the docs talk about their experiences helping people get freedom from allergy medications and how crucial it is to be specific with chiropractic care. They also discuss how chiropractic works with the body to improve the function of the body's immune system to allow the proper handling of things like air pollutants, toxins, and irritants that we are exposed to on a daily basis. Are you an allergy sufferer? Maybe it's time to try Chiropractic!

In this episode the docs discuss the case management of a patient with acute low back pain. These types of patients will typically have trouble walking and cannot function because of the pain they are experiencing. The Gonstead system allows our doctors to get results with these patients because of the precision in finding the misaligned vertebra that is causing the disc to herniate, and restoring its positioning without a lot of force. These cases can take time but with the right tools and an understanding of the condition, these patients can experience great relief without the need for drugs or surgery!

There are a lot of important things for the patients to understand as they try to manage the pain at home between treatments. The docs go over some helpful tips and tricks for managing the pain the natural way.

Bedwetting is becoming more and more common among young children but is it normal? This problem is usually a hidden one due to the fact the parents and their children aren't going to advertise the problem to others or draw attention to it because of the embarrassment it may cause to the child. Here are some statistics on the age groups and how common bedwetting is among each group:

• 30% of 3-year-olds
• 40% of 4-year-olds
• 20% of 5-year-olds
• 12% of 6-year-olds
• 5% of 10-year-olds 
• 3% of 12-year-olds -Howard J. Bennett, MD



Although the statistics show that as children age they are less likely to struggle with bedwetting, it does not show why they had the problem in the first place. If the root cause is never addressed, the child may "grow out of the bedwetting" but they usually grow into other bladder or bowel problems later in life. In this episode we share our experiences with some of the toughest bedwetting cases we've seen and share the life changing results that these children experienced when they found relief from their bedwetting for the very FIRST time! What if your child finally got relief from their bedwetting problems? What impact would it have on their lives, and yours?

For every effect, there is a cause! ChiropracTORS are doctors of cause.

Statistics show that 80% of Americans will experience debilitating back pain at some point in their lives. This is a problem that Americans have spent $150.4 billion per year on treatment alone, not to mention the cost of lost labor, absenteeism, and decreased productivity to companies. In 2011 there was $131.8 billion in annual earnings lost for persons with back/neck conditions.

This is a HUGE problem, but the cause is a SMALL thing. Today the docs discuss some of the small and yet costly things that can jumpstart debilitating back pain and how you can avoid becoming one of the statistics.

In this episode the docs discuss a case study of a chronic shoulder injury. The man dealing with the shoulder injury had suffered for 9 years with shoulder and arm pain and had been told that there was nothing wrong with his shoulder by the medical and orthopedics he had seen in the past. Multiple steroid shots in the shoulder over the years gave him minimal relief that was temporary at best. His latest visit to the office changed his life! For the first time in 9 years, he can use his arm and work at full capacity with NO PAIN!

Shoulder injuries are very complex due to the nature of the shoulder complex and all that is involved in keeping the shoulder stable from a musculoskeletal and neuromuscular standpoint. The docs explain the different causes of shoulder pain that may be causing your disfunction.

In this episode we dive into the difference between the two main views in modern health care which are Vitalistic and Mechanistic. These two views look at similar problems people face from a drastically different point of view. As you can imagine the treatment prescribed is much different and so are the results! A Vitalistic view of the body sees the body as an intelligent organism with an inborn ability to heal and self regulate in response to its environment. A Mechanistic view of the body sees the body as a sum of parts that is unintelligent and passively responds to its environment. The human body is endlessly complex and our knowledge of what it's capable of continues to expand. This is what makes our job so much fun! There's a saying in Chiropractic that says, "The power that made the body heals the body". We get to help facilitate that power through SPECIFIC Chiropractic care!
