MARCH 2024

Happy March!

March is here! Not only is March the first month of Spring it is also a verb! I am sure you have heard phrases such as "March into Better Health", or "March to a different drummer", to name a few.

Well, I would invite you to do both. Those who have chosen to have chiropractic spinal check-ups on a regular basis enjoy a better functioning nerve system which often leads to better health. Your cells, tissues and organs function better when they have a better nerve supply. Those who get adjusted and also bring their spouse and children understand the importance of chiropractic. I would also state you march to a different drummer.

Just as you brush your teeth on a regular basis, get checked by a chiropractor on a regular basis. Just as you shower on a regular basis, get checked by a chiropractor for spinal misalignment. Just as you exercise on a regular basis, get checked and adjusted on a regular basis for the best version of you!

See you on your next visit.

I don't believe in Chiropractic...

Have you ever heard anyone use this as a reason why they would not want to have a chiropractic evaluation? If so, then I would have to say that you are not alone. I have heard this sentiment numerous times.

When I hear these words spoken, I have to ask myself, "What is it that they don't 'believe' in?" After all, I’m not Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. We work with scientific universal laws and principles that work whether you believe in them or not. Try not believing in gravity and you walk off a 10-story building and see what happens. But whatever it is they don’t believe in, that’s OK as I rather they understand it and make their decisions based on that information.

Do you understand chiropractic?

Well, let's find out. Four simple questions will hopefully show you that you do.

Question 1: Do you understand that your brain and nerve system’s responsibility is to control and coordinate all of your bodily functions? If you do, then you are in agreement with every physiology textbook that has been published.

Question 2: Do you understand that your brain sends out information, in the way of chemicals and electrical brain waves or messages, over the nerve system to control and coordinate every physiological function you perform? Again, if you do then you are in agreement with every textbook ever written on the subject.

Question 3: Can you see that a disruption of the information over the nerve system causes a state of imbalance and threatens your quality of life, potential, and performance in everything you do and are? If so, you are in agreement with anyone who has ever studied the Central Nerve System.

Question 4: Do you agree that removing any obstruction to nerve function would improve your brain's ability to control and coordinate all of your bodily functions allowing you to have a better chance of achieving your potential in everything you do and are in life? If you do then you agree with all the published research on the topic.

If you answered yes to all those questions you understand chiropractic (and can choose to ‘believe’ in it too, if you want to).

A Chiropractor's goal is to check your spine for vertebral subluxations, which are misaligned spinal bones that are causing interference to the proper function of your nerve system.

Subluxations occur regularly in everyone due to our body being overwhelmed by the physical, chemical, and emotional stresses that we are all exposed to daily. When subluxations are found, chiropractors then perform spinal adjustments to allow more normal function and alignment of the bones of your spine, which helps restore your ability to regulate and maintain proper nerve system function. When this occurs, your body has a greater potential to function at its best in everything it does.

Pretty simple, isn't it? When you really understand the concept behind how chiropractic works, then you realize that you do not need to ‘believe' in chiropractic.

We then have to ask bigger questions like…

-Do you want to be a parent, spouse, sibling, child, etc. with subluxations and a malfunctioning nerve system, or without subluxations and a nerve system that will allow you to be better able to access your optimum potential in those roles? Why?

-What about your job, school, or things you do for fun? Would you prefer to do those things subluxated and with nerves interference or unsubluxated and with a better functioning nerve system? Why?

-Lastly, would you want to be unsubluxated with a better functioning nerve system just for a few days or as much as possible for the rest of your life? Why? Obviously, the world would be better if everyone (including YOU) functioned at their best and optimum potential in all aspects of their LIFE.

So then why do so many people use the "I don't believe in chiropractic" excuse? Good question. We can only surmise that people don't understand what chiropractors do so they just default to the "I don't believe" stance.

In the end, this is quite sad because if explained properly they’ll be able to understand chiropractic. If no one tells them the truth they may never experience what chiropractic has to offer because of a misunderstanding. Sadly, too many people will continue to live lesser quality lives due to nerve interference caused by vertebral subluxations and the world will miss out on their potential. It doesn't have to be that way!

If you already know this information, send this article to someone you care about that may not.

If you received this from friend or a loved one, and you were one of the people that thought you didn't believe in chiropractic, you owe it to yourself to have a chiropractic evaluation. It's not hard to do, just pick up the phone and call the office. We'll sit down with you and hear any of your concerns. We'll walk you through the entire process, and then we will discuss things in ways that you can understand them.

At that point you can make an informed decision about whether you receive chiropractic care or not. You owe it to yourself. Your life is too important not to check out chiropractic. Don't delay one more minute. Give us a call.

Dr. Daria receives award from American Legion

Since September 2015, Dr. Daria Messina has been donating her time to "The Run for the Fallen".

Military members from Joint Base McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst and other locations across the US come together in September and embark on a 225+ mile journey to honor every New Jersey service member who died during the period of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Each mile is dedicated to a fallen NJ Hero.

Dr. Daria has been volunteering her services by checking and adjusting the core runners and Gold Star families and was recently presented with a Certificate of Appreciation.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care?

Most people would answer, "to help with back or neck pain."

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!

And while many times this is true in individuals getting regular chiropractic care, it is never the reason why a chiropractor sees a patient.

Regular chiropractic care leads to a better quantity of life and better quality of life.

Chiropractic is best when not used as a pain reliever. Chiropractic is best used to help every man, woman and child express their full physical, chemical and emotional potential.

Using chiropractic just for pain is like buying an iPhone just for the calculator!

The purpose of chiropractic

The purpose of non therapeutic chiropractic (NTC) is to help people get more out of life by keeping the body as free as possible from vertebral subluxation throughout its lifetime.

Vertebral subluxation, when it exists, is:

1. Always a negative which limits the body's ability to live up to its full potential.

2. A huge limitation on EVERY facet of human performance.

3. Cumulative damaging that is to say, the longer you have it the more damage it does, until eventually some damage can become permanent. So that even after the causative subluxation is corrected, damage remains forever, as a negative or destructive survival value. It should therefore be corrected as soon as possible after it occurs.

4. Not usually manifested and therefore not discernable to the person whom has it.

5. Can come from a relatively minor trauma, especially in the very young.

6. The one negative in our individual lives that we can easily conquer. We can't individually do much about our environment concerning the ozone layer, pesticides and preservatives, world poverty, microwaves, epidemic and pandemic disease or many other negative factors. But living without subluxation is something we can easily accomplish for ourselves and our loved ones.

Thank you to our colleague Tom Gregory, DC for this article.

Congratulations to the winners!

Congratulations to the winners of the “Guess the number of chocolate kisses” contest, Tiffany O and Christine W.

They each guessed 264. The actual number was 266.
