Many people hear the word "arthritis" and don't know what it means. When they go to their medical doctor, they are told "they have arthritis and here is some drugs.There is nothing you can do".I understand the confusion because no one has explained what arthritis is and how it can be stabilized ,slowed down and maintained like any disease,pain free and without losing what you like and want to do in life.

O.K. this is what is really going on. Joints in your body move. That is their purpose. When a joint gets irritated from a)accident b)structural defects[scoliosis or any genital defect]c)neglect/ no spinal alignments d)poor posture,poor sitting habits,slouching or one sided activity or work, they get inflamed.The joint thinks to itself "If I just don't move, everything will be O.K."

The result is that any joint with this background begins to form a bridge,called a spur, and if in the spine ,the disc begins to wear away from the irritation and with other joints in the body ,the cartilage begins to wear away .This produces more inflammation and eventually you begin to have pain .That pain can be 30 years later. Mostly what people notice is a decrease in their range of motion or very minor ,come and go pain with some activities.You body is giving you signals which is a smart time to begin to address.

My office reverses the irritation with putting the joints into a neutral postion and strengthening the muscles around the joints to create the best joint possible. If one does this habitually ,your joints lives a long and healthy life .If this is not done, the joints wear out faster like a speeding train.

It is your choice how you want to age!!!!

A car accident can be very deceptive.It could be you don't feel any pain or headaches for weeks or you feel you can't be hurt because your car sustained little damage.People react differently than plastic ,metal or glass.An immediate chiropractic exam is essential.Specific chiropractic spinal adjustments are necessary because they realign joints thrown out of position and restore normal motion to assure proper healing.
At our office, we incorporate massage and eventually strengthening so you will not re-injury yourself.That is sadly missing in medical care for whiplash as is correcting vertebae that got displaced in the accident.
You might have a constant headache ,dizziness ,neck or back pain ,arm or leg pain.
If you have an accident, get yourself to our office to get the best care available and to make sure you get all care necessary to get you back to a healthy state.

Children with ADHD are often found to be vaccine injured and/or the victims of suppressive care - including the use of antibiotics and other drugs.
That may be a contributing factor to the high numbers of children with neurological and learning disorders, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, asthma and other such problems.
It would be better for these children to get under chiropractic care, to be placed on a nutrient-dense natural, organic diet and to be tested for heavy metal toxicity.

In addition to chiropractic care, children can benefit from other forms of expressive care such as homeopathy, herbalism and naturopathy to cleanse their systems.

Instead MDs place these drug and/or vaccine-injured children on yet more drugs, further altering their body chemistry, driving disease deeper into the brain and adding to their toxic burden. The dangers of drug therapy for ADHD children were further highlighted on CBS News on May 26, 2009 in a report on the drug RisperdalT.

It is supposed to be used primarily for adults with severe psychological problems but MDs, in their desperate attempt to find yet another drug "magic bullet," are using it to treat ADHD in children. Last year it was prescribed more than 6.5 million times. The side effects include the development of female sex organs in young males. One boy asked his mother if he was a girl.

First American Bank and I will be having a back to school day August 22,2009 in the morning.First American is at 5000 N Elston in Chicago. I will be checking kids for scoliosis and explaining to the parents what I have found. Scoliosis always develops in a child while they are growing and if left unchecked will continue into adulthood. It is a twisting of the spine out of its normal curve and it has an adverse effect on the nervous system thus communication is impaired and the joints age faster as an adult. It can show up as headaches, allergies, lots of colds or various aches and pains in the child.
There will be other fun stuff, policemen speaking on safety and tattoos for the kids.
Join us !!
