The Chiropractic Evolution

The Chiropractic Evolution represents for me, everything I needed to know to prove that Chiropractic is essential for getting people healthy. Like many of you, I was introduced to Chiropractic through pain and suffering. As a young boy growing up in Clifton, New Jersey, my grandmother took me to her Chiropractor when I had problems with my neck. Later on, in high school, I suffered permanent damage to my spine playing football. My Chiropractor was the one that helped me through those injuries and suggested that I become a Chiropractor.

Every Day Miracles

Becoming a Chiropractor was just the beginning of my “Evolution”. After 14 years in practice and working with thousands of patients, I have seen what I could only explain as miracles happen both in my Clifton, NJ office and the offices of my colleagues. Not only were people healing and recovering from back and neck pain, but “seemingly unrelated” and serious health issues were going away! I started to ask my self, “why”?

This Doctors Evolution

Dr. Plasker (author of The 100 Year Lifestyle) with Dr. Moore

As far back as Chiropractic school, I was taught about the amazing healing aspects of the body, and how having a healthy spine and nervous system was important for your health. Now that I starting seeing it first hand, on a daily bases, for over 14 years, I needed to know for sure that if was Chiropractic that was responsible.

Start Your Evolution Today

The Chiropractic Evolution contains everything that I needed to know in order to be certain that Chiropractic is an essential component to your health. I believe by reading this book, you will see your body and how it works from an entirely new perspective. My hope for you is that read it and discover everything you need to be certain to start your own healthy Evolution!

Over the past few months I have been wrapping up my book, “The Chiropractic Evolution”. The Chiropractic Evolution is a response to a need for a complete turn around in our health care system. It is time for a Revolution in health care based on a complete Evolution in the way we look at our health. We need not look far for this new model of thinking, since core Chiropractic Principles have never changed, and are over 100 years old.
The Chiropractic Evolution looks at how our current system is broken, unsustainable and focuses only on sick care. Approaching  your body as its own health care system and having it function optimally throughout your lifetime is where your Chiropractic Evolution will begin.

Look for the release of The Chiropractic Evolution this September.

Interference to communication causes a breakdown in your body’s function.
If you place hands over your ears and begin speaking, you will be interfering with a of part of your nervous system to function properly. You obviously can’t hear as well. What would be the easiest way to remove this interference?”
Suppose I was remodeling your house and I cut or nicked your telephone lines or your electrical wires inside the wall with one of my tools? What would happen to your lamps? Appliances? Telephone?
When subluxation occurs the result is like static on your phone line or loss of electrical power. The interference results in a loss of function.
Suppose we disrupted the nerve supply to your heart, how do you think that would affect the function of your heart?
Since subluxations interfere with your ability to function properly, Removing subluxation restores function. At my office, On Track Chiropractic Center, we check everyon for Subluxations and remove them so your body can function free of interferance.

Subluxations involve the nerves, muscles, and spinal bones, and are primarily a disturbance of the nerves. Subluxations affect the nerves, spinal muscles, and spinal bones, but to which of these subsystems do you think that damage can be the most serious?
In this video I explain how, although the bones and mucles are very important, when damaged, it is the nerves that are the most serious. Your bones can do very little wthout muscles moving them, and muscles can do very little without nerves telling them what to do. Your nerves are the Master System of the body, controlling every function. You cannot live without nerve supply.
Subluxations cause interferance to the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Chiropractic care finds and removes Subluxation in your spine so you can function free of interferance. You cannot be healthy with a Subluxated spine and nerve system.

Subluxation Part I

courtesy of firestardc

Over the next few weeks, I will be explaining how Subluxations to your nervous system interfere with your capacity to be healthy.  Your brain and spinal cord make up your central nervous system.  You nervous system is the master system of the body, controlling all of its functions.  Vertebral Subluxations are when vertebral bones become mis-aligned, putting pressure on your spinal cord and nerves. Pressure on your nerves, caused by vertebral subluxation, slow down the flow of nerve impulses traveling to every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.  You cannot be healthy when you have subluxation present in your spine.  At On Track Chiropractic Center, in Clifton, NJ, my main purpose is to find and removeVertebral Subluxations so you can experience a truly healthy life.

A few months ago Agnes came to On Track Chiropractic Center in Clifton, NJ after having a severe allergic reaction from the medicine she was prescribed for her back pain. By the time she came into my office Agnes has been suffering with daily back pain for over 6 months. She was doubtful that she would ever be out of pain and enjoy the quality of life that she was used to. Among her concerns was having to cancel her vacation to Hawaii that she had been looking forward to.
I asked Agnes when was the last day that she could cancel her trip without being charged. She said 4 weeks. I asked her give Chiropractic care a chance, and allow her body to heal the right way over the following 4 weeks before she cancelled her trip.
I am pleased to announce that Agnes not only was able to go to Hawaii (for a month!), but continues to be pain free. More important than that is she now understands how important it is her health to have a healthy spine and nervous system.

While reading The Clifton Journal (my local paper)  I came across a comment in the Sound Off section pertaining to Health Care.  This particular gentleman suggested that removing Chiropractic Care from health care would solve our countries Health Care crisis.  Your can read more about his grand plan here.

My Chiropractic Response

Below is the response that I sent in to the Clifton Journal.  I thought it was scary that someone had such a strong oppinion on something he had no evidence about. 

Although I applaud Mr. .Doninianni’s efforts to minimize our country’s current health care crisis, I am obligated to point out that his “easy way to reduce health care costs” has no factual credibility. I would hate for your readers to be mis-informed by false generalities so I have included some actual facts that prove the contrary;

The Real Facts About Chiropractic

courtesy of the|G|™

1. Study done on Senior Citizens Over 65 Years of Age had “maintenance care” for 5 years or longer:
• 50% fewer medical provider visits.
• 31% of national average for health care services.
• 95.8% felt care “considerably” or “extremely” valuable.
Rupert, Manello and Sandefur. JMPT, 2000, 23(1):10.

2. Paid costs for episodes of care initiated with a DC were almost 40% less than episodes initiated with an MD. Even after risk adjusting each patient’s costs, we found that episodes of care initiated with a DC were 20% less expensive than episodes initiated with an MD. This clearly demonstrates the savings that are possible when a patient is permitted to choose a chiropractor, rather than an MD for their care.
J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2010 (Nov); 33 (9): 640–643

3. Cost-effectiveness of Medical and Chiropractic Care for Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain
Acute and chronic chiropractic patients experienced better outcomes in pain, functional disability, and patient satisfaction. Chiropractic care appeared relatively cost-effective for the treatment of chronic LBP. Chiropractic and medical care performed comparably for acute patients.
J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2005 (Oct); 28 (8): 555–563

The fact is that many offices such as mine have created financial options with care often costing less than most people’s co-pay. We don’t even require patients to use health insurance; I think your recommendation is way off the mark.

Health Care or Sick Care?

I feel the first step in reducing health care costs should be to stop calling it Health care and start calling it Sick Care. We only use our insurance when you are sick anyway. Let’s start calling it “Sick Care” Insurance and remove this gross contradiction. Health care should be the things we do to keep our selves healthy, thereby avoiding taxing our already broken and failing “Sick Care System”. I recommend Chiropractic care as part of your Health Care routine.
Yours in Good Health,
Dr .David Moore, 
On Track Chiropractic Center

Your Nervous System is Your  Mastermind

courtesy of yepy_hardi

Since the nervous system is the most important system in the human body, doesn’t it make sense to have it checked periodically? Your brain and spinal cord comprise the master system of your body. They control and coordinate every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.  Realistically speaking, though, you probably take your car in more often for check-ups than you do your nervous system!

How Does Chiropractic Care Support Your Nervous System?

Chiropractors maintain the integrity of the bones that protect your nervous system’s control center.  According to a University of Colorado study, it only takes about the weight of a dime (8mm Hg pressure) to affect nerve function and only a 6% stretch on a nerve decreases its impulse by over 70%. You may not even feel this kind of light pressure, but it could be there and doing your body harm.

By the time you have reached adulthood you have probably had every system in your body checked: your blood, lungs, eyes, ears, nose, urinary tract, etc.  But you most likely have never had the system that runs those systems checked—the nervous system.  Furthermore, you have been conditioned to think that when something goes wrong in your body, changing its blood chemistry (blood system) is the answer; that is, you have taken medications.

How Can a Chiropractor Measure Your Nervous System?

Keeping Your Spine Healthy

Measuring your nervous system with technology has rapidly become the highest standard of care over the past decade.  Advances in Electric Myography, Thermography, Heart-rate variability, Algometry, and Digital Range of Motion have led to the ability to measure neurological efficiency. These quick, painless, non-invasive tests give you the advantage of knowing how the master system of your body is interacting with all of the other systems of your body.  Being able to quantify your overall nerve system function, your health care can be focused on improving the performance of your master system, rather than on the secondary systems it controls and coordinates.

Our Chiropractic office in Clifton, New Jersey, utilizes advanced chiropractic technology that scan your spine and deliver a computerized image of the stress and tension to your nervous system. X-rays are also very useful in detecting trauma or degeneration. Chiropractors are experts in palpation, using the hands to delve for vertebrae that are misaligned.

How Can You Have Your Nervous System Measured Today?

The most important step in becoming healthy is making sure your spine and nervous system are functioning right. Once this engine, this internal regulator, is functioning well, good health follows.  You are invited to our Clifton, NJ office for a complimentary spinal assessment.  Contact us today and make sure that your Mastermind is functioning to its full potential.
