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.

1. How Can Chiropractic Increase Your Health? Your “Innate Intelligence” You were built to last. I’m not...

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Last week I mentioned the poem/vision of Dr. Eric Plasker’s  ’A Chiropractic World’.  The realization that I literally live in a Chiropractic World, (ex. my place of business, my family, and most people in my life are functioning free of vertebral subluxation), has had a profound impact on me.   

My ‘Mini-Obsession’

Sharing this idea with as many people as possible has been a “mini obsession” of mine lately.  As you can see in this video, I am sharing the idea of living in A Chiropractic World with hundreds of Chiropractors, Chiropractic Assistants, and their families, at the New Beginnings Chiropractic Philosophy Week-end this past week-end.  Besides last weeks blog post, I spoke about it on 30 Minutes to Living Longer, my  Blog Talk Radio show, (Click here to listen to the re-broadcast). 

Your Chiropractic World

courtesy of FlyingSinger

One reason that I am sharing this concept with you is to invite you to live in your own Chiropractic World. You don’t have to be a Chiropractor to create this experience.  First you must realize that Chiropractic removes the interference from your nervous called vertebral subluxatuion.  When subluxations are removed you will be able to both percieve and respond to the world the way God planned for you.  By sharing this with your family, friends, and everyone around you, you will see what it is like to live amongst people expressing their full potential.

The Big Idea

The Second is to fulfill a greater vision.  One of the entire planet fully reaching their full potential.  By sharing this with as many people as possible, the world would be a different place.  Like a ripple in a pond that starts with a small pebble, its effects can be global.  What would the world be like if everyone was living free from nervous system interference, fully expressing their full potential, throughout their lifetime?

My hope is that you explore the possibility of living subluxation free.  My hope is that you believe in the possibility of ‘A Chiropractic World’.  And lastly, I hope that you share this with everyone you know.

God Bless, – Dr. Dave

As I sit in my Chiropractic office in Clifton, NJ, I wonder what my life would be like if I had not been under Chiropractic Care for the past 30 years.  Not just the fact that I am healthy despite suffering permanent spinal damage in high school.  Its true Chiropractic has kept me from suffering almost certain debilitating pain and ill health.  More importantly, as a Chiropractor I get to live a different lifestyle than most.  I get to live in ‘A Chiropractic World’.

Let me explain…

You see, not only do I get to experience what it is like to have my nervous system functioning free of interference, fully expressing its innate intelligence, but I can say the same for most people in ‘My World’.  In my office, On Track Chiropractic Center, everyone I come in contact with is free of subluxation.  Can you imagine if everyone in your work environment was free nerve interference and expressing their full potential?  The same is true for my home.  Everyone in my family is under Chiropractic care, living their lives subluxation free!  Since I spend 90% if my life either, at the office or at home, I can say that I live almost entirely in A Chiropractic World. 

This makes me think of a poem written by my friend, Chiropractor, and Best selling author Dr. Eric Plasker titled ‘A Chiropractic World’.   I would like to share it with you….

A Chiropractic World

I live in a Chiropractic World

A world free from drugs and disease

A world free from pain and suffering

A world free from poverty and war

A world free from anger and hostility

A world free from chemical imbalance  and ill mental health

A world free from vertebral subluxation

I live in a Chiropractic World

A world full of love and happiness

A world full of health and vitality

A world full of peace and harmony

A world full of children laughing and playing

A world full of prosperity and vision

A world full of life and energy

I live in a Chiropractic World!

                       -Dr. Eric Plasker

Acupuncture is a great addition to the services offered at On Track Chiropractic Center.   Chiropractic care is concerned with finding and removing subluxations in your spine and nervous system.  Adding acupuncture to your care supports you living to your optimum health potential.  For thousands of years Acupuncture has been a staple in oriental medicine.  You can try it now at On Track Chiropractic Center in Clifton, NJ today!

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a medical practice originating in China. Acupuncture employs small needles to influence the circulation of energy and blood. It is believed that when the body is sick, it is caused by an imbalance in energy or a block in the flow of energy and blood. Acupuncture can restore the balance of energy and remove the blockage by treating specific points along “meridians” in the body.

For your reference, the World Health Organization (WHO), recognizes acupuncture as an effective medical treatment and has issued a list of diseases amenable to acupuncture treatment. And, the Food and Drug Administration classifies acupuncture needles as “safe and effective medical devices”.

Following symptoms, diseases, and conditions are treated by acupuncture:

 , migraines, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, healing body, detoxification, obesity and etc..fibromyalgiaLower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, knee pain, frozen shoulder, sprains, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome,

Here, Dr, Kwon will open a new gate of wellness with his acupuncture technique, Sa-Am acupuncture, one of the oldest acupuncture techniques in the world. 

Sa-Am Acupuncture

Also known as traditional Korean 4-Needleacupuncture, Sa-Am is a complex and comprehensive theory of diagnosis and acupuncture treatment emphasizing the interrelationships between the Five Elements. It was developed by Master Sa-Am, a physician and monk of the Chosun Dynasty in Korea. For over 400 years, the art and science of this technique has remained lost and hidden until recent discovery enabled its recovery and study.

Sa-am theory utilizes a special category of points known as Shu Points and applies these points according to the Generating and Controlling Sequences of the Five Elements theory. Only four points are chosen. For example, two points are from the primary Channel being treated, and two from the Grandmother channel according to a tonifying (strengthening) and sedating (lessening) technique.

It is the simplest acupuncture technique using 5 points located in the extremities under elbow and knee so, it is safer without harmful treatment damaging internal body organs.

Reflections and Revelations From a Decade of Radical Change

“Dr. David Moore is a 100 Year Lifestyle Affiliate Office. This newsletter is reprinted with permission of The Family Practice, Inc.” 

Courtesy of Bình.KidEviL

December 2010 marks not only the end of another year but the end of the decade. Over the past ten years we have seen cell phones and the Internet change the way we communicate, access information and interact with each other. We have also seen economic ups and downs and a continuing health care debate that never seems to lead anywhere. 

   Think about your last ten years and the decade for the people that you love. How is your health? Theirs? Are you happy? Are you making progress in living the lifestyle you want or are you on a treadmill leading nowhere? 

Are You Looking Forward to the Next Decade?

   Look at your family photos of parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Do you like the way they aged? The choices you make today about what you eat and drink, how you move and take care of your spine and nervous system will affect your life now and for the decades to come.

  If somebody said to you ten years ago, “How do you want your health to be in 2011?” you may have thought they were crazy. Well, that decade has passed.  2020, believe it or not, is right around the corner. Just like you may be saying, “I cannot believe it is 2011!” that is how you will probably feel ten years from now. What is it going to take for you to make the changes that you know you need to make to ensure the quality lifestyle that you deserve?  

Are You Setting Your Health Goals?

   When it comes to your health, it is time to set commit to new goals. If your goal has been to lose weight and you have been on a roller coaster then don’t just go on another diet. Make healthy eating a part of your lifestyle. When it comes to exercise, if you have been a “weekend warrior” it is time to make fitness a part of your lifestyle each day.   Pay attention to your posture and the length of time that you sit at your desk, in the car or on the couch.  Excessive sitting can cause spine and nervous system problems that may affect your whole body. 

Thomas Edison Had a Chiropractic Vision!

courtesy of artsturdevant

 In January 1903, the Newark Advocate published the Wizard Edison, which produced Thomas Edison’s famous quote, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”  It is 2011 and the future is now. It is time to make this statement your reality. 

   Through these newsletters, the educational information we provide and the chiropractic services that care for your frame and impact your entire body through your nervous system, we will strive to help you to be younger, healthier and stronger in a decade than you are right now. Will more stress get you there? How about more sitting, more driving or more drugs? Of course not. 

It is Time for You to Get Serious about Your Future

Get your copy of The 100 Year Lifestyle

 If up until now you have been a crisis oriented person, stop. If you are on a weight gain, weight loss roller coaster, stop. If you only get adjustments when you have pain or are sick, it is time to make the Critical Transition from Crisis Care to Lifestyle Care and take your health to the next level.

    How old is the oldest grandparent in your family who ever lived? Remember, you have their genes and you will most likely be here for another decade, or maybe even two or three at least. It is time to maximize your health and live your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle. 

   You are the one who must be responsible for your health, not the government or your insurance company. They may or may not help. The laws may change and you may change insurance companies but no matter who is in office, it is your responsibility to take care of you. 

   Don’t wait for a crisis. Make the next year and the next decade the best years of your life.

Thanks Momma!

Looking back at my 30 years of Chiropractic care in Clifton, NJ, I have to thank my grandmother for introducing me to Chiropractic.  I would not enjoy the health or the life that I am expressing today without having been under Chiropractic Care for over three quarters of my life!

Could  I Have Taken Chiropractic for Granted?

courtesy of Darla1034

Have you ever caught yourself taking some of the blessings in your life for granted?  I recently had a revelation that I may have been taking my Chiropractic care for granted.  Let me explain. 

In my Chiropractic office in Clifton, NJ, I see many people coming in with various subluxation related issues.  It is  interesting to see people who have never been under Chiropractic care, expressing various degrees of health at the expense of their vetebral subluxations.  It is amazing to see those same peoples health sky rocket to their full potential once their subluxations are removed. 

I Should be Shouting Chiropractic from the Roof Tops

You would think that after 13 years of seeing this time and time again, as well as being a patient myself for over 30 years that I would be shouting Chiropractic praises from the roof-tops.  The truth is that I may have taken Chiropractic for granted.  Let me explain even further. 

Here is My Chiropractic Story

courtesy of jchc

When I was 18, I suffered a fracture in my neck as well as 2 disc herniations in my back while playing high school football.  The severity of both of those injuries as well as related permanent arthritic changes to my spine resulted in me seeking more frequent Chiropractic care than the average person.  This is how I became so interested in Chiropractic care. I practically lived at my Chiropractors office (It helped that my Mom was his office manager).  I often think about what my life would be like if I was not introduced to Chiropractic at that time.  I am certain from my MRI’s,  and seeing people with less spinal damage than I have and being recommended for surgery, that conventional medicine would have had me under the knife years ago.  If I had not been under Chiropractic care for the last 30 years I would not be enjoying the lifestyle that I enjoy today.

What Chiropractic has Given Me

courtesy of Office Mike

Its more than just avoiding more breakdown.  I have patients that come in to my office with far less spinal damage than I have, but have been subluxated for years and experience major loss of health.  You see when subluxations are present in the spine they interfere with your nerves ability to carry out normal function.  When the organs and systems in your body get the wrong signals, you can’t be healthy.  So even though I have had permanent damage to the bones in my spine for a long time, I have never gone a long time without having that pressure removed from my nerves (Chiropractic adjustment).  If you have subluxations and have never been adjusted, then you are not  expressing your full health.

Thank God for Chiropractic

So as I look at my life, I have to be grateful for the impact Chiropractic has had on my life.  Not only am I able to enjoy a level of fitness and longevity beyond most people half my age,  but I have the confidence that I will enjoy the rest and best years of my life with the people that I love, ( family, patients, and community).  I have spent a disproportionate  amount of time  talking about Fitness, Nutrition, Wellness etc, and  not put enough emphasis on Chiropractic, which has save my life.  That is all about to change.   I cannot stress enough how important it is to have your spine and nervous system checked for vertebral subluxation.  It is my mission to check as many people as possible for vertebral subluxation and free your nervous system to express your full health potential.   I invite you to remove whats been holding you back from living the life that you deserve!  It’s time for you to get “On Track“!

Chiropractor Gets Checked for Heart Disease

Chiropractic and Heart Disease?

courtesy of naturalhomecures34

If you have been following this blog over the past few months, then you know about my challenge for you to join myself and others on the ‘Fitter You’ Facebook Group and join our journey towards a healthier you.  I have also decided to journal my progress with you in order to both, enourage you, and maintain a level of accountability for myself.  This week I completed a 3 visit process with Cardiologist,  Dr. Michael Schwarz.  I  recommend Dr. Schwarz and his practice  in Bloomfield, NJ.  Because heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans, I recommend having a complete cardiovascular work up, even if you “feel fine”.  As you will read below, choosing your “Health Care Team” while  you are healthy, can mean the difference between Life and Death!

Health Care Hierarchy of The 100 Year Lifestyle:

Get your copy of The 100 Year Lifestyle

On page 96 of Dr. Eric Plaskers book The 100 Year Lifestyle, he describes the 3 levels of the Health Care Hierarchy.  They are as follows:

1.  Self Care:  What you must do for yourself to keep your mind, body, and spirit healthy and functioning at your highest level, which nobody can do for you. 

2.  Health Care:  What you must do for yourself to keep your mind, body, and spirit healthy and functioning at your highest level – utilizing the skills of a trained health care professional.

3.  Crisis Care:  What you must do for yourself to recover from an injury or illness that requires the support of a crisis care health specialist.

The #1 Killer in the United States is Heart Disease

courtesy of sketchydetail

According to the CDC (center of disease control), heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. People of all ages and backgrounds can get the condition.

• In 2006, 631,636 people died of heart disease. Heart disease caused 26% of deaths—more than one in every four—in the United States.¹
• Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2006 were women.¹
• Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease. In 2005, 445,687 people died from coronary heart disease.²
• Every year about 785,000 Americans have a first heart attack. Another 470,000 who have already had one or more heart attacks have another attack.³
• In 2010, heart disease will cost the United States $316.4 billion.³ This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity.
