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.

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.

A Vision for Chiropractic

courtesy of kristinmarshall

In a few recent posts I shared with you my thoughts on living in ‘A Chiropractic World’.  In those posts I asked you to imagine your life as free from subluxation and interference as possible.  Imagining the potential of a world full of subluxation-free human beings.  This idea is by no means my own, but one that is as old as Chiropractic itself.  I would like to share with you the following  famous quote from BJ Palmer, DC, known as the Developer of Chiropractic, in the early 20th century.

The Big Idea

courtesy of andreas gessl

A slip on the snowy sidewalk in winter is a small thing.

It happens to millions.

A fall from the ladder in the summer is a small thing.

It also happens to millions.

The slip or fall produces a subluxation.

The subluxation is a small thing.

The subluxation produces pressure on a nerve.

That pressure is a small thing.

That decreased flowing produces a dis-eased body and brain.

That is a big thing to that man.

Multiply that sick man by a thousand, and you control the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that man by one hundred thirty million, and you forecast and can prophesy the physical and mental status of a nation. So the slip or fall, the subluxation, pressure, flow of mental images, and dis-ease are big enough to control thoughts and actions of a nation.

Now comes a man.

And one man is a small thing.

This man gives an adjustment.

The adjustment is a small thing.

The adjustment replaces the subluxation.

That is a small thing.

The adjusted subluxation releases pressure upon nerves.

That is a small thing.

The released pressure restores health to a man.

This is a big thing to that man.

Multiply that well man by a thousand, and you step up the physical and mental welfare of a city. Multiply that well man by a hundred thirty million, and you have produced a healthy, wealthy, and better race for posterity.

So, the adjustment of the subluxation to release pressure upon nerves, to restore mental impulse flow, to restore health, is big enough to rebuild the thoughts and actions of the World.

The idea that knows the cause, that can correct the cause of dis-ease, is one of the biggest ideas known. Without it, nations fall; with it, nations rise.

The idea is the biggest I know of.

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. 

courtesy of sbolignesi

  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.

The 33 Principles of Chiropractic by Ralph W. Stephensen, D.C., Ph.C.

Ralph W. Stephenson, DC, PhC published a book in 1927 entitled the Chiropractic Textbook. In this book he stated what have come to be known as the 33 Principles of Chiropractic.  These Principles, when understood explain the unwavering truth of Chiropractic.  Enjoy.

1. The Major Premise

– A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.

2. The Chiropractic Meaning of Life – The expression of this intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic meaning of life.

3. The Union of Intelligence and Matter – Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and matter.

4. The Triune of Life – Life is a trinity having three necessary united factors, namely: Intelligence, Force and Matter.

5. The Perfection of the Triune – In order to have 100% Life, there must be 100% Intelligence, 100% Force, 100% Matter.

6. The Principle of Time – There is no process that does not require time.

7. The Amount of Intelligence in Matter – The amount of intelligence for any given amount of matter is 100%, and is always proportional to its requirements.

8. The Function of Intelligence

– The function of intelligence is to create force.

9. The Amount of Force Created by Intelligence – The amount of force created by intelligence is always 100%.

10. The Function of Force – The function of force is to unite intelligence and matter.

11. The Character of Universal Forces – The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested by physical laws; are unswerving and unadapted, and have no solicitude for the structures in which they work.

12. Interference with Transmission of Universal Forces – There can be interference with transmission of universal forces.

13. The Function of Matter – The function of matter is to express force.

14. Universal Life – Force is manifested by motion in matter; all matter has motion, therefore there is universal life in all matter.

15. No Motion without the Effort of Force

– Matter can have no motion without the application of force by intelligence.

16. Intelligence in both Organic and Inorganic Matter – Universal Intelligence gives force to both organic and inorganic matter.

17. Cause and Effect – Every effect has a cause and every cause has effects.

18. Evidence of Life – The signs of life are evidence of the intelligence of life.

19. Organic Matter – The material of the body of a “living thing” is organized matter.

20. Innate Intelligence – A “living thing” has an inborn intelligence within its body, called Innate Intelligence.

21. The Mission of Innate Intelligence – The mission of Innate Intelligence is to maintain the material of the body of a “living thing” in active organization.

22. The Amount of Innate intelligence – There is 100% of Innate Intelligence in every “living thing,” the requisite amount, proportional to its organization.

23. The Function of Innate Intelligence – The function of Innate Intelligence is to adapt universal forces and matter for use in the body, so that all parts of the body will have coordinated action for mutual benefit.

24. The Limits of Adaptation – Innate Intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body as long as it can do so without breaking a universal law, or Innate Intelligence is limited by the limitations of matter.

– The forces of Innate Intelligence never injure or destroy the structures in which they work.

26. Comparison of Universal and Innate Forces – In order to carry on the universal cycle of life, Universal forces are destructive, and Innate forces constructive, as regards structural matter.

25. The Character of Innate Forces

27. The Normality of Innate Intelligence – Innate Intelligence is always normal and its function is always normal.

28. The Conductors of Innate Forces – The forces of Innate Intelligence operate through or over the nervous system in animal bodies.

29. Interference with Transmission of Innate Forces – There can be interference with the transmission of Innate forces.

30. The Causes of Dis-ease – Interference with the transmission of Innate forces causes in coordination of disease.

31. Subluxations– Interference with transmission in the body is always directly or indirectly due to subluxations in the spinal column.

32. The Principle of Coordination – Coordination is the principle of harmonious action of all the parts of an organism, in fulfilling their offices and purposes.

33. The Law of Demand and Supply – The Law of Demand and Supply is existent in the body in its ideal state; wherein the “clearing house,” is the brain, Innate the virtuous “banker,” brain cells “clerks,” and nerve cells “messengers.”

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“!

Your Master System: The Nervous System and Chiropractic Technology

courtesy of perpetualplum

If you are going to take the ‘Get Fitter Challenge’, you are going to have to have a healthy spine and nervous system.  Last week, I had my medical examination and the systems of my body being evaluated.  This week we are acknowledging the fact that your nervous system, (Brain and Spinal Cord), is the Master System of the body, controlling and coordinating every system in the body.  Along with a typical Chiropractic examination and X-rays, we use the Insight Millennium to objectively measure your nervous system efficiency, and see the areas of your spine that can be functioning work better.

Testing Your Nervous System

Having an assessment of your nervous system allows you to establish a base line to start your journey.  Being able to quantify your nervous system with the Insight Millennium, allows you to re-evaluate your progress towards health in the months to come.  I have made it easy to have this test done free of charge, if you are a participating in the ‘Fitter by 40′ challenge.  To be an official paritcipant join the ‘Fitter You’  Facebook Group.  This will give you daily tips from some the best trainers, consultants, and coaches in the country, to help you get in the best shape of your life.  This will also qualify you for both a FREE  Insight Millenium evaluation  and a Creating Wellness Assessment System CWAS scan (more on this in our next post).

Weight Loss, Colonoscopy’s, and More,….. Oh My!

As a Doctor of Chiropractic in Clifton,NJ, I consider educating my community to be one of the most important aspects of my job.  As you can see, this blog is dedicated to helping you make the best health choices for you and your family.   If you have spent any time looking through my posts, have realized that I can identify with my patients and community when it comes to finding real solutions to real problems.   I believe it is my job to meet you where you are, and help you make better choices one step at a time.  Becoming healthier is a journey and not a destination. 

My ’Fitter by 40 Bucket List’

courtesy of klgagne76

As  I approach my 40th birthday (April 1st, 2011), I have decided to create a ‘Bucket List’ for my health.  Now I know most people might decide to go on an extravegant vaccation, buy a new car or possibly an expensive watch to mark this milestone, but that is not my style.  Instead I have decided to give myself the gift of being more Fit. I will be  making sure all of my systems are running as they should while getting in the best shape of my life by 40!

So, Why Am Sharing This With All of You?

To tell you the truth, I find all of this a little scary, so I created 2 major purposes.  The first is that I know that my goals become more attainable when I tell someone else, (in this case 1000′s of someone else’s).  The second is that I know that many people may be putting off some these  tests and goals because of  fear or procrastination .  If I can share my experiences with my ‘Fitter by 40 Bucket List’ with all of you, it just may help more of you to do the same, and even save some of your lives.  (By the way, you don’t have to be turning 40, to do this.  Committing to be healthier over the next 6-7 months is a gift you can give yourself anytime, so why not now!)

What Can You Expect Between Now and April 1st?

courtesy of Inner Icon

1.  First I will visit to my General Practitioner, Dr. Gajdos, to set up All of my Medical Screenings (Physical Exam, Colonoscopy, Prostate, Skin, etc.).  I will document all of these  and keep you posted on Everything.

2.  Nervous System Evaluation to check my nervous system function.  I will Show you the effectivness of Chiropractic care along the way.  I will use The Insight Millenium Subluxation Station (CLA).

3.  Wellness Assessment to check the degrees of Lifestyle Stress in my life. I will use before and after assessments to quantify my results and document the process.  We will use the Creating Wellnesss Assessment System (CWAS).

4.  Design a Meal Program with attainable goals to be my Fittest by 40.  I will share with you in detail how to do it youself using a simple and free meal logging website called The Daily Plate.

5.  Design a Fitness Program with attainable goals to be my Fittest  by 40.   I will keep you posted throughout my journey and share tips for you to create the same habits in your life.
