Most people think of a chiropractor is a back and neck doctor. Which makes sense, because when you have back pain or neck pain, people typically go see the chiropractor. However, this assumption would be incorrect. Chiropractors are very good at helping with back and neck pain, but it’s not what they specialize in. That’s because chiropractors are doctors of the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and nerves that come out from it. It just so happens the spinal cord and nerves run from your neck down to your tailbone. If your nervous system was housed in your arm, then chiropractors would most likely be thought of as arm doctors, because that’s where they would be focusing most of their attention. When there is pressure on your nervous system, you can sometimes have neck pain or back pain as a result. But you can also have headaches, ear infections, constipation, or digestive issues too. Your nervous system runs everything in your body. So, most patients who get adjusted notice many more benefits than just pain...

The purpose of today’s blog is to give some insight into the thought process behind Hands For Life. The whole idea started with a collective goal amongst chiropractors. We wanted to start an organization that would bring chiropractic care to those who couldn’t otherwise afford it. Since the original idea began, we have added to that vision to include other goals we are set on having come to fruition. Quality healthcare is difficult to come by in third-world countries. Between lack of clean drinking water and other sanitation issues, disease spreads easily and profusely through the population. Health care of any kind is extremely important in these communities and unfortunately, sometimes isn’t available. More specifically, there is almost certainly no access to chiropractic care in these poor areas. We understood the need for this service in these countries because of our close proximity to Tijuana, Mexico. The border between where we live and Tijuana is only about 45-minutes. As Americans we are blessed to live in a place full of so much prosperity. However, just a drive away is one of the most distressed communities in the entire world. We couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t take some of our abundance and give to those in need. Hands For Life was formed to help those who need the care the most, but just can’t afford the...

Do you go to the dentist? If you answered that “yes”, then I have a follow-up question. Why do you go? The reason the majority of people go to the dentist is for a cleaning and to make sure they don’t have any cavities. We take care of our teeth very well. In fact, most people go routinely just to make sure no problems or issues arise with their teeth. Do you go to the chiropractor routinely to have your nervous system checked for problems? Understand why that’s critical to your health. The thing about your teeth is if they get bad enough, the worst-case scenario is we can replace them. The problem with using that approach for your nervous system is if there is a problem, you can’t just replace your spinal cord. Like the cavities in your teeth, the problem areas in your nervous system, which we call subluxations, don’t get better on their own, they get worse. So, someone may have two subluxations which are contributing to digestive problems and low-back pain. But if they don’t do anything about them, those symptoms may turn into more serious issues like high blood pressure or diabetes. Why take the risk? Our teeth can always be replaced, our nervous system can’t. Get checked by a chiropractor trained to locate and correct subluxations. And make sure your greatest asset, your health, will be there when you need...

What does a healthy nervous system mean for you? Hands For Life has 3 main areas of focus, and one of them is to help the financial hard-shipped population achieve an efficient nervous system. The reason a healthy nervous system is so important is because it’s what runs everything in your body. No cell or tissue goes un-touched by your nervous system. Without your nervous system, your heart wouldn’t know when or how to beat, your lungs wouldn’t be able to expand to allow you to breathe, and your muscles wouldn’t be able contract to help you lift your arm. When your nervous system is functioning correctly, then your body is able to perform all the things it needs to do. It also should be able to fight off any virus, bacteria, or disease. However, when the nervous system is compromised, or not working efficiently, then our body begins to break down. We believe everyone on planet earth should have their nervous system checked for interference or issues. If that was the case our world would be much better...

Most chiropractors get into the profession because they enjoy helping others. They find a greater purpose in serving humanity. This selflessness is found all over the chiropractic profession. In fact, it’s hard to find another profession as dedicated to serving others as chiropractic has been.
