Try this every day:

Stand with you back flat against an uncluttered wall where there is plenty of room.  Make sure your heels, butt, shoulders and head are flush against the wall.  Next, place your hands at your side with your palms facing out and your knuckles against the wall.  Now here’s where you make the Snow Angel.  Bring your arms up over your head as if you were making a Snow Angel making sure you back and knuckles always stay flush to the wall.

Do this 2x a day with 10 repetitions each time.

Health statistics tell us that 80% of the general population suffer from lower back pain to some degree or another.  Some people have minor stiffness in the morning while others are bedridden for weeks at a time.

Today I want to focus on a simple morning stretching routine designed to take the pressure off of your lower back.  Please note, this is not a correction if you have a subluxation of one of your vertebra, but it is a help to loosen your spine and promote future spinal balance.

There are 3 stretches that should only take 3 minutes, and the best part is you don’t even have to get out of bed to do them.  So don’t be lazy and get started now:

You start of by lying on your back with your legs stretched out flat.  Bend your right leg up and grab your right knee with both hands and pull you knee as close up to your chest as possible.  At the same time, be mindful to keep your left leg flat against the bed.  Hold the right knee to your chest for 6 seconds and then switch legs.  Do this for 1 minute.  You should be able to accomplish 5 stretches with each leg.

Next, bring both knees up at the same time and pull them toward your chest with both hands as far as you can.  Then push your knees against the resistance hands and slowly let your legs win until your elbows are completely extended.  Do this 6 times where each pull and push should take 10 seconds.

Finally, pull both knees to your chest as in the previous maneuver and then lean both knees to the right for 10 seconds and then to the left for 10 seconds.  Keep in mind that your back should remain flat on the bed, while your lower spine is allowed to twist.  Again do this for just 1 minute.

Always be safe:

1. If your not my patient then make sure you consult your family chiropractor before you do any spinal exercises.
2. Stop at any point if you feel pain.
3. Know your limitations.  Do what you can do and don’t push yourself through any pain.

If you live in the NYC area and would like to come in for a NO-CAHRGE spinal screening, please feel free to call my office to schedule your appointment.  If you live outside the NYC area, also give my office a call and we will try to connect you with a chiropractor in your area.

The premise of this work is completely unique in its approach to achieving health and wellness.  Starting February 1st we will be presenting an open interactive forum on the topics of Achieving Wellness.

The Introduction:

Can you really lose a pound of body fat every 3-days?  Believe it or not gaining weight and losing weight is all about mathematics.  The more calories you eat and the less you burn (not exercising) the more weight you will gain.  The less calories you eat (to a certain number) and the more you burn during exercise, the more weight you will lose.  The point is you need to know your numbers.

The Return-to-Genesis Book will give you the formula and the exact numbers you need to know to get great results.  The reality is you can eat all day, never be hungry and still watch the pounds fall off the scale!

Can’t wait to know more…

This erudite, eloquent, and immensely thought-provoking work gets to the heart of the deepest passions and aspirations of the human heart- longevity. The desire for extended healthy life is the 21st century’s obsession. The health-lifestyle industry generates billion of dollars and yet many have not found the success they pursue.

This is indispensable reading for anyone who wants to live life above the norm and rediscover the oldest wisdom on health which is still valid for today.

The Genesis Diet is a profound authoritative work which spans the wisdom of the ages and yet breaks new ground in its approach and will possibly become a classic in this and the next generation.

This exceptional work by Dr. Joseph Vetere is one of the most profound, practical, principle-centered approaches to this subject I have read in a long time. The author’s approach to this timely issue brings a fresh breath of air that captivates the heart, engages the mind and inspires the spirit of the reader to understand and embrace the powerful principles of health found in the oldest document on earth.

The author’s ability to leap over complicated theological and metaphysical jargon and reduce complex theories to simple practical principles that the least among us can understand and apply is amazing.

This work will challenge the intellectual while embracing the laymen as it dismantles the mysterious of the soul search for good health and long life and delivers the profound in simplicity.

Dr. Vetere’s approach awakens in the reader the untapped inhibiters that retard our personal physical development and health habits, and his antidotes empower us to rise above these self-defeating, self-limiting factors to a life of exploits in spiritual, mental and physical advancement.

The author also integrates into each chapter the time-tested precepts of the Biblical wisdom, giving each principle a practical application to life making the entire process people-friendly.

Every sentence of this book is pregnant with wisdom and I enjoyed the mind-expanding experience of this exciting book. I admonish you to plunge into this ocean of knowledge and watch your life change for the better as you Rediscover and experience the life and health the Creator intended for you for the Genesis of life.

There’s nothing good about the pain of a headache.  At the least it’s annoying and at it’s worst they can be utterly debilitating.  The pain of a headache, regardless of category, is caused by an inflammation, constriction or some other type of irritation to nerve endings that surround the muscles and blood vessels in and around the skull and upper part of the neck.

The commonly promoted treatment by means of painkillers and anti-inflammatory’s can only offer some temporary relief, but in the long run can pose two serious and sometimes irreversible health problems.

First is the long-term exposure of medication. Most medications prescribed for pain relief can have damaging effects on the liver, stomach, kidney’s and other important organs and glands.

Second, if the source of the headache is never addressed, then the prolonged use of medication designed to cover up the symptoms will only allow the cause of the problem to get worse.

So what can be the cause of the problem?

Though there are many categories, most headaches can be traced back to irritation of the nerves of originating from the upper section of the neck.  Nerves that emanate from the neck (cervical spine) control and coordinate the function and activity of the muscles that surround the skull, base of the neck and shoulders.  Pressure or irritation to these nerves due to a Vertebral Subluxation can cause the above mentioned muscles to contract and go in “spasm”.  The end result can lead to a variety of pains and other symptoms.

Many patients describe the pain as crushing, throbbing, pounding or drilling, while other say the pain is blinding and nauseating.  None-the-less, the unrelenting pain of a headache can destroy your quality of life, your job performance and your overall mental disposition.

How can Chiropractic care help?

Chiropractors are the only healthcare providers who are trained, licensed and board certified to detect and correct Vertebral Subluxations (misaligned and abnormally moving vertebrae that are causing nerve irritation) of the spine.

Vertebral Subluxations can occur from a variety of reasons, including poor posture, car accidents, slips and falls, awkward work conditions, emotional stress, carrying heavy shoulder bags, plus many other stresses and injuries that have occurred over a life time including the birthing process itself.  No one is immune from developing a Vertebral Subluxation, especially active children who love the challenge of battling gravity.

Chiropractors are specifically trained to “adjust” (correct with the intention of re-establishing normal position, movement and nerve flow) Vertebral Subluxations that can be traced back to the cause of the health condition.  These “adjustments” are safe, effective, completely natural and relatively painless.  In most cases the patients describe an “adjustment” as a wonderful sensation of relief and tension reduction.

For the most part there are 4 physical causes of back pain:

1. Direct trauma due to an accident such as a slip and fall, car accident whiplash or a sports related injury.
2. Trauma can also be caused be lifting a heavy object, twisting in a compromising position or a repetitive movement of an occupational activity.
3. Poor posture habits such as they way we sit, stand or sleep.
4. Physical situations such as being overweight, a lack of exercise or over exertion.

A typical scenario: A vertebrae moves out of normal position and begins to put pressure on a spinal nerve (Vertebral Subluxation).  The pressure causes enough irritation to interfere with the communication of the nerve to the muscles and skin leading to muscle spasms and pain.  In severe cases, the nerves are so irritated that the function of the entire nerve is affected and the person may feel shooting pains, pins and needles and numbness down the legs and into the feet or from the neck, down the arms and into the hands.  If not corrected these situations can lead to muscle weakness and then eventually malfunction of the organ and glands associated with the affected nerve

The powers that be have convinced humanity that sickness can only be reversed by adding chemicals from the outside in, and if all else fails then a surgery is needed to remove the infirmity.

The TRUTH is nothing needs to be added, in actuality things need to be removed.  The primary CAUSE OF DISEASE is interference with normal function.  A poor diet interferes with normal organ and glandular function.  Stress interferes with normal hormonal blood levels, and same goes for lack of exercise, insufficient hydration, lack of rest and the introduction of foreign chemicals that disrupt normal cellular function.  But the biggest cause of DIS-EASE is neurological interference in the form of a Vertebral Subluxation Complex.

A Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) causes direct interference and disruption with the neurological communication from the brain to the body.  Neurological impulses from the brain control every function, action and coordination to every organ, muscle and gland in the body.  The VSC may (or may not) have an initial symptom of mild to severe back pain, but the true devastation occurs when the altered neurological signal diminishes the function of various organs and glands.

In short, VSC lowers the potential of health to every organ, muscle and gland in the body.  Therefore, sickness can only occur when function is diminished.

The Reality:

Before you take a pill, potion or submit to questionable surgery, first have your spine check for neurological interference.
