THE NERVE OF CHIROPRACTIC

The musculo-skeletal, mechanical and functional benefit of chiropractic or spinal manipulative therapy has been well documented for centuries. The benefit that human beings have received from this hands on approach has been consistent and evident for many years. The relationship between our joints and the soft tissue that helps the joints function is GOD given and chiropractic uses that innate wisdom our bodies have to help it work better to a optimal level. 

The neurological component of chiropractic is really quite simple- we have 31 pairs of spinal nerves that exit off the spinal chord through little spaces that are created between the vertebrae in our spinal column. These spaces are called foramina- our spinal nerves exit through these and branch off to send nerve signals to every part of our body including our extremities, organs, skin, and everything else in between.

So, each time you receive an adjustment you are receiving benefit to the neuor-musculo-skeletal function of your body. That is the power of a chiropractic adjustment!

A person may not feel their nervous system improving from each adjustment, since what drives most people in to see me is some kind of symptom or pain. 

But, TRUST ME- the transmission of your nervous system incredibly benefits each time I lay my hands on your bodies. 

It truly is a blessing and I feel fortunate to be your chiropractor.

Yours in good health,

Our Children Have Spines, Also.

First of all, is it really September or am I dreaming. Didn't the "winter from hell" just end, and they are calling for a worse winter? Well, we will all have to help each other as we always do. 

We sometimes forget that our children have spines also that are neglected, overworked, abused, and repetitively strained. 

As school begins, or began already, I implore you all to bring in your children for a complimentary spinal exam. It is easy to forget that there spines are overloaded. The amount of problems I have seen in the past 10 years due to "the book bags from hell"is astounding. Fortunately, some schools have gotten double books so kids don't have to constantly bring home their books. Still, it is a problem. It affects the posture and therefore function of mechanics of the vertebrae which can lead to further problems as our children get older. 

Please bring them in, my pleasure to check them. I implore all my patients that are parents to check their kids book bags and make sure they are not bringing home more then they need. Easy to do and important to follow up with. 

See you soon in the office.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Summer is Almost Gone...

Is it really August 16th today or am I dreaming? 
Didn't the "winter from hell" just end or am I dreaming?
It is amazing- time just has a way of whizzing by. It's so easy to lose focus on all the blessings we have. Certainly please always remember and never forget the blessing we all have with our amazing human bodies. It just keeps on working, the cells keep on rejuvenating, the skin/hair/heart/organs keep on working- it's GOD's plan or at least universal intelligence, mother nature and innate wisdom of our bodies. DO WE TAKE THIS FOR GRANTED OR WHAT!

Please appreciate the wonders of our bodies and continue to always help it along with good diet, exercise, chiropractic, timely Doctor checkups, fooling around, and other activities. 

Have a joyous rest of the summer. Please remember the office has moved to Fairfield Shopping Center in Exton, PA. We continue to look forward to seeing ya'll in our new office!

Yours in good health,

Forever "Not So" Young

I direct the following words of wisdom to my children's generation. My son is 26 and my daughter is 23. They are referred to as the Millennials or Generation Y (Why Generation Y- I have no idea). It is not my intention to bum you guys out but it is my responsibility to remind all you Millennials that between time, gravity, and repetition of our daily lives- your bodies will eventually start to "talk back to you." 

I just want to send this out to the Generation Y-ers to raise your consciousness about preventative thinking for your bodies. Make sure you do a decent amount of stretching before you work out hard. If you do hurt yourself, get yourself checked out to make sure nothing is really wrong. Don't wait until you have spinal issues, give your chiropractor a call to get checked out- get your posture checked. Make sure you are eating a varied nutritional diet. 

I totally understand these are things that you guys wouldn't think about because your young still. When you get to be in your 30's, the body starts to change and I want you guys to be ready for that. 

Please don't hesitate to call. We could talk about this and I could give you exercise and postural stretches to do. Learn about chiropractic and adjustments even if you are feeling ok.
These are important things and it is my responsibility to remind you about this as I do with my own children.

Continue to have a wonderful and safe summer. 

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

Keep Safe During the Summer

With all the summer activities comes potential injuries, so just a short shout out to everyone to please take care of yourself and your loved ones when your out and about: swimming, doing ocean activities, and everything else that can hurt us. 

Always remember and never forget a little forethought and some common sense can really help in preventing some mishaps. 

So go forth and enjoy your summer!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff

CH-CH-CH-CH Changes!

Changing has always been difficult for most human beings, even when we know it is the right thing to do. I want to reiterate my big change that I have done recently which is a combination of moving my office (within Exton) and downsizing a bit also. It feels good to be all comfy and cozy in my new place. Please come in and say hello, I would enjoy that!

Here are some ch-changes I recommend for y'all:

1- If you are taking too much daily medication for your chronic symptoms, it's time to change.

2- If your not listening to your body from your "weekend warrior abuse", it's time to change.

3- If your doing outside house chores for too many hours and not spreading out the work, it's time to change. 

4- If your not hugging and kissing your spouse and children enough, it's time to change. 

I'm thrilled to still be in Exton, PA and blessed to continue to give you wonderful chiropractic care. 

Thanks again!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Ray and Staff
