ILL HEALTH ANYONE?

ILL HEALTH ANYONE?

  Many people think chiropractic is about bones, especially spinal bones.

But the FACT is we’re much more interested in nerves.

In particular, the nerve messages that travel between the brain & the body and from the body back to the brain.

 

Any type of disruption can DISTORT or disturb the integrity of the controlling and regulating messages from the brain.

The result can be ill health.

Because the nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body, chiropractic care can help a wide variety of health problems.

Maybe you know someone who has been told that it’s “all in their head” or that they’ll have to “learn to live with it.”

Worse, someone who thinks they have a MUSCLE RELAXER… shortage!

Send them OUR way. We’ll be more than happy to check out their nervous system and find out if it’s functioning correctly. Call Lisa now!

Why call anyone?

November 13, 2012 by

“Why would you ask someone to check your house, if it wasn’t burning down?”

 

Why Call Anyone?

   You wouldn’t ask the fire department in east county to run over and ‘blow out’ a candle you had burning on your kitchen table, would you? You wouldn’t call an electrician and pay him $75 to change a light bulb that just burned out in your bathroom would you?

 

Those are very simple tasks that you probably do right now, so why do patients, (young and old alike) call on medical specialists to ‘heal’ and ‘fix’ their health problems – after years of neglect and abuse?

 

It’s probably because they don’t understand how the body works. My belief is that OVERKILL is the ‘norm’ in today’s medical world. They over TEST, over DIAGNOSE, and many times, over TREAT you with lots and lots of drugs, all for the sake of doing a thorough job. I’ve always said, “If you’re taking drugs, and they make you healthy, why aren’t you healthy then?”

 

It reality – it all boils down to FEAR.

 

The greatest asset you have is realizing the power you have INSIDE your body. Your body is SUPER SMART and it’s really the only thing that actually heals you. Cut yourself, and don’t do anything. You’ll still heal.

 

Here’s what most people miss. Your body heals itself better… when there is no interference.  If your nervous system is clear, you have the best chance of getting well faster and sooner.  Your body is capable of blowing out the ‘flame’ (the inflammation and sickness) all by itself.  All you have to do is make sure there is no nerve interference. Make sure you’re getting checked regularly at this office. You could have some non-symptomatic disc lesions.

Is Your ‘Neck Pain’ Really Serious?

October 30, 2012 by

Is Your ‘Neck Pain’ Serious?

   When is a pain in the neck more than just a pain in the neck?

When is it the sign that something more serious may be involved?

   Typically, neck pain is caused by a muscle strain, and one side of the neck may experience more pain more than the other. But when neck pain is accompanied by other symptoms, it may be cause for concern.

For example, neck pain with vomiting and a stiff neck may indicate meningitis. If you cannot touch your chin to your chest and experience drowsiness, confusion and/or sensitivity to bright lights – call a medical doctor right away.

Neck pain with weakness in the arms and tingling in the fingers may indicate a herniated disc, which is pressure on a nerve root due to a narrowing of the spinal cord canal. Call my office immediately, we can help you here at Richter Chiropractic.

Neck pain and trouble moving your head without pain? This could signal fibromyalgia, a condition that causes pain in your muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons. It could also be a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that affects your joints, particularly those in your feet, knees and hands.

Neck pain after a traffic accident is usually referred to as “whiplash,” because the neck, when you are in a car that is hit, tends to snap suddenly forward and then backward, causing what is known as cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome. Again call my office in El Cajon immediately following an accident, no matter how minor.

Most people experience neck pain at some time in their lives. I’ve received training that helps me to locate the causes of your neck pain, restoring normal mobility in your neck and other affected body parts.

In addition, I’ll determine whether you have a relatively minor issue, or whether you require a more intense treatment plan. Please advise us regarding any neck pain you are experiencing, whether or not the pain is severe. Your pain may start out SMALL, but it can get really bad, and this usually happens late at night or on the weekends, so CALL ME NOW if you have pain or some of the symptoms I mentioned.

After you call, I’ll examine you thoroughly. I try to restore normal feeling and function in your neck and other affected body parts as quickly as possible. Continued care will help ensure that the muscles and joints in your neck and back remain in optimal working condition to keep you living life to your fullest potential, without restriction. Pain is something that you never want to cover up before you find out what’s causing it.

Disc lesions are serious. If you have neck pain or any other types of pain, call my office now. Chiropractors are experts at being able to distinguish different types of neck problems, so make that call or give this to a friend that needs assistance. We are here in east county San Diego for one thing: To help you.

So Call Today! 619-670-7500

Are Your Organs Diseased?

October 16, 2012 by

Medical Study PROVES:

“Nerve Pressure LEADS To DISEASED ORGANS!!!”

 This is something that everyone here in the greater San Diego area will want to read.

If you have any children, grandchildren, or even just friends, you need to read this.   This is a factual study that explains in simple terms – why your spinal care at this office in El Cajon is so important.

At the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine, Dr. Henry Windsor, an M.D. on autopsy of over 150 people demonstrated that diseased organs were the result of spinal nerve pressure in over 95% of diseased organs located. This included the heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines, etc. Dr. Windsor proved by tracing the nerves from the diseased organs he located on autopsy back to the spine and found that spinal stress areas (spinal bones out of place pinching nerves) were present 95% of the time.

What this means is this. If you have any nerve pressure in your spine, anywhere, whatever organ those nerves innervate or connect to – will become diseased if left unchecked. Get checked today here at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon.

Nerve pressure is slight in most cases, but that slight pressure reduces the efficiency of that impinged/pinched nerve by 60%, and that is with just the weight of a quarter. If you’re not getting your spine checked regularly, and working at restoring motion in your spine, having your adjustments regularly, you’re asking for major trouble.

Chiropractic and Polio?

October 3, 2012 by

Dr. Richter, a chiropractor in east county San Diego, wants to share a true story with you.

In the early 1950s, Winifred Gardella was a poster child for the March of Dimes. Her picture was published in the newspapers to raise huge sums of money for the March of Dimes inSan Francisco. Nationally, her image raised millions of dollars to help fight the dreaded crippler, POLIO. Her sad, innocent face and her tiny body supported on crutches and leg braces, made many Americans reach into their pockets to donate.

But the March of Dimes couldn’t help Winifred. After two and a half years, under their doctor’s expert care, her parents were told: “There is no hope.”

Despite this dire prediction, her grandparents were determined to find a cure.

They were not about to accept the opinion of so-called “medical experts.” They decided to choose their own health care approach and took Winifred to Dr. Lewis Robertson, a chiropractor.

In less than six months of having her nerve interference corrected under Dr. Robertson’s care, Winifred Gardella threw away her crutches and braces and went for a walk with her chiropractor.

She’s been walking ever since!

Wow. Chiropractic works!! Let’s get those you know who are sick and suffering a chance to get well.

Have them call Mary right now and set an appointment for FREE consultation and exam with Dr. Mace to see if we can help. Thank you.

Your Nervous System

September 24, 2012 by

The Spinal Column

What is it really?  Chiropractors are often called “back doctors.” Actually, they have NOTHING to do with the back itself!  They work on the spinal column — one of the most important and complex components of the human nervous system.

The Nervous System

The human body is a remarkable thing. At any given moment, it performs hundreds of thousands of individual functions — circulating and purifying blood, turning fuel (food) into energy, maintaining proper internal temperature, taking in oxygen, and all the other operations which keep us alive and healthy.  But Dr. Richter has noticed that we take it for granted.

Guided by the knowledge our bodies are born with — our Innate Intelligence — every cell and organ sends and receives messages to and from the brain.

In fact, the brain acts like a central communication depot, processing millions of messages every second. These messages, relayed as electrical impulses, are sent out over nerves the way phone calls travel along telephone wires.

A thick braid formed by BILLIONS of these nerves is attached to the brain and extends down from the base of the skull.

This is the spinal cord.

Smaller braids branch off from the cord. These braids divide again and again into tiny nerve fibers and fill the entire body, going to each cell, organ and tissue.

Every human being has an estimated 15 billion nerve cells. All send and receive messages as nerve impulses through the spinal cord. What we do here at this clinic is make sure those 15 billion nerve cells are working at their optimum. Your body does the healing. We just remove the interferences. That’s all. Your body does the rest.

Call Mary today at Richter Chiropractic and send in a friend or family member who is sick and suffering. Chiropractic works!

Fall Now Pain Later?

May 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

YES!  You can have a fall now and the pain might not come until months later.

Almost two years ago, a patient of mine from El Cajon was working as a hostess in  a local restaurant in order to pay rent during graduate school.

One late October afternoon, she slipped walking from the back kitchen on her way to the dining rooms and her head hit the thick molding halfway down the wall behind her.  She jumped up in shock and shook it off.  She took some aspirin and went back to work.  Eventually the pain and bruises went away.

One morning in late February she woke up and couldn’t move her head to the left, necessitating keeping it cocked to the right.  She was in so much pain that she made an immediate appointment with our office here in El Cajon to get her spine checked and adjusted.  I adjusted everything including her jaw and wondered how this happened.  She shrugged, but when her mom mentioned her fall months earlier, it was confirmed as the cause.

Have you (or anyone you know) experienced a hard fall or do you (or they) have a prolonging ache?  Look deeper into chiropractic as a source of relief and help.

At this El Cajon chiropractic office we primarily adjust patient’s spines due to complaints of back, neck or joint pain, and headaches using a drug-free approach to healing.

We here at Richter Chiropractic are skilled in aligning the spinal bones and the tissues of your body – especially those along the spine – in order to push air bubbles out of the tissue (this is the “pop” that is heard) to allow for greater circulation and better range of movement of the joints.

This office in El Cajon has been a big help for many suffering from annoying pain or stiff neck syndrome.  We can help you too.  Just give us a call for your free initial exam and consultation. 619-670-7500.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

May 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in l Cajon refers to a variety of symptoms, including numbness, tingling and pain in the hand, wrist and arm and associated weekness or wasting away your hand muscles that are supplied by your median nerve.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when tendons inyour wrist become inflamed after being aggravated.

A tunnel of bones and ligaments inyour writs narrows, pinching your nerves that reach your fingers and the muscle at the base of your thumb.

We’ve seen many such patients here at Richter Chiropractic.  Often, when there is a misalignment of one or more of your spinal bones in the neck, the brain is not able to send a strong, steady nerve current to your arm and hand.

This imperfect nerve flow can cause an inflammation or swelling of your median nerve, which is easily irritated within your wrist by repetitive movement.

The result is the numbness, tingling pain, and weekness associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

While there is little agreement in the medical community in El Cajon as well as worldwide about the causes, there is a possibility that we can help.  Chiropractic care could be the help you need.

We Need To Evaluate Your Pain

Through gentle chiropractic manipulation, we at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon can realign the spinal bones in your neck, relieving the pressure on your affected nerves, allowing strong nerve current to flow from your brain to the affected area.

This is the best way to take care of pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Some people in El Cajon do not have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but a pinched nerve.  Why go through surgery if it’s not necessary?  Call Barbara today to make your appointment to be checked!
