When Was Your Last Adjustment?

When Was Your Last Adjustment?

   

 

   “That’s what I ask a patient that comes in after months without care?” What have you been up to and why haven’t you been here to get your spine aligned?  Here in east county I can help.

    I know this may come as a shock, but your nervous system, the system I adjust you for, ‘controls’ every cell, tissue and organ in your entire body.

    That means if you have a misaligned vertebrae at multiple levels, you have some real health issues, even if you have NO SYMPTOMS.

    I find, here in El Cajon, that pain is always the last thing to come, and the FIRST thing to go.

 The real problem is most people don’t understand

or maybe they just forgot.

    Make sure you get your spine checked on a regular basis. If not, you’re walking around with a compromised nervous system.

    And a nervous system that is compromised means big health trouble in the near future. Don’t let that happen to you or any of your loved ones. Schedule an appointment for a check up today.

What is Spinal Decay?

January 3, 2013 by

What Is Spinal Decay

Like tooth decay, spinal decay can occur without obvious symptoms and at any age.

I know you want to avoid tooth decay – so you brush after meals, floss, and make regular dental appointments to make sure your teeth and gums stay healthy.

So what is spinal decay? Do you know that some signs of spinal decay can be just as silent as those related to tooth decay and that, by the time you notice something – the condition may be fairly well advanced?

The main “job” of the spine is to protect the spinal cord and all the nerves that travel from the brain, through your spinal cord, to communicate with and control every function of your body.

When the spine is misaligned in any way, this puts pressure on your nervous system, which can affect your health. As a result, the spine may actually start to decay.  Dr. Richter can help you here in east county.

Many think this is just the effect of growing older. But just as tooth decay doesn’t result from aging, neither does spinal decay – it results from neglect and poor spinal hygiene.

Spinal decay usually starts with some type of trauma – a car accident, a fall, even the birth process itself can initiate it! The thing you want to remember is this. It doesn’t have to HURT.

In its first phase, spinal decay results in a loss of proper spinal curves or a reduced ability to turn and bend. If left untreated, your body responds by depositing calcium onto the affected joint surfaces, ligaments and connective tissues, in an effort to “splint” the affected spinal joint. At this point, you may still have NO noticeable symptoms; this allows the decay to continue.

By the third phase, spinal decay has permanently damaged the spine, causing neurological changes that result in chronic health problems – usually just the kind we see in an aging population.   And here in El Cajon we care.

Regular chiropractic checkups, just like regular dental exams, are designed to locate areas of the spine that are not functioning properly before they become major areas of concern. At our office, we check your spine to determine where it may be compromised in some way. Then, through a series of corrective adjustments, we provide the intervention you need to help you avoid the crippling effects of spinal decay.

If you have NOT been checked, make an appointment today. If you’re getting checked, then make sure that you bring your friends and family members to this office to be checked. You don’t want them to have spinal decay.

No More Ear Infections?

December 11, 2012 by

No More Ear Infections?

Ear aches in childhood are not inevitable. You may think just because a baby is a baby, they’re going to have ear infections. Well make sure you read this then.

   The constant crying and sleepless nights take as much of a toll on parents as they do on the child. Ear infections (which are called acute otitis media) are one of the top reasons for pediatrician appointments and about 50% of all children experience their first one before they even reach their first birthday!

This Does NOT Have To Happen

   The symptoms of ear infection may include pain, fever, irritability, and loss of appetite. Pulling on the ear or shaking their head is usually a sign that your child has ear pain.

Sometimes the pressure causing the pain in the middle ear builds to a point where the eardrum bursts, and blood and pus are discharged from the ear, giving you real cause for concern.

Relax, generally your child will feel better once this has occurred and the hole in the ear allows any remaining fluid to drain.

Many pediatricians treat ear infections with a round of antibiotics. Chronic ear infections? The medical doctor will usually recommend insertion of ear tubes to “keep everything working properly.” (WOW, that’s extreme!!)

Here’s something most people don’t realize. Research over the past decade or so shows that a conservative approach is often the best response. In fact, recurrent ear infections often result from medication given to your child for the first ear infection, including children’s pain relievers and decongestants!

Some believe that allergies, particularly to dairy products which increase mucous production, may cause chronic ear infections. Once removed from your child’s diet, the incidence of ear infections may drop significantly. Breastfeeding, particularly during the first few months of life, is associated with fewer ear infections in babies; it also gives added protection against other types of infection.

Many parents at this office in El Cajon have discovered that Chiropractic care not only relieves ear infections – but can help prevent them.

One study found that 93 percent of all childhood ear infections improved with Chiropractic care. 75 percent of the cases showed improvement in less than 10 days while 43 percent improved with only an adjustment or two! All this without drugs or surgery! Do you have – or know – a child we can help? Call the office today.

Chiropractic defined in a short 100 words or less!

Aches and pains are signs your body isn’t working correctly.  Here at Richter Chiropractic, we can help.

Your brain, spinal cord and your nerves control how your body works. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive environment. When this happens muscles contract, locking spinal joints that pinch and irritate your nerves. This spinal stress sets the stage for disease and ill health.

A thorough consultation and examination in our office in El Cajon, helps us find your problems. We then apply a precise force to your tight spinal joints so your body can correct itself.  We can do these adjustments here in our office El Cajon.

Health can then return with repeated visits. This is why chiropractic care has helped you and millions get well.

So call today for your free consultation!  619-670-7500

Nerve Pressure Leads to DISEASED ORGANS!!

November 7, 2012 by

Medical Study PROVES:

“Nerve Pressure LEADS To DISEASED ORGANS!!!”

This is something I think you’ll want to read.  Here at Richter Chiropractic we try to keep everyone informed, so I’m sharing with you.

If you have any children, grandchildren, or even just friends, you need to read this handout. I’m not sure I’ve told you this or not, but it’s important enough that it bears repeating.

This is a factual study that explains in simple terms – why your spinal care at this office 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. He found that spinal stress areas (spinal bones out of place pinching nerves which we call subluxations) were present 95% of the time.

What that means to you is this.

If you have any nerve pressure in your spine, anywhere, whatever organ those nerves (innervate) connect to – will become diseased – if left unchecked. My advice to you is to get checked today.

Nerve pressure is slight in some 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, you’re asking for major trouble which can mean diseased organs. Don’t Wait.

Call our office in El Cajon today to set up your first/next appointment.  And tell a friend who isn’t getting checked as well to call.

Why are Genetically Modified Foods bad? Part 1

November 2, 2012 by

Genetically Modified Foods. NO!!

 Monsanto and the corporate food industry would like to keep the presence of GMOs in your food a secret.  YES, a secret.

 That’s why I’m writing you this email.  I care about all my patients and others here in east county San Diego.  And I believe that your natural health is your best health.

You need to know the truth, don’t just believe anything you see on TV.  You may think you’re SAFE and that Washington takes care of you along with the FDA, but YOU need to take care of yourself and your family.

Part 1.  Here are 10 reasons you don’t want GMO’s in your food:

1) GMO production requires the heavy use of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

2) GMOs contain foreign genes for which the harmful side-effects are largely unknown.

3) There has never been a single long-term safety study conducted on ANY GMO.

4) Cultivation of GMOs leads to the proliferation of herbicide-resistant “superweeds,” for which there are NO known solutions.

5) Monsanto, the largest purveyor of GMOs, is responsible for thrusting Agent Orange on the world.  Do you trust a chemical company?

6) Labeling GMOs will NOT increase food costs, as GMOs have been labeled throughout Europe for more
than a decade without consequence.

7) Animal studies have shown that GMOs cause sterility within three generations — your grandchildren’s children!
8) There have been no long-term studies on the environmental impact of GMO cultivation.

9) GMOs are produced using “terminator” seeds, requiring farmers to buy new seeds every year from biotechnology firms.

10) GM corn, which is used in livestock feed, has been shown to severely HARM animals — do you think it might HARM YOU, your children, and other humans?

Once introduced into the environment, GMOs can never be withdrawn.  NEVER!

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

Keep Your Nails Healthy

July 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment

“Keep Your Nails Healthy!”

While nails do not seem very important, especially to men, their appearance does say a thing or two about you.  And we here at Richter Chiropractic do as we say.

Healthy looking nails means that you are healthy and well kept nails means that you care about your own personal cleanliness and hygiene. You do not need to go to a day spa and pay for an expensive manicure in order to have beautiful nails. You can make your nails beautiful and lustrous right at home in El Cajon – or wherever you live in East County or greater San Diego – if you are willing to follow a few simple routines aimed at keeping them healthy and strong.

On average a nail grow around 1 millimeter per week, its building material being a protein known as keratin. While cutting them is the most common method of checking his growth, this is a good way to cause them to split. Instead, try ‘filing them down to a short to medium length using a standard nail file’. You should file your nails from one corner to the center in one direction and avoid moving from side to side which can weaken your nails. Use a good cuticle cream, and push them back gently and then massage the nail base to encourage blood flow.

Water: bad for nails
Water can be considered your nails worst enemy and soaking them in water for a long time is an absolute no-no. If you do need to do something that requires your nails being submerged in water for an extended period, it is smart to don some rubber gloved or shoes to protect the nails on your fingers and toes.

Healthy diet = healthy nails
A diet rich in protein is important if you want to keep your nails strong and hard. If you are a vegetarian, be sure to get your protein from a good source like nuts. Sulfur intake is also important when it comes to healthy nails. Garlic, leafy greens and fruits will also give your overall nail health a bit of a boost.   And regular chiropractic care helps you maintain a healthy body.

Your nail is not a tool to be used and abused
While many people seem to think that nails were given to us so we can remove stickers from the wall and stubborn bits of food from a plate, or to loosen screws, the truth is that nails are not meant to be used as tools. Chipping or breaking your nails makes it easier for you to get infections like warts and nail fungus.

Keep an emery board around
If you do happen to chip or crack a nail, having an emery board around to file and smooth away the damage will help prevent further problems.

Do not be a nail biter
Nail biting is not only a unpleasant habit to watch someone do, it is also unsanitary. Nail biting can lead to ugly, uneven nails that are too short and susceptible to fungal disease.

Keep them short
Keeping your nails trimmed to just a few centimeters past the base of your fingers will make them easier for you to clean and maintain. If you happen to prefer longer nails, clean them regularly and use oils and lotions to strengthen them whenever possible.

Wear rubber gloves
This rule not only applies to when you are doing the dishes, but also every time you handle chemicals or cleaning products that might be harmful to your nails and hands.

Fountain of Youth Discovered!

July 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment

 Introducing the Latest Health Breakthrough in Longevity and Anti-Aging !!!

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH DISCOVERED!

Fact or Fairy-tale?

 

Has medical science discovered the magic bullet that can reverse the aging process mad let you slice twenty years off your current age?  Maybe so here in San Diego!

 What if I told you that it may be possible for you to live to age 100 or even longer ,in better health than you are in right now? And, if you are already experiencing the ill effects of aging, what if I told you that it may be possible for you to look and feel 20 years younger and stay that way beyond the age of 100?

 Aside from the fact that you’d probably call me crazy, I have to tell you that we have never been as close as we are today to actually being able to extend human life!

 In fact, the chances are that this crucial information may allow you to live long enough to take advantage of scientific breakthroughs yet to come. It may even let you extend your life span to 120 years or more, because as you will soon find out, aging is no longer inevitable.

 

It all began in the late fifties with a Russian doctor named Dillman, who described what he believed to be an internal mechanism (or a body clock), which was running down. The center of this body clock was in the area of the brain called the hypothalamus,- more specifically, the pituitary gland.

Dr. Dillman felt that it was a change in the hormone balance, which brought about the aging of the body. He concluded that if he could improve this balance, he could slow down, and possibly even reverse, the aging process.

Bringing this to our modern day, what has since been discovered, is that the most important of these hormones is human growth hormone, depletion of which causes the degeneration of the body, more commonly known as aging.

HGH is now available in crème form at our office in El Cajon.
