As A Patient … Are You Wanting More?

April 15, 2013 by

As A Patient … Are You Wanting More?

Let me ask you a question.

What are you hoping to get from your chiropractic care at this office?

—Less pain?

—Less tightness?

—More health?

—More movement?

—Or more life?

Many people begin care at the office because they have an ache or a pain they want to silence and get rid of.  In other words, they start out “wanting less.” As they learn what chiropractic care is (and what it isn’t) they discover it could offer them more.

More of what they really want. Participating in that discovery is one of the greatest joys of me being in practice. We offer you a FREE Dinner Workshop weekly, where you will learn more about what Chiropractic and this practice can give to you and your family.

Some people don’t see the implication between a proactive (more) and a reactive (less) approach to their health. Instead, they prefer to come in ONLY when they have obvious symptoms.

No worries.  We love them just as much.

Everyone shows up at a different place on this journey of self discovery.  I am merely here to serve you, whether you really want less or more.

Call Lisa today to reserve your seat at our next Dinner Workshop.

How To Avoid Diabetes, Heart Disease and Obesity!

April 2, 2013 by

How To Avoid Diabetes, Heart Disease and Obesity!

 Did you know that Testosterone begins declining in men as early as the mid-30′s and can result in an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity?

Something we all want to avoid. This condition is called Andropause. Symptoms of low testosterone levels include anxiety, reduced libido, loss of lean muscle mass and low stamina, as well as depression.

Do you suffer from any of these symptoms, or do you know any men with these issues?

The medical community has been very slow to recognize how serious this problem is and it is likely that your doctor has never discussed it with you before. There is however, good news.

They tell you it’s possible to increase your testosterone levels with testosterone injections. Unfortunately, this method can be very expensive, painful, and also come with increased risks for prostate cancer, as your blood must be checked on a regular basis to monitor for any possible negative side effects.

                                                Here is REALLY GOOD NEWS!

A new and totally natural homeopathic crème is now available at this office.  It will naturally increase your body’s levels of testosterone to levels that were previously only possible with expensive and potentially dangerous testosterone injections.

The testosterone level increases are nothing short of amazing, with none of the side effects associated with testosterone injections.

Here are the benefits that the subjects in our tests have reported and you may receive the same benefits within just 90 days!

1. Increased energy and stamina
2. Increase in Libido.
3. Ability to lift more weight during workouts.
4. Faster recovery from workouts with no sore joints
4. Increase in lean muscle mass.
5. Increase in testosterone levels in 21 days
6. Fat loss especially around the stomach area

You are the first to hear about this amazing new natural testosterone raising crème because you’re a patient here.

You can now have unlimited energy, gain lots of lean muscle, and reduce belly flab, and most of all, using Dr Richter’s Anti Aging crèmes that will help you feel and look younger than ever before! Talk with Lisa today for your supply.

When Was Your Last Adjustment?

February 4, 2013 by

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.

Gaining Weight in the Graveyard?

January 14, 2013 by

GAINING WEIGHT IN THE GRAVEYARD?

    There are definitely some major advantages to night-shift work schedules, affectionately known as the “graveyard” shift.

   On the other hand, there are disadvantages as well. The “laid back” atmosphere and the fact that many who work nights naturally have a reduced work load, makes

boredom somewhat commonplace. And what do lots of folks who are bored do? Why they eat of course! And then what happens? Well… they gain weight! How much, depends on a number of variables such as exercise, diet, and sleep.

   Most people have regular sleeping and eating patterns that keep pace with their circadian rhythms – our natural 24-hour body clock. When a person becomes a night-shift worker, their sleeping and eating cycles are disrupted. In addition, because many experience sleeping disorders and digestive problems than their day-shift counterparts, many easily gain 20-30 pounds once they start working nights.

   One reason for this is the vending machine. Rather than bringing home-prepared meals to eat at work or eating in restaurants that offer healthy choices, many become vending machine junkies, a less-than-nutritious diet that adds on weight…and quickly!

   Yet you can eat healthy working nights IF you keep in mind the following:

  • Never skip a meal and adjust your meal schedule to match your “day” meal routine as soon as you begin to work the night-shift.
  • Make sure you don’t eat a large meal at the end of your shift, just as you are winding down to go to sleep. It will not digest properly and you will not have time to “work it off” prior to sleeping; this contributes to gain weight.
  • Avoid vending machine snacking and eat at least one well-balanced meal during your shift.
  • Avoid sugar and caffeine which may keep you awake and wreak havoc with your sleep cycles later in your “day.”

   And if you’re working late, schedule an early appointment at the office. We’re here to help you and it’s important that you get your regular adjustments. You’ll sleep like a baby following your adjustment. We also have an effective, fast and safe weight loss system available for you.

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.

HEALING TRENDS?

 

Yes, there are trends.  Think about spinal correction like the stock market. There will be ups and downs along the way but the overall trend is up.  

 

Sometimes patients will get one or two adjustments and feel amazing only to have some of the pain return days later.  We’re here in east county to help when/if your pain returns.

 

Once you understand how the body heals and responds you can make sure you are maximizing your care and are patient when there are down days.

 

Just like a good stock broker, you have to look at the long term objective which is maximum spinal correction.  Chiropractic helps if you use it.

 

Remember,

Health is a journey,  not a destination!

So give us a call to schedule your first or your next adjustment.

Work Without STRESS?

November 21, 2012 by

Work Without Stress?

Stress is tough on all of us here in the greater San Diego area – despite such great weather.   When you learn to reduce your work stress, your overall stress decreases as well!

We spend most of our waking hours doing this thing we call “work” so that we can provide for our families.

Unfortunately, for far too many people, work produces a great deal of stress, which carries over to their home life, social life and all the other activities of everyday living.

We end up dreading getting out of bed in the morning. Then we dread our commute, our work environment, our interactions with bosses and co-workers, the very job we do, and then our commute back home.

No wonder so many people are tired, depressed and stressed out!

There are certain ways to de-stress your work environment. For example, you can:

Make a “To-Do” list at the end of every day, for the next day – Then you will be ready when you get to work the next day, and you’ll know exactly what you have to do. Prioritize the list so you know what to do first.

 Make sure you have all the details of any assignment and the ability to get it done – You can’t do a job when you lack the skills, resources, knowledge or tools to get it done. Clarify and confirm with your supervisor what you are expected to do.

If you are in a management position, learn how to delegate – One of the biggest problems managers face is the inability to delegate. Many feel there is no one who can do the job as well as they can and it would take too long to teach them anyway. It may take an hour to explain to a subordinate how to perform a particular task, but once they learn it, they own it! Result: Less stress!

Take a break – Take a walk, run an errand, eat something, visit the water cooler, or talk to a co-worker. No one can work 24/7 without a break. Taking breaks actually increases productivity and relaxes you.

Leave your job where it belongs, at the office – If you need to catch up some work at home, spend time with the family, eat dinner, play with the kids, help with homework and bedtime routines first. Pick up your work after you’ve made your family the priority they deserve.

Everyone’s work is becoming increasingly stressful, especially as technology continues to advance. If you want to stay healthy, you find ways to de-stress. Remember the importance of exercise, proper nutrition, sufficient sleep and routine chiropractic care to keep your body and mind well tuned and functioning at peak capacity!

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.

Are you Tired of Suffering?

October 8, 2012 by

Tired of Suffering?

Symptoms of hormone imbalance in women may begin as early as the late twenties to the forties.  And it happens here in east county San Diego.

Symptoms of hormone imbalance in women tend to increase as a woman ages, especially if ignored in the earlier years. Their general health becomes effected.

Hormone imbalance symptoms can be any one or more of the following:

-Allergy symptoms
-Depression, FAITGUE, and anxiety
-Endometriosis
-Fibrocystic breasts
-Hair loss and facial hair growth
-Headaches, dizziness and foggy thinking
-Low sex drive
-Osteoporosis
-PMS
-Urinary tract infections and incontinence
-Uterine fibroids
-WEIGHT GAIN, water retention and bloating
-Wrinkly skin

Symptoms of hormone imbalance are caused primarily by the incorrect relationship between progesterone and estrogen levels in the body.

These two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, exist in a delicate balance.

Variations in that balance can have a dramatic effect on your health, resulting in symptoms of hormone imbalance. The amounts of these hormones that the woman’s body produces from month to month can vary, depending on factors such as stress, nutrition, exercise and most importantly – ovulation or the lack of ovulation.

In the industrialized countries, women take birth control pills, are exposed to household chemicals at home, car exhaust and other environmental xenoestrogens.

In addition, women often have stressful lives, eat processed foods or skip meals, take synthetic estrogen HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and have hysterectomies.

All these factors can add more estrogen to the female body, resulting in excess estrogen which will cause hormone imbalance symptoms.

If you want to help balance your estrogen levels, and help STOP the symptoms of hormone imbalance, make sure you’re using the special Progesterone crème from West Coast which is only available from this office.

We have these in stock here at Richter Chiropractic so call or come by to pick some up today.
