Nerve Pressure Leads to DISEASED ORGANS!!

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.

Is Your ‘Neck Pain’ Really Serious?

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.

Do You Need To Balance Your PH!

“PH Definitely Affects Your Life And Disease.”

Anything living depends on a certain environment in order to not only survive, but to grow and thrive.  We see this all over El Cajon and the greater San Diego area.  One of the most important factors that impacts environment is pH… the balance between acid elements and alkaline elements.

Plants need the soil that they live in to have an optimal pH. If the pH is off a little bit, growth will not be optimal. If it’s off by a lot, the plant will literally DIE.  Fish too!  The water that fish swim around in must be properly pH balanced and regulated in order for life to happen. Too much acid throws off balance and destroys life.

As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING in life…MUST have a properly pH balanced environment in the inside AND the outside of it – ‘in order to live’.

Inner balance…pH balance…will create the outer balance you desire.

In terms of your body, the optimal pH for your blood and fluids that make up over 70% of your body weight is roughly 7.37. That means a pH that’s slightly alkaline.

Research shows a direct correlation between excess acidity and obesity, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux, cholitis, IBS, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and on and on.

So, the first question you might have is…”OK, how do I know what the pH of my body is?” The answer is simple… Test. Come to the office so we can test Your pH!  Just give us a call to make an appointment.  Richter Chiropractic can help you balance the Ph in your body.

I can’t emphasize this enough… the regulation of your pH is as important to your health as the regulation of temperature is. If you had a fever of 101 and your body is out of its REQUIRED temperature range of 98 – 99 degrees, you’d go take care of THAT before you worried about losing those extra pounds…right?  pH is no different. If you’re too acidic, NOTHING in your body is going to work right…So, get your pH checked now!

Keep Your Nails Healthy

“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.

Fall Now Pain Later?

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

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!

ALKALINE pH WATER

A lack of pH balance can negatively impact your body.  According to the Journal of Longevity, poor health is linked to acid overload.  Science discovered that too much acidity causes disease; that’s why it’s important to become more alkaline balanced.  Out of balance can negatively affect you by sapping your energy, accelerating aging and making you fat!  We have a water system here at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon for your use!
