How Old Do You Have To Be To See A Chiropractor?

2009-03-07T16:00:00.000-08:00

Is there an age requirement to see a chiropractor? I've told my patients over and over again that "you're never too old to get an adjustment" and that's the truth. The oldest person I ever adjusted was 94 years old. (If you know anyone older, send them my way -- it'll help my story!)

So.. is anyone too young to get an adjustment?

The soonest I've ever adjusted anyone was within an hour of their birth. My own kids! My youngest had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck 4 times when he was born. He didn't look so great when he first showed up in the world.

Of course, being chiropractors, we were very concerned about his spine. I checked him within an hour and found a misalignment of his spine at very first vertebrae. So I adjusted him. No, I didn't lay him on the table and give him a good "crack." It was just the slightest pressure from my pinkie finger to the right bone moving it in the right direction.

If you meet him, you'll know he's as healthy as could be. Glad I didn't have to find out how that early trauma might have had an effect on his health.

Yay! It's March!

Is 2009 The Year You Get Healthy?

2008-12-29T07:00:00.001-08:00

Is 2009 going to be the year you finally get healthy? Not just pain-free, but actually healthy? What would it take? Is it just too big of a mountain to overcome or is it something you could actually do in the coming months?

Here's what I see that usually makes the person overall pain-free:

1. Healthy movement of their spine (usually because they see a chiropractor)

2. Balanced activities (usually indicated by having good posture)

3. Flexibility (accomplished by regularly doing stretching activities)

To make a real change in your health, you'll have to monitor what kinds of food you eat.

1. Are you taking some kind of multi-vitamin? (Chances are your food is not nearly enough to give you all the nutrients you need)

2. Do you drink a lot of water?

3. Do you eat a lot of vegetables?

Pick one thing, but pick something to work on and improve. Keep at it until it's "just what you do." Then you can add in the next and the next and see your health improve. It's a new year and time to make some changes!

People Seeing Chiropractors All Over The World!

2008-12-22T14:51:00.000-08:00

In our practice (just because it's in Houston), we see people from all over the world. More recently, the new patients I've seen have been to see chiropractors in their native country and are seeking a chiropractor in Houston.

Are they all in pain? Some, but definitely not all. They just have gotten used to being "in alignment" and prefer not to end up back in the same condition or pain that they had previously.

They are pro-actively seeking out healthy choices for themselves. The patients that have come in are overall healthy looking people too. Chiropractic is not the only regularly healthy choice they make for themselves.

They exercise regularly, eat decently, and are conscious about how they sleep each night. Glad to see people seeing chiropractors, even better to find out they're from all over the world.

Remaining Consistent... At Least For Awhile

2008-12-15T12:27:00.000-08:00

This is probably one of the greatest issues for patients when they first start a chiropractic treatment program... staying consistent with their treatment. The first couple of weeks can make or break your treatment, but it's hard to understand.

You come in, you're in pain and you just want to get better. The good news is that most people see a significant difference in just a couple of treatments. Then they drop out of care, just to have their symptoms quickly return.

You don't have to walk in and expect that you'll need to be under chiropractic treatment for the rest of your life in our office, but you have to be consistent at the beginning of your treatment to get the best results.

More patients get only temporary results, and it all comes from how good they are at following treatment recommendations at the beginning of care. We can do many things well at CORE Chiropractic, but we still haven't figured out how to treat you if you don't show up to our office.

Many Thanks!

2008-12-12T06:42:00.000-08:00

Thank you to everyone that participated in our Patient Appreciation Day and Toy Drive. We had one big box that we hoped to fill and donate to the Houston Area Women's Shelter. Instead, we probably could have filled three!

The shelter was happy for the donation, lots of people got free chair massages, free adjustments, and won random gifts such as massages, ice packs, and Starbucks gift cards.

This will certainly be an event that we will do each year and hope that it just gets bigger and better.

Many thanks again from your chiropractors here at CORE Chiropractic!

Big Event Coming Up 12/6!

2008-11-26T11:48:00.000-08:00

The good news is that we have our Patient Appreciation Day and our Annual Toy Drive coming up on December the 6th from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The bad news? Everybody seems to be having some sort of event that day!

Here's the basics: Come to CORE Chiropractic on 12/6 if you are a current patient. Bring a toy and get an adjustment at no charge!

We'll also have Jeremy Runnels here doing massage and healthy information from Hiett Ives.

If you know someone that has been considering chiropractic care, they can bring in a toy all next week and get a consultation, examination, and up to 2 spinal x-rays at no charge. You can't beat that, and the kids are the ones who benefit.

Any questions? Call our office at 713-622-3300.

A Holiday From Your Health?

2008-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:00

As we approach the holidays, it seems that for most people the holiday is really from their health. This is the time that many patients discontinue treatment, start to miss more appointments, are stressed, and just eat badly.

The good part from all of this is that this inevitably leads to a decision to be healthier in the coming year. But what if you didn't take this holiday from your health?

What if you decided to keep your spine adjusted, eat reasonably, and take some "time outs" as necessary to keep your stress levels down? What would your Thanksgiving and December look like?

If you can visualize feeling good through all of this and not foggy and run down, you can start getting healthier now instead of waiting for next year.

It's getting close to the end of year...

2008-11-17T13:50:00.000-08:00

Okay, I know it's still November 17th, but the time is just flying by. What will you do differently in 2009? Will 2009 be the year that you finally get healthy? Will you decide to visit CORE Chiropractic and get out of pain once and for all?

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, is "good health" something you can truly be thankful for or do you need an extra boost? The most common reasons why people don't get the help they need:

No time
No money
Don't know what to do

You don't have time? Did you know that typical chiropractic visit last only about 15 minutes? Do you have 15 minutes?

No Money? Maybe it will help you to know that most insurance companies have chiropractic coverage as part of your plan. You might be surprised to find out how little your out-of-pocket expense will be.

Are you just not sure of what to do for your problem? Not sure if chiropractic can help you? This is exactly why we offer an initial consultation at no charge. Let's sit down and talk. Let's find out what the problem is and if chiropractic can help. Then you can make an informed decision about your health.

It's not too late to get healthy in 2008. Why wait until '09?
