Living In Balance

I find it more difficult these days to try and explain the difference between sick care and health care. We have falsified the meaning of "health care" benefits when in actuality, they cover services for sickness. Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place that my monthly premium gets used, but I feel that I should get a break because I haven't been to my primary care physician (in fact, I don't think I even have one) in ever. I would never drop my coverage in case a catastrophe occurs, but come on, give me a break. The bigger challenge is differentiating what I do as an actual Health Care Provider to those sick care providers. Some insurance companies have policies where they allow a certain amount of chiropractic coverage ( usually only enough to cover what I like to call "Relief Care"). Once insurance runs out, I am stuck trying to explain that the insurance company also does not pay for other health products, such as gym memberships, vitamins, wh

So I sit awake at night thinking of crystal clear ways to communicate that Chiropractic is much more than neck and back pain. It's about promotion of health and wellness. STRUCTURE If the structure of the spine is misaligned, it will put abnormal pressure on the spinal nerve. Since that nerve controls the function of the body, we can easily say that structure is related to function. FUNCTION The job of the nervous, as per Gray's Anatomy, is to control and regulate the body, so that it functions well. HEALTH If everything in your body is functionally well, you are healthy. When your brain has clear channels to communicate to your body, correct messages are sent. When there are obstrcutions like spinal subluxations (mis-aligments), the messages get distorted; therfore, the strcuture of our spine can be related to our overal health. TAKE AWAY That's why Chiropractic has such great results with non muscular problems, like IBS, asthma, ulcers, high blood pressure, anxiety, ADD,

I just finished filming myself giving my wellness workshop to educate people on what true health is, how to find it, and how to keep it once found. If any of you reading this have not attended my wellness workshop, please do. If you cannot make it, please inquire about watching this DVD so that you can learn how to achieve your body's potential. In my opnion it is a great talk, using a ton of analogies so everyone can understand how are wonderous bodies work. Call today to reserve your copy 360-718-2346 In Health, Dr. Scott

I just finished one of my beloved Wellness Workshops and it was one of the most fun experiences I had yet. We had a group of new and veteran practice members, but all were up for the challenge of the class. You see, after being in school for most of my life, I figured the last thing someone wants to do at the end of the day is listen to me "lecture" about eating right and exercising. So I created a workshop which requires active participation from our practice members. Not only does it provide a sound educational experience on how to find health and more importantly stay healthy in today's society, but it is fun and entertaining for the members. If you don't believe me, ask my recent graduates how bad they were laughing at a few of my stories. Health and wellness can be so much more fun than we make it. It starts with a great positive mental attitude. Do you see half empty or half full. Do think of that device that beeps in the morning as an alarm clock or an opportu

Hi all who are reading, After many thoughts run through my head of how I can educate others to live healthy and move towards a wellness lifestyle, I finally decided to create a blog. My upfront caveat is that my writing style is much like a text message. My grammar is bad, and you may not judge me for not having an English degree. So put on your boots and strap up, because this is going to be one wild ride. I may offend you, be suggestive, raise opinions, but the end goal is to make you more aware of how we were designed to live as humans on this earth. Please stay tuned for more blog posts (is that what they're called?) -Dr. Scott
