Motion, Exercise and Chiropractic Care!

Did you know that nerve fibers that carry information FROM the body UP to the brain outnumber the number of fibers that send messages FROM the brain DOWN to the body 40 to 1?* Why would we be designed in this way? So that our body's are capable of adapting to our environment on a moments notice! This is a great anatomical example of the degree to which our body relies on receptors found throughout our body. The job of these receptors is to send information FROM the body UP to the brain. One very common type of receptor is called a proprioceptor. It's job is to sense motion/movement. When this occurs it then sends a message of pleasure UP to the brain. The most common type of activity that fires proprioceptors consistently is exercise! This is why typically after a workout not only do you feel good but your body also functions better too! A second activity that fires proprioceptors and creates movement is a chiropractic adjustment. Did you know that the vast majority of the body's proprioceptors actually live in the spine? This is why after an adjustment you typically fell better and your body also functions better too! Exercise is considered macro-motion where as an adjustment is considered micro-motion. Each are absolutely essential and produce body wide positive health effects. If you would like to learn more about motion, exercise and chiropractic care please attend our next in office workshop on Aug 25th at 5:45 PM. The workshop is FREE to all and guests are encouraged however seating is limited so please RSVP at (858) 312-5066 to reserve your seats. Dinner will be provided at no charge so please let us know what type of sandwich you would prefer. We are also going to be having a special guest athletic trainer who will be giving out some incredible information on stretching and strengthening exercises. Do not miss this opportunity to change your life!

FREE Movie Night- King Corn

Shea Family Chiropractic presents: MOVIE NIGHT! We will be viewing KING CORN on AUGUST 4TH at 6:30 at the office.

King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm

Healthy snacks and drinks will be provided! This event is FREE and open to ALL. Call 858 312-5066 to RSVP!!! The movie will be played in our office at 15644 Pomerado Rd Suite 200 Poway, CA 92064.

The Secret To Creating Personal Change!!!

So often we attempt to better ourselves by making the decision to improve our health, and so often these changes last for about 2 weeks and then we are back to our old habits. As I have personally struggled with this challenge for many years, I have figured out a couple of keys to implementing and then maintaining lifestyle changes. Here goes...The first key to long term change is knowing where you are headed. As Steven Covey often says, "begin with the end in mind." What I mean by this is to start with your personal core values. This will dictate what your goal is and what you are shooting for. If these core values are that important to you, then taking action to reach them,even it takes a lifetime, will not be a problem. Next, decide which action steps are necessary in order to obtain those goals. This is the "how to get there" part of your plan. Once these first two points are in place the rest is based on creating habits surrounding these action steps. By creating rituals or habits we are enabling ourselves to use the least amount of conscious energy on obtaining these goals. This makes it possible for us to take on new activities and projects while at the same time continuing to work towards our ultmimate goals! Lastly, constantly reminding ourselves of our ultimate objectives is the key to staying on track. Make sure to write out your goals on paper and look at them daily to remind you of your core values and keep you focused. For further questions on how to keep on track please go to www.sheafamilychiropractic.com today!

Chiropractic Lowers Blood Pressure!

Get Your Spine and Nervous System Checked!

Shea Family Chiropractic will be attending a number of promotional events from March until July. At each of these events you will have the opportunity to take part in two quick but very powerful exams that help to determine if nerve irritation is taking place in your body. The first is a bilateral weight scale study and the second is a postural evaluation. At each of these events these exams are done for FREE! Please come and take advantage of this amazing opportunity. If the doctor determines you have indications of nerve irritation he will also give you a very special coupon for a new patient examination which includes the initial consultation, examination and any necessary x-rays. You will also receive a report of the important findings from your exam and x-rays at no additional cost! This is a fantastic time to get a check-up for you and your entire family or loved ones.

Health Maintainence Prevents A Health Crisis

Actively taking part in maintaining your health through exercise, managing your stress, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and receiving a regular chiropractic adjustment gives you the best chance of avoiding a health crisis. If however you do not take this advice, you open yourself up to a health crisis in which you will be forced to subject your body to further trauma through necessary treatments such as drugs and surgery. If you survive this incident, you will have a second chance to take the doctors advice of maintaining your health again. Unfortunately, for many people, they do not get a second chance. For example, did you know that 40% of people who suffer their first heart attack actually die! What about cancer? Do you know of anyone who has passed away from their first bout of cancer? What about a stroke? Same thing right? We cannot wait any longer to begin taking care of ourselves on a regular basis. To find out exactly how to do this and to learn more about the effectiveness of wellness care please go to www.sheafamilychiropractic.com

Newest Success Story From Shea Family Chiropractic

Survival of The Fittest Inside Your Body: Who Is Winning?

Did you know that Darwin's theory regarding evolution in which he spoke of survival of the fittest actually applies to your digestive tract??? Sounds crazy doesn't it. However, this is what takes place every minute inside your body. Bacteria, either healthy or unhealthy, line the digestive track and provide vital help in many different bodily processes. Things like vitamin and protein synthesis, fiber breakdown and most importantly immune system function are all carried out by these tiny creatures. Healthy bacteria are known as Probiotics. These probiotics literally outcompete the harmful viruses, fungi and yeasts in our digestive tract. Did you know that the number of bacteria in our gut actually outnumber the number of cells in our body's 10 to 1! Unfortunately, in modern society, due to industrial farming techniques including pesticides and herbicides, as well as organophosphates we currently take in 1,000,000 times less probiotic than our hunter/gatherer ancestors. Couple this with our incessant use of antibiotics which completely wipe out our probiotic populations and you end up with chronic disease. In order to combat this problem please supplement with probiotics and eat as much grass fed, free ranged meats that are hormone free and anti-biotic free. Your body will thank you! For more information on Probiotics or to purchase probiotic supplements please go to www.sheafamilychiropractic.com
