Add Years to Your Life And Life to Your Years
I have always said that you should begin chiropractic adjustments at birth and continue throughout your entire life. Richard is Eighty-Two years old and continues to receive his chiropractic adjustments. Just as everyone in your family should receive adjustments, you should also bring in your grandparents. With medication use on the rise with the elderly, it is especially important that these people receive adjustments. The average grandma and grandpa are on approximately seven to eight different medications, each one to treat the side effect of the other.
Chiropractic is the essential ingredient to a healthier, more productive and longer life. Research shows that the smallest amount of pressure on a nerve from a subluxation will take away the functions of any organ, tissue or blood vessel that it controls. Chiropractic care should be on a maintenance visit level for their entire life. Colonel Sanders received his adjustments every week for the last Sixty-Five years of his life (He lived into his mid 90’s). Here are what some of the studies have showed how chiropractic care added years to our grandparent lives and life to their years.
A detailed analysis of a database collected during a three-year randomized study of senior citizens over 75 years of age and chiropractic care revealed that they received the following: better overall health, used fewer prescription drugs, and spent fewer days in hospitals and nursing homes than elderly non-chiropractic patients. The chiropractic patients were also more likely to exercise vigorously and more likely to be mobile in the community.
Eighty-seven percent of the chiropractic patients described their health status as good to excellent, compared to only sixty seven percent of the non-chiropractic patients.
Furthermore, the chiropractic patients spent fifteen percent less time in nursing homes and twenty one percent less time in hospitals than the non-chiropractic patients.
A retrospective assessment of 2,818 respondents in 156 chiropractic practices found a strong connection between persons receiving Chiropractic Care and self- reported improvement in health, wellness, and quality of life.
Ninety-five percent of the respondents reported their chiropractic expectations had been met, and ninety nine percent wished to continue care.
Now matter how much arthritis, degeneration you have, chiropractic is the only profession that will detect and correct interference in your nervous system. A healthy nervous system is the key to a longer and healthier life. It is my wish that through chiropractic care you will be able to unlock your fountain of youth.

PREGNANCY AND CHIROPRACTIC: YOUR BEST START
Congratulations, you are going to have a baby. Northgate Chiropractic wants you to have a healthy pregnancy for both you and your child. Our office wants to inform new mothers of ways that they can have a better pregnancy.
One of the ways you can have a healthier pregnancy is to take care of your body. Women should eat a healthy diet both, before, during and after their pregnancy. Other things to consider are the side effects of smoking, alcohol consumption, and the use of medicine.
Mothers who smoked during their pregnancy increased the chances that their baby would likely suffer ADD later in life. Statistics have shown that these children were 3x as likely to develop ADD.
Since there are no known safe levels of alcohol, physicians advise pregnant women to abstain from consuming alcohol during the entire pregnancy.
Also, 10 to 20X the amount of any drug that a pregnant woman takes is passed on to the baby. One of the main ingredients in most cough and cold medicines is dextro-methorphan, which research studies have indicated may cause birth defects and miscarriages.
Another way to take care of yourself during your pregnancy is to exercise regularly. A daily exercise regiment is as important during pregnancy as it is before and afterwards. Exercise helps to make you feel your best during your pregnancy. You should consult your doctor to determine what is best for you and your baby. These are a few of the known ways you can take care of your body during your pregnancy.
Another way to take care of you during pregnancy is through chiropractic care. Chiropractic is a holistic way to ensure that the body’s nervous and reproductive systems are functioning properly. Chiropractors look for subluxations in your spine; misalignments of a bone in your spine that puts pressure on a nerve creating an interference or dysfunction in your body. Since the body is ever changing during pregnancy it is important that the body maintains at its optimum level of efficiency and health. Chiropractic helps the body to maintain its optimum state.
Adjustments keep the segments of the pregnant woman’s structure freely and normally movable and permit a constant free flow of all body fluids and a normal venous supply to control function. During the second 6 weeks of pregnancy the growing fetus and expanding uterus often settle in the hollow sacrum and relief of nausea may be achieved. Adjustments result in an easier pregnancy and delivery.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy resulted in 31 % decreased labor for the first child and 25% for subsequent children. Approximately 84% of patients receiving spinal manipulative therapy reported relief of back pain during pregnancy. There was significantly less likelihood of back labor when spinal manipulative therapy was admitted during pregnancy.
The postpartum return of the mother to prepartum health is also expected by adjustments.
The Webster In-Utero Constraint (Breech Turning Technique), a chiropractic procedure, has been with high success (85%) to clinically correct or reduce in-utero constraint. These are a few of the many benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy.
MOMS SPEAK OUT
“With my first pregnancy, I had severe headaches and low back pain with 24 hours of labor and a c-section without chiropractic care. While under chiropractic care for my second and third children, I had minimal headaches and low back pain with an average of three hours of labor and two natural vaginal deliveries.”
S.S
“It is important for the nervous system to be functioning at 100% so that the mother and child have the opportunity for optimum health and development. When I got adjusted, there was always a sense of ease, knowing that my child was at ease also.”
M.S.
“My potential and your body’s potential as a mom-to-be is far greater with the full expression of a healthy nervous system. My best advice to you is to get adjustments before, during, and after the baby is born.”
T.C.
“Getting adjusted during my pregnancy gave me the chance to have a "normal" pregnancy and delivery. I was diagnosed as diabetic at the beginning of my pregnancy and was told that most diabetics have problems. The nurses told me the amount of insulin I would have to take would triple by the end of my pregnancy and that in all likelihood my baby’s birth weight would be in the 90% percentile at least 9 to 10 pounds. I ended up having a fairly easy pregnancy despite the daily shots and diet I had to follow. My baby was not quite 7 pounds. My doctors were amazed at how well my sugar levels, weight, and the pregnancy was in general. They acted as if I was an exception for all the diabetics that they delivered babies for. They also expected me to be insulin dependent afterwards. As of yet I only watch what I eat and do not need pills or shots.”

Have A Heart ...
You are probably asking what could this have to do with chiropractic care. Well, it has to do with a lot. In my opinion, it is a matter of life or death. Your nervous system controls and coordinates all functions in your body, including the beating of your heart. That is a fact.
We all remember the Russian love story of the Russian pairs skater Sergei Grinkov and Ekaterina Gordeva. Sergei Grinkov, the Russian ice skater, died six years ago from a massive heart attack. His trainer said, “He did not drink, smoke, and he worked out every day. I’ve never seen anyone in better condition. I’d put him against any athlete in any sport. I never knew him to be sick. Sergei was the perfect athlete.” In my opinion, his death was related to the lack of flow from his nervous system. I know for a fact that he probably started skating at a very young age. Children in general will fall an average of 2,500 times before the age of seven. I would be able to guess how many times he fell on that hard cold surface, probably 3000 plus over 25 years of skating. Just add the two figures together that is a scary number. Every time Sergei fell he subluxated his spine more and more causing more pressure on the nerve and further weakness to his spine.
Research shows that long-term continuous injuries can be detrimental to our health. The University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry out his experiments on cadavers. Dr. Windsor wanted to correlate the health of the spine with the health of the organ. In a series of three studies, he dissected a total of seventy-five human and twenty-two cat cadavers. All twenty cases with heart and pericardium conditions had the upper five thoracic vertebrae (T1-5) misaligned. He determined that there was a 100% correlation to the disease the person died from and the misaligned vertebrae. How important could that be to the health of your family?
Currently, the number one cause of death in Cincinnati and the United States is heart attack. Approximately 56% of all deaths occur from heart disease. You owe it to yourself and family to have everyone checked for a subluxation.
