Your brain has to get through your neck to talk to the rest of your body so everything works like it is supposed to. Your poor neck suffers because you have this big bowling ball on top of it called your head that is be bopping around in all kinds of different directions putting stress on your little old neck to support it in all its crazy gyrations!

That’s why it is so important to keep your neck adjusted regularly. This chin tuck exercise is a great to do daily too. Check it out in this video:

Hope you enjoy it and I’ll see you at your next adjustment!

It is a VERY valid and vital question to be asked and the answer understood. After all, if you don’t know why you are getting adjusted you just won’t get as much out of it. I know that you do want to get the most out of your adjustments so let’s find out what’s happening when you get “cracked”( oh do we chiropractors hate that word. Eggs crack. Some people smoke crack. People get Adjusted!)

The sole purpose of the adjustment is to remove a subluxation. Simple as that. So now the hundred thousand dollar question is “What in the world is a subluxation?” I’m glad you asked grasshopper…

TOP 7 FACTS ON SUBLUXATION

1. Subluxation is a misaligned spinal bone (vertebrae) which causes compression, irritation, and damage to the nervous system. Causes “bad patterning” in the nervous system that leads to the “blueprint” of disease to be established.
2. Subluxation causes INTERFERENCE on the Nervous System.
3. Subluxation causes MALFUNCTION AND POOR HEALING in Organs, Muscles, Tissues, Glands and Cells due to the interference in the Nervous System.
4. Subluxation left unremoved will result in lowered resistance to infection, allergy, illness, disease and will cause early death in time.
5. Subluxations are caused primarily by Emotional Stress, Trauma, Chemicals and/or Toxins. In other words by the stresses of life.
6. Subluxations don’t always cause pain, and left uncorrected will cause early death.
7. Subluxations only get corrected by Chiropractic Adjustments. Physical therapy, ultrasound, massage etc. do not change the “blue printing” or “patterning” of the nervous system.

Thanks to my coach Dr. Phil Yamamoto for this list of subluxation facts.

Now that you know a little bit more of why you’re getting adjusted you will be getting that much more benefit from every adjustment.

See you at your next adjustment!

Someone brought this to my attention recently. Dr Phil did an episode on how chiropractic is great for your life. It’s nice to get some good press so I thought I’d share it with you:

‘GET REAL’ with Chiropractic…

American TV personality and psychologist Dr. Phil doesn’t hold punches when it comes to advising his guests on living a more balanced, principled life.  So it should come as no surprise how he feels about Chiropractic.

On a recent show with personal Chiropractor and author Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, Dr. Phil touts the benefits he’s experienced from regular care.   “I’ve been seeing a Chiropractor a couple times a week for the past 10 years…”  And you can bet it wasn’t for a bad back.  Dr. Phil knows Chiropractic care goes beyond helping aches and pains.  It transforms your entire health and LIFE for the better – exactly what his show is all about.

If you’re frustrated with your current level of health, maybe it’s time to get real with a new paradigm shift.  As Dr. Fab says, “we are all born with a natural ability to heal.” Chiropractic care simply brings it out.  And if it’s good for Dr. Phil, it could be good for you too!

The key here is the benefit to you from REGULAR adjustments. Just like anything else, brushing your teeth, exercise, eating healthy, bathing (hint, hint!) etc. It takes a regular repeated practice to experience results. I make it incredibly easy and affordable for you and your family to get regular adjustments. But remember YOUR life is YOUR responsibility, you need to step up and make decisions about how you are going to live your life. I hope that one of those decisions will be to make regular adjustments a part of your new and improved life.

See you at your next adjustment!

BONUS:

Here is a recent post from long time member Georgia who recently took a bad fall:

Georgia Heard
I am 88 years old, and three weeks ago I fell, breaking my right collar bone and a finger on my left hand. My neck also hurt very much and I was afraid to come in because I didn’t want any more pain. But when I couldn’t stand it any longer I finally came in. You were so gentle with me; and with just that one adjustment, my neck is feeling better than it was before the fall. Thank you so much for being here for me.

Moral of the story: come in sooner than later to get checked especially after a trauma. I have ways of adjusting that can be done no matter what broken up condition you’re in. Don’t wait, come in!

Unfortunately the majority of people in this country are fading away. They have a host of degenerative problems that keep getting worse because all they are doing is living in the medical paradigm of treating symptoms with drugs and surgeries.

Sometimes you need some medical intervention for a symptom because you have let it get so far out of whack. The problem is nobody is working on fixing the cause of the symptom at the same time. By not fixing the cause you are doomed to a downward slide of more and more problems, lesser quality of life and earlier exit from this life. For example, say you are diagnosed with high blood pressure. Your “treatment” will be a drug that brings down your blood pressure, effectively masking your symptom. You’re now fine right? Wrong grasshopper! You are still sick, you still suffer from the CAUSE of the symptom of high blood pressure. You are now even sicker due to the side effects of the medication too. Your system continues to degenerate functionally and you are fading away to more and more problems (which they have plenty of drugs for) until you finally wear out.

The smarter solution would be to find out WHY your body is showing the symptom of high blood pressure. Take care of the WHY then your body can heal and come back to natural homeostasis and function. Now you won’t need the medication anymore. That’s the goal we all should be working on. Not just taking drugs for the rest of our lives.

Your nervous system is the foundation to all functions of your life. The whole goal and purpose of regular adjustments is to keep your nervous system strong and functioning so your body can heal itself. Getting adjusted regularly along with eating, moving and thinking better is a lifestyle choice that if practiced for a lifetime is your best way to reduce the chance of 911 stuff happening to you.

It is really simple, take care of your body and it will take care of you!

Sylvie’s story of better blood pressure:

Blood pressure dropping!

I’ve been getting regular adjustments from Dr Kyle for the last few months & since that time my blood pressure has been dropping to a good level without any change in medication. The movement in my neck & shoulders has also improved.I have been able to continue getting my adjustments because of the affordable unlimited program he offers. Dr. Kyle also teaches that having the spine & nervous system free of interference allows your body to work at it’s maximum potential thus preventing many health problems. He also coaches that having a good attitude & positive outlook, exercising & eating right is a healthy lifestyle we all need.

See you at your next adjustment,

Kyle

P.S. Remember this weekend special hours:

Saturday April 28th I am in Noon to 2PM (no workshop after)

Sunday April 29th I am out of the office.

Gail and Cheryl’s Why:

Jane’s Why:

I thank Jane, Gail and Cheryl for sharing their Whys

Another good way to find out Why to get adjusted is to come to one of my workshops where we will sit down and discuss what chiropractic is really about (and it’s not about back pain), where disease comes from and how to reduce the chance of 911 stuff happening to you. I do these most Sundays at 2PM and Tuesdays at 7PM. All are welcome.

See you at your next adjustment,

I start taking care of the little ones when they are in the womb by adjusting the mommies when they are pregnant. Think about it. A sperm and an egg get together, then 9 months later there is a beautiful little baby in your arms! That is an amazing miracle! That whole process is controlled by your nervous system so I HOPE you want your nervous system working optimally if not for your sake, for the sake of your baby!

The birth process can be hard on the little ones so I start checking and adjusting them right away. And as the kids grow they have stresses too so we keep them well adjusted so they can be strong and healthy. Kids need chiropractic too, don’t forget about them! Most kids love getting adjusted but sometimes they are a little afraid of something they have never done before. Too many times the parent asks “Johnny, do you want to get adjusted today?” and of course Johnny says “no”. Now, would you as a parent ask Johnny if he wants to go to the dentist, do his homework etc and take “no” for an answer? Of course not! As parents we are in charge of doing what is best for our kids even when they don’t want to. I don’t ever force anyone to get adjusted so it is up to the parent to explain to their child before they ever walk in the door here that they are getting adjusted and that’s the way it’s going to be.

Peyton getting his power turned on!

These are my boys getting their weekly adjustment. They have never been vaccinated, never taken drugs, never had any real sickness besides a few colds here and there (knock on wood!). I just make sure their nervous systems are strong so they can heal and take care of themselves. They are happy, healthy kids as it should be. 25% of kids from birth to 18 are on prescription drugs now in this country. That is just plain WRONG! Please, bring your kids in to get checked. I don’t even charge to adjust kids 12 and under because I love to take care of kids!

The oldest in my practice right now is 93. I also have people with all kinds of conditions: cancer, Parkinsons, paralyzed, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and the list goes on and on. The bottom line is healing comes from the inside out, from your nervous system. So if you make the nervous system stronger you can’t help but get better no matter what your condition is!

Life doesn’t move in a level line. You are either moving upward to more function, more health and happiness or you are fading away to more dis-function, dis-ease and unhappiness. Unfortunately the majority of people are fading away and just dealing with it by taking more and more drugs for more and more symptoms.

I know you know someone who is fading away, who is having some sort of challenge. I know you know someone who wants the most out of their life. PLEASE, tell them what chiropractic is all about. Tell them to start getting adjusted and just see how their life gets better. Join me in my mission to make this world better one person at a time! Ask me for some of my special VIP Referral cards which let your referrals come in for a “test drive” at a great savings. I make it easy, convenient and affordable for all to get adjusted on a regular basis. I accept everyone, no matter their age, condition or financial ability to pay. If they want chiropractic, a better life, I’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen for them.

Thanks for all your support in my mission!

Take care, Kyle

I had been having some problems for a few months and had been told that a root canal (yechh!) was in my future but I was trying to put that off until I recovered financially from my annual IRS contribution.

So I had to get it done and to save money I decided to head south of the border to Tijuana.

Crossing the border into Mexico

My friend Juan trying to find the Dentist

Lucky for me my friend Juan offered to come with me. He knows the lay of the land and speaks spanish so I felt a bit more comfortable about the trip down there. I have to tell you I was a bit nervous. I don’t like getting my teeth drilled anyway much less a root canal and then to have it done in Mexico I was taking a real leap of faith. As the drilling started I was just praying over and over “God protect me, God protect me”. And He did! Everything came out good and NO MORE TOOTH PAIN!

Juan & I outside of office post root canal, numb & happy!

Crossing border to USA. It took 3 hours!

The next time I’m going to just walk across the border instead of waiting in a 3 hour line of cars! When we did get to the border guard he asked why we went down and were we bringing anything back. I said to have a root canal and we each have a bottle of tequila. He said “tequila for the pain huh?”, I replied “you got it” and he waved us right through!

Root canal recovery medicine

The moral of the story is: take care of things before they go bad, really bad. I should have had my tooth fixed before it went ballistic. I should know better because that is what I tell everyone about their body. Come in, get adjusted regularly so your body can take care of problems before they get bad, before they go 911! the best time to get adjusted is when you feel great! As Barney Fife always said “nip it in the bud!”

See you at your next adjustment!

BONUS: I’ve started a new project where I am asking my long time members why they keep coming in to get adjusted regularly, what are they getting out of it. I will be sharing these with you, my hope being some of the “whys” will make sense to you and you too can start getting a better life through a strong nervous system! Here is Martha’s “why”:

Why do you come here to get adjusted? There are many of you in my practice family who have been coming on a weekly basis for years to get adjusted. Why do you keep coming?

I know why I and my family get adjusted weekly. I know why I adjust you too whenever you walk through the door. I adjust to get rid of interference in your nervous system. To reconnect your brain to your body so everything: immune system; digestive system; heart; liver; ALL your organs, glands, systems, cells can work as they were intended so your body will heal, maintain and thrive. My why is my mission: to make this world better one person at a time. My why is that I love to help you and I want the best for you. That’s my why, but what is YOUR why?

You see your why is far more important than any what, where, how and when.

Your why is what will keep you on track doing all the things that keep you moving forward. If you don’t have a why, if you don’t know your why, if your why isn’t that important to you then there is a good chance you won’t follow through. Especially when challenges come up  you  need a strong foundational WHY to keep you going in the right direction. This is true not just for keeping on your adjustments but for everything in life.

I would like to know your why for getting regular adjustments. Please reply to this post with your why. I believe it is very important as your why may just help others discover their why. Also, thinking about and expressing your why will help you reinforce your own foundation of why.

if you need help on your why come to one of my new member workshops (all members are always welcome in case you need a refresher!) where I will go over all the “whys” of chiropractic. This is information you NEED if you want to get the most out of your adjustments. I do them right after adjusting hours Sundays at 2PM and Tuesdays at 7PM.

I think that’s enough whys for now! See you at your next adjustment,

Kyle

That being said let me share a few of my own philosophies of life. I have picked these up here and there and they work for me. Maybe they will give you some insight into your quest for your meaning of life.

If I’m not dead and I’m not in prison it’s a great day. Each day presents some kind of challenges. I use this to keep my perspective so I don’t get down when everything isn’t going my way. Even when it’s bad, it could be a lot worse!

The Two Rules of Life: Don’t sweat the small stuff and, It’s all small stuff. Most challenges may seem like a big deal in the present moment but really they are small stuff. So don’t get all upset over them. Is whatever going on now going to matter to you in a year? In five years? You probably won’t even remember it so just shrug it off and keep moving forward.

Count Your Blessings. No matter what situation you find yourself in you ALWAYS are blessed. Still breathing? Blessed. Roof over your head and food on your plate? Blessed. Have a friend(s)? Blessed. Homeless on a corner with no IRS bills to pay? Blessed. Every night instead of focusing on what you don’t like in your life instead count all your blessings. This will give you more positive energy to help you get out of the bad stuff.

Pray about Everything. Worry about Nothing. Be Thankful for Anything. You don’t have to do everything yourself. It’s OK to ask for some help. Worry won’t help you deal with the challenge so just stop it. I have learned to be content in times of need and times of abundance. Your happiness comes from inside out so no matter what the world throws at you from the outside in don’t let it get you down. Have an attitude of gratitude and you’ll draw more good stuff into your life, guaranteed!

Your life situation is your responsibility. Your life is a direct result of the decisions and actions you have taken. It isn’t anybody else’s fault. If you blame other people or circumstances for your challenges you are experiencing you are giving away your power. Take responsibility for yourself. Make better choices and you’ll start moving in a better direction.

I use these philosophies to help me better my life. I am not always 100% successful in maintaining them but I keep coming back to them when I start getting off course. In this way for the most part I keep moving in the direction that I want. I hope that sharing these will help you out in your quest to make a better life for yourself!

See you at your next adjustment,

Kyle

BONUS:

Here is a great app on chiropractic that my friend and fellow chiropractor Matt Hubbard came up with. It will help you understand more about why you are getting adjusted and what it is doing to help your life. the more you know the better results you’ll get!

MySpine App

I heard that once you start chiropractic care, you have to go forever.  Is that true?

No. You only need chiropractic care as long as you want to maintain your brain – body nerve connection as open and clear as possible to keep your nervous system strong.  Many of our practice members CHOOSE to continue chiropractic care after their initial health issue is better because they see the difference in their health, their energy, and their overall sense of well being.  The choice to continue is always yours, however, as for myself & my family we do advocate chiropractic care for life. the number 1 reason to get adjusted on a regular basis is to add 10, 20 or more healthy years to your life. I plan on still climbing mountains when I’m 120! How about you? Funny, no one ever asks the dentist this question.

Getting  adjusted hurts!

Most of the time people report that being adjusted feels great.  However, in some cases the individual may be sore the first couple of times. Just like if you did a new exercise the body will react and be sore. Also, if you have waited until you are all jacked up and in a lot of pain, no matter what you do: move; breathe; get out of bed; get adjusted; wash your hair; etc; there most likely can be some pain involved. But getting adjusted is the key to moving towards fixing the problem and feeling relief.The best time to get adjusted is when you feel great so you can avoid most of those “all jacked up” episodes. You don’t wait for your teeth to hurt before you start brushing do you???

Chiropractic is dangerous, they’ll break your neck!

Chiropractic is vastly safer than any drug or medical procedure.  It has been estimated that over 100,000 people die each year in this country from prescription drugs taken in the controlled medical environment, the hospital. About 2 million hospital patients a year (between 5 to 10% of the hospital population) acquire a nosocomial (from the hospital) infection, from which there are between 100,000 and 300,000 deaths. It has been estimated that there are between 3 million and 6.25 million unnecessary surgeries annually, resulting in between 40,000 and 83,000 unnecessary deaths. Prescription errors are skyrocketing. Nobody has ever died or had their “neck broke” from chiropractic. We add life not take it away!

Chiropractors are quacks! “I tried Chiropractic, and it didn’t work.”

Yes, there are chiropractors that are quacks, thieves and lunatics. Just like there are medical doctors, accountants, mechanics etc. that are quacks, thieves and lunatics. If you went to a bad dentist, you would look for another one rather than waiting for your teeth to fall out. If your plumber couldn’t fix a broken pipe in your house, are you going to let your house flood? No! So, if you have been to a bad chiropractor, find a better one, someone that better suits your needs. Chiropractic works 100% of the time. If you make the nervous system stronger you can’t help but get better, this leads me into the last myth we’ll cover today:

How long until I feel better?

Everyone is different. I wish I could somehow predict how fast your body will heal, but there are a lot of variables involved. My focus is to remove any blockages to your body’s nerve supply caused by spinal shifts called subluxations. All cellular repairs are controlled and coordinated by your central nerve system. Therefore, my goal is to maximize expression of your life through the adjustment. How quickly this translates into you feeling better is different in each person based on things like degenerative changes, your exercise habits, stress levels, diet, and the number of medications you take, just to name a few variables. All this being said I have found in my practice that most people feel better sooner rather than later. Just remember that healing takes time and repetition, just like learning the piano and building biceps!
