Which Path Are You On?

August 6th, 2009

When I look at the current state of health in an individual, I see two different paths people are on.  The first and by far the most common is the path of degeneration, disease and destruction.  The second is the path of health, life and vitality.  The question is which one are YOU on?

Everyday I encounter people that honestly believe the path has been chosen for them and little if anything they can do will change that for them.  I had a 42 year old new patient that from appearance looked to be in pretty good health, however after reading his intake form I was astounded by the number of problems he had.  When I took the time to ask him about his condition, he told me things had just been getting worse over the past few years.  He told me he has been through the proverbial medical ringer and their current diagnosis is that he is just not as young as he used to be.  The worst part about it, he believed them.  I told him that was insane to think that @ 42 the best of your life is over and it has been for at least a couple of years!  I asked him if he was “ok” with that?  He answered, now that you point it out that way, I guess I’m not.  How many times have you had a diagnosis and were given a reason like this?

People everyday are given this kind of news and they feel powerless.  Take someone who is having any type of health complication that they are concerned about then just tell them its their genes, they are just to old or their bodies now need help forever to function better by taking drugs.  I bet if you have ever been diagnosed with something significant you have heard one of these as the reason for your problem.  Someone on this path, if they choose to believe it, will be on the “common” path of health destruction.  People on this path die prematurely and often times end up in nursing homes where they try to keep them comfortable until they die.  If you ask the people in the nursing homes if this was how they envisioned their final years I guarantee they would say NO.  The sad reality is that a few months ago I was reading an article on a good place to invest money over then next 5 years.  It said to invest into long-term care facilities(nursing homes)  because as the baby boomers continue to age and with the declining state of health in our country, demand is going to go through the roof.  Sad isn’t it?

On the other hand, one of the joys in my life is seeing people change their paths.  Seeing people getting empowered to take back their health.  The human spirit is so powerful and when hope is given to it watch out.  People that are shown the path of health, life and vitality very seldom will ever want to go back down the other path.(Why would they?)

Can you imagine a life not dependant on medications?  Can you see yourself having joy filled times  with your family doing the things you love?  Can you see yourself with the energy of a normal 18 year old, being free to do what want without the fear of how bad you are going pay for it tomorrow?  If you can’t see this, let us show it to you!  We have multiple opportunities for you to become familiar with this new transformed vision.

First up Friday the 7th we are having movie night(check out our calander on our website for details)

Then Satudary the 15th we are have our Maximized Living Makeover, Our block buster can’t miss event!  Lives are transformed here, come ready!

Are You Living To Your Potential?

July 27th, 2009

Everybody is where they are at right now because of the the years, days, hours and minutes that have past and the decisions they made in that present time.  So the real question is where are you going?  Are you making decisions to help you live to your potential or are you spending all your time making sure you will keep the status quo?

There is nothing wrong with the status quo as long as you have the life of your dreams and you are living to your potential.  Why sell yourself short?  You are here for a reason and that purpose not only affects you but all the people around you.

So what is stopping you from changing and improving your current reality.  When it comes to health, do you spend time with it daily to insure good decisions are being made?  Remember you are where you are at today because of the choices you have made up to this point.  If you don’t like where your health is at, what should be your first step?

First, can you see yourself differently than your current status?  So many people can’t change aspects in their life because they have no ability to see anything different than their current reality.  You say to yourself, I am this person with this condition and I foresee myself dealing with this forever.  Kind of sounds like what people deal with everyday when they go into the medical model insearch of that diagnosis to explain their current condition.  Once they get the diagnosis, now they have answers and then are told to take medications to control the symptoms forever.  Hard to see things differently when you are not given hope for a better future.

If our thoughts and actions in the past have led us to our current state, does it make sense then that our present thoughts will determine our future?  So, When would it be a good time to start to see your health and life differently unless it is “perfect” now?  The time is now!  Spend some time today seeing yourself healthy, happy, full of energy and doing the things you love to do.  How different does that look than your current reality?

I have a patient that for so many years  has taken Rx medications along with the ironically less dangerous illegal drugs for so long he was afraid of what life would be like without them.  He could not see himself with out them, they were just a part of him.  When he came into our office and starting getting care, his results were slow to progress.  I sat with him one visit and asked him what tomorrow looked like for him.  He said it looked like today.  He explained his daily routine and then told me it had been that way for years.  So I asked him if he thought he could heal and get better?  He said “sure”.  So I asked him if tomorrow looks like today, how is that going to ever change?  He said, “I don’t know but I want it to change.”  I asked him if he expected it to change?  He said, “I guess not if tomorrow looks like today!”  Wow what a powerful thing for him to say.  Since that conversation he has transformed his life and is dramatically healthier today than he has been in 25 years.

Now most of you probably are not in this same exact situation, but minus the illegal drug use  unfortunately it describes the masses in our country.  People suffering needlessly, stuck in their current situation and wanting something different but not expecting it.  Are you living to your potential?  For 99% of the people in the US the answer is probably NO.

What do you need to suceed?  One thing is hope that you can change and improve.  In our office we get to see that happen everyday.  Next you need the ability to see yourself differently.  See you, the new you with health, vitality and energy you haven’t had since you were a kid.  Third you need a plan and a support network that is going to show you the possibilities and help you make them your new reality.   Lastly you need people in your life that have either been there themselves and/or has helped thousands of people just like you make that change.

Our office offers all these things to every patient that comes into our office.  My vision is that everyone plugs into our office and really lets their potential out!  We have got two life changing events coming up over the next couple of weeks.  The first is our movie night fetauring the film Generation Rx on August 7th from 6:15-8:15pm.  Then our next Maximized Living Makeover is also just around the corner and already filling up with people ready to change their current health state forever.  SAVE THE DATE:  August 15th from 1:30-4:30.  Call the office @ 720-747-5333 for more infomation and to register for both events.

Be Well,

Finding The Solution To Your Health Problem

June 17th, 2009

So many people spend great amounts of time and money dealing with their current health problems.  They do so with little to NO results.  I had a conversation with a colleague this weekend while learning some new cutting edge techniques to further identify the cause of problems for my patients.  This doctor was 70 years old and by the looked and acted like he was maybe 60.  He told me he traveled to this seminar for the primary reason of getting to the bottom of his shoulder problem.  Our instructor is quite possibly the best extremity doctor in the world.  He told me he had not been able to run, play handball or golf they way he likes to for about 8 months.  The pain was even starting to effect how he adjusted his patients.

When I asked him what types of things he had been doing for it, he said he had been stretching and doing rehab techniques but was not having any success.  He decided it was time to solve his problem by truley identifying the problem and finding a solution.  When he was evaluated by the instructor he told him the problem was not in the true shoulder joint but in the scapulae(the shoulder blade).  He evaluated him, did one adjustment and the mechanics of the shoulder were restored.  He could lift his arm over his head and do so with no pain.  8 months of rehab on the shoulder and even adjusting the shoulder with little to no results, then one adjustment to the proper subluxation and we saw restored normal function to the joint.

This was an example of a pain issue that was being misdiagnosed.  Just like most pain and health conditions, people treat the symptoms with a multitude different modalities with no long term results.  Why, because they have not identified the true cause of the problem and therefore have not found a solution to the problem.  If you take blood pressure medication to control your blood pressure, is that fixing your problem?  High blood pressure which can be a sign of heart or other cardiovascular disease is a symptom of a bigger problem.  When you take the medication if things “work” the pressure will drop.  The thing people seem to not understand is that the disease process that was causing the issue continues to progress.  Your cardiovascular disease is getting worse you just are unaware of the symptoms now.

This is true with any medication you are taking.  If you don’t believe me answer this question.  Can you name a drug that is designed to “CURE” your problems?  I will give you partial credit if you say antibiotics but that is still not fully true.  Antibiotics assist the body by weakening the bacteria.  So if none of the drugs cure your problems, that means the disease progresses.  So not only do medications not “fix” any problems, I ask you if you have ever found a drug that doesn’t have a “side effect” or cause additional problems?  The answer is NO!

Just like the shoulder guy above, taking medications to regulate body function is like rehabing and treating the wrong joint for 8 months and wondering why things are not getting better.  You have to find a solution to your problem.  People everyday come into my office complaining of neck or back pain and after starting care with us tell us their heartburn goes away,  menstrual problems are gone, headaches are a thing of the past, fibromyalgia is gone, diabetes is better or depression is better.  By no means is this short list at all inclusive of the number of problems resolved by the body in our office once we identify the cause.

The foundation and principal of chiropractic states that there power that created you from two cells to 2 trillion cells is the same power that maintains you in existence.  That healing power needs no help just no interference.  When you have a subluxation or misaligned vertebrae, this compresses the spinal cord and inteferes with God’s healing power.  An adjustment to remove that interference is the most powerful thing I know.  Releasing that compression and allowing the body to heal and function at 100%, can there be something more powerful?

If you are tired of suffering, not living up to your potential and know there is more to life than taking a bunch of toxic medication just so you can function in your daily life.  If this is you or someone you know we have your answer.  On Saturday the 20th of June from 8-11 am we are holding our father’s day patient appreciation day.  People that are referred into our office on that day will receive their first 3 days in our office for free.  The will get a complete examination on day one, and adjustment on day 2 and a full reports of findings on day 3.  At the end of those 3 days you will know what the cause of your problem is and what your solution is as well.  Look forward to seeing you then.

Be Well,

Dr. Tim
