Laura’s Migraine Headaches and Back Pain

0

Thanks to many months of top-notch Chiropractic care, my back is finally feeling itself once again. Dr. Tate has not only been an amazing Dr. but he has also been a world-class friend in the process of my treatment. Prior to coming in to his office, my back pain (due to a car accident) was so severe I could not play my saxophone (something I have done since 5th grade), ride my bike, hike, or even sit in a movie theatre for too long before my back would start to cramp. There were evenings I’d wake up with migraines that wouldn’t go away for 5-6 hours. However, due to a dear friend of mine, I was able to get connected with Tate and start the process of healing. After 8-9 months of treatment, my music is back on track, my bike needs new tires from all the riding I’m doing, 6 14ers have been hiked and movies are once again being viewed! You see, Tate does not “mask” the symptoms, he actually treats them! Nobel concept, right? Unlike many of the medicinal or other modes of medical treatment, Dr. Tate allows the body to work for itself from the inside out by opening up the energy systems between the brain and the spinal column. His teachings to his patients are, as mentioned, world-class, and I would recommend anyone suffering from pain or anything abnormal to go in to visit with him.

Along with a great Chiropractic treatment, I would fully encourage anyone to do the Standard Process Purification Program cleanse. Yes, it is a tough schedule and sure the cravings can be atrocious to overcome, but the end result is worth more than words alone can describe. After many months of treatment with Tate, I had noticed my body’s need to “purify” or “detox” and this cleanse allowed for both of those things to happen! Let Dr. Tate know what you want out of the cleanse along with why you want to do it, and he’ll set you up with it.

So all this to say: Dr. Tate has been a blessing in the recovery for my back in the last year. Get in to see him and get yourself feeling optimal again! Life is for living, not for hurting 🙂

Thanks Tate!

Its been a while since I’ve last posted something, so what not a better day as we are moving through this lovely fall weather into daylight savings time.  As I notice the change in seasons, I often think about how our bodies are much like the ecosystem we live in.  In fact our body is an amazing ecosystem in itself made up of the same elements that this earth is:  carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, bacteria, etc.  If we were to break down our body into the individual parts, there is really nothing different than a lot of the same things you may find in your garden.  So the question is…. what gives us LIFE?  What makes these elements function to make a heart beat, reproduce, pump insulin, experience happy thoughts, grow, adapt, and heal?

When we think about health we all know that it is necessary to eat foods that are more alive than dead, drink good clean water, experience quality sleep, exercise your body, and maintain happy thoughts.  One thing we often forget about is having a properly functioning nervous system.  Your brain, spinal cord, and nerves need to be clearly functioning to allow proper communication to our body so that all of our organs, cells, hormones, and chemicals are functioning to their greatest ability.  A combination of all of the above is VITAL to be healthy.  This makes me think of a simple example of how we know exactly how to be healthy, but often times think our bodies are different that the Earth’s ecosystem when it comes to health:

Imagine a house plant:  what does it need to thrive?  ….Good water, enough sunlight, and nutrients in the soil, right?!  So, if a plant turns yellow or brown what would you do?  You could give it lots of water, but if it is in a dark room will it survive?  You could give it lots of organic compost, but if you don’t water it, will it survive?  Or, you could spray paint the leaves green, but then aren’t you just suppressing the symptoms much like taking prescription meds?  You could cut off all the leaves, like doing surgery, but will it thrive?  Ultimately, our plants need a good combination of all these things to provide LIFE.

There is no difference with our system.  Light, Water, Nutrients, Sleep, Good Thinking, Exercise and a properly functioning Nervous System.  It is COOL to be healthy!  If you feel you are missing any of these ingredients, make the shift.  Come in and get your nervous system checked!

Yours in LIFE,

Dr. Tate

The Winsor Autopsies

An unhealthy spine can cause disease in many parts of the body and a Chiropractic spinal check up and adjustment can help in the care and prevention of sickness and disease”

THE WINSOR AUTOPSIES

As early as 1921, the medical profession validated chiropractic

Henry Winsor, a medical doctor in Haverford, Pennsylvania asked the question:

“Chiropractors claim that by adjusting one vertebra, they can relieve stomach troubles and ulcers; by adjusting another, menstrual cramps; and by adjusting others conditions such as kidney diseases, constipation, heart disease, thyroid conditions, and lung disease may resolve – but how?”

Dr. Winsor decided to investigate this new science and art of healing- chiropractic.

DISSECTIONS

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Winsor was inspired by chiropractic and osteopathic literature to experiment. He planned to dissect human and animal cadavers to see if there was a relationship between any diseased internal organ discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae associated with the nerves that went to the organ. As he wrote:

“The object of these necropsies (dissections) was to determine whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine, on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other; or whether the two were entirely independent of each other.”

UNIVERSITY PERMISSION

The University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry out his experiments. In a series of three studies he dissected a total of seventy-five human and twenty-two cat cadavers. The following are Dr. Winsor’s results:

“221 structures other than the spine were found diseased. Of these, 212 were observed to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from the vertebrae out of line. These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide…for an organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments from the same spinal segments. In other words, there was nearly a 100% correlation between minor curvatures of the spine and diseases of the internal organs.”

Let us examine some of these disease categories:

    • Stomach Diseases: All nine cases of spinal misalignment in the mid-thoracic area (T5-T9) had stomach disease.
    • Lung Disease: All twenty-six cases of lung disease had spinal misalignments in the upper thoracic spine.
    • Liver Disease: All thirteen cases of liver disease had misalignments in the mid thoracic (T5-T9)
    • Gallstones: All five cases with gallstone disease had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracic.
    • Pancreas: All three cases with pancreas disease had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics.
    • Spleen: All eleven cases with spleen diseases had spinal misalignments in the mid thoracics.
    • Kidney: All seventeen cases with kidney disease were out of alignment in the lower thoracics.
    • Prostate and Bladder Disease: All eight cases with kidney prostate and bladder disease had the lumbar (L2-L3) vertebrae misaligned.
    • Uterus: The two cases with the uterine conditions had the second lumbar misaligned.
    • Heart Disease: All twenty cases with heart and pericardium conditions had the upper five thoracic vertebrae (T1-T5) misaligned.

IN CONCLUSION

Dr. Winsor’s results are published in The Medical Times and are found in any medical library. Winsor was not alone in his findings. Similar studies by other researchers have confirmed Dr. Winsor’s conclusion that degenerated and misaligned spines have a high correlation with disease processes.

Despite the continued research and literature correlating the maintenance of health with the maintenance of the spine and the nervous system, chiropractic is the only modern health profession that takes this approach toward health. An unhealthy spine and nerve pressure will cause the body to function at less than 100%. When the body is not functioning properly, it is more susceptible to disease. A chiropractic spinal check-up and adjustment can help in the care and prevention of sickness and disease through a properly functioning nervous system.

POST-SCRIPT

Dr. Henry Winsor’s insights and research are prophetic. Scientists from many parts of the world that continued to research the relationship between spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxation complex) and internal organ disease have expanded upon his studies. This field of somato-visceral disease relationship (its scientific term) is one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of research in the health care sciences – and chiropractic thrives as its leading advocate.
