4 Reasons to be Thankful for Chiropractic Care

1. It?s Natural

Chiropractic is a natural and effective form of healthcare, which promotes proper functioning of the central nervous system. Many of our patients have eliminated the need for dangerous surgery and expensive medication after receiving regular adjustments. Everyone is treated as an individual under our chiropractic care, meaning the aches and pains specific to your body are recognized and corrected.

2. It lets the body heal itself

When a patient comes in for an adjustment they experience precise forces to specific parts of their spinal segment, which ultimately correct misalignments and allow normal nerve transmissions to the rest of the body. When nerve transmissions are sending clear messages, your body can recuperate itself. Chiropractors tackle the root of your pain, which is often just nerve transmissions being blocked (these are called ?subluxations?). Rather than simply treating symptoms, chiropractic care assists your body in resisting disease and regaining its potential.

3. Relief

We are confident that there is no limit to the benefits regular chiropractic care can provide. The most common relief associated with chiropractic care is back pain. However, no matter the pain or discomfort people come in experiencing, our chiropractors seek to correct underlying causes rather than masking or numbing your pain with medications.

4. It?s great for the whole family

Chiropractic care is not only for adults; our chiropractors are specifically trained to check a child?s spine for areas causing nerve damage. If any indication of trauma or damage is present, a gentle adjustment is administered with the same pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. From infants to grandparents, our families report having more energy, less dependency on medication, and improved overall health as a result of regular chiropractic care.

Sugar Sugar

When envisioning October, you may imagine crisp leaves, pumpkin-flavored-everything, or the frenzy of Halloween costume ideas and plans. But there?s something else a little troubling also synonymous with October: candy.
Whether it?s the 3-pound bags popping up at Costco or the bowl of sweet treats sitting atop the receptionist?s desk; candy in the month of October is nearly inescapable. But what is the harm of one bite-size Snicker every so often? Sure, sugar in moderation is an acceptable stance and a fantastic first step toward reducing sugar intake. However, it?s the sugar-centric Halloween traditions of excess that we should be cautious of; in other words, when bite-size becomes much more.
According to the American Heart Association, children should not be consuming any more than four teaspoons of sugar per day, this equates to about 80 grams (which is arguably far too much in and of itself).
It doesn?t take a seasoned parent to realize that this recommendation is exceeded within minutes of traditional Halloween festivities.
Sugar-centric traditions tend to consume Halloween, but there are fun alternatives for sugar-conscious families. Consider visiting a local pumpkin patch in your costumes or watching some Halloween movies of yesteryear at home with healthy treats. There are also opportunities to donate candy to Americans in the armed forces through Operation Gratitude. This provides a fun chance for kids to give back while still participating in traditional Halloween festivities.
Don?t forget to stop by DeMoss Chiropractic on Thursday, October 29th from 3:30-6:30pm for our annual Halloween party. Be sure to wear a costume!

Steven Shears: A Testimonial

“My name is Steven Shears and I met Billy DeMoss at South Coast Plaza while working at a clothing store. He quickly invited me to come into his office for an evaluation. I spoke to him about my health when we met later that week. I was impressed by his genuine concern about my wellbeing and health. I didn’t know much about chiropractic before I went in for my evaluation, I figured it was mostly for sports injuries, car accident victims, or those with chronic back pain. However, after my evaluation I quickly realized that chiropractic is for everyone.
Many of the things Dr. DeMoss taught me when we initially met intrigued me. I wanted some of my chronic health problems to go away and I wanted to be healthier overall. I was regularly experiencing terrible headaches, awful allergies, and would commonly succumb to the seasonal flu or cold. I had poor posture and would get back pain very often.
I am happy to report that all of those symptoms are gone. Whether you believe you’re healthy or unhealthy, we all have a lot to learn about our health. Billy can show you how to live a healthier lifestyle.
Getting routine adjustments instead of waiting for an injury to occur is the best solution.
Be proactive, not reactive. Utilize the energy and knowledge within DeMoss Chiropractic to become a stronger and healthier person. Even if I don’t see Billy as often as I’d like to, I can always hear him in the back of my head saying, “Don’t eat that!? ?Go get some fresh air and take a walk!? ?Do your neck exercises!”
DeMoss Chiropractic has motivated me to be healthier and spread the message of what chiropractic care can do. Spread the great energy!”
