5 Reasons to NOT Have a Spinal Dentist on Your Family’s Healthcare Team

5. The 1500 times my children have fallen just learning how to walk by the age of 2 are really no big deal…even though I would be miserable if I fell 1500 times within a 2 year time frame in my 40′s.

4. I like my head sitting on my shoulders or protruding from my chest instead of sitting directly on top of my neck.

3. Why correct my son’s/daughter’s forward head posture? It just makes it easier for them to see the phone to text their friends!

2. Why would I want my family thinking better with a clearly functioning nerve system? I prefer the temper tantrums, disagreements, and difficulties with focus and concentration.

1. I played soccer, gymnastics, and football as a kid and I’m fine. I just throw my back out 4 times a year, and my neck always hurts, and I’m always getting sick with everything my kids bring home.

The Story of Chiropractic from Back to Wellness Chiropractic, Lakeville MN

On September 18, 1895 the first chiropractic adjustment was given by Dr. DD Palmer, a magnetic healer of the time, to Harvey Lillard.  Mr. Lillard, a janitor in the Ryan building on the corner of Brady and 2nd Street in Davenport Iowa, was nearly totally deaf for 17 years.  After the historic first adjustment, Harvey’s hearing returned.  This revelation, led Dr. Palmer to theorize that nerve interference from a spinal bone out of place was the cause of Harvey’s hearing loss.  He further postulated that returning the bone to a more normal position might help correct the problem. It was from this simple beginning that the chiropractic profession was born.

On this anniversary, it might be interesting to read the words of Dr. DD Palmer, the founder of chiropractic. We have presented them below.

“Harvey Lillard a janitor in the Ryan Block, where I had my office, had been so deaf for 17 years that he could not hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch. I made inquiry as to the cause of his deafness and was informed that when he was exerting himself in a cramped, stooping position, he felt something give way in his back and immediately became deaf. An examination showed a vertebrae racked from its normal position. I reasoned that if that vertebra was replaced, the man’s hearing should be restored. With this object in view, a half-hour’s talk persuaded Mr. Lillard to allow me to replace it. I racked it into position by using the spinous process as a lever and soon the man could hear as before. There was nothing “accidental” about this, as it was accomplished with an object in view, and the result expected was obtained. There was nothing “crude” about this adjustment; it was specific, so much so that no Chiropractor has equaled it.”

Within two years Dr. DD Palmer opened the first school of Chiropractic, today known as Palmer College of Chiropractic, on Brady Street in Davenport. It was his son Dr. BJ Palmer, who continued the school after his death. It is the son, BJ Palmer, who is given credit for growing and developing the profession into what it has become today.

Chiropractic remains to be the only health care system discovered and developed in America!

Want to Detox and Be Less Stressed???

Here are a few tips I recommend to make the detox easier and less stressful:

1. Pick a detox program you will commit to. I think food-based detox programs are the way to go just because we are a busy society with many of us working 40+ hours per week.

2. Vary foods throughout the detox so you don’t get sick of them. I love salads, but I remember I got burnt out on them pretty fast when I ate them for 5 days straight. 

3. Rotate in some “salty” and “sweet: foods.  For example, saurkraut would be a “salty foods,” black molasses on baked squash would be a “sweet food,”  and rice pasta with marinara sauce and garbanzo beans will kill any “carb cravings” you might experience.

4. Prepare yourself for an initial increase in headaches, neck pain, and muscle and joint aches. Certain people may experience toxin release in which the body may act sick as accumulated toxins, bacteria, and yeast die. I recommend naps and chiropractic adjustments during this time period.

5. After the program is completed, slowly reintroduce any foods you suspect you might have an allergy or even a sensitivity to. The most common foods would be dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, corn, and/or peanuts.

 Again, I specialize in wellness chiropractic care that keeps people healthy through a 100% fully functioning spine and nerve system. I also specialize in muscle testing to determine the best detoxification supplement for each person and his or her health needs. I would be more than happy to help out proactive people seeking better health potential through a healthier lifestyle!

It’s the “Itchy and Scratchy” seasonal episode!

“My nose is like a spicket today!” “My eyes are itching like crazy!” “HELP!”

Lakeville community members often come to Back to Wellness Chiropractic for the treatment of their allergies, seasonal or food-related. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by a hypersenstive immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.

Therefore, a misaligned neck can cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. Dr. Kayla Zirpel-Proctor recommends spinal examinations to Lakeville area community members to determine if chiropractic care can reduce their allergic and asthmatic reactions.

Additional lifestyle areas Dr. Kayla specializes in and recommends for her practice members suffering from allergies are:

•  Paleolithic Nutrition: We are genetically designed to consume the diet of our ancestors.
•  Detoxification Program: We spring-clean our houses-the same should go for our bodies! Our bodies can accumulate toxins that stress our immune system and lead to allergy-like symptoms, such as headaches, runny nose, sinus congestion. etc.
