Did you know that:
- Although seat-belts do save lives they actually increase the whipping action of the neck. This increased whipping reaction is directly related to the fact that the seat-belt keeps the body securely positioned in the seat. The additional whipping action has been shown to increase injury to the neck and its supporting structures.
- An older accident victim will generally suffer more serious injuries because of the decreased elasticity of the tissues, dramatic loss of flexibility and range of motion, significant loss of strength and a slowing of the natural healing rate.
- A surprised victim of an accident does not have a chance to brace before impact which will translate into a more serious injury to the spine and nervous system.
- Studies show that approximately 50% of accident victims sustained injuries to the low back and of these 15% develop serious nerve damage.
- In a typical collision, having the head turned to one side, such as talking to another passenger, can dramatically increase the amount of neck injury.
- Generally speaking, a woman’s lighter musculature means that she will have a higher incidence of injury.
- A vehicle that does not compress or crumple upon impact and therefore sustains little damage, fails to absorb the energy from the collision, which is then transmitted to the occupants. This is classically called a “bounce-off” type of accident with little damage to the car but significant damage to the occupants.
Clinical experience has shown Chiropractic Care to be the method of choice for treating most whiplash injuries. If you live in the Cincinnati area and are suffering with injuries from an auto accident, give me a call and schedule an exam.

Why continue to suffer without exploring alternatives? If you have a health problem that is not responding to a traditional form of health care, you owe it to yourself to get a second opinion.
Since there are many pieces to the health puzzle, it is wise to utilize whatever form of healthcare is best for your condition. Delaying only allows the problem to become worse. The latest research has overwhelmingly validated the effectiveness of Chiropractic Care in alleviating pain and treating many types of health disorders.
Allow me to evaluate your health challenge to determine if Chiropractic Care can be a benefit to you. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

The facts are that four out of five adults experience back pain at some point during their lives and low back problems are the most frequent cause of disability in people under the age of 45 years of age. However, the unfortunate truth also is that while there are an estimated half million surgical procedures done each year on the back, most are either not needed or are unsuccessful in overcoming the health problem.
According to guidelines issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, a federal agency, only two percent of the people require surgery for back pain in the acute stage.
That’s why health authorities recommend that you explore “every option” before considering surgery. In this respect, Chiropractic Care, which incorporates spinal manipulations, is recognized as a highly effective method for treating back problems, without harmful drugs or potentially dangerous surgery.
It’s smart to be conservative when it comes to your health. I’d be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding Chiropractic as an alternative to surgery. If you would like a second opinion please call me.
Yours in Health,

Often habits of ineffectiveness are rooted in our social conditioning toward quick-fixes or short-term thinking. In school, many of us procrastinate and then cram for tests. I have a question for you, does”cramming” work on a farm? Can you go two weeks without milking the cow, and then get out there and milk like crazy? Can you “forget” to plant in the spring, goof off all summer, and then hit the ground really hard in the fall to bring in the harvest? We might laugh at such ludicrous approach to farming, yet 97% of Americans use this same approach when it comes to maintaining their health.
Habits of the Three Percent
They have a different philosophy than the other 97%. It’s their belief that it is much easier to stay well than to get well. (What a Concept!) They constantly look for ways to drive their health upward to the next level. They understand that medicine has its place, yet they rarely use it. They have a deep understanding that one’s immunity is “everything” and they work at keeping it strong. They don’t worry about the Media’s Latest Health Worry. They understand that true health comes from the inside and so does disease.
”The Microbe is nothing. The terrain is everything.”
Louis Pasteur, said the above on his deathbed, finally recanted his germ theory by admitting that the microbe (germs) is nothing. The terrain (your body’s immunity) is everything. The 3% understand this fact.
The Strategy of the Three Percent
They eat quality foods. Drink pure water. Exercise regularly. Get adequate rest. Exercise stress management. Have their spine’s routinely checked for subluxations. Take quality whole food supplements. Spend time out in nature. Read positive literature.
Sounds simple doesn’t it? However, the numbers suggest that it is not that easy. It all comes down to a choice. Your Choice!
Yours in Health!
