Aging is certainly a hot-topic. With all the “anti-aging” claims being made in the health care industry, one wonders, “how is this really possible, or is it just a creative marketing play on words?” Are you Ready for the Truth? Here it is!
There are two types of Aging: Chronological and Biological. Every year we become another number greater ~ we cannot escape this! (Unless we were born February 29th). This is Chronological
Aging. Now Biological Aging we absolutely have an effect on! Your physiology and your bodies’ biological processes are under your control. You determine how quick you biologically age based on these things: How well you think and perceive your world (do you see everything as hopeless and stressful?), how well you fuel your body with good nutrition, enough water, clean fresh air, and lastly how well you move and ambulate (your TV/ remote/ and recliner are your enemies!). If you live a chronically stressed out, fearful life and fuel yourself with foods lacking in sufficiency and purity, as well as remain sedentary ~ you get to age faster! You get to be 40 and look like you’re 60! How about that! On the other hand, if you eat better, move more and live a hopeful more positive life, you get to be 60 and look like you’re 40! Biological aging is under your control!
So use us as a Resource to begin making small gradual beneficial changes to your lifestyle. Then we’ll work on what to limit, and avoid later. Watch the years add up and your vitality/energy add up as well!

PATHOLOGY = MYTHOLOGY
This may be a tough concept to swallow and digest! A colleague of mine known for his scientific background and research studies has stated that pathology (study of the nature of disease, its causes and development) is nothing more than mythology (study of a collection of stories serving to explain a culture’s worldview).
In really delving into this and pondering it – I have to come to the conclusion that he is absolutely correct. HERE IS WHY:
-our body is always doing the best it can to adapt us to our environment.
-there is no signal in your brain that will cause destruction/ dis-ease in your body.
Disease is nothing more than NORMAL PHYSIOLOGIC ADAPTATIONS TO A STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT!
So this obviously changes our PARADIGM! If we cannot adapt to a chronically stressed environment (poor nutrition, poor physical mobility or the lack thereof, poor thoughts, etc…) then all we have to do to turn ourselves around is to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and strive for better thoughts, better motion, and better nutrition!
Then and only then will the myths of disease dissolve!

"Dr. Nick, Who's Your Chiropractor?"
I get asked this question a lot!
And No, I cannot unfortunately adjust myself!
The truth is I have several chiropractors! Not a week goes by that I don’t get my spine and nerve system checked for subluxations – sometimes twice in one week! I adjust anywhere between 1-4 chiropractors per week and we usually exchange services! It works out great!
One important note here too: if you had an audience of hundreds of chiropractors and asked them how often they get checked, not a one of them would go without 4 weeks passing before getting checked. Most get checked on a weekly basis, some every other week, and very few monthly. They all want to be functioning at their best!
We completely align our practice with vital truths! We practice what we preach. I always base my recommendations to someone as if they were a member of my own family.
If you want a better, longer life: ask yourself, “how much am I worth?” The answer is: “That you are invaluable, in fact, you could drain all the resources and financial resources in this world, and you would still not accomplish creating a “new you.”
So know you are worth investing in! And know your chiropractor stays Well Adjusted too!
