Are you suffering with the pain of rotator cuff syndrome? Do you find it difficult to perform routine daily tasks that involve using your arms and hands? If you are experiencing these problems, instead of taking harmful medications or undergoing invasive surgery with a recovery period of months, why not try visiting a chiropractor?

I am Dr. Josh, a highly respected chiropractor in Meyers / South Lake Tahoe, California and I can help.

What Is Rotator Cuff Syndrome?

First of all, let’s discuss what the rotator cuff is. There are ligaments and a group of muscles in the shoulder that connect to the main articulation, which is known as the rotator cuff, and injuries to the rotator cuff can cause extreme pain and the inability to move properly.  These muscles are intricately attached to the spine and neck, and imbalance can cause severe nerve pain and joint pain. 

  Many outdoor enthusiasts in the Tahoe area have this and don't understand what is causing it.  I have many who visit my office and I am positive that I can help your body heal the way nature intended.  A simple Chiropractic analysis can easily find the cause of this imbalance.Many clients not only receive benefit to their shoulder, but more important side benefits include: 
1.     Sleep better
2.     More energy
3.     Relief from other aches and pains
4.     Improved digestion and elimination
5.     Greater clarity of thought
6.     Improved outlook and attitude
7.     Fewer colds and improved immune function
8.     Greater stamina
9.     Decreased need for some  

Again, if you are living in the Tahoe, call or drop by to arrange for a visit, where I will find the root of your problem and start the proper course of chiropractic care that will bring balance once and for all.

Rotator cuff syndrome may indeed be a painful condition, but I will work with you to ensure that you are able to live a normal life without the use of drugs or surgeries.

Stress is a concept that is misunderstood. 

This is a test, look at the pictures of the tigers above.

Which one is under dangerous daily stress.  Bingo it is easy right. 
        But what is causing the stress? 
        What are the results and health complications of this daily stress?
        How do we fix it? 
The tiger on the right is sick, depressed and not living their full innate potential. 
What is the difference?  The one on the right is eating natural food and in a natural environment.  The other one is captive and forced in an environment that does not support life .  This tiger now has dis-ease.

When stress is removed, health is the outcome.  Chiropractic removes the stress in the nervous system.  This reconnects the inborn healing potential in you.

The body is always in a constant state of repair:
Building up and tearing down.
In scientific terms this is catabolic and anabolic. 

The body replaces every single cell in your body every 5-7 years.  This is always happening, so your body uses the nutrients you provide in daily life to do this.  Prevention in what you do to keep healthy.

4 Simple Ways to Wellness

Subluxation interfere with the nerve system and the expression of Life and Innate Intelligence. Adjustments correct this interference allowing you to be reconnected you for optimal healing and balance.


Healthy Nerve System

Positive Attitude

Eating Well and Essential Nutrition

Daily Physical Activity Outside

“It’s that Simple.”

_ 1) Undetected Neurological Damage

Nerves control every cell and every function in the human body. Spinal traumas, muscle tightness, can cause constriction of nerves and loss of function.  Theses can be present without pain.

2) Stress

Being under any stress causes the release of up to 50 hormones. This im-balance affects every function of every organ.  Increasing of blood pressure, a decrease of digestive function and a decrease of rebuilding and healing processes in our bodies.

3) Toxic Environment

Exposure to 82,000 chemicals daily from the air, water and food we eat. These chemicals have caused a decrease in life expectancy and an increase of life threat-ening illnesses.

 

 

Germ Invasion?

Germs always live with us.  Germs perform a certain job in our eco-system.  The break down dead material to be re-used.  Germs don’t cause disease, weak cells cause disease.  Don’t blame the germs, blame weak cells and a dysfunctional immune system.  What choices have you made recently to cause your body to be in a state of imbalance?

The brain and the body have a two way communication thought the nervous system.  If there is interference in this connection there is a dissonance or disruption of  life energy.             

Basically, now any information coming from the body to the brain is jumbled.  As this continues the body will compensate it's posture because of  pain being felt. ( this is why pain moves from place to place )  New neuro-patterns will form in the brain and cortex causing this pattern to be reinforced with each movement.

        This tension and stress in your system causes a postural distortion.  Creating an instantaneous apposition or                     misalignment of  the vertebra.  This misalignment affects the nerve-roots exiting the spinal cords,  bombarding the         mechanoreceptors, sending information up the lateral cortical spinal tract of the spinal cord up to the ipsilateral             thalamus in the brain.  This fires a postural compensation because pain fibers are now being excited and sent down         the anterolateral  descending tracts of the spinal cord, towards the postural muscles.  This creates a negative                     feedback loop that is continuously compensating for tension patterns and pain due to an interruption caused by             stress patterns that are stored in the bone, muscle, fascia or spinal cord. 

This creates a dissonance, a disconnection, a dis-ease process that is expressed through out the whole body.  Decreasing the adaptability of the system to daily stresses.  Changing our perception of these experiences from normal to abnormal.  Now all movements and all activities are filtered through the brain, postural muscles and nerves as inappropriate responses non-healthy movements. 

When properly integrated or released, stress dissipates throughout the body allowing proper brain physiology and connection to be expressed.

Integration of experiences is essential to life.  These experiences are learned everyday and change the way we operate in our world.  When there is an interruption to the connection between the brain and the body.  As chiropractors, we access the body through the function of the nervous system and release the potential thought the chiropractic adjustment.  Thus, integration of the experience and learning takes place.

The essence of chiropractic is allowing the true healing capacity of the body to unfold.  Each person who receives care is talking responsibility for themselves and how they react to the world.

Dangerous Daily Stress. 

Working like this causes a imbalance in the postural muscles, improper alignment of the the spinal bones, and spinal cord tension that pulls on the brain stem and spinal nerves.

This tension causes a myriad of conditions:  Headaches, shoulder tension, leg pain (sciatic), low back tightness, and autonomic nervous system stress, internal organ dysfunction and disease.

Straighten up, move correctly and get adjusted.

We are taught that if we feel good (feeling no pain) then we are healthy.  Looking at the way the body is organized we can see from this picture that about 10% of the nerves are dedicated to the pain response.

So what does the rest of the nerves do?
One part controls your movement, the Motor Nerves. 

The other part is the Autonomic Nervous System.  This is the automatic nerves that operate without having to think about them.  Breathing, digesting, immune function, and healing from a paper cut or cancer. 

So if true healing comes from the Autonomic Nerves, how do you keep that at 100% efficiency?

Chiropractors are trained in Nervous System Balance.  This creates healing, repair and balance to the bodies innate ability to heal.   This is about how you function.  Not how you feel.

The connection from the mind to the body is through nerves that exit the skull and travel inside the spinal bones.  Posture is a look at this inside connection without the use of X-Rays.  Chiropractic adjustments are given to release the tension in the spinal muscles and create proper spinal alignment and posture.

What are the benefits of good posture?

• allows us to move efficiently
• improves muscle function
• increases range of motion
• takes pressure off of compressed organs
• improves circulation
• creates a trimmer appearance
• radiates an attitude of confidence
• optimal organ and muscle function for maximum energy, endurance, and vigor
• optimal bio-mechanics for the best possible muscle performance
• neck, shoulders, and upper back that are not painful or fatigued at the end of the day or at the end of a long drive
• greater concentration and mental ability 
• flatter and stronger stomach--in fact, without proper posture you can never achieve the flattest stomach and smallest waist possible
• more respect-producing, confident, competent, vigorous, youthful appearance
