Why I am a chiropractor

Why I Am A Chiropractor

Because I honor the inborn potential of

everyone to be truly healthy.

Because I desire to help the newborn,

the aged, and those without hope.

Because I choose to care for the patient

with the disease, not the disease.

Because I wish to assist rather than intrude;

to free rather than control.

Because I seek to correct the cause,

not its effect.

Because I know doctors do not heal,

only the body can heal itself.

Because I have been called to serve others.

Because I want to make a difference.

Because everyday I get to witness miracles.

How to Seek Out the Best Chiropractors in the Los Angeles Area.

Los Angeles Chiropractors: How to Find the Best One for You

If you have back pain, neck pain, headaches or sciatica, finding the best Los Angeles area chiropractors is one of the most important things you can do to get much needed pain relief now. The information revealed in this article help you find the number one chiropractors in Los Angeles and will give you the most important questions you should be asking for your specific situation.
Do you sit at a desk in front of a computer all day?  Do you perform repetitive work activities?  Does one of your shoes wear out faster than the other?  When you look in the mirror do you have one shoulder higher than the other? Do you have chronic muscle pain that you’ve learned to live with?  Have you recently injured yourself?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consult with a board qualified, experienced Los Angeles area chiropractor. Here are a few very important things to keep in mind and ask when looking for a chiropractor.

• Check your prospective chiropractor out with the State Board of Chiropractic (http://www.chiro.ca.gov/) to see if the chiropractor you are considering has had any disciplinary action.
• Do your homework.  A google search  (your city + chiropractor) will reveal patient ratings and reviews of the doctors in your area.
• The best chiropractors join professional associations such as the ACA, ICA, and the CCA.
• The insurance trap.  Just because a chiropractor is listed in your company insurance plan book, it doesn’t mean he or she is the best one for you.  Many of the best chiropractors have opted out of HMO insurance plans because of the limited care allowed and the control the insurance companies impose on the doctors.  The best chiropractors are here to help.  Many will offer cost-saving, surprisingly affordable cash plans or they will work with your PPO insurance plan.
• Chiropractic is not a cure.  It helps the body heal itself.  Be careful of any chiropractor claiming to “heal” medical conditions.
• Experience counts.  Don’t be afraid to ask your chiropractor how long he or she has been in practice.  Chiropractic manual adjusting is a learned skill.  Generally speaking, more experience means better adjustments.
• The best chiropractors will train their patients on proper stretches and exercises and will consult with you on supplementation, diet, ergonomics and lifestyle changes.
• Make sure your chiropractor has no problem referring to other specialists or working with any other doctors you happen to have.
• Be sure to ask your friends and family for a referral.  The best way to find a top chiropractor is from another satisfied patient.
• Seek out chiropractors that offer a free consultation.  The best chiropractors will meet with you to discuss your particular problem at no charge.
• Some patients require very little treatment to help them get better fast.  Others, with chronic pain or acute injury may need more care.  If your chiropractor recommends a treatment plan of four to six weeks, you should start seeing results and significant improvement for non-complex problems within that time frame. A reevaluation should follow to determine if any further care is necessary.
• Finally, don’t hesitate to get a second opinion.  A good chiropractor will be fine with you seeking a second opinion and may offer names of chiropractors in the area he or she trusts. 

As long as you stick to the guidelines above, finding the best Los Angeles chiropractors should not be a problem.

Health's Best Kept Secret: THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE

Hello friends and neighbors. I hope 2010 has been good to you. But if not, I have a secret that will make 2011 be your best year ever!




Maybe the whole idea of getting adjusted by a chiropractor freaks you out. I know it did for me. But don’t let your fear of chiropractors prevent you from incorporating chiroprapractic’s gift to the health profession:

THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE.

Have you ever seen people that just seem to have something special about them? You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you just get a good vibe when your near them. Their skin is clear, they have good posture, they look younger than they are, they look well rested, they seem more athletic, and they don’t look stiff. Come to think of it, you notice they don’t get colds that often and they are generally in a better mood than most people. I see people like this come into my practice every day. I’m not saying its the adjustment that made them so radiant and full of life, but I will tell you that living the chiropractic lifestyle will put you on the right coarse for a healthy life. On the other hand, I see other people that have every excuse in the world why not to see a chiropractor. These people generally are the same ones that put everyone else in their lives first before themselves. They are the ones who will give everyone the good toast but they will take the burned one. They are the ones that are generally not good to themselves and many of these individuals don’t love themselves.



Before we go any further you need to know this. Medicine is NOT synonymous with the Chiropractic Lifestyle. Medicine deals with sickness and disease while chiropractic deals with health and prevention. Medicine is reactive while chiropractic is proactive. Medicine is about giving you a pill, potion or a shot. If that doesn’t work they start cutting things off you. Chiropractic is about a natural way of healing that believes your body can heal itself from “Above Down and Inside Out”. At this point, you might think I am anti-allopathic. That’s not true at all. In fact, in my offices we incorporate orthopedics, neurology, pain management, and podiatry.

What are the benefits to you and your family by adopting the Chiropractic Lifestyle? Imagine being in an elite group of the top ten percent of the nation. In that group you will find most professional atheletes and a large percentage of movie stars and entertainers. “Well, Dr. Salse, the only reason those hoity-toity people go to chiropractor is ’cause they have the money”. Not true. Many of them come in to chiropractic offices just like other patients. They have health insurance. But even if you don’t, chiropractic is relatively inexpensive and affordable compared to medicine.

Many people who live the “The Chiropractic Lifestyle” have some things in common.  Some of these are  eating healthy, daily exercise, connecting with your spirituality, drinking plenty of water, staying away from processed foods, avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, getting massages, wearing orthotics if needed, working on your balance and posture. Last but not least is getting your spine adjusted.

I encourage you to find a great DC in your area and make 2011 the year you add chiropractic to your lifestyle! Many chiropractors offer affordable family wellness plans. A wellness plan can include periodic adjustments, attendance to health workshops, and one-on-one consultations on nutrition and exercise. Make sure you get a referral from a friend or family member before choosing a chiropractor.

This blog will close 2010 my friends. Together let’s commit to taking charge of our health and making 2011 the healthiest, happiest year ever!!!!

Wives, Save Your Husbands From Themselves

Who dies sooner, men or women? 

If you answered men you are right.  Men die nearly ten years earlier than women.  My female patients are the absolute best.  They come in when they are having a problem before it gets out of hand.  My male patients on the other hand wait until they can barely move before coming in.  I call it the "Macho Mentality."  Some are so bad, they are literally crying and on their knees with so much pain.  The six most common words I hear from them are, "I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY." 

Some people say its stress that kills men sooner, some say estrogen protects women and helps them live longer, I say that those statistics may or may not be true.  However, in addition, what I see clinically is a  cultural conditioning in which men feel they don't have to go to the doctor for anything.  Little boys are taught to be tough and not to cry.  Somehow us men translated that into:  "seeing doctors is a sign of weakness."

Did you know men live six years longer when they are married as opposed to their single friends?  I believe its because the wives literally drag their men to the doctors for checkups.  The male mentality is, "I'm a guy so I'll just tough it out until I get better", or "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", or "I don't want to know what's wrong."  Probably the worst thinking comes from men who say, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong....its just a little numbness down my right arm....I'll be okay."  There is almost a sense of pride in these men.  They come in saying, "I haven't been to the doctors in five years", and they're actually proud of that fact. 

I recently had a middle aged woman come into the office for a consultation accompanied by her husband.  The man's wife had been complaining of severe back pain for an entire year.  During the consultation he said, "All she does is whine and complain about her back.  I told her to tough it out like me."  After taking her x-ray, I was horrified at what I saw.  Her spine was fractured at L5/S1 which is the base of the lumbar spine.  It's a condition known as a spondylolytic spondylosisthesis and on a one to four grading she was a four!  I immediately referred her to an orthopedist who got her into surgery right away.  It took fourteen hours of surgery to fix her problem.  If it was up to her husband, she never would have sought help for her back.

In conclusion, I have a message to the males of the human race:  If you want to live a long, healthy and happy life, LISTEN TO YOUR WIFE WHEN SHE TELLS YOU TO GO TO THE DOCTOR!   The first step is to make an appointment with your family medical doctor and get annual health check-ups.  Then call your dentist and get your teeth checked every six months.  Finally, make sure you visit a reputable and well-known chiropractor in your area so that you don't suffer from nerve interference which is known as vertebral subluxation.  In fact, one single subluxation can cause decades of poor health.  Many times it is easy to correct the problem with proper chiropractic care.

Takes care of everyone else but themselves, holds all their stress inside them, too busy to exercise, eats too much fastfood or junk food that only they know about, overweight, doesn't want to know what's wrong with them, consciously or unconsciously doesn't really love themselves and therefor... feel they don't deserve to do something healthy like getting adjusted regularly. Does any of this sound familiar? If so, I encourage you to take action and call a local chiropractor in your area. This is the first step to taking back your health!!!! See More

Fortunately, if you're suffering from any of these problems or similar afflictions right now, they may be relieved or eliminated by proper chiropractic treatment (commonly called "adjustments"). So, if you've always wanted to "check out" chiropractic care and see what it can do for you, now is the best time to do so because...For one month only, $34.95 will get you all of the services I normally charge my new patients up to $215 for.What does this offer include?

Answers to all your most probing questions about chiropractic care and what it can do for you...6.) SPECIAL BONUS!
