PIKE HEALTH AND WELLNESS REPORT

 
 
PIKE HEALTH AND WELLNESS REPORT
 
 
PIKE’S HEALTH AND WELLNESS REPORT
VISION:  If you wish to be living your best life, you must first define what best is.
“Begin with the end in mind” and then reverse engineer it...Seeing yourself in the starring role of this your life means you must decide what is inside your heart that you are here to let out.  This is your Soul Purpose.  Purpose is what you are here to do...and points to who are you here to be!  Write this out and then become the one who believes it by being this person in ACTION...one day at a time.
One of my favourite models to implement this action is the TRIAD OF CHANGE, a phrase created by my colleague - Donald Epstien.  Everything is connected to how we perceive our role in the Universe. These beliefs become our perceptions or our story. These invisible forces within us lead to how we behave.  What we do becomes the structure and fabric of our life. Structure in this context means our personal internal and external worlds. This includes all the aspects of our lives. The reason this triad is powerful is the way everything in it affects each other aspect of the triangle. We each spend our lives figuring this out. So the formula works out to be:  Our beliefs cause our behaviors or choices which determine our result.  Interestingly our result is proof of what our beliefs are...  and so on around the circle.
If we don’t learn how to navigate through each division of life; we will find ourselves stuck in beliefs which don’t serve us.  These we would like to change.  When we want to transform who and what we are badly enough, we will. But we are the ones who must begin to change from within. This change which must begin inside us relates to how we see ourselves and our personal stories. Our future self can’t shift if our personal story doesn’t.
The best way to change our stories is to deliberately grow our personal experience of who we are...To me the most powerful step in this process is to grow our Awareness of how we are doing.  A great clue to this is to know the truth of our health and wellness choices.
Lets look the difference between the two:
HEALTH:  Your body is designed to live in such a way that it is self-regulating, and self-healing.
WELLNESS:  We are each responsible to live in a way that honours our body. This is not rocket science. It is way beyond that. In our lives we must each learn how express through our mind (thinking), emotions (feelings) and physical body.  In our culture, we are told very little of how to grow and protect our health in these three areas. Balance in this sense results in health and wellness.
The gift you are eligible to receive as a FAN of PIKE CHIROPRACTIC will help you to be certain of how to do this very thing...GROW AND EXPRESS YOUR LIFEFORCE!  You are now one step away from having a huge advantage to helping yourself to gain and maintain control over your most valuable asset by far!

Priciples of Posture or Harmonizing with Gravity's Pull


Principles of Posture
or
Harmonizing With Gravity's Pull

 Long ago and far away, a fourth-grade teacher told a student to "stand up straight - you look like a pretzel". The unthinking adult only offered criticism. The child was left to try to un-kink himself in the ways that probably caused more structural damage.

Most of us think good posture involves thrusting out the chest and pulling back the shoulders. Informing a person that he needs to improve his posture usually results in a sudden, robot-like increase in stature, the person stiffly incorporating most or all of these muscular stresses.

 As a direct result of our weak relationship to sound concepts of what good posture actually is, most people have protruding stomachs, slumped shoulders, and necks that protrude far in front of their body's center. Aside from perpetually unattractive aesthetics, such chronically inefficient posture places ongoing strain on back and neck muscles. Poor posture interferes with normal functioning of your heart and lungs. Metabolic processes deteriorate owing to lack of normal oxygen supply. Poor posture not only leads to musculoskeletal problems like chronic back and neck pain, but also is implicated in gastrointestinal and endocrine diseases and many other disorders.

 The welcome news is that achieving good posture is not that difficult. Work is required, of course, as well as consistent attention. But the work is not hard - it is merely new and different, for most of us. As we can guess, the key element in good posture is a straight spine. Importantly, straight doesn’t mean rigid.

The main consideration here is how to get your spine straight without tightening all your muscles and holding your breath.  The solution requires a little imagination. Picture in your mind a string dangling from the sky and attaching it to your sternum - your breastbone. You can name this image “hitching your sternum to a star”. You dangle from the string like a puppet.

Also, you imagine that the string is supporting all your weight. As a result, your chest lifts up easily and your spine straightens naturally and smoothly.

Another piece to the posture puzzle is to allow your shoulder girdles to rest on your rib cage. You don’t have to press your shoulders down to do this - just don’t hold them up. Most of us unconsciously tighten our neck and shoulder girdle muscles all day long. By starting to be conscious of what’s going on, we can start letting go of tight shoulder girdle muscles. The shoulders will then gently descend and come to rest on top of the rib cage, where they belong.

By paying attention to these basic postural corrections, over time we can develop a posture that is fluid and efficient. We will appear taller, comfortably reaching our full height with grace and ease. Tension and anxiety begin to reduce and we sleep more restfully at night. Good posture is good health. Always remember that the spinal river of life must be free to move and transmit millions of signals to keep everything in health.  Posture is truly underrated!

The Chiropractic Meaning of Life!
...by Bob Pike D.C.

There is a distinct Chiropractic view of Life.  We believe that health is much more than just how one feels; it’s how we function and express ourselves! Health is that state in which Life can express freely from inside-out. Life's nerve force impulses hold 100% of our human potential living within our Innate spirituality. We are fully alive when our cells tissues, organs, and systems are functioning to their full capacity as we let love radiate without concern for results.
There is an inborn intelligence in all living things that naturally gives us Its instincts and attributes.  With these we survive, thrive, and adapt in this ever-changing world. The expression of this inborn intelligence through our nerve system allows our body to perform at 100%. This is the Chiropractic meaning of life. Any attempt I make to describe the depth of this idea will fall short. So I've decided to use this video to help us get into the zone. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU&feature=edu&list=PL70DEC2B0568B5469

This life we live is possible through expression of this intelligence through the body. The quality of your life is indeed directly proportional to the ability of your nervous system to express this intelligence into the body's cells and systems without neurological interference to compromise its flow. We call these common disturbances spinal subluxation. 
How well is your nervous system performing? Vitallistic Chiropractic removes interference and disturbances in the nervous system, allowing you to express yourself to your fullest potential. This is the primary purpose of each adjustment. The concept of 'potential' is abstract. If we are going to awaken to our own possibilities in this sense, this video will help convince you of your body's awesome potential...

Chiropractic has always been and always will be about the expression of optimum health and wellness. Chiropractic is a science and life centred philosophy. Both are applied through an art which has never been about treating or relieving symptoms like back and neck pain. Wellness Chiropractic is a lifestyle choice that allows internal well-being to surge from our cells.  It enhances quality of life, and individual performance at every level. Have your family checked for interference to their nervous system today.

Until the end of October we are offering free health scans (HRV) on our new Pulse Wave Profiler!  This instrument measures neural performance and gives two number values that tell you about how much energy you have in reserve and also how well you are adapting to life. This important insight will inspire and motivate you to be the best you can be. Give us a call or drop into the website  http://www.pikechiropractic.com  to book your experience of the Heart Rate Variability score.

Why Does Regular Chiropractic Care Pay Off Like a Homerun?

Why Does Regular Chiropractic
Care Pay Off Like a Home Run?

This year it is my privilege to sponsor the Georgina Ladies Fun Baseball League. Over the years of my chiropractic practice in Georgina I have shared my passion for what I do with each of my teams. It is a great way to change lives as I make my contribution to our community.

In this brief article I’m going to address one of the biggest obstacles that prevents many people from experiencing chiropractic and its benefits in their lives. I have a saying that applies here...”If people knew what I knew; they would do what I do”. The biggest piece of this is that chiropractic philosophy is misunderstood. The main premise of our profession is that the body is designed to be self-healing, if given the chance.

How is this possible? The central nervous system is your body’s master operating system. Think of this as the brain-body connection. The science of this is that everything you are doing all day every day is being experienced through and because of your nervous system. Your brain is designed by Life to regulate all of your organs. You use this system to process the emotion of a sunset... Do you see that this is true? Good! The only way the brain can send and receive energy and information is your spinal chord. How important is it that this spinal system is functioning properly so that 100% of these life-messages are transmitted? Are you with me?

The art of what I do as a chiropractor specializing in health and wellness is to use sensitive scanners and my own system of muscle testing to detect disturbances in your spinal pathways that chiropractors call Subluxation. The purpose of a specific chiropractic adjustment is to remove subluxation disturbances in the nervous system. This process of having the spine checked begins with pregnant moms, newborns and continues on a regular basis throughout life. The body is self-healing, self-regulating and self-organizing if given the opportunity.

If you have been enlightened about chiropractic health care by this article, I have a gift to offer you. I’d like to remove all of the barriers that may have preventing you from experiencing the awesome benefits of spinal health. If you take action before August 17th by contacting Pike Chiropractic Healing Centre you are eligible for a health consultation and initial assessment with me for only $55.00 - a 50% savings! I look forward to helping you to change your life for the better.

Yours for health,

Dr. Bob Pike
ps: We have decided to extend this offer to your family and friends too because you are special!

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE by B.J. Palmer, Developer of Chiropractic 1949

The difference between the great, the near great or commoner, is in the limitations of matter -- not in any limitations of the Innate producer within them.
And what limits matter?
The vertebral subluxation -- itself a limitation of matter--which occludes an opening
     producing pressure upon a nerve
     reducing the supply of the producer to the product
     limiting the action of the priduct to repriduce the producer
If there were no vertebral subluxation
     --no occlusion of any vertebral foramina
     --no pressure upon nerves
     --no reduction of supply between producer and product
     --no limitation of product to repreduce the poducer
all men would be equal in producer and product.
    That which scales human beings is their physical inability to climb to the heights of the Innate producer within them
    For this reason the slient and vital factor of human production is entirely wrapped up in the supreme importance of the vertebral subluxation.
   To adjust the subluxation, then, is to advance mankind, step up his efficiency, increase his ability, make him more natural and more at peace within himself; for all things are possible to him whose body equals his Innate.
   Men themselves are not great.  Men are great only insofar as they do something which is construed as great by other men.
   Why are there so few great and near great and so many so far removed from doing great things?
   They are down he ladder of accomplishment on the various rungs of the ladder, somewhere between the top and bottom.
   There is on fundamental answer, subject to two classifications:
   1st.  If there were 100 per cent continuous, uninterupted flow beween Innate brain and Educated brain, the educated thoughts and action would be equivalent to the thoughts and actions of Innate itself.
   There are few.
   There are few 100 per cent, fully alive, healthy and sane educations.
   In exact ratio as they are up the ladder, they are more nearly 100 per cent alive,
healthy and sane.
   In exact ratio as they are seen the ladder below 100 per cent, they are
dying, unhealthy, and insane, and to that exttent they are not great or near-great.
   Innate cannot produce a great 100 per cent external product, via education in a
less that 100 per cent sick or insane education.  Innate must flow fully, freely, naturally, to, through, and into the educated brain to produce what education calls greatness.
   Innate cannot do when there is a vertebral subluxation between Innate and Educated brains which interferes with the 100 per cent normal quantity and quality flow.
   2nd.  In exact ratio as the vertebral subluxation interferes with the normal 100 per cent flow between Innate and Educated, to that extent Innate takes the value of education.
    As the verbebral subluxation creates an insane and unnatural value on education, to that extent the sane and natural becomes unreal --"uneducated."

The above article - written by Dr. B.J. Palmer Developer of the Chiropractic Profession was extracted from the 1949 Volume XXII of his Green Book Series. This piece demonstrates the profound depth of his contemplation of the Big Idea at the heart of this model of health care.  The Innate philosophy is the foundational principle and premise upon which the chiropractic profession is founded. If vertebral subluxation is this devastating in Dr. Palmer's expert opinion, as a dedicated researcher,  master communicator and midwife to the birth of the chiropractic profession, certainly it is time the world was introduced to his perspective. If you find yourself interested to know more or perhaps even to experience the reality of these words, please call Pike Chiropractic to let us know that you are ready to embody and be as great as the potential flowing through your living body
