Network/Bio-integrative Chiropractors

Body: 

Just wanted to share with everyone that since January I have been working with a network/bio-integrative chiropractor. For those not familar with this style, it is very gentle. No snap-crackle-pop of your spine. If one way of adjusting doesn't work, the chiropractor has alternative methods to gently achieve the same results necessary. The chiropractor works with the "whole person" - involving the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the person. Energy work is involved to achieve optimal balance. I have noticed a couple of times in recent sessions that I may go into my session feeling a bit of prolaspe but when I am finished with the session the feeling of prolaspe has been relieved. (I am a stage one cystocele). I have also achieved much more stability with my spine. In addition, I am doing acupuncture, massage and cranial sacral therapy - and the stretches/exercises from Christine's book and video plus walk every day. I am also very conscious of the food I eat as well. Speaking of food - does anyone have any comments regarding juicing and its benefits to our diet? Is it worth it to juice? Would be interested in any feedback.

Hi Evie,

I'm glad some chiropractors are leaving the narrow confines of their profession to become more progressive. I found a doctor of chiropractic years ago who helped me, but as a whole it seems to me that the practice, in order to have been at all accepted by the medical profession (remember - if a certain method of healing was not accepted, no way could you survive the tar brush of medicine i.e. being labeled a "quack") had to in some ways resemble western medicine. I find it astonishing that they, too, don't readily teach the differences in the male and female spine, nor how to affect your own healing through posture.

Hi Evie.
You asked if anyone out there juices. I do and have for a number of years. I seem to go in spurts with my juicing but would still highly recommend this concentrated food. I am more than willing to share my favorite recipe with you if you are interested. Juicing is very beneficial for people who are not well. I have a champion juicer and a vita-mix. I use both. Yum. :+
