Imagine having headaches multiple days per week, taking meds all the time to cope with the pain. Now add in now pregnant with twins and they warn you to stop taking the medication. Now what do you do? Trinidad found our office and started chiropractic care and now the headaches are gone, and she isn't popping the pills anymore. Today she told me that she can sleep through the night with no headache and that Chiropractic adjustments have changed her life. www.heilmanchiropractic.net

The recommended levels for Vitamin D have increased 10-Fold in the last 20 years. Are you getting enough, are you taking the right kind of Vitamin D? What are the major problems with not getting enough Vitamin D?

How Seriously are we taking COVID-19 at Heilman Chiropractic? (Our effort to protect our patients and staff from all viruses and contagious infections.) Step 1: If you have any symptoms of any virus - coughing, fever, - you know the symptoms - Please let us know and we will re-schedule your appointment. Step 2: We have special hand sanitizers available at our sign in station and check out stations. These are 70% rubbing alcohol and have aloe and Vitamin E....so they kill t...he cooties without drying out your skin. We selected this specific manufacturer that designs products for health care workers, so we know it is the effective stuff. Step 3: We are wearing face masks and recommend that you do too. We won't mask shame you if you come in without a mask, but we will offer you a free disposable one to use. If you can't wear a mask because of personal health reasons - just let us know - we are really going to be nice about it. Step 4. Frequent hand washing. Before and after each patient treatment - I am thoroughly washing my hands with soap and water. We would love to find out that before you came into our office - that you washed your hands too, and encourage you to do the same when you leave. Don't just rely on hand sanitizers - the thorough hand washing works the best. Step 5. We have really gotten thorough with scrubbing down our therapy tables with soap and water and a disinfecting spray between patients. We will let you know when the table is prepped and ready - please be patient - it will take an extra two minutes for the solution to be thoroughly dry. Step 6. Throughout the day - we disinfect frequently contacted surfaces like doorknobs, countertops, and hand rests throughout the office. Step 7. Air Purification: Every evening our office gets a Two hour air sanitation using an industrial ozone generator. This kills all airborne bacteria and viruses and freshens up the air for the next day. We are taking your health and safety very seriously and want everyone to feel safe during their treatments. We cringe in the wording "new normal" but we do believe that the steps that we have taken are a good policy, and can keep us safer. See more

Actual carpal tunnel syndrome is no joke, and can be caused by nerves being pinched going into the hand and specifically thumb and pointer finger. We offer a non-surgical / non medication approach to relieving the pain and decompressing the nerves involved in this painful condition.

Interesting interview regarding COVID-19 and the nutritional effects of supplementing Vitamin D, and some of the thinking of why "dark skinned" people are more severely effected by this virus. https://youtu.be/tBSfIckPV44 Are you supplementing with Vitamin D? How much are you supplementing? ***CAUTION - there are some swear words in this interview

Hey gang... I don’t normally share stuff like this in here but I believe this is very important to relay to patients to help further calm the fear. Great news from PubMed. Asymptomatic people are not likely to spread COVID-19. Our country was destroyed because they told us that people without symptoms were going to get the elderly sick. They told us that we, as healthy people, must be quarantined because we could still spread the virus. The truth is this. Putting healthy people under house arrest should’ve never have happened. In the study below, 455 people were exposed to someone who had COVID-19 but had no symptoms (asymptomatic). NONE of the 455 people who got exposed were infected. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32405162/

Need to make an appointment or change the time of your Chiropractic appointment but prefer to text the request? You can now use our main office # @ (760) 480-4480. Also you can text to see if we have your nutritional supplements or CBD products in stock before you make a special trip.

To be completely honest with you, we are wearing face masks in the office to comply with the law and guideline mandated by the law, but we really are aware that the recommendation is not as protective as you might believe it to be. https://www.drbrownstein.com/we-must-wear-face-masks-show/

Is Spinal Decompression Researched? Dr. John Leslie, MD, of the Mayo Clinic at the 18th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pain Management (now known as the Academy of Integrative Pain Management), Tampa, FL, September 5, 2007, presented a study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of spinal decompression in the treatment of chronic lower back pain titled "Multi-Center, phase II, a non-randomized pilot study utilizing spinal decompression." Patients enrol...led had an average of ten years with chronic back pain. After two weeks of treatments of spinal decompression, the subjects experienced a 50% reduction in pain scores. Straight from the study, "Upon completion of the entire six week protocol, a success rate of 88.9% was documented." Interesting to note that the Academy of Integrative Pain Management has been shut down in 2019, and is likely a casualty of the War on prescription pain killers (especially opioids). Another crucial reason why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression should be encouraged for those suffering with chronic lower back pain or neck pain due to disc bulging, herniation and overall degeneration. https://youtu.be/nwp2l6R13yw See more

Everyone is talking about Corona-Virus so much that I'm about to never eat at Pick Ups Stix ever again (just kidding) but a lot of people are wondering about Eating for Immunity - or what to eat to fight off viruses. A few weeks ago I was in a conversation with a Pediatric Trauma Surgeon and he said something that if a chiropractor said it - people would say the chiro is nuts - what he said was "the body heals itself, we as doctors just make them more comfortable and keep th...em alive during the fight" - WHOA, WOW, SAY THAT AGAIN. So back to what to eat if you have a virus: Just to let you know -- eating poorly can make you ill, and eating poorly while ill can extend your illness -- so if your diet is lousy, you'll get sick more often than someone who eats a healthier diet. What to eat when ill: GARLIC - acts as an antibiotic and lessens the severity of colds and other infections CHICKEN SOUP - Commonly touted as a food for colds, chicken soup (the homemade stuff - not from a can) provides fluids and electrolytes, is warm and soothing, and may also contain anti-inflammatory properties that decrease cold symptoms. Add in in a variety of stew vegetables like carrots and celery and potato for anti-oxidants and potassium and magnesium, and pink himalayan salt for seasoning for lots of diverse mineral nutrients. HONEY -- Has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and is an effective cough suppressant. In one study it was as effective as a cough suppressing drug. A few teaspoons in a cup of green tea is all you need. Choose raw and Organic honey!!! ELDERBERRIES--These have antiviral properties and are loaded with phytonutrients. A few small studies have found that elderberry extract reduces the duration of colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. WATER--Stay hydrated, this is important whether you are sick or healthy. CITRUS FRUITS - oranges, lemon and grapefruit: Perfect time to get these - they are in season so fresh citrus is easy to acquire especially in southern california and it is a rich source of Vitamin C and bioflavinoids.
