When I was 9 years old (2 years before my paper route 🗞️ would make me flush with cash) Dad sent me to the store. 🏪
When I got home, he asked me for the change except there was one problem. 😐
I spent the rest of it on comic books. Whoops! 🤭
So, I don’t know why they can’t pull off a good Fantastic Four movie 🎥 but, I do know there are 4 essentials of life.
And, that when these 4 life essentials are maintained, they will maximize 🏆 your health potential.
Hint, it’s the same four things we need in order to be alive.
Food 🍔
Water 🌊
and Oxygen 🏃♀️
How long can we live without Food? 4 to 8 Weeks? 📅
How long can we live without Water? Maybe 3 days? 🌅
How long can we live without Oxygen? 5 minutes? ⏱️
Ok, so how long can we live without a nerve impulse? 🔌
Good question! It’s kind of the definition of life 🧬 isn’t it?

Where does health come from, anyway? 🤷
Can it be found in a pill 💊 or at the end of a scalpel?
Let’s consider for a moment… if I move my hand ✋ what controls that?
Any guesses?
My brain 🧠 of course!
But it doesn’t do it by satellite 🛰️ it does it by cable! 🔌
My brain 🖥️ generates life and energy and transmits it through my brainstem, down my spinal cord to my peripheral nervous system.
And, my nervous system directly and indirectly controls and coordinates 🚦 the function of every cell, tissue, and organ of my body.
In order to be healthy, does it make sense that pathway should be clear?
I agree! 👍

Back pain ⚡ can affect every aspect of life.
Sleeping 💤 working, exercising 🏃♀️… any normal activity can be affected.
But, when Sciatica starts radiating down your backside and leg, it can feel like holy water on Dracula 🧛♂️ and can have a real impact on quality of life.
Spinal discs are like a jelly donut 🍩 and if the jelly leaks out, and compresses the sciatic nerve exiting the spine, that’s Sciatica.
Sitting 🪑 lifting 🏋️♂️ or even sneezing 🤧 can make it worse because that can increase the pressure on the disc.
The good news?
Sciatica Can Get Better. 🙋♂️
Because we focus is on finding 🔎 the exact cause of the sciatica.
I’m a real spine geek so, we use our technology 👨💻 to build a functional picture and helps us find problems that could have been missed in the past.

So, if I were to cut 🔪 my arm, what happens?
It would heal 🩹 in a week or two.
What happens if I cut a nerve? 🤔
It might never come back, so Mother Nature 🌬️ is really smart, like Jeopardy smart.
Our central nervous system, our brain 🧠 and spinal cord are totally encased in bone for protection.
Now, the bones 🦴 of our spine are moveable, so we can bend and move and stretch.
And sometimes, because of traumas 🤕 (accident, slip and fall etc.) or microtraumas (repetitive stress injury) these bones can fall into less than ideal movement patterns.
Which can affect the nerves.
Did you know that studies have shown that pressure the equivalent to the weight of a dime 🪙 on a nerve can affect the function of that nerve by 60%?
If only there were a profession that specialized in that sort of thing! 😎

I saw a book 📖 for sale titled “Solve 50% of all of Your Problems”
So, I bought 2! 🤣
Anyway… the problem with problems is they usually go on silently 🤫 at first.
Just like driving a car 🚗 without changing the oil, at first everything is fine.
Eventually the check engine light 🚨 comes on.
What if I just covered that up with a piece of tape. 🤷♀️
The problem becomes more of a problem, until one day…
The engine ⚙️ seizes.
Now I have a crisis 🆘 and in order to solve my crisis, I go to Kings Auto Mall and get a brand-new engine installed.
What I should do now, is the same thing I should have been doing all along, right ⁉️
Maintenance. 😎
I need to maintain 🧑🔧 the health of my car engine.
And my marriage. ⚭
And my heart health. 💓
And my Spine. 🦸♂️
Anything I use and value needs to be maintained on a regular basis to keep it tip top. 🥇
Does that make sense? 👍

The gods 🔱 of ancient Greece 🏛️ were believed to be cruel and jealous, so in that context, their punishment of Prometheus makes sense.
For the crime of stealing fire 🔱 and giving it to humanity, he was chained on top of a mountain where every day and eagle 🦅 would eat his liver and every day it grew back.
In fact, Alexander, 10,000 miles from home believed he found that very mountain ⛰️ while crossing the Hindu Kush.
Now as mere mortals 🙋 we lack the power to become whole again after being torn asunder.
And all too often people will find that they will continue to have pain ⚡ after a spinal surgery.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is estimated to occur in 20% - 40% of all spinal surgeries, with that likelihood increasing with multiple surgeries. ☹️
More specifically when it comes to spinal fusions, studies have shown that fewer than half of all spinal fusions are successful, with up to 94% of people still having back pain after surgery.
That’s why, as imperfect clay, we encourage you to investigate 🕵️ less invasive solutions before committing to more invasive.

Crassus crushed ⚒️ the slave revolt led by Kirk Douglas who just happened to bear a striking resemblance to Spartacus and amassed a huge fortune for himself.
Already the richest man in Rome 🏛️ he partnered with Cesar and Pompey to dominate the Roman political system.
In his quest for further glory and riches he led an army of 30,000 men into the deserts 🐫 of Mesopotamia.
The result was, him seeing his army crushed, his son’s head the tip of a spear, and in a symbolic gesture mocking his greed, the Parthians killed him by pouring molten gold down his throat. ❌ 🥇
Totally unrelated, did you know that elective spinal surgeries increased by 63% over a 12 year period? 🤷
That meant by 2015 there were 199,140 lumbar fusion surgeries, with a corresponding hospital costs increased 177% during that time.
While the average case ballooned to $50,000 💸 per patient.

Apparently, a vampire 🧛♂️ can’t enter your home without an invitation.
But I’m not worried make believe vampires.
I do, however worry ☹️ about the real-life vampires of repetitive stress injury, that literally drain people of their health and vitality.
I worry about people standing on concrete 🧑🏭 for eight hours a day, leading to back pain and sciatica.
I worry about Americans sitting for 40-50 hours per week at a desk, leading to neck pain, shoulder pain, headache , and deconditioning.
I worry about tradesmen 👨🔧 wearing out their hands, and backs, day in and day out.
The good news is you can fight the vampires of chronic movement patterns leading to chronic pain issues.

When I was 4 years old I lived in Grand Cashe, Alberta and my daily entertainment was my mother and I, watching the bears 🐻 🐻 🐻 knock over the garbage cans out our front window.
Growing up, Dad told me that he had heard a story where someone who had gotten too close to a baby cub, tried to escape 🏃♂️ it’s momma by running into a trailer and locking the door.
… and the bear opened that trailer like a sardine can 🐟🥫 to get at him.
No wonder Mom didn’t share my good memories… 😬
Anyway… there are far more car accidents 🚗 💥 than bear attacks in this country.
Like 6 million and year.
And, an estimated 38% of people with chronic neck pain 🤕 believe it began with their car accident.
The good news is Research shows chiropractic care 😎 can improve range of motion and decrease the pain associated with whiplash.

I used to think I was a hot shot 🔥 but it got me too.
Right now, at this moment over 540 million human beings 👫 are suffering from low back pain.
It’s the number one cause of disability in the world.
And, disability from chronic back pain has risen more than 50 percent 📈 since 1990 with a third of patients having a repeat episode within a year.
The problem is, research is now reporting that back pain is often treated improperly. ☹️
As it stands, low back pain leads to 2.6 million emergency room visits each year where many patients are told to take time off from work, and are often referred for expensive imaging, followed by prescribed painkillers (prescribed in 60% of such cases), and surgery.
In contrast, evidence from around the world suggests that for low back pain, the first step should be education, urging patients to stay active, and that low back pain cases respond to simple manual therapies.
