Why do I need to be adjusted if I’m not in pain??
Every science of healing has what is known as an “avenue of approach.” In the field of medicine, a hypodermic needle injects drugs through the skin; a pill is swallowed and goes into the stomach. There need not be anything wrong with either the skin or the stomach. They are merely the “avenues” through which the drugs gain access to the body.

In the field of chiropractic, the ‘avenue of approach’ is primarily the spine, for this is the framework which houses and protects the spinal cord, the ‘switchboard’ of the nervous system. From the brain, nerves pass down the spinal cord and out to different parts of the body. The nerves leave the spinal cord through openings between the spinal bones, or vertebrae.
When these vertebrae get out of alignment, interference with the normal activity of the nerves can result. Since science has proven that every function of the entire body is under the control of the nervous system, this interference can disturb normal function throughout.

Now you know why you need to be adjusted regularly!

Aesthetic Natural Medicine, the new rage with Utah Valley chiropractic patients

Utah Valley chiropractic patients now have the option to use natural medicine injections to enhance their natural beauty.   Dr. Stone offers Bio-Mesotherapy injections in his office that can make a difference in the way you look and feel.

There was a time when your skin radiated youthful vitality, health, and beauty.  This was before aging, loss of collagen, wrinkles, sun damage, stress, and toxins took their toll.   Bio-Mesotherapy injestions can help you restore that beauty.  What about unwanted fat and cellulite deposits?  Bio-Mesotherapy injections may help you regain the smooth, firm belly, thighs, arms, chin, breast, and neck of your youthful body.

The technique of Bio-Mesotherapy uses minimally invasive injections of biotherapeutic medicines under the skin surface.

Bio-Mesotherapy has a variety of applications.  The most popular uses include:

  • Facial biorevitalization
  • Reduction in appearance of lines, wrinkles, cellulite and body fat
  • Support in toning arms, thighs, chin, breasts, and belly

This method in aesthetics begins working at the cellular level to give you a vibrant, toned, and rejuvenated face and body.  It rejuvenates your natural collagen-producing mechanisms, taking years off your face and skin; they may also stimulate your own natural fat-burning mechanisms, helping your body convert fat into energy.

Newest pain management for Utah County

The latest pain management for Utah County chiropractic patients is here at Dr. Stone’s office.  Pain is a sign that something is wrong within the body.  Instead of simply masking the physical pain, Dr. Stone uses methods to treat pain at the source.  Pain management medicines are very effective because they address all of the body’s systems and all sources of your pain.  By injecting very small amounts of medicine just under the skin, the body’s regulatory systems respond by releasing it’s own anti-inflammatory and pain relieving substances to give you immediate relief.  At the same time, your body’s natural healing processes are stimulated to address the cause of your pain and provide long term relief.

The process by which the medicines are delivered offer immediate relief of acute pain, and the medicine itself treats chronic pain at the source.

Homeopathic Injectables

Homeopathic injections are available at Stone Chiropractic in Pleasant Grove, UT.  Here is an introduction to homeopathic injectables to help you decide if this avenue of healing  is one you should try.

By Dr. Wilfried Stock

Homeopathic injectables must be manufactured in accordance with the rules of the official
European pharmacopoeia if they claim to be homeopathic. They are used therapeutically in
various “special” forms of treatment such as anthroposophic medicine, antihomotoxic medicine,
combination homeopathy and classic homeopathy.
More than 120 million ampoules of homeopathic or anthroposophic medicinal products are now
manufactured and distributed in the EU every year. Over 90% of these products are produced by
German homeopathic and anthroposophic manufacturers.
The parenteral dosage form was first described in the specialist homeopathic literature in the 19th
century [1]. Since then, homeopathic therapists have studied and made practical use of what was
at that time, a method of administration completely new to homeopathy [2].
Bergmann [l.c., 2] expressly states that it is advantageous for the homeopathic remedy if it does
not have to pass through the gastrointestinal tract where it is severely altered by the gastric and
intestinal juices. In this author’s view, potentized homeopathic remedies work best when applied
unchanged to the mucosa or – even better – injected under the skin or into the bloodstream.
However, the same author mentions that not all cases of disease can be treated using parenteral
administration, and that it is up to the doctor to make the appropriate choice. He also recommends
using the “injection method” only when the symptoms of the disease leave no doubt as to the
choice of the right “similar” and treatment via the internal (oral) route has failed to have any effect.
The new method of administration does not in any way alter the homeopathic character of the
remedy in question, the author continues. It also does not alter the validity of the Law of Similars,
as is impressively demonstrated by specimen cases.
In the same study the author also describes “injections” of high potencies (D 30 and D 300).
The mother tincture was prepared by succussion with water instead of alcohol [l.c. 2, p. 67].
The number of injections given depended on the course of the healing process.

As already indicated above, subcutaneous and intravenous administrations were the first
parenteral forms of administrations used in homeopathy. They have been joined in the past
50 years by others such as intramuscular, intracutaneous, intraarticular and
periarticular forms of administration.  These were among other things a result of the

introduction of new treatment techniques such as homeosiniatry [3], neural therapy and

biopuncture by J. Kersschot [4]. All these invasive techniques exploit the advantage gained by administering the homeopathicremedy locally, directly to acupuncture points or trigger points.
These treatment techniques are used mainly to treat injuries, various types of headache,
muscular pain and tendon pain, and acute and chronic inflammatory processes [4].
The main reason for injecting homeopathic solutions into trigger points or into particular
acupuncture points is that injecting the homeopathic remedy at that point markedly
intensifies the healing effect. In the case of administration at an acupuncture point,
the penetration of the injection cannula produces a stimulus similar to that of an
acupuncture needle.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is based on restoration of the body’s natural healing ability.  This power or energy is called “QI” (pronounced “chi”).  It has been called different names by different cultures, however this “Life Force” or Innate Intelligence is the essence of self healing.  The intent of acupuncture therapy is to promote health and alleviate pain by carefully restoring the natural flow of chi or qi as it circulates through 14 known pathways, called meridians.  Meridians are connected to bodily organ systems.  Very simply, acupuncture works  very much like chiropractic, restoring this natural flow of qi to areas that are weak or lack the indispensable life force.

The acupuncture treatment involves the use of very fine needles which are inserted into the meridians to open the passages of the energy flow.  In most cases the tiny needles are about the size of a human hair.  The insertion is almost unnoticed by the patient.  In our office, a very light electrical current is sent through some of the needles.  This speeds up the recovery time and decreases visit frequency.

Acupuncture therapy is a technique that is employed to balance one’s bodily energy.  Inherent to living things is that energy or polar forces (positive and negative) which are vital to the life process.

Weight-loss discovery

High vitamin D is linked to 80%less belly fat. That’s what the researchers at University of Minnesota found: “What’s interesting about our weight-loss study is that we didn’t recruit people to be insufficient in vitamin D – we recruited people who were overweight, and they happened, on average, to have inadequate D levels,” explains the study’s lead author Shalamar Sibley, M.D.

Michael F. Holick, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of medicine, physiology and biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine explains, “If you’ve got a lot of fat, the amount of vitamin D you’re taking in may be the same as a thinner person, but it’s diluted substantially, so you’re going to have less vitamin D in your bloodstream.”  “Vitamin D reduces fat and that’s the reason people with higher levels are skinnier,” says John J. Cannell, M.D., founder and executive director of the Vitamin D Council.

The best blood test  to have is the “25 – hydroxyvitamin D test,” which tests for the circulating form of the vitamin.  Dr. Holick cautions, “Many doctors test for the active form, but some people have serious vitamin D deficiencies even when their activated levels appear to be normal.”

The other key to this puzzle is magnesium.  If your body is acidic, it will use all your magnesium to jump start your bodily functions and you won’t have any left to porduce the activated form of vitamin D.  So magnesium functions as a critical helper of vitamin D, which in turn helps calcium.  So the best strategy?  Alkalinize your body by greening up and graining down.  Aslo, the negative ion energy bracelets and water filters that are available in my office will help to keep your body in a more alkaline state.

I have more information on this at my office.

Infant Colic

What can I do about colic? It’s so hard for me to hear my baby cry and there seems to be nothing I can do about it!

For any of you that have ridden the emotional rollercoaster of a colicky baby, it isn’t something you soon forget.  The inability of a parent or caregiver to console the child leaves them questioning their parenting skills.  A recent study that evaluated the effects of spinal manipulation versus a common prescription medication (dimethicone) reported:

“Spinal manipulation is effective in relieving infantile colic, and that by the end of the two week trial period, the manipulation group did significantly better than the drug group.  In fact, crying was reduced 2.7 hours per day in the chiropractic group.  In contrast, crying had dropped only 1 hour per day with the use of dimethicone.   In the course of the 12 days of the study, the children being adjusted saw a 67% reduction in crying versus 38% in the drug group.”

Another investigation showed that 91% of parents in the study reported that improvement in colic occurred within one week of treatment.

I have also noticed some supplements that help increase the effectiveness of the adjustment.  Check with me for proper supplementation.

Infant Ear Infections

What can I do about ear infections in my baby?
Otitis media (middle ear infections) is another source of grief for our precious little ones.  There is uncertainty among experts as to the best solution for this common condition.  Recent research has started to show the ineffectiveness of antibiotics for middle ear infections.  In fact the New England Journal of Medicine reported, “Only 1 in 8 children with ear infections benefit from antibiotics, and researchers found that most subjects who received placebo recovered just as quickly as subjects taking prescription antibiotics.”   The study continued “Within one week 81% of placebo subjects had recuperated.”

Of almost greater interest in this study, however, was how lead author Dr. J. Owen Hendley shared the same concerns about prescription side-effects and antibiotic resistance that chiropractors and other holistic health care professionals have worried about for decades.  He advised physicians to prescribe antibiotics for ear infections sparingly, and suggested that practitioners wait 48 to 72 hours before administering drugs as ear infections often mend on their own.

Many studies have shown the connection between mechanical dysfunction of the Eustachian tube and middle ear infections, which make treating ear infections with chiropractic care a reasonable solution.  There are special drops that can be placed in the child’s ear, as well as supplements that can be given that will enhance the chiropractic adjustment and increase the speed of recovery for the child.

The evidence for chiropractic care for mothers and their little bundles is steadily growing in the research literature.

Surgery & Fracture Recovery

Here’s the greatest news: Fractures heal faster with high power laser therapy treatments!

I’ve had laser therapy 3 times a week since my knee replacement.  I went in for my 5 week check up and the Physician’s Assistant said he had never seen a knee after only 5 weeks in such pristine condition.
-RG,  Pleasant Grove UT

One patient came in for laser therapy on a Friday because his doctor was planning surgery if his fracture was not healing by the following Wednesday. He also had laser therapy on Monday, and then went in on Wednesday for x-rays. The doctor took off his cast and threw it away, marveling the whole time about how completely healed the fracture was! What an incredible tool!
