Did you know that your foot has 3 arches?

A Fantastic New Approach to the Old Orthotics

All 3 arches of your foot form the Plantar Vault which absorbs the damaging shock of walking and running.

The 3 arches normally develop by age 7 but poor genetics, injuries or incorrect footwear can cause them to drop or not form properly.

Once the main foot ligament is stretched, the foot arches no longer hold you up. With each step your foot now rolls-in too much, causing your legs to ‘twist’ and put your whole body out of alignment.

By functional and balancing your feet, Foot levellers orthotics and Soul Revolution enhance your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness!! Our orthotics complement your healthcare professional’s treatment when you stand, walk, and live your life in balance.

Unlike generic, over-the-counter orthotics, our Functional orthotics are individually designed for your unique postural problems — not just problems with your feet. We believe that correcting imbalances in your feet can properly align your spine and pelvis. Now from the manufacturer:

History

The Story of Our Founder

He wanted to enlist. Instead, he found his calling.

It was 1942, and the war was raging. A young man from Iowa, Monte H. Greenawalt, wanted to help.

But his preparations didn’t go as planned. A tainted batch of vaccinations killed many, and left Monte paralyzed. He was forced to lie in an iron lung for six months. “Monte will have to live the rest of his life as a paraplegic,” the doctors told his devastated family.

A Chiropractor changed that. “They carried him in and he walked out,” his mother would recall. Monte’s path was now clear, and in 1948, he earned his degree from Lincoln Chiropractic College.

As a young doctor, Dr. Monte began to notice a pattern: patients, especially ones with foot problems, were returning to him with the same back, joint, knee and hip problems they started with—his adjustments just weren’t holding. Dr. Monte referred these patients to a podiatrist, but their problems persisted.

Dr. Monte began to experiment with orthotics, and through trial and error, developed a formula based on 16 unique measurements of the foot. Unlike off-the-shelf orthotics or even those made by podiatrists, Dr. Monte’s orthotic was designed to support all 3 arches of the foot, rather than just one. His patients began to feel better, results improved; his adjustments held longer.

Demand for his services grew. In 1952, Foot Levelers, Inc. was born.

In the decades since, Foot Levelers has served tens of thousands of doctors and millions of patients. A strong supporter of the profession that made us possible, Foot Levelers is also active philanthropically by supporting Chiropractic research, education and causes. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made in patients’ lives and in healthcare as a whole, and we invite you to join us.

Pain is Not the Problem

   Many people begin their chiropractic care because of an ache or a pain, with all the revamping and rail work it can put you over the edge.

Dodging and weaving traffic, we seek shortcuts   I’m sure you did the same.

   The pain that you have can be distracting, debilitating, irritating or annoying.

   Pain can be chronic, acute, intense or intermittent, and its only going to get worse.

   Pain can be sharp or dull. And pain can be localized or general moving around Mango Hill.

   Pain may be a pain, but pain is not the problem in Mango Hill!

Pain is a symptom Not the Cause.

Mango Hill travellers be aware its  A signal.   A sign.   An indicator.   A warning. You should pay attention.

   *Pain is no more a problem than the traffic light, slow speeds or your traffic controller jarring you awake.*

   If there’s a problem, it’s the meaning we attach to the pain. Its not the Train.

   When we meet patients from Mango Hill who are in pain, our first thought is that they must have exceeded some physical, chemical or emotional limit to which they can not adapt. Most feel desolate like the Kangaroos in our yard – Lost in Pain

   So, while we’re interested in the pain, we’re even more interested in what was the cause of the pain to Mango Hill residents. Did it just happen? Has it been present along time? What brought it on? What change(s) should be made to avoid this in the future?

   Do you know someone in Mango Hill who thinks pain is a problem? Have them call the office today. The consultation is FREE. In our practice, pain is never a problem!

Associated Pain

“YOU, do NOT have to feel like the Burpengary man here in

the picture. You DO have choices.”

Ok five points of concern for us here in Burpengary.

If you’ve had a health condition, back or neck pain or any type of pain in your body, make sure you understand the consequences if you don’t take care of it correctly, were divided by a freeway and drivers cutting thru to Morayfield, just braking and turning your head to avoid the nutty ones, whiplashes your neck enough to make pain six weeks after heavy braking.

The facts are: People are going from 110 km/h to 40, grinding to a halt, queing or breaking as the mob head into the rail station or Maccas. Your body may be inflamed and swollen – – so there may be problems with your body and how it functions and responds. Getting around Station Rd Roundabout is more daunting than a lunar landing

When you’re adjusted into better alignment,its better than that new car feeling,  you drive with a smile, start feeling better – and it gets better… once you have adjusted to the change in your body.

That can take a few days, but never try to rush thru Burpengary, every time you adjust your rear view mirror it shows you your neck is out of alignment.

REMINDER: If you have a friend or family member who is experiencing driver and office “acute” or “chronic” pain, don’t put up with it. Get them to call this office immediately, so they can get checked and drive smooth with a courteous smile gently braking as you are back in control. Remember that freeway camera can do the side road parallel to it into Burpengary

Is Your ‘Neck Pain’ Serious – Yes?

When is a pain in the neck more than just a pain in the neck? When is it the sign that something more serious may be involved?

Neck pain is caused by a pinched nerve, a muscle strain, a bone out of place or pressure on a vessel moving fluids so one side of the neck may experience more pain more than the other. But when neck pain is accompanied by other symptoms, it may be cause for concern. It should not get worse or stay the same. Neck pain self heals in three days, if not call us, Dr Steve can call you back to suggest remedies.

For example, neck pain with vomiting and a stiff neck may indicate meningitis. If you cannot touch your chin to your chest and experience drowsiness, confusion and/or sensitivity to bright lights – call a medical doctor right away. Once checked and cleared you can call my office for an appointment.

Neck pain with weakness in the arms and tingling in the fingers may indicate a herniated disc, which is pressure on a nerve root due to a narrowing of the spinal cord canal. Call my office immediately.

Neck pain and trouble moving your head without pain? This could signal fibromyalgia particularly if it just lingers, hangs around or doesn’t seem to quite go away, a condition that causes pain in your muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons. It could also be a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that affects your joints, particularly those in your feet, knees and hands – big with high acid diets, electricucian, repeat steroid treatments by drugs more than 9 month’s. After checking with your medic come in, or more than 30 days duration make an appointment.

Neck pain after a traffic accident is usually referred to as “whiplash,” because the neck, when you are in a car that is hit, tends to snap suddenly forward and then backward, causing what is known as cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome. Again call me immediately following an accident, no matter how minor, Ill talk you thru it. Soe pains start 6 weeks after, one group 12 months, the worst kind gradually develop 2 years or more after due to scar tissue infiltration.

A lot of people experience neck pain at some time in their lives. I’ve received training that helps me to locate the causes of your neck pain, restoring normal mobility in your neck and other affected body parts. I have done 14 years as a volunteer search and rescuer, many years in road accident rescue (RAR) and worked along side Peter Brock and the SS Commodore team, I know my stuff.

Si in addition, I’ll determine whether you have a relatively minor issue you can restore at home with a few simple tricks of the trade, or whether you require a more intense treatment plan, or a complete rebuild like the car. Please advise us regarding any neck pain you are experiencing, whether or not the pain is severe. Your pain may start out SMALL, but it can get really bad, and this usually happens late at night or on the weekends, so CALL ME NOW if you have pain or some of the symptoms I mentioned. Necks Hurt!

So, after you call, I’ll examine you thoroughly. I try to restore normal feeling and function in your neck and other affected body parts as quickly as possible. If you select to continued care we will help ensure that the muscles and joints in your neck and back remain in optimal working condition to keep you living life to your fullest potential, without restriction. Pain is something that you never want to cover up before you find out what’s causing it. And if your too far gone well work with your health team to slow it down

Disc lesions are serious.Their graded 1 to 5, I do 1-3. If you have neck pain or any other types of pain, call my office now. Chiropractors are experts at being able to distinguish different types of neck problems, so make that call or give this to a friend that needs assistance. We are here for one thing. To help you. We are next to the Redcliffe Hospital if your staying after the prang

Five Important Things You Do Not

Want To Forget

1. Your nervous system runs (coordinates) your entire body, and everything that it does, internally.

2. Any pressure on your nerves can lead to disease.

3. Your symptoms are the last phase of body dysfunction, not the first. Once you have symptoms, you’ve had the problems you are now experiencing for years.

4. The 1st spinal injury, better known in this office as a subluxation – can happen from birth – and usually does.

5. Healing takes time. Abnormal tissue that is going to be replaced by normal tissue, takes time. Just because you feel better, doesn’t mean that you are healed. Pain is just a symptom, not an indicator of health.

If someone you know is experiencing symptoms or

just not feeling well, please take the time to mention us.

You could be saving their life!

How to Save TIME, MONEY EFFORT & heal faster.

 Health Orientation Workshop!!

Each Tuesday @ 6:30 pm

Get out of pain FASTER!!!

Bring your partner/parent/teacher/boss/friend & people who get pain

Why is there a popping sound when a joint is adjusted?

I know a lot of people do not understand what that popping sound is so I’m going to explain that to you right now.

Adjustment of a joint may result in the release of a gas bubble between the joints, which makes a “popping sound.” The same thing occurs when you “crack” your knuckles.

The noise is caused by the change of pressure within your joints, which results in gas bubbles being released. There is usually minimal, if any, discomfort involved.

If you haven’t been adjusted regularly, you need to take care of your body as this will help it maintain something we call homeostasis. When you keep your body aligned, it functions better… and you feel better.

Is Chiropractic Treatment Appropriate for Children?

Good question isn’t it?

Well the answer is simple. Yes, children can benefit in a big way from getting regular chiropractic care.

As you know, children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. When they’re YOUNG, they’re always falling, especially when they’re learning how to walk.

They get hurt. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort, and if it the child doesn’t hurt, that doesn’t mean his spine is aligned.

Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient, and we’re geared toward helping your children be as healthy as they can be.

An adjustment to their spine is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, it is very gentle. If you care about your children, make sure they’re checked and adjusted if necessary.

Anything living depends on a certain environment in order to not only survive, but to grow and thrive. One of the most important factors that impacts environment is pH… the balance between acid elements and alkaline elements.

Let’s take a look at how pH affects life.

Plants need the soil that they live in to have an optimal pH. If the pH is off a little bit, growth will not be optimal. If it’s off by a lot, the plant will literally DIE.

Just like plants, fish require an optimal environment to live in. For example, the water that fish swim around in and the coral reefs that are so vitally important to our entire ecosystem must be properly pH balanced and regulated in order for live to happen. Too much acid throws off balance and destroys life.

As a matter of fact, EVERYTHING in life…MUST have a properly pH balanced environment in the inside AND the outside of it – ‘in order to live’. 

Your body is no different.

If you want to experience a VIBRANT body and a VIBRANT life, you need to create a vibrant environment on the inside of your body…and that starts with the right pH.

Inner balance…pH balance…will create the outer balance you desire.

In terms of your body, the optimal pH for your blood and fluids that make up over 70% of your body weight is roughly 7.37. That means a pH that’s slightly alkaline.

If your body becomes acidic, which is like a 6, problems begin. If it becomes chronically acidic, you now have the type of environment that breeds a whole host of health problems. 

Research shows a direct correlation between excess acidity and obesity, diabetes, arthritis, acid reflux, cholitis, IBS, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and on and on.

So, the first question you might have is…”OK, how do I know what the pH of my body is?”

The answer is simple…

Test.

Come to the office so we can test Your pH!

I can’t emphasize this enough… the regulation of your pH is as important to your health as the regulation of temperature is. If you had a fever of 38 and your body is out of its REQUIRED temperature range of 36-37 degrees, you’d go take care of THAT before you worried about losing those extra kilos…right?

pH is no different.

If you’re too acidic, NOTHING in your body is going to work right… So, get your pH checked now!
