Step 3 “The Set”

Step 3 “The Set”

The last step is to reeducate the bodys support muscles to hold and maintain your newly corrected positions. We call this the SET. THe body’s weaker areas must be rebuilt. Our approach to this through a precise spinal exercise is through a precise spinal weighting and exercise system. The system features specific isometric spinal exercises head, shoulder and hip weights designed expressly for the patient. This rebuilding allows the bodys nerve system to to become reprogrammed against gravity,making each correction permanent. A larger curvature (generally above 25 degrees) will require the use of the scoliosis chair (STC). The STC removes the stress of gravity and allows the patient to “work out” in a scoliosis free enviroment. The STC uses high-level vibration,which causes the muscles of the spine to contract at a higher frequency then normal, accelerating healing. The STC along with all of the set procedures rededucates the brain to hold the corrected spinal position.

Step 2 ”The Fix”

“The Fix Procedure” Once the supporting spinal structures are loosened and pliable. the doctor will then direct the spine into proper alignment through safe and effective spinal adjustments referred to us as the FIX. Our method of adjusting is based off of years of clinical research by hundreds of doctors. Hartley Chiropractic has compiled this research and selected “the best of the best”!

Eckard Table

The Leander Eckard table flexes up and down loosening the tightened muscles and ligaments that are present in a scoliotic spine. The motion also pumps nutrients into the spinal discs, improving spinal health. Patients are positioned to open up the scoliotic curve and rehabilitate the wedged discs.

Core Stim

The core stim creates two different vibratory frequencies that are applied to targeted areas to relax overactive muscles and loosen tight ligaments and tendons directly supporting the spine.

Equipment used during ”The Mix”

The Wobble Chair. In the scoliotic spine, The discs become wedged and immobile. Adding to the problem, discs no longer receive blood supply after the start of puberty. Therefore,the only way fluid and nutrients can get in to the discs to keep them healthy through motion. The specific movement of the wobble chair pumps nutrients into the discs and increases spinal flexibility. The wobble chair heats up those tissues, making everything pliable and preparing your spine for the other MIX procedure.

Scoliosis Correction Step 1 ” The Mix”

Step 1 – “The MIX”
The scoliotic spine has tight muscles, ligaments and tendons that have evolved over time with the scoliosis. Our first step in correction is to “loosen them up”,also known as the MIX. Spinal flexibility is one of the key factors in scoliosis reduction. The MIX develops this imperative flexibility in that spine. Hartley Chiropractic Scoliosis Correction Clinic has specialized equipment that has been designed solely for this purpose. This process is generally painless and relaxing for the patient.

Nature Pulls a “Jurassic Park” on GMO’s and Anti-Biotics

We have known for decades that the daily use of anti-biotics in hand lotion, soaps, cleaning products, and the over prescribing of anti-biotics have resulted in anti-biotics evolving millions of years in less than 100 years of there use on Earth. Peolpe today commonly die from infections contracted in hospitals due to these super bugs breading between their walls.

Now, crop related insects have joined the fun. GMO crops designed to increase yields and kill insects are resulting in Super Insects that quickly evolve to what ever the GMO manufactures.

Man cannot win in an arms race against nature. The answer is a daily lifestyle that promotes healing from the inside out.

Stay healthy with Paleo Diet verse Vaccines

I thank my wonderful wife for sending me this great article. I am so grateful for her study of nutrition leading her to the Paleo Diet. Our family meals today center around veggies, nuts, seeds, and grassfeed meat and eggs.

The standard American diet with white sugar, white flour, and countless additives including hormones and pesticides produces sickness. Americans are told vaccines prevent illness while they continue to eat processed grains and sugar. Americans keep eating junk, taking drugs and continue to get sick.

The article focuses on the Paleo Diet reducing infections, allergies and mucus in the body thus preventing dis-ease. The body is now functioning more effeciently and has more energy to fight invaders as well.

Mammography Screening Truth, Lies, and Controversy findings confirmed by recent British Medical Journal Article

In the book, Mammography Screening Truth, Lies and Controversy Peter C. Gotzsche reveals how in doing research in Europe on Mammography he stumbled on a very interesting fact. Although there were claims that Mammography saved lives, the fact is the overall death rate in countries where mammography was introduced did not go down. Upon bringing this information to the goverment and the healthcare community he was attacked. It was obvious that what he stumbled upon what would throw a wrench in the health care system as we know it today. Huge amounts of money were invested in Mammography equipement, and resultant drugs and surgery for people with false positives.

If someone has surgery on a false positive they are considered a cancer survivor after five years. But, what the recent British Medical Journal article confirmed was that with a 25 year follow up the over all cancer death rate has not been reduced. And this is why in most countries the recommendation for Mammography has been reduced. Because of the money, power and emotions related to the subject in the USA our country has struggled with what he proper recommendation should be.

Thermography is a non-invasive alternative way to monitor potential breast cancer. High tech heat sensing camera images create a map of the breast. Certain patterns or heat increases indicate the possibility of cancer and then further studies are needed.
