Let's say that we had two different bottles (brands) of fish oils sitting side-by-side. Each bottle had 1,000 mg capsules. Are the capsules the same? The answer is NO.
Here's why: With regard to omega-3, there are HUGE differences with regard to sources, quality, and quantity. The best source of omega-3 oil is from cold salt-water fish such as sardines, anchovies, and salmon. Warm water and fresh water fish are not considered acceptable sources of omega-3. Did we say that eating warm water and fresh water fish was bad? No, we did not. They just aren't good sources of omega-3. With regard to quality, a lot has to do with the extraction process of the oil from its source, as well as the elimination of PCBs, dioxins, furans, PAHs, mercury, and of course, other heavy metals. You obviously want to remove the unwanted junk while still preserving the quality of the oil. When it comes to the right amount, heroes what you must know: At the very least, an average adult should be taking no less the 1,000 EPA per day. We did not say, "1,000 mg of omega-3 or fish oil per day." We specifically mentioned EPA. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is the heart and soul of fish oil. It, along with DHA (which is much more important for little ones and nursing moms), are what counts when it comes in omega-3 oil. Two 1,000 mg capsules may have very different levels of EPA. Some have as little as 70mg, and others have as much as 750 mg. The point? Oil...is not oil...isn not oil. You have to know what to look for. I recommend only looking for these types of fish oils at high quality health food stores and perhaps the local whole foods or Vitamin Shoppe.

We spend a lot of our lives sleeping. Therefore, an important aspect of sleep is the type of pillow we are using. There are many choices out there but one brand I recommend is PIllowise. I have tried many pillows throughout the years and haven't found one that feels as good as this pillow. It also focuses on your unique neck and finding the right fit for your body.

Recently a colleague of mine posted a message on what principled chiropractic was all about. "Back and neck pain has very little to do with Chiropractic. Although we see those types of conditions resolve, it isn't its purpose. There are trillions upon trillions of cells working to keep us alive. All of which are predicated on proper nerve function. Thus the reason why Chiropractic was never designed to be a replacement for an aspirin or anything therapeutic (medical). The intention of the Chiropractor is to restore the body to proper nerve system functioning thus enabling you to function and perform at an optimal level both physically and psychologically."

What would happen if the foundation of a house is shifted? Perhaps cracks begin to develop over time. If all one did was patch up the walls, would it get to the root of the issue? Until the foundation of the house is addressed, cracks would just continue to develop. Similarly, the foundation of our body is our spine. The foundation of our spine is the upper neck area. When this area has abnormal alignment, the rest of the body is imbalanced.

Testing is an important part of life. Think about how it would be if you went to your MD and they guessed whether or not you had blood pressure just by looking at you instead of actually testing you.
As a upper cervical chiropractor, one of the objective tests that we use is neurological scanning. Your nerve system is electrical. What happens is when there is an abnormality in the upper neck area, that electrical system gets compromised. As a result, abnormal heat distribution shows up. The neurological scan is able to measure this heat utilizing infrared thermography. Thermography is so crucial because it ultimately is a gauge of when your body needs a correction and more importantly when it doesn't need one. Imagine if your MD told you to take blood pressure medication when your blood pressure is normal. It would be foolish.

One of the biggest myths in Chiropractic is that when you go once you have to go the rest of your life. If my dentist told me to brush my teeth because of the build of debris, do I have to do it? If my personal trainer showed me how to lift properly, do I have to do it? If my nutritionist told me to eat certain foods that match my body and blood type, do I have to do it? The obvious answer is NO.
Once we stabilize the upper neck area and restore proper neurological function in your body. We recommend protecting the work that we have accomplished. Imagine if you worked really hard to get a 6 pack type of body. What would happened if you decided to stop working out? You would loose it. I had braces on to correct the abnormal alignment of my teeth and chose not to be diligent wearing my retainer and now the bottom row of my teeth are out of alignment and I would need braces to fix it. Being proactive about your health is much better than reactive and waiting for secondary conditions to show up.

One of the causes of cavities in your teeth are eating a lot of sugary foods and not brushing your teeth. As we have discussed before, secondary conditions such as neck and back pain, headaches, are called secondary conditions because they had a primary cause.
In our case, the primary condition is a Neural Abnormality, aka, abnormal neurological function. The brain is what controls the healing in your body and when there are obstructions at the brain stem level, where the upper neck is, global dysfunction can occur throughout the body interfering with the healing process. The three main causes are physical, chemical, and emotional. Examples of physical are sporting injuries, slips and falls as a child, accidents, and poor sleeping posture. Examples of chemical are poor nutrition, environmental stresses such as mold. Examples of emotional are stress and anxiety. The mixture of these three factors are what contribute to the development of Neural Abnormalities in your body.

One of the most common questions that I get from patients is how long it will take for them to get better?
The truthful answer is we don't know. First and foremost there are never guarantees of results. Just like if you go to a oncologist, they will never guarantee that they can get rid of your cancer. However, we can make suggestions based on science. The upper neck area is held together by muscles, soft tissues, and ligaments. If you think about it, joints that are held together by soft tissues, muscles, and ligaments take time to heal. The average shoulder injury with a operation can take from 6 months to a year to regain even some sense of normalcy. That is why we tell patients to give it 6 months to see the effect of treatment on their bodies. Even with braces, the average time it takes to correct alignment can be from 6 months to 2 years.

A building with a weak foundation will crumble over time. A building with a weak foundation will most likely have creaking floors, stuck windows, and cracks in the wall.
The foundation of our entire spine is the upper neck area. When the upper neck has abnormal alignment, it throws the rest of the spine out of This can lead to secondary conditions such as neck and back pain, muscle spasms/tension, headaches, and numbness and tingling throughout the body.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that affects many people. It can have a variety of different secondary conditions. Some of the most common are numbness, tingling, fatigue in any part of the hand including the wrist.
Often those who opt to get surgery find themselves back at square one as the issues just come back. The real question is what can be the cause of Carpal Tunnel? The medical research journal The Lancet did a study which found that 7 out of 10 carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist issues) had Neural Abnormalities in their Neck. At Precision, we specialize in the detection and correction of Neural Abnormalities of the Neck.
