Transformation of the Month- May
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010I had headaches, backaches, bad posture, and bad balance. I struggled pretty badly. In school, I would get migraines, forcing me to have to go home because I felt so bad. This made my grades suffer. I also struggled in sports. I couldn’t run fast when I played baseball, basketball, and football.
Well, I always had bad balance and it would affect my running. I began having headaches, migraines, and backaches in 5th grade football. I have lived with these problems for 7 years. I was born with minor problems but when I played football in 5th grade, it threw me further out of whack. When it was at its worst, I felt terrible and never wanted to get out of bed. I didn’t want to work out, nothing.
I tried using medications to fix my problems and other chiropractors. The results failed. I took over 5 migraine pills in one day if I had to and Motrin for my back.
I didn’t want to do anything but play videogames lying down in my room alone. I didn’t want to work out, so I gained weight. When I did want to do something about my weight, I went to Fitness Together and they referred me to Dr. Ben. Since I have been coming to Complete Care Chiropractic, I have better posture, better balance, and no more headaches or backaches. It’s improved my life greatly.
Dr. Ben is great. He is the best chiropractor ever. Kara is the best too. They both are really nice and help me with my problems. If you are iffy on the whole chiropractor adjusting your back, don’t be. You will have results and you will be part of the chiropractic family.

Allergy Season??? Think again….
Friday, April 2nd, 2010Unlike medical care that simply aims to mask the symptoms(runny nose, watery eyes) of allergies, Chiropractic care works by detecting and correcting the underlying causes. As Jay stated, the immune system has the capacity to fight off all foreign invaders(bacteria, virus etc.) that could potentially make us sick.
The thing is, we are all living under the same umbrella, yet not all of us have allergies or get sick. We need to ask ourselves, “Why do I have allergies or get sick even though my family lives in the same home, breathes the same air and eats the same food as I do?” Simply, if pollen in the air were responsible for allergies, we would all have the same allergies. Pollen is no more the cause of allergies than gray hair is the cause of old age.
Allergies are a symptom of an underlying weakened immune system. Chiropractic care works by removing interference to the nervous system thereby improving function of the immune system and the entire body. The nervous system controls all systems of the body.
When is the last time you had your spine and nervous system checked?
Recipe: Almond Cookies
Saturday, March 27th, 2010These are a great way to satisfy the sweet tooth without the harmful effects of sugar and flour.
Servings: Makes 10-12 cookies.
Ingredients:
2 Cups Finely Ground Almond Powder (Put 2 cups almonds in food processor and process until the consistency of flour)
1/4 Cup Xylitol
1 Tablespoon Almond Extract
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs (Free Range, Organic)
1 Pinch of Sea Salt
1.5-2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First, process almonds in food processor until they look like flour. Next, add remaining ingredients to processor and mix until all ingredients are combined well. Scoop out a portion of cookie batter, shape it into a ball, and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-20 minutes, depending on size of cookies, until they start to brown slightly. Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the pan, otherwise they fall apart.
