welcome to ORIENTATION

Almost everyone comes here for the same reason

If you came to drleanne. net as an adult (I see mostly children and pregnant mamas), you… may have a problem with your health interfering with your ability to live your life to the fullest & someone told you I might be able to help.

Honestly, most people have a vague idea… that chiropractic is a way to “treat”… • a backache • a “crick” in the neck • a headache …and while those things often go away under chiropractic care, that is not the best way to use Chiropractic.

What you will learn today: 1. What’s the problem? 2. Can Chiropractic help with this problem? 3. What caused it to happen? 4. The benefits of chiropractic for people that have no symptoms.

Before we get to the problem, let’s talk about the “elephant in the room” - insurance

LIFE Most insurance companies follow Medicare guidelines. Medicare Guidelines state: " Care which seeks to prevent disease, promote health & prolong & enhance the Quality of life is considered "Not Medically Necessary care (MCM 2251. 3)"

Oops, we do NOT treat ANY conditions here, but we help remove interference within your body's communication network (the nervous system) to help it FUNCTION better. Also, insurance considers my “fees” to be unreasonable since I allow my HONOR BOX eligible clients to set their own fees using the HONOR BOX – while most people have copays in the $50 -60 range now after meeting $37 K deductibles. Fees for those not HONOR BOX eligible are generally below co-pays. We will discuss HONOR BOX eligibility rules at the end of this presentation.

Some people say, “I believe in chiropractic” and others say, “I don’t believe in it”. Chiropractic does not require your belief. Frankly, I don’t care if you believe it or not. I do care that you understand it, so let’s start with that.

Q: What controls all the functions in your body?

The nervous system exits the skull as the spinal cord traveling through the “Foramen Magnum”

Can you imagine why it important for your head to be in alignment with your spine?

Let’s stop for a second and take a look at the anatomy of the spine. These are the primary components: • Vertebra – bones that protect your spinal cord • Spinal Cord – nervous tissue extending from the brain • Discs – shock absorbing squishy cushions Spinal nerves – nervous tissue exiting the spinal cord •

Q: How many sets of spinal nerves do we have? 31 pairs

What is the problem?

Q: What if we interfere with the nerve that goes from the brain to the: Neck? Mid Back? Lower Back? To any part of the body?

What if T 6 is Misaligned? • • • 10% no symptom 20% no symptom 30% belching 40% bloating 50% nausea/ stomachache 60% heartburn 70% Bleeding 80% dizziness 90+% Cellular Death

Q: What do we call it when there is a misalignment causing interference with the nervous system? Vertebral Subluxation

Q: How Chiropractors find a Subluxation? 1. We can palpate (feel) for them. 2. We can look for them: ROM or posture 3. We can use instruments like an infrared thermal scanner. 4. We can use an adjusting protocol like Activator, SOT, Thompson, etcetera

What causes Subluxations (aka the problem)? STRESS Mental physical chemical

Can Chiroprac. TIC help with STRESS?

Many studies show that chiropractic care reduces lost time in the workplace and that persons under chiropractic care have lower overall annual healthcare costs. Here are just a few samples of those studies.

The Manga Report • Most comprehensive analysis of low-back pain to date. • Commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health • Showed chiropractic treatment is cost-effective, safe, has a high rate of patient satisfaction, and is more effective than medical treatment for low -back pain. • Recommends management of low-back pain be moved from medical doctors to chiropractors and found that injured workers with low-back pain returned to work much sooner when treated by chiropractors than by medical doctors. • Notes evidence that patients are much more satisfied with chiropractic management of low-back pain than with medical management. • Concludes: "There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low-back pain was transferred from physicians to chiropractors. Users of chiropractic care have significantly lower health care costs, especially inpatient costs, than those who use medical care only. "

The Texas Chiropractic Workers’ Compensation Report found the average claim for a worker with a low-back injury was $15, 884. If a chiropractor provided at least 90% of the care, however, the average cost declined by more than 50%, to $7, 632.

AMI Study • The original study, which focused on the years 1999 -2002, found decreases of: 43% in-hospital admissions per 1, 000; 58. 4% in hospital days per 1, 000; 43. 2% in outpatient surgeries and procedures per 1, 000; and, 51. 8% in pharmaceutical costs. • A chiropractic network where DCs performed all patient examinations, treatments, & procedures at their own discretion was constructed. Recommended follow-up visits, choice of appropriate treatment, and ancillary therapies utilized did not require approval from an MD. • It noted that: "The AMI experience seems to indicate that a nonpharmaceutical/nonsurgical orientation can reduce overall health care costs significantly and yet deliver high quality care. " • This study was updated in 2007, covering the years 2003 -2005. The results of the original study were confirmed, with demonstrated decreases of 60. 2% in in-hospital admissions, 59% in hospital days, 62% in outpatient surgeries and procedures, and 85% in pharmaceutical costs.

The Nevada Workers’ Compensation Study • Found loss of work time under chiropractic care to be less than 1/3 of the time lost under medical care. • The study also found that the average medical cost per patient was 260% higher than the average chiropractic cost.

The Stano Study • Conducted by Oakland University Economics Professor Dr. Miron Stano • Found when costs of advanced imaging and referrals to physical therapists and other providers were added, chiropractic care costs for chronic patients were 16% lower than medical care costs. • Additionally, chiropractic patients showed an advantage over medical patients in pain, disability, and satisfaction outcomes. • If the study would have included hospitalization or surgical costs, two very expensive medical treatments for low-back pain, or over-the-counter medications, would the savings from chiropractic have been even greater?

The American Journal of Medicine • In one analysis, there was no evidence that nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were any more effective than spinal manipulation, but the risk of serious complications or death was between 100 and 400 times greater with NSAIDs. • In another review, estimates of serious gastrointestinal events from NSAIDs were 1 per 1, 000 patients, whereas complications of cervical manipulations were 5 -10 per 10 million treatments. • Additional studies by noted chiropractic researcher BP Symons, the RAND Corporation and Duke University all found cervical manipulation, when performed by a qualified, licensed DC, is extremely safe and effective. In fact, the Duke study said cervical spinal manipulation "has a very low risk of serious complications, " which may be "one of its appeals over drug treatment. "

The North Carolina Study • >43, 000 workers’ comp claims from 1975 -1994 • LOWER COSTS: • • • The average total cost of an injured worker’s claim managed by a medical doctor was $22, 437. • The average total cost of an injured worker’s claim managed by a chiropractor was $663. BACK TO WORK SOONER: • Average days lost for workers under chiropractic care was 33 days. • Average days lost for workers under medical care was 166 days for workers seeing an MD. CONCLUSION: "It seems likely that substantial savings to the workers’ compensation system would be possible if chiropractic services were increased in North Carolina. "

The Utah Study compared the cost of chiropractic care to the cost of medical care for conditions with identical diagnostic codes and found that cost was almost 10 times higher for medical than for chiropractic claims. Also, the number of work days lost was nearly ten times higher for those who received medical care.

However, what if all those people in those studies had been under regular chiropractic care already and PREVENTED the back pain or strain injuries?

The chiropractic adjustment is specific for removing interference in the nervous system. Mere mobilization (movement) of the joint without a specific line of direction is not an adjustment.

Q: Why do I get adjusted once EVERY 7 -14 DAYS? This is a 1987 study by Dr. Videman which found that after just 7 -14 days of immobilization, we can see arthritis forming in a joint. This arthritis can also form after repeated short periods of loss of motion in a joint lasting several days. Once the wearing of the bone has taken place, these changes are not considered to be reversible. Also, one joint that loses motion effects the joints around it. A: To eliminate interference between the brain and the body AND to avoid arthritis.

What are the benefits of chiroprac. TIC for people with no symptoms?

• • • Increased joint motion / range of motion Decreased inflammation and helps prevent arthritic degeneration Adaptogenic effect on blood pressure & cardiovascular function Better systemic function because our nervous systems work optimally & remember what system controls them all? Nervous system Short labor & delivery (important if you plan to have a baby any time soon)

What are 6 things you can do to keep yourself and your family healthy?

1. Eat well- eliminate ingredients that are not food from your diet. How many ingredients do the French fries at Mc. Donald’s have? 2. Hydrate Well – ½ body weight in ounces daily 3. Move well- At the end of this presentation, there will be exercises that will help you get to where you can go 2 weeks between adjustments but until you are holding your adjustments and doing the exercises daily, I would recommend that you get adjusted weekly as I do 4. Think well- meditate, prayer, keep a gratitude journal. 5. Stay well Adjusted- get your family’s spine checked once a week. 6. Sleep well – target 7 -8 hours each night. If you have sleep issues, ask for your noggin to be checked

People often don’t have babies checked because they “look so healthy and happy”. Why, because you are judging by how they look or seem to feel. But judging by how you feel is like jumping out of the Empire State Building. As you pass each window you look in and say, “OK, so far…” https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=vjgx. Kcjnim. Y Stress starts at birth - Birth Trauma….

Larry Webster, D. C. - Chiropractic care must begin at birth average pull during the birth process today is between 90 and 110 lbs (120 lbs. was shown to cause decapitation by Duncan, M. D. ). The spine can be stretched ½” before injury - the spinal cord can be stretched 2 ¼” before injury. “It is still true that the most dangerous journey some people will ever undertake is that from the womb to the outside world. ” WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ? ? All children should be examined for Subluxations and begin chiropractic care immediately because. . . A life of Subluxation prevention is fundamental to a healthy, wholesome, vital, enthusiastic life!

Dr. Gottfried Guttman, a German physician, conducted a study of over 1, 000 newborns shortly after birth. He discovered that over 80% of the infants had suffered trauma to cervical spine, which resulted inpp. 5 -10. Guttman, G. their (1987). "Blocked Atlantal Nerve Syndrome in Babies and Infants.

My chiropractic story: I majored in biomedical electrical engineering. I had planned to go to medical school and during my senior year decided I didn’t want to put up treatment observed of interns & residents. While working at Raytheon in Indianapolis, I thought I was having a heart attack. I have a MVP & murmur so when my left arm started getting numb & tingling, I thought it was my heart. After running a lot of expensive diagnostic tests, my cardiologists told me it was not my heart but my neck and I needed to see a neurologist. Ultimately, I was told I needed neck surgery. I said NO because at that time, I did not know anyone who’d only had one spinal surgery and it be successful. A co-worker harassed me into seeing her quack – er – chiropractor. It changed my life. In addition to stopping the numbness and tingling, I was able to stop taking 2 daily allergy Rx drugs. I’m allergic to dogs, dust and mold. We have 4 dogs. If I skip adjustments for too long, my allergies flare back up.

Daily Exercises (doing these daily helps you hold adjustments Wobbles - this is not my video, but thislonger) is an exercise that I recommend – 50 sets front to back, 50 sets rotation & 50 sets lateral flexion going side to side – here is an example, this is NOT an affiliate link C-sp Traction – not my vldeo – you can buy one of these on e. Bay. Do 50 sets, 5 second holds Piriformis Stretches – 3 sets, 1 minute hold Planks – 3 sets, 1 minute hold Bridge Pose – 3 sets, 1 minute hold Doorway Stretches – 1 set of 10 once an hour (4 sets min) Overheads – 1 set of 10 once an hour (4 sets min) Post C-sp translation – I like to do these in the car when stopped due to the headrest resistance. 10 second holds 2 -4 times daily.
