Another one bites the dust. So now ALL opiates are no longer recommended, NSAIDs like ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxyn (Aleve), and aceptomenophen (Tylenol) are risky, I say we go back to God's pharmacy with Omega 3's (fish or krill oils), Curcumin, and Boswellia as the most researched without any know side effects other then good side effects.

Tramadol, a popular opioid often seen as a “safer” painkiller, may not live up to its reputation. A large analysis of clinical trials found that while it does reduce chronic pain, the relief is modest—so small that many patients likely wouldn’t notice much real-world benefit. At the same tim...

Jesus died at 33. The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

And it keeps going.

Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.

God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.

You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning.

Many of my patients have been prescribed these medications for pain but the risks seem to be worse than the benefit. Please if you or a parent have been prescribed these meds for nerve pain relief please consider talking to your medical doctor about this.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, particularly chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. It involves the application of acoustic waves (shockwaves) to the affected area, which promotes healing, reduces pain, and stimulates tissue regeneration.

How it works:
• Shockwaves are high-energy sound waves that are directed toward the injury site.
• These waves pe*****te the skin and reach deeper tissues, stimulating circulation and promoting the healing process.
• It also can help break down scar tissue, improve collagen production, and increase blood flow to the injured area.

Common uses:
• Tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
• Chronic muscle pain
• Bone fractures that are slow to heal (non-union fractures)

Benefits:
• Non-invasive (no surgery required)
• Can provide significant pain relief
• Promotes healing and tissue regeneration
• Reduces the need for medications or surgery

When chiropractic care is used in conjunction with massage therapy, both treatments work together to create a harmonious effect, resulting in a much faster recovery time for the patient. When the body becomes more relaxed through massage, it allows the doctor of chiropractic to smoothly realign various parts of it.

Chiropractic massage has been proven to assist in mending of a large number of conditions including:

Back pain
Postoperative care
Sleep disorders
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Disc issues
Pinched nerves
Joint pain
Headaches

Chiropractic care is an excellent method for improving overall health and musculoskeletal efficiency, while massage has a number of beneficial effects on the body and the mind. Chiropractic massage additionally benefits patients with muscle spasms, as well as soft tissue injuries.
