Something to think about...

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure." —Jim Rohn










What's YOUR discipline when it comes to taking care of your health?

Active ChiroCare E-Zine - August 25, 2010

Active ChiroCare E-Zine




Goals.  Everybody has them.  Some people have a goal to make more money.  For some, it's spending more time with family and less time at the office.  For others, it's to be healthy.
But how do you get from, "This is what I want" to actually achieving your goal?
There's a well-known acronym that many prominent motivational and self-development speakers use when it comes to goal-setting:  S.M.A.R.T.
  • S = Specific
  • M = Measurable
  • A = Attainable
  • R = Realistic
  • T = Timely
For example, you can't just say, "I want to be healthy."   That's not specific enough.  
It should be something like, "I'm going to lose 10 pounds by January 1st, 2011."  It's specific, you can measure whether you've actually lost 10 pounds or not, 10 pounds is definitely attainable and realistic, and you have a specific date by which your goal must be completed by.
At Active ChiroCare, we also set S.M.A.R.T. goals for people who want to feel better and improve their posture.
Next week, I'll explain in depth how that actually happens.
If you have questions about how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself, then just email me at DrLeif@ActiveChiroCare.com , and I'd be glad to help you!

This week's patient testimony comes from Veronica.  Veronica came to Active ChiroCare because of daily headaches, which drained her of energy at the end of the day.  After looking at x-ray films of her neck, she could see that her posture wasn't where it needed to be.  
After getting regular chiropractic adjustments to her entire spine, doing postural exercises on the Power Plate, and doing muscle stretching to her neck, she now only gets the occasional headache, instead of the daily ones she had for years!

Who do YOU know that would benefit from chiropractic care?

Gravity is constant. How it impacts your body matters. The gravitational force acting on
your body is destructive when your frame isn’t right. If your head, torso, pelvis and feet
aren’t balanced; gravity is unrelentingly wearing out your frame… prematurely. A damaged
frame limits everything you do; you never reach your potential. There is hope. When an
accurate blueprint of your body is created, and compared to normal, structural weakness
and vulnerability to gravity can be determined. More importantly, a specific solution to
improve or normalize abnormal posture under the relentless force of gravity can be effectively
implemented…before it’s too late.
The BS4L™ System attacks abnormal posture and function with a vengeance: from every
angle, and from inside out simultaneously.
With the right blueprint, your body is literally rebuilt, millions of muscle cells and nerve
circuits at once.
Every aspect of strength and function is addressed. How you resist gravity, how your body
reacts to it, the force your bones exert to resist this universal force, and of course, how your
joints dynamically respond to every move you want to make.
BS4L™ System will make you stronger, straighter, faster, and healthier, in less than 30 minutes
per week. You can always do more, but you must never do less…
The ultimate in structural stability, and dynamic core strength… BS4L™ System is for every
body under gravity.

Active ChiroCare E-Zine - August 18, 2010








Active ChiroCare E-Zine

Welcome to the second addition of the Active ChiroCare E-Zine!  

School, fall sports, and band camp are upon us!  Want to make sure that your child or grandchild is performing as well as they can on the playing field (either as an athlete, cheerleader, or marching band member)?  Then consider this:
Have their posture evaluated.  By having your spine analyzed, you can make sure that it's as structurally stable and your body frame is as strong as possible.  Headaches, neck pain, and back pain can all be helped by improving posture.  In addition, there are many studies that conclude that having proper posture, along with chiropractic care, can actually INCREASE your athletic performance!
 There are two ways to have your posture analyzed:  visually and by taking x-rays From now  through September 13th, if you mention this E-Zine, your child or grandchild can have a FREE spinal exam and any necessary x-ray films taken to make sure their spinal posture is giving them optimum function and the highest potential for athletic performance!

This last week, I had the opportunity to help two different teenage girls who have scoliosis.  For those of you who don't know what scoliosis is, it's an abnormal curvature of the spine, and it affects about 2-3 million people each year.  Girls are also 7 times more likely to develop scoliosis than boys!
.  
But the reason I was excited to have the opportunity to help them was because of something called theSpineCor brace.  It's a revolutionary new brace for scoliosis that lets kids and adults move around more freely, and all the while the brace is helping reduce the amount of scoliosis!  It's also easily hidden underneath clothes, so that teenagers (particularly teenage girls) are less self-conscious in public.  



What looks better to you: the old hard, inflexible and rigid brace, or the more flexible and comfortable SpineCor brace?


       



With school health check-ups around the corner, please don't hesitate to tell your friends and family members about the benefits of the SpineCor brace and how more and more families are choosing this fabulous option!

As the 1st SpineCor Certified Doctor in Nebraska, I've had much experience in scoliosis rehabilitation, and I would love to help these families!  For more info, you can visit my SpineCor website atwww.ActiveScoliosisCare.com.  




BStrong4Life News

Osteoporosis
 The Surgeon General states that increases in bone mineral density, to prevent or reverse the effects of osteoporosis, are stimulated by maximum loading on the musculoskeletal system. Regular, proper use of the BS4L™ System enables the user to safely achieve such maximum loading, and therefore helps combat the effects of osteoporosis.
How BioDensity Works
The BStrong4Life system involves four simple yet comprehensive isometric exercises: the chest press, leg press, core pull-up and vertical lift. A person performs each exercise on the equipment, as hard as they can, for 5 seconds. The equipment’s display panel informs them of the force they have produced. All four exercises take less than one minute to complete and are performed once a week.

When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself.

Just wanted to share with you another patient testimonial of someone whose life has COMPLETELY been 
transformed in the last couple months!  This is Kebbie, and here's her story:
 -------------------------
"I came to Dr. Leif because I had low back pain that radiated down my R leg.  I had really intense low back pain if I
 sat down for more than 20 minutes, as well has having pain at night when I tried to sleep.  I was taking about 
50mg of Ultram (a pain medication pill) just to get through my day.  But, more often, I was taking 2 pain 
pills a day.

"I also couldn't do regular household chores like doing laundry or vacuuming because of the pain.  My husband 
and I really like to go on walks, and I couldn't walk more than a 1/2 mile without having to stop because of the 
back pain.

"A couple years ago, I'd seen another chiropractor before, and I had my spine adjusted, as well as I was given 
some back strengthening exercises.  Honestly, though, it didn't really do anything for my pain.  I really didn't think 
that chiropractic could really help my condition.

"I found out about Dr. Leif through my husband, and I'm sure glad I decided to give chiropractic another try!  Dr. 
Leif showed me my x-ray films and explained to me how I was having the low back pain most likely because of the
 way my low back was not where it should be structurally.  It all made sense.  Dr. Leif developed a blueprint for 
recovery specifically for me that included core exercises that I do on the Power Plate that help strengthen by back.  I'm also more aware of my hip alignment and my posture throughout the day.

"BStrong4Life has also really helped my overall strength and endurance, and I do it once a week.  I can no also 
go walking with my husband on the 2 mile course, instead of the 1/2 mile course.  But what I'm most excited 
about is that since July 1st, I have not taken ONE PAIN PILL!  I'm now a firm believer in chiropractic, and I would recommend Dr. Leif to anybody I know!"



BStrong4Life News

Traditional exercise vs. State of the Art Exercise
Until now, power lifting (high intensity exercise or heavy weight lifting) has been one of the few exercises that places a demand on muscle tissue that is high enough to stimulate bone growth.  The problem with power lifting is that it comes with a high risk of injury.  Now BStrong4Life provides the same benefits without the risk. 
The Results are Amazing!
Most dramatic, however, are the results.  The system measures and tracks each workout and produces a complete printed report after each session.  Indeed, studies measured four years of testing on clients performing more than 100,000 sets of exercises.  The average client age was 52.  After the first year, clients saw, on average, a 73% measurable gain in muscle strength.  By the second year, the gain had jumped to 138%.  By the fourth year, clients saw a 295% improvement in muscle strength – an astonishing achievement that is difficult for traditional workouts to match.
How BioDensity Works
The BStrong4Life system involves four simple yet comprehensive isometric exercises: the chest press, leg press, core pull-up and vertical lift. A person performs each exercise on the equipment, as hard as they can, for 5 seconds. The equipment’s display panel informs them of the force they have produced. All four exercises take less than one minute to complete and are performed once a week.
