Are You Connected?

Being connected is very important in our modern world. Could you imagine how you'd feel if you left your cell phone at home? For teenagers, a cell phone is much more than a tool. For teens, cell phones are status symbols, but they also represent a connection to the tribe, a connection to their human network. For teens and adults, cell phones are lifelines. What about web connectivity? Many of us begin to experience withdrawal symptoms if we're separated from our Internet connection for more than a hour. Others check their email every few minutes, ongoingly, throughout the day, every day.

We may feel secure if we're well connected in the external electronic world, but it's even more important to be well connected in the internal physiologic world. In the external world we think in terms of networks, primarily in terms of Internet connections. In the internal world networks are the key, too - neurologic networks, of which our nerve system is comprised.1,2

The nerve system consists of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal cord, spinal nerves, and miles of peripheral nerves which connect the spinal cord and spinal nerves to every other cell in the body. In the body, the rules are simple. If a cell is not connected to the nerve system, the cell's activities become disorganized and it becomes diseased and eventually dies. In a related scenario a cell may be connected, but the nerve signals it is receiving are inaccurate or inappropriate, due to problems within the nerve system itself. The results are the same - the cell's activities become disorganized and it becomes diseased and eventually dies. If enough cells are affected, the person develops symptoms and becomes sick.

"Problems" within the nerve system often result from spinal subluxations - a loss of full mobility between one or more pairs of spinal vertebras, with associated spinal muscle tightness or spasm, spinal joint inflammation, and spinal nerve irritation. The free flow of information between the nerve system and the rest of the body becomes compromised. Both ends of the network receive inappropriate, ineffective information and the result is a "system crash" in the form of symptoms and disease.

Chiropractic health care is especially designed to restore effective connectivity and communication between your nerve system and your other body systems.3 Your chiropractor specializes in identifying the spinal subluxations at the root of the problem and using gentle, safe, effective methods of care to restore proper balance to your spine and nerve system. Optimal functioning begins to be restored and improved levels of health and well-being are the natural result.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Last summer I suffered an injury that kept me from my profession. I am a horse trainer and compete professionally as a barrel racer. Dr. Myron, began working on me immediately following the injury. He was amazing in his knowledge of whole body health that within a short time I was back to competing and because of his thorough care from suggestions of stretching, ice and other remedies I am back to the top of my game and free of pain. I felt he thought outside the box to do what was in my best interest!

    I highly recommend Dr. Myron Gudmundson."

  • "As a new mama, my body is regaining it's 'normal-ness' and Dr Myron has been essential toward getting me back feeling like myself again. He's super attentive, professional, and delivers the most thorough adjustments I've ever had in my 14 + years of receiving chiropractic care. I'd HIGHLY recommend Woodinville Chiropractic and Dr. Myron to anyone wanting chiropractic care!"
