Health, Wellness, and Longevity. Adding Life to Your Years and Years to Your Life!

Hello everyone, I started this blog in effort to extend my reach beyond those that I can help in my clinic alone. As a chiropractic physician I have a deep love for health and people. I am excited everyday to go to my office and help people. I have literally seen thousands of patients have their lives changed as a result of chiropractic care and lifestyle changes.

Each day I strive to bring the latest and greatest information on health to my patients. I have even started a radio show to help with this effort as well. You can listen in on Southern Oregon's talk radio 880AM Tuesdays @11:00AM. Or watch for post on my youtube channel that I am just starting (http://www.youtube.com/user/MarkHMcFarlandDC?feature=mhsn)

My goal for this blog is to educate you on how to live a better quality of life, whether that be through awareness, tips and advice, or even support. As I have said, I have a deep love for helping people. Please follow my blog and start making changes in your life and health today.

"A universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions thus maintaining it in existence."

Chiropractic philosophy: there is a power that is rooted deep within the body; this power has been instilled with the knowledge to make our bodies function as they have been designed. Just as a fetus forms from cells into a heart, brain, fingers, and so on... our bodies will seek to be healthy on their own. We ourselves do not choose to have aches and pains but that power or intelligence that exists within us will create pain to help our conscious mind realize that a change is necessary in order to heal. Chiropractic helps open the nervous system so that all parts of the body can communicate with one another as they were designed to by our creator.

As a physician of chiropractic and christian, I have a belief in a higher power; I know there are those of you that may not believe in a creator but hopefully you can acknowledge the power within the human body. My belief in the "universal intelligence" within each of us sets me apart from normal practitioners in many ways, all of which I am proud of. When a patient reports to my office having chronic debilitating headaches I immediately look for the cause of the "symptom." Headaches along with all the other aches and pains of the body are signs or indications of other problems. The human body represents the problem in the form of pain; as a chiropractic physician I do not treat the pain but rather the cause. That same patient that reports having chronic headaches will most likely suffer from cervical segmental disfunction or what chiropractors call a subluxation. Also, the causation for chronic headaches can be toxicity or chemical imbalance, dietary habits, and even sleep. In order for me to properly diagnose and treat the patient I have to look at all the determining factors that may play into the symptoms they are experiencing. I do not seek to cover up the symptoms; I seek to address the cause!

If the same patient that came into my office with the chief complaint of chronic headaches went to a general practitioner or immediate care center, the odds are that little care would be given for the cause and pain pills or anti-inflammatory medication would be given to dull or relieve the symptoms. I have seen this hundreds and hundreds of times!

My goal is to help patients choose chiropractic care before drugs and surgery; but also to educate them to listen to the signs and signals their bodies present. The body is a self healing organism, within it is the ability to become healthy; chiropractic's philosophy is to aid the body in repairing itself by opening the nervous system pathways that flow to all parts of the body. Add life to your years and years to your life through chiropractic care.

If you have been thinking that chiropractic care may help with your aches and pains... your right; but it is much more than that! It will help with nervous system function, healing, energy, stress, and longevity. Now is the time to act, call McFarland Chiropractic and speak with my staff to schedule an appointment today. 541-772-5000

Helping your body with supplementation

Supplementation can be a scary thing to a lot of people. Few know what they need or even where to start when it comes to adding supplementation into their diet. As a health care profession and doctor I am constantly looking for products that can make a difference in the lives of my patients and myself.

I was introduced to ASEA by a friend and fellow chiropractor, Dr. Karl Smith DC, I have since began using this product in my daily supplement regime and have referred many patients to it. Please watch the video- the url is listed below http://asea.mlmbydesignhosting.com/videoV2/ASEA-EssentialToHealth-EN.m4v . This amazing product helps the body repair and regenerate cellular tissue. The video will tell you more about the process and product.

Contact me at 541-772-5000, ask my team about how you can get ASEA to improve your health today!

Some useful links!

Communication

The power of communication is on my mind today; many scholars have said that humans ability to communicate has gave them the evolutionary advantage over other species. The power to relay ideas, through the any medium of communication, has lead to many wonderful human inventions and triumphs that built the society that we live in today. With the many wonderful things communication as a broad topic covers there is a specific type that I want to discuss, specifically the communication between your central nervous system and all parts of your body.

As a chiropractic physician I see many people often believe that chiropractic is only for the aches of the body, lumbago, headaches, sciatica... etc, but more so than helping those parts of the body heal quicker in correct alignment (which in itself is miraculous) chiropractors treat the nervous system. When the nervous system communicates at an optimal level the body starts to function better. Imagine for a moment your cell phone, in an area of poor coverage it can be hard to make of receive calls, now imagine that cell phone represents your nervous system and your brain is supposed to tell your kidneys to function a certain way. If the signal that the brain sends to kidneys is impinged or interrupted by a subluxation it can come through unclear or even not at all! I help the brain communicate with all parts of the body via opening the nervous system pathways; so when people say chiropractors are only nerve doctors I think to myself; "Oh, so I only help the body function by optimizing the very power that is linked to every action/reaction that occurs in the body, from the healing process, to energy levels, organs, glands, and body systems...I am OK with being just a nerve doctor than!"

I also have recently become exposed to ASEA a supplement that was originally developed in the pharmaceutical realm of health that was designed to be a conductor that optimizes that signal or current that travels through the nervous system. I am beginning to see many wonderful things with this product and I will keep each of you posted on the progress that I see in patients.

Discover Chiropractic Care

More and more people are discovering the benefits and importance of having Chiropractic care as an important part of their life. Many of my patients that started to maintain their health through Chiropractic care are taking charge and control of other aspects of their health. I have patients begin the battle of stopping smoking, beginning exercise programs, starting diets, or simply making a change for the better in their health. 


As a doctor I try and educate my patients of the importance of living healthy. Not just doing a new fad work out or the lose ten pounds in ten days idea of dieting but actual lifestyle changes. I have a deep passion for helping people, (often my staff accuses me of talking to much when I have patients in the waiting room) but when I see the opportunity to help someone live a better quality of life by opening their eyes to new information or giving them the encouragement and accountability that allows them to act I will capitalize on that opportunity.


One area that I strive to help people understand is a philosophy of Chiropractic care as stated by R.W. Stephensen DC. PhC.    A universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions thus maintaining it in existenceThis concept may be hard for many to understand but to me its a beautiful. The challenge with our health is this, people today believe in symptom treatment more than treating the cause. For example, most Americans when challenged with a headache will reach for a OTC drug that treats the pain associated with the headache; the problem is this the headache is still there, or rather the cause of the headache is still present within the body. If you ignore the signs that your body gives you you will ultimately lead your body towards sickness and 'dis' ease.


So what does this mean you might ask? Regardless of your belief in a higher power or god, people need to acknowledged the signs and signals your body gives you; my personal belief through religion and profession as a chiropractor is that God designed our bodies with an amazing ability and aptitude towards health. My goal is to help people better understand the power and benefit of listening to the signals their body is giving them and to help optimize that communication between mind and body. 


Attached to this post is a link to Life West Chiropractic College. Please study out the benefits of chiropractic. As a doctor of Chiropractic I have such a deep passion for health, I have witnessed literally thousands of patients change their lives for the better.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mark H. McFarland
