Chiropractic - Westchester NY

Chiropractic care, more recently dates its origins back to 1895, developed by D.D. Palmer, a self- taught healer in Davenport, Iowa.

The actual name: Chiropractic comes from the Greek word meaning: ‘Done by hand.’ (Referenced: ACA website www.acatoday.org)

Yet, though recently ‘re-discovered’ in 1895, Chiropractic pre-dates most all other types of medicine found in ancient manuscripts from China to Greece from 2700 BC and 1500 BC that clearly mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease lower back pain (we call that today: adjustments and, mobilizations)!

Hippocrates, the famed Greek physician, lived from 460 BC to 377 BC, and his accomplishments are so profound, that he has often been called: The Father of Medicine!

He was a physician trained at the dream Temple of KOS, and may have been a pupil of Herodicus. He typically rejected the superstition and ancient magic of his day, and laid the groundwork for the foundations of medicine to be seen as a solid branch of science.
Hippocrates is often quoted to have said:

‘Look to the spine, as to the cause of all Diseases!’

That is simply an amazing statement, especially coming from such a renowned source as: The father of Medicine!

In fact, the Spanish flu (influenza epidemic) of 1917-1918 reportedly killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide! In the book: The official history of Chiropractic in Texas, by Walter R. Rhodes, DC he details the following:

• National figures show that 1,142 Chiropractors treated 46,394 patients for influenza during 1918 with a loss of 54 patients-one out of every 886!

• Reports show that in New York City, during the influenza epidemic of 1918, out of every 10,000 cases medically treated, 950 died; and in every 10,000 pneumonia cases medically treated 6,400 died. These figures are exact, for in that city these are reportable cases.

In the same epidemic under drugless methods, only 25 patients died of influenza out of every 10,000 cases; and only 100 patients died of pneumonia out of every 10,000 cases. The comparison is striking as seen in the following table.

Yes, Chiropractic, an ancient healing art, not only help your  bones, muscles and nerves feel better and function more effectively, but it has a wonderful modulating effect on your immune system as well!

In his book, the autonomic nervous system, 4th edition, Albert Kuntz states:’ The subluxation has detrimental effects upon the functioning of visceral structures as well as upon muscles and other somatic tissues.

So, basically, we are saying that: any of the bones in your spine, being jammed, dis-located and moved out of it’s normal position in the spine, will press and compress the spinal nerves and blood vessels, not only causing localized pain and altered function, but will affect negatively all your organs (heart-lungs-brain-liver..)
and tissues as well!

Please remember what Hippocrates (460-377 BC) called the ‘Father of Medicine’ stated:

Look to the spine as to the cause for all disease.

So, if you, your parents, children, loved ones or friends should ever get ill with anything whatsoever, yes, go see your Medical Doctor of course, but make very sure that you: See your Chiropractor also and get your entire spine adjusted back to balance immediately, so that your body may ‘heal itself’ much more effectively, as well.

'So Get off the couch'	'and get adjusted now-your bones will love it so will you'

Now please remember, the spine is the key, but, you do have a total of 206 bones in your entire body! Can Chiropractic:

Help fix my jammed fingers?

Help fix my tennis elbow?

Help fix my rotator cuff pain?

Help fix my achy knees?

Help fix my twisted ankle?

YES, ABSOLUTELY YES

At Healthworld, Dr. Young has post-graduate training in sports medicine, and has successfully and effectively treated tens of thousands of fingers, toes, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips and wrists as well!

As my twin brother, the other Dr. Young (he can be reached in Dallas, Texas at 972-414-8703) has said to his patients:

‘It’s a one stop body shop”.

Just bring it all in-we will help you.

I know, you may have heard that some people have had problematic experiences with Chiropractors.

I understand, but to be fair, every medical profession- Cardiologists, Neurologists. Orthopedic Surgeons, Gastroenterologists and other M.D’s have all had some truly less than desirable experiences.

But, at Healthworld, in Hartsdale NY, since 1983, we have striven to be extra careful, extra gentle and extra cautious when care is rendered.

Remember the good old saying, often ascribed to Hippocrates (460-377 BC) ‘The Father of Medicine’ in the writings epidemics:

‘To do good or to do no harm”

Is often rendered: "First do no harm"
Or sometimes said: "You may do less good, but do no harm."

At Healthworld, this is a respected theme in our work.

Now, all of us are typically left handed or right handed dominant people- we typically sleep in one position more than all others; we also typically sit and relax in a usual position to the exclusion of all others too. So what does this do?

It twists and distorts the muscles, becoming torqued and shortened- they in turn pull on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones thereby pulling them out of their normal positional alignment!

Then your body feels: wrong-off-something amiss-just not right!
Why? Because:

Structure Determines Function

Before you begin to really alter your body’s precision balanced control mechanisms:
