Jack Winner:

Today, I'd like to introduce you to this new concept. When we talk about health and healthcare, let me politely explain to you, as many people don't understand what natural health care is really all about. Basically, understanding natural healthcare means allowing the body to heal itself in a natural way without using drugs or surgery. But I want to walk you through a day in the office with a new patient and help you understand what that would feel like.

First of all, here's how this happens. A patient comes in. So the first thing I ask them is, "What is the most prominent condition you want to address? It could be back pain, migraine headache, shoulder pain, or knee pain." So we start with that process first. However, as we begin to talk, this almost invariably happens – there's more going on beneath the surface. Often, a prominent condition covers up underlying issues like depression, sleep problems, fatigue, and more. Many people aren't even aware these issues are occurring; they simply live with them.

People often tell me they've tried drugs or surgery procedures, and while they might provide temporary relief, the problem keeps coming back. Or they've been taking medications for weeks, months, or even years, but the problems persist. They might be concerned about the side effects of drugs or dislike taking them, but they don't know what else to do since the problem persists.

When I ask them why they came to my office or to a Doctor of Chiropractic or a kinesiologist, their common response is that they want to try a natural approach, as they've seen success stories from my videos. They're looking for solutions without relying on drugs and medication.

I often inquire whether they've been to a chiropractor before. About a third of them say yes, with varying results. When I ask about their experience with a kinesiologist, most people say no and have no idea what it's about. That's when I start explaining what kinesiology is – essentially, it's chiropractic on steroids. We take the basic chiropractic perspective and enhance it by incorporating techniques like acupressure, cold laser, muscle strengthening, and muscle testing. This multi-disciplinary approach takes chiropractic to the next level.

Our fundamental belief is that your body is a self-healer. Our role isn't to heal you; it's to help your body do what it's already designed to do. We find restrictions or limitations, and when we remove them, your body can begin to heal. Your body is constantly working to solve its own problems, and our job is to assist it in this process.

This is where kinesiology comes in. Kinesiology, the study of movement, takes various techniques like acupressure, cold laser, emotional release, nutrition, and structural analysis and combines them to support your body's healing. We aim to identify and correct what's blocking your body's natural healing abilities.

Our first task is to find where you have pinched nerves. We determine this by examining your body's symmetry. For instance, are your shoulders even, or is one higher than the other? Is your head straight or tilted? Are your hips level, or is one foot turned out? These asymmetries indicate where we need to focus. Your body adapts to these imbalances, and we want to address the underlying issue.

Our first step in kinesiology is to relieve pressure from the nerve supply. However, we don't want to keep adjusting you repeatedly; instead, we aim to balance the muscles supporting the affected area. We achieve this through acupressure and cold laser. By restoring muscle balance, the bones can stay in place and the pressure on the nerves is reduced.

After relieving nerve pressure, pain relief often follows. But our approach goes beyond pain relief – we examine other aspects of your life that could affect your health. We consider diet, structural habits, emotional stress, and more. We have the tools and knowledge to address these factors, offering a comprehensive approach to achieving a permanent correction.

With 37 years of experience working with patients of all conditions, we know that the body is a self-healer. If there's a reason for a problem, there's a cause we can find and correct. Your body is inherently designed to return to a state of normalcy. If you're considering making a change in your health, I encourage you to call our office at 770-536-6600 or visit us online at winterwellness.com. The consultation is free, and we're here to help. I look forward to assisting you in your journey towards better health and a healthier future. Make the call.
