Untwisting your Twisted Frame
Solving Aches, Pains and Dysfunctions that you've simply "Grown used to" or "Learned to Live With"
Then you're at the right place.
I personally have dealt with several health challenges over the years, but primarily back pain was my biggest threat. I even gave up working as an electrical and computer engineer to become a chiropractor to solve my back pain which no one was able to solve. In fact my problems got worse as time went on, not better, even with all the treatments I was getting. In addition I wasn't delivering the results I wanted to my patients. In my opinion I wasn't "fixing" them. Let me be clear that not everyone is entirely fixable, but here's my definition of true health:
Stand up with ideal posture and not have to use muscles to hold yourself up. In other words - You don't slump when you totally relax your body.
All your muscles have normal tone and zero knots.
You don't have to stretch or exercise to be pain free.
The color of your skin looks like you have a constant tan even if you don't tan. This refers to your heart pumping plenty of blood to your entire body which requires normal chest depth and function.
Taking deep breaths is effortless.
You look symetrical.
Your body doesn't degenerate like everyone that you know. You still age, but you're not getting knee or hip replacements. You avoid arthitic changes (arthritis). You age yet retain function of your body.
All these things contribute to health, but there's so much more that's possible. You see my past treatments were helping people with pain and increasing their flexibility but it was limited. The type of work I do now is so much more encompassing. Does it fix everything? No. Are other health care providers needed for certain conditions? Absolutely.
But your bodies structure and alignment are so grossly overlooked it's sad.
And that's where I come in. As you look through this website you'll see what good structure is. How it looks and how to obtain it. You'll be able to look at yourself and photos of yourself (side and back views) and see problems in your structure. You'll understand what goes wrong with bodies that lead to structural problems. You'll see with videos and animations how structure affects your stomach and intestines, your heart and lung function, blood flow to your entire body, muscle function and dysfunction, pain and pain relief, arthritic changes and degeneration, nerve issues and so much more.
The pictures above are absolutely real. The instructions to these people were to breath in, breath out and let your body relax. I was stunned when the guy in the white shirt relaxed. Both of his photos are after he relaxed. The first photo was prior to any treatment, and the second was after his third treatment. I hesitated using these images because people would think I'm trying to fake them out, but you can watch all the videos under Posture & Breathing --> Posture Changes 6. The lady in black is from one visit. Look at how her chest is so collapsed in the first image and how much more opened her chest is afterwards. The man with no shirt on shows what happened after around twenty five visits. His life changed remarkably. Watch his videos under Posture & Breathing --> Breathing Changes 1. The lady with the long hair showed great change after two visits. Watch her videos under Posture & Breathing --> Posture Changes 1. The video tells you more then the snap shots...Look at how her belly even changed over a few days time with these two visits. She didn't loose weight but her change in posture makes a tremendous change in appearance.
This website is a work in progress. I'm taking a lot of time and effort to make this website encompass a bucket full of topics that few people have any reality on. To other doctors that are interested in this type of work I strongly encourage you to learn Advanced BioStructural Correction. It has changed my life from the "Unfixable" human being I was to a person that has regained my health. It handles the tough cases, like mine, that most doctors throw up their hands to and say, "Well, I'm providing some relief but this person can't be fixed in any way." Take the time and learn how bodies function and you'll excel in this new age of health care where results oriented care is more important than just "who can do it the cheapest" especially to patients that are happy to pay out of pocket for results.
Bone out of Place - This is a video that offers you simple insight into what goes wrong in the human frame. We have bones that can go out of place in directions our bodies cannot self correct because there isn't a muscle or group of muscles that can pull the bone back into place. This is the fundamental problem.
Winding/Unwinding - This video shows the result of many bones out of place that the body cannot self correct. You'll see how we get twisted and distorted in our entire skeleton.
These videos are just a sample of what can be done. I separate them into Breathing and Postural Videos but you can't improve one without improving the other. It is common to hear patients say they stand up much easier and don't slump as much. Plus they frequently comment how much better they breath.
The breathing and posture pages don't talk a lot about pain but when you improve a persons mechanics as you see in all these videos their pain areas improve also if not simply disappear. It all depends on the twists you have in your frame and how your muscles have to support your twisted frame.
Of course we always ask for permission before posting video and if you don't want video taken at all even for your own education and to show improvement that's no problem.
I look forward to talking with you and then showing you how this all works.
