Welcome to the New Dr. G's Blog page

I have considered doing this for a while. It appears that NOW is the right time. 


I wish for this blog to be able to help people better understand the meaning of chiropractic, how to better understand their own health, how to recognize when your body is speaking to you, why prevention of problems is so important, ...and many more things.  

What is the nervous system? The Central nervous system is the brain and the spinal cord. It is the "hardware" of your body. It is what makes the body run. It sends out and receives information from the body 24 hours a day. It sends chemical and electrical impulses down the spinal cord and out into every single part of the body. If the body is sending out a decreased amount of nerve impulses to its organs, muscles, cells, etc...,the body will slowly begin to degenerate and those important organs and muscles will not produce the way they should. 


As the nerves exit the spinal cord, the Central Nervous System becomes the Peripheral Nervous System. This is everything outside of the spine. These are the nerves that are carrying the important information that the brain is sending out, so that the body operates "at it's fullest potential". 


I have been asked on many different occasions how the "spine" has anything to do with the heart, lungs, liver, kidney's, urinary system, muscles , sinus issues, sexual dysfunction, vision difficulties, or even gait problems. This is where they are missing the point. They are thinking A+B = C.  Try opening your mind and think C=A (Z).   Here, let me further explain.


Let's take the stomach for example. (Believe it or not, I had an Indonesian Medical Doctor ask me this).... "How does the stomach have anything to do with the spine?" Once you ingest the food, it goes into the stomach. What makes the stomach churn that bolus in the stomach and then properly digest the food? Well, the doctor quickly retorted,..."acid from the intestines". They are correct. But,... what determined the RIGHT amount of fluids and acids so that the stomach would function properly? The doctor said, " It does it automatically." Correct again. But, if the nervous system isn't functioning properly, and their is a lack of nervous impulse or a decreased amount of nervous impulse to those intestines, will the intestines disperse the right amount of acids? will the stomach, if it doesn't have the proper nervous impulse, receive those acids and fluids properly? ....at that point, the doctor smiled,... "I guess not". So, since medical doctors aren't taught this concept of thinking, many times they skip this trend of thought and simply think that chiropractic is merely to temporarily relieve back and neck pain. THAT IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT!


Many times to make things easier to understand, I will use different analogies in clinic to allow the patient to better understand chiropractic, how the body functions, and the role of the chiropractor.  

So, as I start to build up the blogs, I will send my new patients, (as well as existing patients) to this site, so they can review articles, video's, papers, explanations on the importance of chiropractic and  it's true relevance. 


Again,.....welcome to Dr. G's blog. Hope you visit often.
