    SCOLIOSIS

    Structure-Function Care is essential to help Scoliosis patients to avoid surgery, but can even help patients who already have rods in their back.  In this episode, you'll find out: —Why Dr. Prather says that you will never get Scoliosis under control unless you also look at the Endocrine System and the balance of the hormones. And the natural products that Holistic Integration uses to get the hormones balanced correctly. —The importance of the Copper-Zinc ratio for Scoliosis and how Dr. Prather saw "a huge difference" and "much quicker results" with his Scoliosis cases once his office started focusing on this ratio. —How Elizabeth suffered from Scoliosis back pain since the age of 9 and even endured the surgery, but is now pain-free after less than 2 months of care at Holistic Integration. —Why girls suffer from Scoliosis at a rate of 10 times the rate of boys, but Scoliosis is "usually more severe" if boys have it. —The different types of Scoliosis diagnosed. And why the difference between Structural Scoliosis and Functional Scoliosis should be discussed more. —Why the hormone Leptin is an important factor for girls who have Scoliosis. And how Scoliosis is starting to develop at earlier ages than in the past. —How major organs like the heart and lungs are affected by Scoliosis. —How it can be determined whether or not a back brace will help a Scoliosis patient just by seeing if their pain is "immediately" relieved when they put it on. —The gentle Chiropractic care techniques offered at Holistic Integration and how they are different from the traditional "pop and crunch" approach. And how the top vertebrae in the neck (the Atlas) and the feet are actually important considerations for Scoliosis. —The corrective exercises that are helpful for Scoliosis (and the activities and exercises that AREN'T helpful). And why men who put a wallet in their back pocket, kids who don’t use both straps on their backpacks, and women who carry heavy purses are at greater risk of back problems. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

    CUPPING THERAPY AND THE SHOULDER

    This week, we're joined by our Associate Chiropractor Dr. Dodge and Therapist Meghan Walton of the Holistic Integration Structural Team to talk about Cupping Therapy, as well as our high success rate in dealing with shoulder issues. In this episode, you'll learn: —How the weird marks on Olympic athletes that look like they were attacked by an octopus are a result from Cupping Therapy, which is also called Myofascial Decompression.  —The issues helped by Cupping Therapy, such as: pain, scar tissue, adhesions, tendinitis, muscle tension and tightness, and range-of-motion problems. —Why the marks left behind by Cupping Therapy are different from bruising and are not painful at all. —How the shoulder is different than any other joint in the body. And how the shoulder isn’t really a "ball-and-socket" joint like the hip, but a "ball-and-dish" socket that allows the unique range-of-motion offered by the shoulder. —The causes of shoulder pain, including: rotator cuff tear, labrum tear, bursitis, and tendinitis (which is the most common cause). And the diagnostics and testing involved in shoulder issues. —The JTECH computerized range-of-motion test used at Holistic Integration that provides an objective analysis of your shoulder. And how Holistic Integration doesn't "do any guesswork". —How 60-75% of partial rotator cuff tears can be healed non-surgically with conservative treatment like Chiropractic treatment and rehab. And how Holistic Integration experienced an even higher success rate with their patients. —The ProAdjuster SRT Chiropractic adjusting technology used at Holistic Integration that has various tools specifically designed for the shoulder joint. And how the Rapid Release vibration therapy "does a great job on the fascia". —Why Dr. Dodge says he "hates" frozen shoulder syndrome, but "loves" how Holistic Integration is able to help patients overcome their suffering through "a return to function, decreased pain, and some incredible range-of-motion". —How you can get a New Patient appointment at Holistic Integration for Children 18 and under for just $75 through the end of August. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

    ALZHEIMER'S, PART 4:  PREVENTION

    This week, we conclude our 4-part series on the 6th-leading cause of death in America.  We discuss how to protect the brain at all stages of life.  In this episode, we talk about: —Why Dr. Prather thinks it is an excuse that Alzheimer's is increasing because people are just living longer or it's diagnosed better, but that it is actually increasing because there is some kind of stressor that wasn't there before. —The importance of protecting Brain Health starting in the womb.  And how Iodine is the most critical part of Brain development and will determine how smart your child will be. —How breastfeeding is more beneficial for the development for the baby's brain and cuts down on brain problems later in life. —Why an annual Hair Analysis for children and adults  is important to identify Heavy Metal toxins, which damage the brain. —The link between gut health and Alzheimer's.  And the reason Dr. Prather recommends an annual stool kit for everyone (even babies) to identify the parasites and infections that can damage your Brain health. —How probiotics in the diet (such as fermented foods) and high Fiber intake are key reasons for healthy longevity in the "Blue Zone" areas of the world which have a large number of people living over the age of 100. —The health benefits of the Biblical dietary laws. —Why Sunshine is the best Vitamin D for the body, and is also estimated to provide 34 nutrients that come directly from the Sun.   And why Dr. Prather says it is "untrue" when they say Sunshine is bad for us. —The role proper sleep plays in Dementia and Alzheimer’s because our body washes the brain of the amyloid plaques while we sleep.  And how using pharmaceuticals for sleep actually interferes with this process.     —How being around grandchildren is scientifically proven to help both the health of the grandparent and the development of the child. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
