Executive Express Chiropractic is Green from the ground up

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

We recently opened our new state of the art clinic...Executive Express Chiropractic at the Embarcadero Center in downtown San Francisco.

After about a month, we are as busy as many San Francisco chiropractic clinics that  have been around for years. We wanted to create a place where SF Financial District office workers and executives could go...any time they want...No Appointments...No Waiting...No Hassles.

Well...so far so good. Sure, we have to iron out some kinks. It's been very challenging converting over to a completely paperless note taking and patient management system...but we wanted to reduce our carbon footprint.This is also the reason we spent the extra 20% to make sure every material we used to construct Executive Express Chiropractic was Eco-friendly.

Chiropractic by it's very nature is "Green"...after all, the word chiropractic was derived from the Greek roots meaning "done by hand".  

So...we don't put things into the body...we don't cut or remove things from the body...we use our hands to remove nerve interference that results from vertebral subluxations.

Chiropractic is the worlds largest, drugless healing profession. This could not have happened with smoke and mirrors. This happened because chiropractic delivers results...over and over again.

We just take it to a new level at Executive Express Chiropractic...come find out for yourself. For a complimentary consultation call 415-392-2225...or just walk-in during open time and ask for one. Chances are...you will be glad you did.

Things Will Get Better If You Focus On The Right Things: The Things You Can Control

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

                              Sure these are tough times...but it's easy to use them as excuse not to take action. If you are suffering with chronic back pain or chronic neck pain...the last thing you need is the added stress of worrying about something you have no control over...the economy.

In fact, I remember doing research on the relationship between stress and cancer...and there was a famous study that was done with mice on a spin wheel. The mice that had control over the spin wheel released hormones that were anabolic (pro growth) and healthy. The mice that were unable to control the spin wheel produced hormones that were catabolic (destructive to tissue) and very unhealthy...precursors to cancer.

Putting yourself into a situation (mentally) that you have no control over can cause serious harm...so why do it?

Put your mental attention and focus on the things you do have control over, such as what you eat, how often you exercise, what you read, how you prepare for your work, how you take care of your spine, what you put into your body, etc.

Not only does the mere act of doing this produce healthy chemicals...the actual lifestyle knobs you are adjusting produce healthy outcomes in and of themselves.

If you put your attention on making yourself more valuable to your employer you will make more money. If you just complain that you want to make more money, you will keep getting more of the same. It's just how it works. And because you have control over the process and effort you are making, you make healthy chemicals.

This is why complainers and people with negative attitudes always seem to be sick...it's a negative feedback loop. It's also why people with a really poor diet are often overweight and suffer chronic illnesses...it catches up to you.

So focus on the right things...the things you have control over...and let everything else happen as it will.

The World Is Upside Down

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

I wake up at around 4AM everyday to workout. It's just a habit I've never been able to break since my days as a stockbroker over 20 years ago.

I turn on CNBC to see how the markets are doing. Lately, this has not been very pleasant...especially today. Today looks like the markets around the world are collapsing. Fortunes are being lost, retirement plans are being put on hold, and jobs are evaporating...it's downright ugly. This is a once in a lifetime event.

But the thing is...we got ourselves into this mess. Now we have to pay the price. We made the decision as a whole to indulge, binge, and spend way more than we had...now the patient is sick. And the band-aids from the FED are not working...the patient has cancer.

I'm feeling it just like everyone else...but I have no control over it. However, I do have control over the actions I take today to stay healthy and feed my family...and so do you.

Just like when you are at the dinner table...if you make the decision to binge and eat rich fatty foods day in and day out...eventually you will pay the price. If you smoke cigarettes for too long eventually you will pay the price. If you are late to work every day you will pay the price. There is a price tag on everything.

Life is like a cafeteria line...you can take whatever you want...but at the end of the line you have to pay the price...and they always put the desserts at the beginning of the line.
