Living well for life

It's as simple as that.

Your brain and nervous system controls and regulates all bodily functions. The spine and skull protect the nervous system. Spinal distortions stress the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments keep the spine healthy and the nervous system free from stress. The intelligence of the body is now free to express itself at 100%. It's as simple as that.

Nutritional cause of spinal distortions

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:37:00 +0000

Three stresses- physical, chemical, and emotional play havoc on spinal alignment. We have to address all three. One cannot be left out. I have found in my practice that a key ingredient that causes spinal distortions in my patients is sugar and all the processed foods that contain this horrible form of carbohydrate. Our bodies crave complex carbohydrates with all the vitamins and minerals. Our results were always great using Chiropractic adjustments. Our society today demands more because there are new stresses our bodies have to deal with. Disease is caused by toxicities and deficiencies. These can apply to any of the three stresses that I mentioned in the first sentence. I'll end with the famous quote from Thomas Edison.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Sounds a lot like a Chiropractor. Until next time, have a terrific day!

Who Gets Sick, Who Stays Well

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:32:00 +0000

STRESS! We all live with it and we cannot live without it. The survival value of our body depends on short term stress to press our bodies. This will determine if we are weak or strong. An army that never fights a battle is weak when an opponent faces him/her. There are two types of stress, eustress and distress. One is the positive pressure that exerts itself on our daily lives that creates healthy, strong, vibrant bodies. The other form of stress is destructive in nature. A perfect example is exercise. The chiropractic view of exercise according to The Chiropractic Textbook is a form of physical stress that is balanced and in perfect quantity and duration. This stress is enough to give the body what we call survival value. Too much quantity and duration of exercise leads to distress which is destructive to muscles, joints, organs, etc. Dr. Meaney PhD wrote a paper " Stress and Disease: Who gets sick, Who stays well. What he says is theat although an acute stress response is both healthy and appropriate, if it is maintained in a state of chronicity it will eventually harm the host. We are meant to be stressed for very short periods of time in order for flight or fight. Stress is supposed to be accompanied by the increased physiological demands of fight or flight. When stress becomes chronic, and especially when this takes place in the absence of physical exertion, the effects are globally detrimental. Life is a choice and where we stand in our health today is solely determined by the decisions we have made in our lives that bring us in or out of harmonious balanced stress.

Missing link for infantile colic

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 17:03:00 +0000

Many parents have endured the screaming cries of their children suffering from infantile colic. I can recall countless times when mom and dad with dark circles under their eyes would bring junior into the office just hoping that I could help them. Just imagine not getting a full nights sleep for days, months, and weeks at a time. We have had great success with these children. A study was done in 1999 in Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.

The short term effect of spinal manipulation in the treatment of infantile colic: A randomized controlled clinical trial with a blinded observer.

Chiropractic adjustments do not treat infantile colic, but anytime nerves are restored to weak organs the body works more efficiently and balanced. Even children can have spinal stress! This is huge!!! The outcome measure was not pain or any other symptom. The outcome measure was restoration of normal mobility. Spread the message.

Just crack me?

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 03:09:00 +0000

It is amazing how many people call in to just get cracked. Chiropractic is so much more if applied properly. Your nervous system controls and regulates every living function in your body. If it is out of adjustment, ill health will follow. If it is in adjustment, good health will follow. The adjustment to the spine sounds like something that should be done with great care. The analogy that I always use is the piano. The more it is played, the more it needs to be tuned. An expert with the ear to hear notes is called to do the job. He doesn't haphazardly bang the keys into tune. He delicately tunes them with instruments and the trained ear. A gifted Chiropractor has the instruments and the trained hands to locate and correct spinal pressure. My dad, who has been practicing for close to 50 years told me a story of a patient who came in to his office. This fella wanted a $10 adjustment like the guy down the road gives. My dad said, "Sure." As the man proceeded to take his winter jacket off, my dad stopped him and said, "No, just leave your jacket on." The man got the idea and decided that he didn't want a $10 adjustment. So when choosing a Chiropractor who is going to give you quality care, find someone who is going to take the time to tune your body with delicate care.

Changes on x-rays.

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 02:31:00 +0000

Recently, I have been really excited about what I do. Not that I haven't been excited in the past, but what I have found recently has upped it to a new level. The big question has always been, "Can we stop and reverse the degenerative process?" We will never know unless we take post x-rays. In our office I like to take progress films 90 days after the initial pictures. My faith in what I do is always increased when I see a positive structural change on the post x-rays. The best part of it all is when a patient smiles after seeing that they are improving not only symptomatically, but structurally. The same applies for patients that were advised to continue their corrective chiropractic care and declined. I had one return 5 years later and found that she progressed from a phase 1 to a phase 2 degenerative process in her lumbar and cervical spine. This all happened in a very short time span. The subluxation is progressive. It has a beginning, a present, and a future. This all happens many times without symptoms. In fact this happens most of the time without symptoms. I urge all people not to wait until it hurts. Chiropractic is part of a lifestyle. When added to your other healthy habits such as diet, exercise, sleep and positive mental attitude, you will reap a healthy body that will pay you dividends for years to come.

The 90 Day Rule

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:03:00 +0000

Our culture demands a quick fix. They want there hamburgers fast. They want everything that has a drive-through. Everything is at the palm of our hands with people texting on the go and the web on there i phone. Gone are the days of the written letter or even the phone call to say hi. The same goes with health and healing.
As a doctor who is interested in the care of his patients, I always follow natural laws to get the best results. One of those laws is the 90 Day Law. What the 90 Day Law in essence says is that it takes roughly 90 days for anything to properly heal in the body. This applies to broken bones, sprained ligaments, muscle injuries, joint injuries, etc.. Of course this all depends on the severity of the injury, but on average it is 90 days. I have experienced patients who have had spinal decay that has been progressing for over 10 years. Many of these patients expect a quick fix with one or two adjustments. Let me make a BIG distinction between the pain and the problem. The problem has usually been around long before the pain ever arrived. If they want true health, they are going to have to address the problem which requires time. I didn't make up this law. It's just like 9 months for a pregnancy. Why 9 months? I don't know! That's just the way God created us. Until next time, keep smiling and tell others to do the same.

The Silent Killer

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:12:00 +0000

I always explain to my patients that there is a big difference between the pain that they are experiencing and the problem that caused it. If you were to ask the average citizen on the road what health is, what would they tell you? The most common response is, "When I am feeling fine, of course". We all want to go through life with no pain and I have always heard the phrase, "If it aint broke, don't fix it". The problem with this attitude is that a majority of the public does not know when there is a problem. You see, symptoms are always the last thing to appear and the first thing to go away when dealing with a disease process. Also, did you know that 93% of your nervous systems function has nothing to do with sensory pain. Wow! It all goes to the function of your muscle function and also to the function of your organs, blood vessels, and glands. Since your nervous system controls and regulates every living function in your body, wouldn't it be smart to cultivate it and take care of it. Chiropractors are trained in the prevention and detection of spinal stress on your nervous system which for the last century has been called "The Silent Killer". Keep the spine healthy and everything else follows.

The Breakthrough Technology Of The ProAdjuster

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:14:00 +0000

Imagine thirty to forty years ago, if we told you that dentistry would be painless, that doctors would watch television to perform surgeries, that brain surgery for tumors could be done with a laser, that fetuses could be operated on within the uterus, that knife-less surgery could be performed- you would not have believed us. By the same token, would you believe us if we told you that Chiropractic treatments and reorientation of the nervous system could be done comfortably, while you were sitting in an upright position without any turning or sudden movements? Would you believe that newborns as well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely and gently?

Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with Chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. The potential for the human being to end pain and to achieve their peak nervous system function has never been greater. Humans are consistently asking their bodies to perform at higher levels. Now we have the techniques and the technology to match the demand placed on the spine and the nervous system. We now have the capability to fine tune our own energy and enhance every aspect of our lives.

Complex Technology, Simple Solution. The ProAdjuster.

You can achieve maximum health for your body now and in the future beginning with a simple anatomical concept. The nervous system (the brain and all the nerves) controls every function of your body. If this network is interfered with, pain ensues, as does bodily malfunction, resulting in sickness and diminished overall health. The “something” you can do to improve performance and maximize health is to maximize the health of your nervous system. There are several ways to do this. The number one way is allowing a doctor of Chiropractic using the ProAdjuster equipment to analyze and treat your nervous system.

Chiropractic Increases Athletic Performance

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:12:00 +0000

Did you know that most professional sports teams have a team Chiropractor. In the article below we see the use of Chiropractic for the Olympic athletes. Why would Chiropractic be needed for people who appear to be in great physical condition? I don't see them stooped over with back pain or sciatica. They don't seem to be holding their necks to keep them from moving because of the pain. The answer is simple as to why they utilize the advantage of Chiropractic for their sports. A natural law governs the health of every living tissue in the human body. Chiropractors work with this natural law by giving spinal adjustments which free the communication pathway to every organ, gland, blood vessel, muscle, etc.. It's as simple as that! The nervous system controls and regulates every living function in the body. If there is a block in this system, ill health will result. If it is free from any blocks, top health is the result. These athletes are not using Chiropractic for pain, but are using the advantage of Chiropractic for top performance. Next time you hear of a friend or family member who is going in for a Chiropractic wellness adjustment, you will understand that well adjusted people are always healthier and will perform better than those who are not.

Chiropractic Care Included in 2010 Olympic Vancouver Winter Games
A news release from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) on February 5, 2010 also printed on the EarthTimes website opens with the statement, "For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, will include chiropractic care inside the Olympic Village Polyclinic, a multi-disciplinary facility that offers comprehensive health care and medical services."
The release notes that chiropractors have been part of the Olympic games by helping athletes as part of their individual country's healthcare staffs. However, this time in addition to the chiropractors from the individual nations, chiropractic care will be offered by the host nation of Canada at the Polyclinic which is open for all athletes from around the world.
The F4CP release notes that throughout the years, chiropractic has become a mainstay in the care of world-class athletes, leading to a growing number of doctors of chiropractic included in the Olympic Games. Countless athletes attribute the care they receive from their chiropractors, working along-side other health care professionals, as a key to properly preparing their bodies to perform optimally.
The release also reports that chiropractic care has experienced several major moments in Olympic history. The first may well have been when a chiropractor, Dr. Leroy Perry, provided chiropractic care to athletes representing Antigua during the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada. The F4CP also noted that during the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, NY, another chiropractor, Dr. George Goodheart, became the first official chiropractor appointed to the U.S. Olympic team. Since then each subsequent Olympic Games and Pan American Games, the U.S. teams, along with a growing number of other national teams, have included at least one doctor of chiropractic on their medical staff.
Dr. Bill Moreau, a chiropractor recently promoted to the Director of Sports Medicine Clinics for the US Olympic Committee, stated, "Inclusion inside the Polyclinic is another major milestone for the chiropractic profession, and we are grateful to the Host City of Vancouver, the head of Medical Services at the Polyclinic, Jack Taunton, M.D., and to Robert Armitage, D.C., who helped make this possible.”

Chiropractic for Kids: Getting the Word Out

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:30:00 +0000

Chiropractic for Kids: Getting the Word Out
The above is the headline of a feature article in the January 2010 issue of "To Your Health". The feature article begins by relating the story of 6 week old Cameron, who hadn't slept longer than an hour at a time, was fussy when awake, had difficulty nursing and seemed to spit up more than he ate.
The story noted that Marlena, the boy's mother, was at her wit's end when a friend suggested she take her baby to a chiropractor. Even though she was skeptical, she was willing to give it a try. The article reported that after just three visits Cameron was a completely different child. They noted that he slept for longer stretches, nursed for shorter stretches, rarely spit up and, was happy and content.
The article then does a good job in explaining how chiropractic helped young Cameron. The author explained, "When a joint in the spine or cranium doesn't move properly (a condition called a subluxation), it has the potential to irritate the nervous system. And it's the nervous system that runs the baby's body, carrying instructions from the brain to distant body parts. If that communication system becomes disrupted, the affected body part may not function properly. Chiropractic care removes the source of irritation, allowing the body to heal and operate properly."
Cameron's case is not a singular one. The article notes that a recent survey showed that up to 14 percent of all visits to chiropractors are for children, and chiropractic is the most used non-medical care for children. The article also reported that according to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) there were more than 2 million pediatric visits to chiropractors in 2007. The article noted that chiropractic adjustments for children are very different than those given on adult spines. They also reported that chiropractic's record makes it the safest form of healthcare available.
In closing, the article lists a number of conditions that commonly respond to chiropractic care for children. The list of conditions included such problems as colic, ear infections, bed-wetting, asthma, scoliosis, constipation, headaches, and a variety of other health problems.

Dr. Steve's comments:
I have a picture at home of a 3 year old adjusting his teddy bear. To this child Chiropractic care was a way of life. Mom and Dad didn't run to the medicine cabinet every time a fever crept up or signs of a cold surfaced. He was given essentials needed to heal to the best of his ability. They new that with proper rest, good nutrition, love, and a healthy spine free from stress, their boy would recover and heal as expected. The boy in the picture was me and now I am the one making sure the children have the greatest chance of health possible. My children are checked for spinal stress on a regular basis, and they are a living testament of the positive effects of being under Chiropractic care. Chiropractic is not just for back pain or symptom relief. Less than 10% of the nervous system is sensory which means that 90% has nothing to do with how you feel. Send this message to someone in need. It could be the very message that changed a child's life.

"Each patient carries His own doctor inside Him. We are our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to work.

We Live to Serve

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:53:00 +0000

I truly learn a lot running a Chiropractic practice. You will not only learn a lot about people of all walks of life, but mostly you will learn more about yourself. I am self employed and enjoy the benefits of setting my schedule and having the freedom to run the business as I choose. However, just because I am self employed does not mean that I have no employer. Every practice member in Kraft Family Chiropractic is an employer of Dr. Steve Kraft. I serve them and work for them. I wake up every day trying to invent new ways of delivering a better service to my practice members. I think that is the way our Heavenly Father designed it. The goal in life is not to be selfish but selfless. The bible says in Mark 10:45 NIV "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Christ is my example. Whether we are a husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, or employee, we should strive to serve. This would change your life for the better and will have a lasting impact on the lives of all the people in your circle of influence in life.

True Healing

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:52:00 +0000

Christmas is a celebration of the ultimate gift. A Gift that would heal at the source of all sickness, all pain, all evil. It cost us nothing, yet it's value is priceless. If everyone received it with thanksgiving the world would be changed. Some receive it knowing it's worth and the price that the giver paid. Some, not knowing it's worth, place it in storage to collect dust. Others may keep the receipt so they can exchange it for something that may appear to be of equal value, but pales in comparison.
Keep the Christ in Christmas! Remember the true reason for the season! Receive Him with joy and take Him into your heart.....That is where true healing begins.

3 Ways to Sleep Soundly

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:03:00 +0000

Stick to a Routine

When it comes to getting a good night's sleep, conditioning your body to sleep at a certain time (and for a certain length of time) increases your chances of falling asleep quickly and waking up refreshed. Developing an evening ritual is also important in this regard: Set the stage for quality sleep with a warm bath, a good book or soft music.

Light and darkness

Sunlight helps regulate your circadian clock, the body's 24-hour cycle, and also stimulates the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep cycle. On the other hand, when you're preparing for sleep, it's vital to limit sources of light that can make it harder to doze off. That means pulling the shades, turning off all the lights and shutting doors.

Don't Drink, Don't Smoke

There are countless reasons not to do either of the above, but in terms of sleep, drinking alcohol and smoking can have profound negative consequences. You may think alcohol will help you fall asleep, but it won't keep you asleep, not after it's metabolized. And nicotine is a stimulant - perfect for keeping you awake all night long.
To Your Health
August, 2009 (Vol. 03, Issue 08)

DR. KRAFT'S COMMENTS: Most Americans without realizing it are sleep deprived to some degree. Proper quantity of quality sleep is a time to repair and regenerate healthy cellular structure in our bodies. Without it our bodies will begin to deteriorate and age at a faster rate. This leads to dis-ease and later may lead to disease. Chiropractically speaking, if the spine has subluxation patterns causing excess stress and lack of ease in the human body, quality sleep may be unattainable. The body will never truly have an opportunity to go into a complete state of relaxation and rest. If this occurs over an expansive time period, the whole body will suffer. In addition to the advice above, I would include a regimine of Chiropractic Care in your life routine.

Who wouldn't want to live life without drugs?

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:03:00 +0000

I came across a patient of mine the other day who is 96 years old. Believe it or not, this individual is not on any medications what so ever. Amazing, you may think. I asked him what his secret was and to my astonishment, the answer was very simple. Eat well, move well, think well. That's it? Yep, that's it. The place where we stand in our health and well being today is a product of the decisions that we have made throughout our life. The Chiropractic philosophy is not just about getting your brain and body to communicate without stress, but about living a life that agrees with nature. It really is quite simple. Do you want to know what the only difficult part of it is? It's one word that we all struggle with and it can either destroy us or bring us to the greatest level of abundance in life. Are you ready? HABIT. You must develop the habit of making good decisions. Habits are formed over weeks and months, but once you have them they will work for you. So start today and enjoy the journey.

It's all about people

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:54:00 +0000

As our country has been struggling economically, everything comes down to becoming more and more simple in the way we do things. I was reading Ecclesiastes and after all of Solomons pondering the meaning of life, he comes down to one simple rule. To fear God and to follow his commandments. In the book of Matthew chapter 6, Jesus tells us one simple rule to follow as opposed to worrying about all the cares of life. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. I believe that what He was saying is that the Kingdom of God is all about people and that we should be looking for ways to affect the lives of people in a way that would give glory to God. In return, He will take care of us.

Our way of giving to people this Thanksgiving and Christmas season is by offering a
Community Appreciation Month. I hope we can reach out and help as many people as possible.

Going through the motions

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:16:00 +0000

Have you ever felt that life was just blowing by at warp speed? One year goes by, then two, then 5, then 10. What happened? Was that time spent well? Did you give everything you had? Most people are going through the motions from day to day. Why did we do what we did today? Why?.....because we did the same thing yesterday and last week and last month. If things are going to change, and purpose and passion are going to be a part of your life, the cycle needs to be broken. Adopt a new routine. Starting today make a decision to live your life with passion and purpose. I'm going to give you a few suggestions.

#1 Make a positive impact on the relationships that are most important in your life. You know what you need to do. Search your heart.

#2 Look for ways to serve. This can be done anywhere. Be creative. I believe this is a key to finding your purpose.

#3 Take care of your mind. Turn off the news and put down the paper. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.

#4 Take care of your spirit. I suggest reading the bible. Just understand, we are all going to live forever, so we better get things in order before we pack up and leave the cover page of the book which is this life on earth. Life is a vapor compared to eternity.

#5 Take care of your body. Eat well and move well. Your body is a marvelous machine and it needs 6 things. Good nutrition, positive body movements through exercise, fresh water and air, proper rest, and healthy functioning nervous system. Let me stress the last one that I mentioned because if is the only one that you cannot fully affect on your own. Yes, you can stretch and exercise and sit up and stand with good posture, but if the spine is misaligned and not moving properly it will affect the delicate nerves that cause every living function in your body to be less than optimal. If not corrected it can lead to future health problems. So have your spine evaluated by a Chiropractor ASAP to see if you have spinal nerve stress.

These are just a few things that will lead to a life of purpose and passion and vitality. Start with just a couple and move to the next. You will be glad you did.

Anti Aging

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Sat, 23 May 2009 03:03:00 +0000

In the 14 years that I have been practicing Chiropractic I am amazed at the long term affects of regular specific Chiropractic. I say specific because that is the type of adjustment that will yield long term results. I'm not meaning to step on any Chiropractors toes, but being specific is what sets our office apart from all the rest. The fruit of my labor is to see progress films after 5 years that actually look better. In my eyes, these patients are not only going to live longer, but they are also going to have years full of life. Exercise and nutrition are important, but if the joints of the spine are going through a degenerative process, their health will be less than optimal. So what are you waiting for? Call a specific Chiropractor and enjoy the true anti aging secret of Chiropractic

Migraine Headaches

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:13:00 +0000

Did you know that Chiropractic has had great success with migraine headaches? Yes, it is true. the simple truth is that any time the spine is moving properly and in good balance it will handle stressful situations much easier. Migraines are usually triggered by some stress, whether known or unknown. A Chiropractic adjustment frees up the vertebra and creates balance within the entire body causing the body to be in a state of ease. Remember, the opposite of ease is dis-ease.

The Value of Chiropractic

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:06:00 +0000

I am so blessed to do what I do every day! In what other profession can you see life restored to everyone that participates. That is what I see. Headaches gone, asthma gone, dizziness gone, numbness and tingling have disappeared, blood pressure has dropped, or I haven't felt this alive in years. These are responses that I get all day long. Chiropractic has the potential to affect so many lives if applied properly. I have accentuated the application of Chiropractic because that is the key to the results that we get. In my office, patients are not run through like a mill. We will approach every patient with care and precision. That is what they deserve, isn't it? That is the key to our success. That is what gives Chiropractic Value!

So Many Drugs?

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Mon, 19 May 2008 13:22:00 +0000

Ask someone over the age of 65 if they are on any medications and some will give you a long list and many will give you a couple that they are taking most definitely for the rest of their lives. If these meds were the answer, we would have the healthiest nation in the world, wouldn't you think? Well, America, according to the WHO (World Health Organization) ranks 37th in world health. Don't get me wrong, modern medicine has saved lives. I think that we would probably rank #1 when it came to first aid and crisis care. Medical care was designed to do just that, dig someone out of a hole and place them on their two feet. Done. Please let me explain this scenario with a story. A house is on fire and the fire department shows up to do what they do best, extinguish the fire. After much work and determination they succeed in controlling the blaze and the house is saved. However, much damage has been done. Normally, the owners of the house would contact the restoration experts (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc.), but instead the firemen end up sticking around to rebuild the house. Nothing gets accomplished because building a house with axes and hoses doesn't help build the house.

Do you see the parallel? Our bodies which were formed according to natural laws cannot be built using man made chemicals. They will only be destroyed. I am going to end this session with a quote from someone you may recognize.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas A. Edison
inventor

Try Chiropractic, it is the natural choice to help rebuild the house.

Here we go!

noreply@blogger.com (Dr. Steven R. Kraft) — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:13:00 +0000

Well, this is my first blog. Pretty exciting. I just have to get warmed up a bit and I'm sure I will be able to get the creative juices flowing. My main purpose in starting is to have a more effective way to communicate natural living practices to the community.
I guess I can start by telling a little about myself. I am a Chiropractor in Washington Township, MI. I graduated from Life University in Marietta, GA in 1996. I have a lovely wife and four beautiful children. I come from a family of five Chiropractors who also practice in Michigan. My father has been in practice now for 46 years! I guess you can say I grew up with it. It's not just that I grew up with Chiropractic, but that I grew up with living life from a natural standpoint. We truly did our best to live our lives within the natural laws that God had put in place. What I mean is that we understood that health could only come from obeying the natural laws of staying in good physical condition, eating good nutrition, and staying mentally healthy. All daily stresses can be linked to one of these three categories. It was only natural that I would follow in my father's footsteps. Outside of my vocation lies my greatest passion. My family and I are devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. My Christian faith is central to everything that I do. It is my Lord that supplies all that I need and is the source of every blessing in my life. In my spare time I enjoy sailing my sunfish. I am actively involved in racing against other sailors who also sail sunfish.
I look forward to corresponding with you on health matters as they relate to the spirit, soul, and body.
