Unpacking Wellness Chiropractic

At its core, wellness chiropractic doesn’t just address the symptoms or immediate concerns; it seeks to optimize the overall function and vitality of the entire body. Instead of waiting for pain or discomfort to surface, the wellness approach proactively invests in your health to prevent potential issues and elevate your overall well-being.

The Pivotal Benefits of Wellness Chiropractic

1. Prevention is Key: One of the foundational benefits of wellness chiropractic is the proactive prevention of degeneration and potential spinal problems. It’s about safeguarding your future health.

2. Immunity Boost: A well-adjusted spine enhances the function of your immune system, making you less susceptible to illnesses and improving your body’s natural ability to heal.

3. Surge of Energy: Say goodbye to fatigue! With improved spinal health comes increased energy levels, allowing you to live life more zestfully.

4. Optimized Nervous System: Our nervous system is the communication highway of the body. Wellness chiropractic ensures this system functions flawlessly, facilitating effective communication to and from the brain.

5. Restorative Sleep: With a balanced nervous system and alleviated spinal tensions, you’re more likely to enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.

6. Stand Tall with Proper Posture: Regular adjustments not only alleviate pain but ensure that you maintain an upright and proper posture.

7. A Symphony of Systems: The spine is the backbone of your body – quite literally! A well-maintained spine ensures the smooth functioning of various body systems, be it digestion, reproduction, breathing, movement, focus, and more.

In Conclusion

Embracing wellness chiropractic is akin to adopting a proactive approach to your health, ensuring not just the absence of illness, but the presence of optimal vitality. At the end of the day, it’s about thriving, not just surviving. Consider integrating wellness chiropractic into your health regimen and unlock a world of enhanced well-being.

Understanding InvisaRed Technology

First things first, what exactly is InvisaRed? It’s a groundbreaking laser technology designed to support fat loss, boost metabolism, diminish cellulite, and rejuvenate skin. The beauty of this technology lies in its ability to deliver tangible results that aren’t merely temporary water weight losses but genuine shifts in body composition.

Why InvisaRed is a Game Changer

Here are some reasons why we believe InvisaRed is revolutionizing chiropractic wellness:

1. Comprehensive Care: While chiropractic care primarily focuses on the spine, incorporating InvisaRed allows us to offer solutions that address aesthetic concerns, further enhancing our patient’s confidence and overall well-being.
2. Tailored Programs: Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, InvisaRed weight loss programs are customized to align with specific goals, body types, and needs. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s a personal journey towards achieving optimal health.
3. Enhanced Skin Health: Beyond weight loss, the InvisaRed Body Contouring and Aesthetics program offers a plethora of benefits for the skin, from increasing collagen production to fading stretch marks. These subtle improvements can have a profound impact on self-esteem.

InvisaRed and Holistic Wellness

At Peak Performance Chiropractic & Wellness Center, our mission has always been clear – to deliver comprehensive chiropractic care to the Fort Collins, Colorado community. With the addition of InvisaRed, we’re moving beyond traditional treatments and tapping into the world of technological advancements to offer solutions that encompass both physical and aesthetic wellness.

The post The Revolution in Chiropractic Wellness: Embracing InvisaRed Technology appeared first on Peak Performance Chiropractic.

Q. How is invisa-RED different from other body slimming technologies?

A. Other body slimming devices are only able to accomplish temporary inch loss through skin tightening in the area of treatment. invisa-RED is the only clinically proven device for weight reduction, fat reduction and inch loss. invisa-RED Machines have the ability to adjust power output, pulse, and delay settings to maximize each individual patient, case by case. Patient results are both rapid and concrete. Our technology not only provides true weight loss but also skin tightening, cellulite removal, spot specific contouring, and stretch-mark fading. By combining technology and practical application within our own facilities we have been able to provide what others can only claim.

Q. Is invisa-RED safe?

A.Yes: invisa-RED laser light energy is part of the range of electromagnetic rays that are absolutely necessary for metabolism and growth of human beings and is also part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight minus the skin damaging UV rays, which is why NASA currently uses this type of energy in space. It is also vibration energy, with which the human body resonates. This is the reason that it can penetrate through the skin, and leads to weight loss, skin tightening, and other great results.

Q. How does it work?

A. invisa-RED technology stimulates cellular respiration, lymphatic function and increases the metabolism through the synthesis of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Irradiation of invisa-RED’s dual coherent laser wavelengths (red 680nm and infrared 980nm) exert an overall effect of photobiostimulation on the cellular metabolism.

Photobleaching (pulsing) of the light energy and interference from these coherent wavelengths, allow for a higher rate of energy density (absorption into cells) and deeper penetration into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Fat is utilized as an energy source from the supercharged metabolism as well as removed from the body via lymphatic excretion (urine & sweat).

The rapid absorption of laser energy heats the subcutaneous tissue and increases localized blood flow to transfer nutrients and oxygen in the cells. The saturation of oxygen triggers cellular respiration and is processed into cellular energy generating the synthesis of Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP), enhancing the body’s natural metabolism for the immediate utilization of stored fat energy. What does all that mean? Fat loss, weight loss, and body sculpting occurs via your body’s own processes.

The pulsed laser energy accelerates and replicates this metabolic process for 15 – 20 minutes during treatment.

The heat absorbed by the tissue amplifies the production of collagen and elastin to create tighter and healthier skin as well as fading stretch marks. The increased collagen production repairs and strengthens connective tissues to eliminate cellulite from the targeted area.

Hemoglobin from the increased blood flow transports waste products and toxins out of the adipose cells into the blood stream to be removed from the body.

Treatment times are dramatically shorter and substantially more effective with our technology. Within two minutes of the treatment; water, glycerol, triglycerides, and toxins are released from the fat cells. Most of the released fat is utilized as an energy source from the supercharged metabolism as well as removed from the body via lymphatic excretion (urine & sweat). The supercharged metabolism will continue to burn fat for several hours after treatments just like it would from high intensity exercise and strength training. Cells are not harmed during the process unlike invasive procedures.

Energy density or absorption rate of the energy into the fat cells plays a major role in patients’ results. To accomplish optimal absorption rate of energy several factors must be taken into consideration; service being performed, site of area being treated, skin tone and severity of the issue. Since all patients differ in these factors, general cookie cutter protocols from single frequency machines have proven to be inconsistent in their results in many cases. We modify your treatment after each session, depending on how your body responds, to ensure you get the BEST results possible.

Q. How many treatments do I need?
A. Patients will start their program by focusing on losing their first 20 pounds of body fat which is usually around twenty-four treatments. If the patient needs to lose more than 20 pounds of fat they will continue treatments until their goal is reached. Two to three short treatments per week is recommended for the duration of your treatment schedule.

Treatment session needs vary from client to client. A consultation with one or our clinicians will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you will need to achieve your desired results.

Treatments also vary depending on your goals: Some patients have weight loss goals, other have skin rejuvenation goals, etc.

Sleep. We all need it but do we all get enough? The answer is a pretty obvious no. Between deadlines and Netflix binges, I think it is safe to assume we’ve all stayed up a little too late when we have an early morning the next day. But, the question is, how does that affect our health? Sure, we’re sluggish the next day, relying too much on caffeine to get us through to “clock out time”, but let’s dig a little deeper!

During rest is when our body does a lot of its natural recovery, so it’s important to make sure sleep is a priority! Getting the correct amount of sleep has been shown to help with heart health, anxiety and depression disorders, metabolism, immune system, Diabetes, and other diseases.

This year has been stressful and different for many of us! That means self care and getting enough rest and sleep is even more important than ever. The accumulative effects of stress are bad enough; don’t let lack of sleep add to that stressful environment.

Tips to getting the BEST sleep possible:

1. Stick to a schedule, even on weekends and vacation
2. Have a consistent bedtime routine
3. Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes
4. Make sure you have your ideal bedroom lighting and temperature
5. Avoid night time drinks like caffeine and alcohol
6. Turn off electronics before bed

How much sleep is the right amount?

Now the question I am sure we are all asking, “How much sleep do I need?” According to the National Sleep Foundation, the recommendations are:

• Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours daily
• Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours daily
• Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours daily
• Preschoolers (3-5 years): 10-13 hours daily
• School age (6-13 years): 9-11 hours daily
• Teenagers (14-17 years): 8-10 hours daily
• Young Adults (18-25 years): 7-9 hours daily
• Adults (26-64): 7-9 hours daily
• Older Adults (65+): 7-8 hours daily

Do you get the recommended amount of sleep for your age? What about your kiddos? Is there a tip listed above that you plan to add to help?

What I’ve noticed about sleep…

For me personally, I average right at 8 hours a night. If I can, I allow myself a nap or two on the weekends if I need it, and I try to limit my caffeine so that I am not too dependent on it. But we all have our days of an afternoon pick-me-up, so don’t feel bad when you just need to hit the coffee shop!

I usually feel bad about going to bed hours before my husband but, I know one thing for sure; I will never feel guilty about my early bedtime again!

Happy sleeping!!

The post Are You Getting Enough Sleep? appeared first on Peak Performance Chiropractic.

I love helping people understand chiropractic. Here are my top 7 most frequently asked questions, complete with answers and information for you!

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a health science based on correcting interference in the nerve system. This interference is caused by physical, chemical, and emotional stresses. Specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments remove that interference so your body will function at its optimum potential. That means you will be the best you ever!

What is an adjustment?

Adjustments can be performed in various ways. In our office we do specific “thrusts” by hand which is called a “manual adjustment.” It is fast and non-painful. The purpose of the adjustment is to remove the interference on your nerve system and allow your body to heal and function better.

Will my adjustment hurt?

NO! We adjust people of all ages from newborns, to small children, pregnant women, right up to grandma and grandpa! The style of adjusting is tailored to each person – their history and their preference.

How many times do I have to come?

That’s easy – come as often as you want to heal, feel great, defy age, and live pain-free! Because each individual is unique on every level, it is difficult to know how many times you will need to be adjusted in order to reach each of your health and wellness goals. One thing is for sure – we will take your goals into account and will give you our best recommendations for care as we determine your care plan, frequency, and duration.

Will I feel better after getting adjusted?

Your care is unique to you. Likewise, how your body heals and responds is also unique. Most people are very happy with the results of chiropractic care. Many of them feel some improvement or some relief from pain almost immediately after an adjustment. It is also possible that the pain may require several adjustments to fade away. Rarely, people may experience a temporary increase in their symptoms before they start to get better. No matter what your course to recovery takes, you should know that beyond the removal of symptoms, chiropractic care offers an opportunity for much greater overall health.

What services do you offer?

We offer the most personalized supportive chiropractic care possible for all ages and a true community of practice members who care about their health and the well-being of those around them.

What if I feel fine? Do I need to keep coming back?

That is always up to you! The truth is that often times those who stop care when they “feel fine” often return later with the same problem. On the other hand, those that commit to regular care find their problem rarely returns; additionally, they enjoy a higher quality of life and health. If regular chiropractic care keeps you “feeling fine”, why would you choose to stop doing what’s working for you? It’s kind of like this: if your teeth feel fine, do you stop brushing them?

The post Dr. Mel’s Top 7! appeared first on Peak Performance Chiropractic.

It’s that time of year! The time of year that stresses our immune systems the most. But did you know that there isn’t such thing as a “cold and flu season”? It’s true! We tend to get “sick” more during the winter months because we aren’t outside, being active, and soaking up that natural Vitamin D! We also tend to have more stress, eat more sugar, and consume less water. These factors dampen our immune system’s strength, making us more susceptible to infections.

What Can We Do?

I get asked the question all of the time about what we can do to help our bodies, all year long, but especially during the winter months.

So, here are a few things that I commit to so that my immune system is at its best:

1. Get adequate sleep. Our bodies do most of its natural healing during sleep – when we go into that rest and digest phase! Adults should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night. And children need even more!
2. Exercise regularly. We should be getting at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. Your exercise should at least be a fast-paced walk. Get that heart rate up a little!
3. Drink water. We should be getting at least half of our body weight in ounces of water, per day! And no, the water you used to make your coffee or tea doesn’t count. Coffee actually has the opposite affect on our bodies so you should be deducting that amount from your total ounces of water!
4. Eat a healthy diet. Processed foods play a role in adding stress to our immune system. Eating natural foods will give your body the nutrients that it needs to fight away illness. Just remember that 80/20 rule (eat natural, unprocessed foods at least 80% of the time, and it’s ok if you slip up or have other things the other 20%), and your body will thank you!
5. Supplement Vitamin D. When we aren’t making out own natural Vitamin D from our exposure to the sun, it is important to make sure we are still getting what our body needs. 5000 IU’s of Vitamin D per day will decrease your chance of getting sick tremendously!
6. Get regular chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractors are your nerve system doctors. Your nervous system controls all other systems in your body — including the immune system. Remove the stress on your nerve system to help boost everything else!

Does your family have anything else that you love to do to help your body? I would love to hear about it at your next visit!
