THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE

Your nervous system controls everything! Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls the function of viturally every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves in the body.



Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. All of the joints in your body are part of this musculo-skeletal system and its optimal function is necessary for overall good health.



Call to schedule an appt or free consult with Dr. Parker for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recomendations, nutritional advice or other conservative methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition and lifestyle.



Dr. Parker's office is located at 4343 W. Henderson Blvd, Tampa, FL 813-254-5200. Our office bills all major med insurances and we offer affordable care plans for cash patients as well. Call today!

Peripheral Neuropathy Seminar

NEXT PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY SEMINAR IS
THIS SATURDAY,

in our Tampa office, 4343 W. Henderson Blvd.
JANUARY 9TH
AT
11:00AM

Peripheral Neuropathy can effect hands, legs and/or feet...........







There are two types of symptoms with Peripheral Neuropathy; negative and positive.







Negative signs, which come first, are when damage to the nervous system, obviously,brings about a LOSS of a particular function. For exaample; loss of reflexes, loss of strength, loss of sensation like numbness. But these are rarely detectable to the patient, because the brain makes up the difference in the losses.

Only after some time do the sick and damaged nerves develop the positive signs of neuropathy; tingling , burning, biting, stabbing, shooting pains. This too is a reaction of the brain and the nervous system, unfortunately this over reaction tears apart the fiber of the patients’ lives.

DR JOHN PARKER CAN HELP!!!!!

If you or someone you know is having the symptoms of perpheral neuropathy then we urge you to attend this FREE seminar. The information received will be priceless and the care instrumental in helping you to begin feeling relief.

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

Migraine pain is most often felt in the temple, but it may be experienced anywhere in the face, head or neck.

So, what puts the ache in headache? The pain sensitive structure of the head is the culprit. These are the arteries of the brain and skull, the tissues surrounding the head veins, the dura matter covering over the brain, and certain nerves called cranial nerves. When these parts are inflamed or stretched, pulled or under pressure, any type of headache may occur.

Dr. Parker takes a different approach to the treatment and prevention of migraines and headaches. After a thorough neurological exam, the Dr. determines which part of the nervous system is not functioning properly. Take a look at our website www.parkercare.com and click on migraines and chronic headaches for more information and a heartfelt testimonial from a very happy patient.

Fibromyalgia

Imagine how different your life would be if you were free from the burdens that your fibromyalgia causes you.

Have you suffered with Fibromyalgia symptoms for a few months, a few years, or too many years to mention? Many may suffer only minor symptoms, while others (perhaps you or a loved one) feel the debilitating effects of Fibromyalgia and are kept from participating in their life, making even simple daily activities almost impossible.

How Does This Work?
You are most likely starting to wonder “What is the treatment going to be like?” I can tell you from personal experience and from watching patients and staff participate in the treatments, that they are beneficial and enjoyable.

Treatments can include one-sided adjustments, simple exercise, neurological exercises, eye exercises, or vestibular stimulation. These techniques coupled with a full neurological and nutritional workup have enabled us to help most of our patients to get rid of their chronic symptoms no matter how long they have been experiencing them

Call our office today to schedule an appt/consult/exam to see how Dr. Parker can help YOU! 813-254-5200

Brain Enhancement

Our Brain Enhancement Program recognizes that ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, learning disabilities, Autism, etc. have similar primary underlying causes. The areas of the brain involved in these disorders require similar intervention strategies.

Since hemispheric imbalance is often the main problem, it is not enough to just generally stimulate the brain. We must stimulate one side more than the other.

A hemispheric-based approach, or activities directed toward the goal of achieving a balance between the two sides of the brain, is the key to success. To achieve this we use hemispheric-specific activities including motor, academic, behavioral, audio-visual, and biochemical modalities.

Check our website for more information and to see an amazing testimonal from a child under care and see how well he has responded. http://www.parkercare.com/

Peripheral Neuropathy

Learn all about this disorder and how Dr. Parker can help you or your loved one. A class will be held here at our office on Wednesday, December 16th at 12:30pm. Mark your calendars and plan to attend.

Some neuropathies come on suddenly, others over many years. Some people are affected only by a weakness in the arms and legs which legs which leads to difficulty standing, walking, or getting out of a chair. The loss of sensation from the feet, ankles and toes contributes to patients not having a ‘good sense’ of where there feet are in space, touching the ground, and this causes them to fall very easily. These under-recognized sensory losses CAN ONLY be detected with proper clinical exam. This office has the necessary tools to uncover the underlying cause of this ’silent’ nerve damage.

Visit our website for more information on peripheral neuropathy. www.parkercare.com

The information provided in this class will be of great value to you if you are suffering or know someone who may have this type of problem. There is NO CHARGE for the class. Please call our office at 254-5200 to reserve your seat to attend the class.

TESTIMONIAL

thank you to Brigitte for her testimonial and kind words..................

ANOTHER
CHIROPRACTIC
SUCCESS STORY...

Name: BRIGITTE L.

Hello, my name is Brigitte. My success story is a great one, if you were in my shoes.

Almost 2 years ago I visited Dr. Parker with severe neck, back and right leg problems. Being on pain medicine for 15 years and nerve blocks the last 4 years left me feeling hopeless.

Dr. Parker's program is great for the "can you fix me?" question. Making me feel better and hoping to be able to walk again was more than I expected.

My program is now once a week, but I worked hard to reach this point. To my surprise, the supplement program has worked wonders. Who knew that this would be the plus to an A grade! How often do you find a doctor who thinks outside the box to help his patients? Really, how many doctors are truly like that?

Pictures are worth a thousand words. My picture was one of pain with days of doing little to nothing. Now my picture is much brighter as I am going to the gym and getting into shape with little to no pain.

THANK YOU DR. PARKER AND YOUR CARING MEDICAL STAFF!

What is an Adjustment?

What is an Adjustment?

You may hear the word from time to time from friends or family who regularly see their chiropractor and you wonder, so exactly WHAT is an adjustment?

An adjustment is the use of a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is "fixated" or "locked up" and not moving properly. Adjustments help return bones to a more normal motion or position, relieving pain and ill health.

When the 24 bones that protect the spinal cord lose their normal position or motion, delicate nerve tissue can become choked or irritated. So, when one of the bones is "out of place" so to speak, an ajustment will definitely help.

Each day millions of delightd patients choose chiropractic over drugs or surgery as a common sense approach to better health.

How does the chiropractor adjust the spine?

There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the doctor's hands or a specially designed instrument is used to deliver a highly accurate thrust. After years of training, Dr Parker has selected a variety of methods and has become skilled in each of those. Regardless of which technique is used, each chiropractic adjustment is specifically tailored to the patient's age, size and unique spinal problem.

Adjustments help normalize spinal function and join mobility. When nervous system function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing process.

Why not call our office today and make an appointment? You'll be on your way to better health!

Once a Chiro Patient Always a Chiro Patient?

Have you ever heard someone make this statement about chiropractic care? For instance, "I have some neck and back trouble, but I dont want to go to the chiropractor because once you start going, they keep you coming back".

Lets look at it this way, when you were a child and you had a toothache, were your parents afraid to take you to the dentist because..........once a dental patient, always a dental patient?

When a person begins treatment with a chiropractor, it is true that he or she is typically asked to return for multiple visits in the beginning phase of care and this is for a good reason. Your bones are used to being out of alignment. This misaligned position is as much a habit as having a cup of coffee every morning.

Some people, especially those who dont exercise regularly, are bound to have problems requiring chiropractic care. And some people actually have their first subluxation or spinal misalignment at birth due to required forceful methods of delivery. As an infant, the child could have chronic sinus infections, ear infections, digestive problems, colic, bed wetting, etc. That type of person will require some chiropractic care, even if its only 4 times per year for maintenance. Without proper chiropractic care, they are bound for chronic health problems of one type or another.

Lets go back to the dentist for a moment................if you ignore your teeth, by not brushing flossing and practicing good dental hygiene then you will lose your teeth. The same holds true for chiropractic health. If you ignore your spinal health, you are bound to have health problems.

So, once a chiropractic patient, always a chiropractic patient is a very cheerfully TRUE statement. We all need to work on our health. Chiropractic is such an effective way to reduce stress. Patients often choose to use chiro as a form of preventative care.

Chiropractic Approach to Sciatica

The Sciatic nerves are the largest and longest nerves of the body, reaching about the size of your thumb in diameter and running down the back of each leg.

Have you or someone you know ever have sciatica? One of the most common causes of sciatica is Vertebral Subluxation Complex. It can be accompanied by the bulging or herniation of the discs which seperate each spinal bone. This can put pressure on the sciatic nerve roots as they leave the spinal cord. And anyone who has had sciatica knows that the result can be intense pain shooting down either or both legs.

In the past, treatment for this has involved pain medications, muscle relaxers, physical therapy and/or surgery. The chiropractic approach is to use carefully directed and controlled pressure to remove the interference from spinal structures............These chiropractic adjustments can be quite effective in reducing nerve irritation and its associated pain.

Sciatica, like other health problems that can be traced to the spine, often respond dramatically to the restoration of normal spinal function through conservative chiropractic care.

Dr. Parker has helped many patients with this problem and he'd love to help you too!!!! Be sure to call this month for our breast cancer awareness donation NEW PATIENT appointment. Your $20 donation will get you a consult with the dr, a chiro exam, 1st treatment and all necessary xrays. Best deal in town and your donation goes for a cure

A CHIRO SUCCESS STORY!!!!

Chiropractic Success Story

by Tanya M....................

I have been visiting a chiropractor for over 20 years. When I was 18 I had the first of 3 car accidents within 4 years (no seat belt) and had whiplash, intense neck and back pain as a result. I have also experienced much TMJ pain and many migraine headaches throughout my 20s and 30s. I am a computer programmer so I am working on a computer over 30 hours per week, plus taking care of my 6- and 3-year-old children.

I have seen a much bigger improvement in the past 6 months after seeing Dr. Parker. In large part, I attribute this to the posture program that he initiated, along with short-term increased visits. My jaw pain has decreased significantly (from pain 2-3 days a week, down to pain 2-3 days a month). I also experience dramatically fewer headaches, less neck strain, and a feeling of improved posture where before I was frustrated about my rounded shoulders and inability to improve posture on my own.

I try to take care of myself, stay in shape, and have worked on learning how to manage stress and other relaxation techniques. But Dr. Parker provided the missing piece that I needed…working on the physical problems that kept me in pain.

Thank you so much!! My quality of life is improved, I am no longer in “chronic pain” and I am SO grateful. Now if we could just get some of my family members in here …

Since this writing, Tanya's sister and mother have both become patients at our clinic. We are happy to report that everyone is doing well!

Happy Birthday!

We'd like to wish a very Happy Birthday to our massage therapist, April! April has been here with us at Advanced Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center for almost one year. She is also set to be married in less than two weeks so double congrats are in order! Happy Birthday April and Happy Wedding wishes to you and your husband to be, Gary.

Our staff would also like to wish all of our September birthday patients a very happy day. Whatever it is you choose to do on your birthday we hope it involves some presents and just a little bit of cake!
Would you like to "GIVE a gift" for your birthday? Send a friend or family member in to the office for a new patient consult, exam and xrays and we will reduce that fee for them to only $60. Regularly a $210 value. But remind them to tell us that its your happy birthday gift to them from us!

Referrals

Your referrals are our biggest compliment! It means that you are doing so well in our office, working on your health and feeling great that you want to pass on the love to others, your friends and family Dr. Parker not only wants to help you feel better, pain free, etc, he wants to FIX your problem. If you are a current patient, why not refer one of your friends to our office. We promise to be as nice to him/her as we are to you!!!!!

Some of our patients are what we call "regular referral patients". As regulars, they have referred not just ONE, but many new patients to our office. Jan has referred three or four of her friends AND her husband to our office. Lindsay has also referred three new patients as well as a very special "friend" of hers named Rico! Thanks Jan and Lindsay!

Then there are those patients whom we thank for trusting us in the care of their children. Mary Ellen, Margaret, Tracy, Tanya, Cara and Ann, just to name a few, have all either referred their sons/daughters to our clinic or brought them in along with them for their appts and Dr. Parker has been happy to take care of them and put them in our system as new patients. Children respond really well here.

Remember, your referral is our biggest compliment!!!
