Relief for headaches

Dr. Steve Kraft — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:07:52 +0000

Headaches happen to everyone at one point in there life, but when they become a regular occurrence a problem may exist. We have found that many headaches stem from a subluxation in the cervical spine. Once this is corrected, a lot of unnecessary suffering can be relieved. This is a great alternative to taking over the counter medications which only mask the problem. Safe, natural Chiropractic never seeks to treat the symptoms, but to remove the cause. Until next time!

Get back on track

History is filled with stories of people who have made a decision to change the way they are doing things. Isn’t life great. It is never too late to turn your back on the past and look forward to a brighter future. Yes, sometimes this is easier said than done, but it can be accomplished. This is the time of the year when everyone talks about a new years resolution. Most of these only last the month of January. I’m not talking about changing just because it is 2012. Forget about what day or year it is and look at life from an eternal perspective. As a Christian, I think God that He has given me a second chance (over, and over, and over again.) God’s grace is a beautiful thing. The neat thing is that every time we fall, He is helping us to get back up. The great parallel that I am drawing is that every time we mess up in our health decisions, we can make the choice to pick up the pieces and get right back on track. There is not one person on the planet that hasn’t gotten off track. There is only one who is perfect and it isn’t me. You may have been off track for years or only days. Make today the day that you get up and get back on track doing the things that will help make you healthier and happier for 2012 and beyond!

Tickling the senses.

I was at Caribou Coffee the other day marketing my services to the public. All drinks under $4 were on Dr. Kraft. To my amazement, I didn’t buy many drinks. The average drink sale on a weekday was $5.50 and $7.00 on the weekends. Amazing! What did I conclude from this? Everyone likes there senses tickled. Whether it be smell, taste, sight, auditory, or touch. Instant gratification is at the top when it comes to our senses. This is high on the value list of most Americans. I came to understand that the commodity that I give the public is not tangible and it is not instant. It is kind of like saving 10% of your income. We endure the pain temporarily in the present for a future benefit that is high on the value list (ease of living). Chiropractic care is similar. We value the care we have today knowing that showing up in the future with a healthy body is the reward. There is no instant gratification. The reward comes later, but it is worth the investment that we make today! If you value your future health, Chiropractic is perfect for you. Have a great, healthy day!

Maintenance Chiropractic. Why?

Dr. Steve Kraft — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:31:20 +0000

I talked to a couple of past practice members today to see how they were doing. The answer was, “Fine, I’ll call for an adjustment when I need it.” My question is why would you wait until you need it. It’s like saying I’ll get my cars oil changed when it needs it. No one would consider that. Aren’t are bodies much more important than a car? Subluxations in the spine can occur at any time and can be completely without pain or symptoms. Do you have stress in your life. If you are human, you do. Stress causes spinal subluxations to occur. Understand that subluxations in the spine snow ball over time and go through phases which will eventually have devastating effects on your health. Moral of the story. Don’t wait until you have to. Keep your spine free from subluxation and live life to the fullest. Happy and healthy! Until next time.

Is your family worth it?

Subluxations of the spine create nerve stress which effects the bodies ability to adapt and heal at 100%. In the beginning stages, subluxations are silent. They can begin as early as birth and can increase throughout life as a result of repeated stress. They can put the body in a state of dis-ease which if not corrected leads to full blown disease. When corrected the body adapts and heals at 100% potential. When left alone for years they cause decay in the spine which cannot be reversed. Knowing all of these facts about subluxation would make anybody want to make sure that they were free of them and living full of life. I will never understand why knowledgeable people get this drug- less health care for themselves and leave there loved ones at home. The subluxation is coined “The Silent Killer”. Have your entire family checked for subluxations today. They deserve to have bodies that are functioning at their best. Until next time.

I sound like a repeating tape recorder. Just press play. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about the healing capacity of the human body. I make sure of three things. 1. Is it fed proper nutrition. 2. Is it active and moving. 3. Is the spine and nervous system free from interference. 4. Are all toxic thought process removed. It may take time or it may not, but results are high when we do the above and give the body the chance it needs to do what it was designed to do. If a patient is frustrated, I just tell them to hang in there. Healing takes time, especially when the problem has been there for a length of time. Thank God for the wonderful bodies that He has blessed us with. He is truly marvelous! Until next time!

The Pro Adjuster – A Breakthrough in Healing

Dr. Steve Kraft — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:10:09 +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 Pro Adjuster.

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 Pro Adjuster equipment to analyze and treat your nervous system.

Dr. Kraft comments: The pro adjuster has become a part of my analysis and adjusting technique since 2005. I can say that we get phenomenal results with all kinds of musculoskeletal and health problems. We are using technology to remove the guessing factor. It has allowed us to be extremely specific when adjusting the spine. This gives us more long lasting results instead of short term relief. Call us if you are interested in a screening with the pro adjuster. Until next time.

Toxic lifestyle

Dr. Steve Kraft — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:38:36 +0000

I did a study this weekend on how we get dehydrated. I mean, we drink plenty of water. Why is my body showing signs of dehydration. I am not going to get into a big scientific explanation of why. Shooting it straight is always the best. Any time our body has to work harder to detoxify it must eliminate at a greater pace. The harder our organs of elimination have to work to rid the body of toxins, we lose water at greater rates. This is lost through the bowels, urinary tract, breath and skin. Now let’s say that these organs are working so hard that they begin to burn out. The body becomes more toxic and even more dehydrated. The wellness lifestyle is about eating well, thinking well, and moving well. Any toxic food, thought, or movement will contribute to blockages in the energy pathway of the body leading to dis-ease. If left alone it will eventually lead to full blown disease. Chiropractic has been founded on the science, philosophy and art of things natural. Start today and make a decision to live this life. You will be glad you did. Until next time.

Natural Law

Dr. Steve Kraft — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:56:09 +0000

Eat well. Move well. Think well. That about sums it up. Good decisions in all three of these areas during your life will determine health or sickness. All three are needed. One of these will not cut it. If you eat like an Olympic athlete but live a sedentary life you know what the outcome will be. If you exercise every day and eat potato chips eventually you start to look like a potato chip. Also, think well. I believe that we are spirit beings that live in a body and have a soul. The notion that you are what you think goes a long way. The life that we are living is greatly affected by our thought life. So, stop filling your mind with junk from TV, movies and negativity that goes into your mind and feeds your soul. Dwell on things that are good and that will be what you get. I do daily affirmations that I created and also some that come from the Bible (a really good book!). The creator really knows what He is talking about. Lastly, I believe that Chiropractic fits perfectly into a wellness lifestyle. Your nervous system controls and regulates every function in your body. Why not keep it healthy?
