One of the most common problems in dealing with headaches, migraine headaches, and tension headaches is understanding the stress that causes these headaches.  Stresses like emotional stress, physical stress and the most misunderstood, chemical stress create more tension in the muscles of the neck from the base fo the skull to the top of the shoulders.  It is very commom to find a loss of normal neck motions with patients that suffer with frequent headaches.  Muscles lose their flexibility which causes an even greater physical stress which continues to snowball to a chronic condition.

If you suffer with headaches, they are not normal.  You need to get in and get checked.

Sciatica is a common problem associated with low back pain and pain in the butt and back of the leg.  This condition is named for a pinching or compression of the sciatic nerve or a pinching of the nerves that come off of the spinal cord in the lower back particualrly the third, fourth and fifth lumbar nerves.

I have found being a chiropractor in Bay City that low back pain is one of the most common problems patient’s present with.  Low back pain can be caused by a loss of normal function, motion, strains, sprains, muscle imbalances, spasms and pinched nerves.  It usually is a combination of three components which is neuro (nerves), musculo (muscles) and skeletal (spine and pelvis).

Of course disc herniations are the most difficult to handle, but very rewarding when we have a patient recover from this condition.

hcg

How does hcg work?

hcg is taken orally, under the tongue to be rapidly absorbed which allows a person to subsist more on their stored fat than on what they eat.  It triggers the body to provide a constant flow of “food” received from the fat that your body is breaking down and using.  This  means that the fat is liquefied by the hcg, allowing it to be released into the blood stream.  One pound of body fat stores upwards of 2000 calories; once body fat is made fluid, nutrition can be released to the bloodstream, reducing hunger, and waste flushed from the system.  Calories provided on an even consistent level improves metabolism.

How long has hcg been used?

In the 1950’s Dr. A.T.W. Simeons began using small doses of  hcg in obese patients to decrease appetite and observed weight loss and decreased inches around hips,  thighs, buttocks and stomach.  It has continued to gain popularity as a successful, natural approach to weight loss.

We Understand You

We understand obesity, what causes it and how to help people lose weight rapidly without starving.

We understand the complications and health risks which develop from obesity.

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention more than one-third of U.S. adults—more than 72 million people—and 16 percent of U.S. children are obese!

What is hcg—Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin?

hcg is a natural hormone produced during pregnancy which has been used since the 1950’s for both men and women who have a slow or faulty metabolism achieve rapid weight loss.

hcg is what triggers the hypothalamus to mobilize stored fat into the bloodstream to be used as “food”.  It is believed to reset your metabolism and to protect your body’s good fat and keep muscle tissue from breaking down (which occurs in  other low other low-calorie diets without the use of  hcg).

• hcg triggers the body to provide a constant flow of food received from fat that your body is breaking down and using
• hcg along with a 500 calorie daily intake has produced up to 15-23 lbs.  weight loss in women and 20-45 lbs. in men
• hcg is not a sex hormone.  It works the same for men, women children, young and older people.
• hcg must be stored in a cool, dry place (refrigerator is recommended)
