Is the Detox 360°™ Program Right For You?

Is the Detox 360°™ Program Right For You?

We’re inundated everyday with fad diets and the latest and greatest health claims to help you lose weight or avoid getting cancer. The scare tactics and claims are overwhelming, and it’s hard to know exactly what to do to even maintain health. The idea of cleansing or detoxing is very popular, and I must admit that I was even skeptical of Detox 360°™ when I was first introduced a few  years ago. Let me explain why I stand by this amazingly powerful cleanse and why I encourage you to do your research and see if this is the right cleanse program […]

Autism Awareness: How We Can Help

Autism Awareness: How We Can Help

In light of Autism Awareness Day, we’d like to highlight this very complex condition that is found in one out of every 68 children. Though the cause of autism is unknown, the practice of functional neurology is helping individuals on the Autism Spectrum everyday. Functional neurology is based on the premise of neuroplasticity, the nervous system’s ability to grow and change with the proper stimulation.  Autism Spectrum Disorders are characterized by accelerated left hemisphere development and an under-performing right hemisphere. This causes the individual to be very uneven in cognitive abilities, such as high verbal skills, but low scores on intelligence tests. Diagnostic […]

Being Heart Healthy Starts With Your Brain

There is a good reason why February is American Heart Month. Heart disease continues to be the number one cause of death, and Valentine’s Day lands right in the middle of the month. Combine those two and we have the perfect recipe for increasing heart health awareness this month. Heart disease is the cause of 25% of the deaths in America. 715,000 Americans will be diagnosed with heart disease each year, and 600,000 of us will die from heart attack. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular disease cost the United States […]

Why Your Body Needs Magnesium

Do you suffer from muscle spasms, cramps, weakness, chronic pain, poor sleep, heart palpitations or are constantly getting sick? These are all symptoms of being magnesium-deficient. Consuming a diet rich in magnesium could help minimize symptoms and keep you feeling your best. There are six “macro-minerals” that the human body needs in large amounts to function normally, and magnesium is one of them. It is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions.  All major organs need it to function normally, and the average American diet does not contain even 50% of […]

Chronic Disease Linked to High Levels of Stress

In conjunction with my colleague, Dr. Matthew Antonucci, I had the opportunity to publish several articles for the Charleston edition of Health & Wellness Magazine that illuminate various aspects of functional neurology. One of these articles, shown below, discusses how the body responds to stress and the position that one’s autonomic nervous system takes as it categorizes stressful situations. Stress negatively affects all aspects of life and exacerbates most conditions based on your body’s inappropriate responses to it. Diseases such as diabetes, OCD, depression, obesity, and even cancer have been linked to stress. Functional neurology focuses on the “connectivity” of […]

What High Heels Really Do To Your Body

It’s no secret that wearing high heels day in and day out can put a toll on your body. This infographic outlines the often dramatic effects of high heel wearing, probably making the ladies cringe. From a spinal aspect, heels cause an increase in the low back curve (lordosis). This increases the amount of stress on vertebrae and discs and can amplify any pre existing conditions in that area. We can help our heel-wearing patients at Crevar Chiropractic with feet subluxations by adjusting the bones of the feet and re-aligning them. Creating movement in the feet allows for pain relief and […]
