    Bolingbrook Chiropractor admits he doesn’t heal anybody of anything

    Posted in: General

    dr jeff pictureBolingbrook Chiropractic office New Life Chiropractic has a Doctor in it that has to make a confession! 

    I Dr. Jeffrey GArofalo have never healed lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, digestive problems, ADD/Adhd insomnia, arthritis or anything else, yet patients by the droves are getting healthy of this stuff in our office! What, that doesn’t make sense? Of course it does when you understand how healing occurs. Ok right now you are sitting here reading this blog and you have one of these conditions, and you are thinking then why would I go to this chirorpactor. Just read on. Your body has the potential to work at 100% and when your body (muscles and organs) is working at 100% you don’t have lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, digestive problems, ADD/Adhd insomnia, arthritis and more because the body is in balance even the MD’s know this that a body in balance works and heals itself. When you break a bone the orthopedic puts the bones in alignment and then sends you home for your body to do the healing! The MD has nothing to do with it. The same premis holds true in my office, I find the parts of your spine that are pinching the healing mechanism out of the nerves, and then trace those nerves to organs and muscles letting youknow where those nerves go. Once we locate which nerve is being pinched and where that nerve goes to we perform a series of chirorpactic adjustments allowing the body to increase  its healing mechanism and wham!!! People in Droves in our office are getting healthy regardless of what the NAMED condition is.

    If you have any questions about chiropractic and  lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, digestive problems, ADD/Adhd insomnia, arthritis or anything else, please call Bolingbrook Chirorpractic Office NEw Life Chirorpractic and ask for DR. JEffrey Garofalo at 630-226-9922

    Bolingbrook Chiropractic Office talks about trauma associated with Lower Back surgery

    Posted in: General

    Wow, Doc I am going to go for minor Lower Back SURGERY! These are phrases that I have heard numerous times in my practice. Spinal Fusion, Laminectomy and discectomy are all types of surgeries done for the lower back pain. Spinal fusion is when the Spinal surgeon cuts a hole through your stomach moves your aorta out of the way and takes metal rods, or big screws and screws your spine together locking your spine in place preventing movement, sound good? Not if you are the one on the table and that happens to be the last surgery you ever have because you don’t wind coming out alive! Don’t believe me, well ask the New patient who came to my office yesterday and cancelled his because his daughter was the nurse in the room when that patient died on the table having that very simple procedure! Laminectomy, well that is when they go in through your back cut  a huge chunk ot your vertebrae out taking pressure off the disc! Don’t you think if you were created with the whole vertebrae you whould keep the whole vertebrae. Laminectomy surgery is like a forced Spina Bifida exposing your nerves and spinal cord to more trauma. And finally a Discectomy the least invasive if their is such a thing! they make a small hole in your back and scrape some of the disc away! Now if  I squeezed a jelly donut the jelly would come out am I right? If we took a spoon and scraped the jelly away from the hole it would look clean, but for how long until the jelly comes out again?That is the problem with a discectomy is that you are scraping the disc away but ot addressing the cause of teh disc bulge, or herniation. As a matter of fact that is the problem with all these surgeries, they never address the cause of lower backpain just the symptoms. AS a chiropractor correcting the casue of Lower Back Pain we adjust the spinal coumn very gently into alignment taking pressure off the disc and the nerve thereby correcting and fixing lower back pain without surgery.

    If you have any questions about Lower BackPain and Chiropractic please call Bolingbrook Chiropractic office at 630-226-9922

    Please join us For MOVIE night at the office tonight; We are showing anyone who wants to come for free the movie FOOD INC. an outstanding movie about the behind the scenes of the food industry. the movie starts at 7pm please be at our office at 6:30

    Bolingbrook Chiropractic Clinic New Life Chiropractic is an offfice which helps post sugery patients

    Posted in: General

    It is a known fact that 80% of all spinal surgeries fail! Wow Now what says, Dr Jeff,  the owner of Bolingbrook Chiropractic Clinic New Life Chiropractic. That is a big question for most people because they feel that they have exhausted every avenue for their back pain. This could not be further from the truth. If you have had back pain and surgery or neck pain and surgery can still see a chiropractor, says Bolingbrook chiropractor Dr Jeff. I handle cases all the time that have screws in their spine or have fusions of their vertebrae. Not all chiropractors will handle such cases, but I have alot of experience and use very gentle techniques when adjusting the spine called Thompson drop technique a very gentle non torquing technique to adjust the lower back and upper cervical techniques to adjust the neck with no twisting and very little force. At New Life Chiropractic, a Bolingbrook chiropractic clinic, we are confidant and help many post surgery back pain sufferers become pain free.

    If you have any questions for Dr. Jeff Garofalo the owner of New Life chiropractic, a bolingbrook chiropractic Clinic, please call us at 630-226-99922.

    Bolingbrook chiropractor speaks about chiropractic and carpal tunnel pain

    Posted in: General

    Do you have signs of carpal tunnel? Or do you have signs of a pinched nerve in your neck causing pain in your hand? Bolingbrook chiropractor Dr. Jeff Garofalo has seen many patient’s present with pain in their hands with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel that was not actually carpal tunnel that was diagnosed wrong by their family doctor. Some carpal tunnel patients seen by Bolingbrook chiropractor Dr.Jeff have even gone so far as to have surgery on their wrists for what they thought was carpal tunnel and actually had the pain come back! If you have hand pain, that does not necessarily mean you have carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel causes pain in only certain areas of your hand and limited to pain in only certain areas of your hand. If you have hand pain that is truly carpal tunnel you wil only have hand pain inyour thumb and fore finger and your palm no farther than your fore finger. If you have hand pain in your entire hand or you have pain in your arm and hand as a whole you probably have a pinched nerve in your neck causing the pain in your entire hand. Dr Jeff Garofalo of New Life Chiropractic in Bolingbrook says that 98% of his patients who comein with hand pain don’t have true carpal tunnel, they have a pinched nerve in their neck that goes away within a few weeks due to his chiropractic care!

    If you have  or think you may have carpal tunnel and want to know if it is the real deal or a pinched nerve inthe neck, call Bolingbrook Chiropractic Office at 630-226-9922 or go to www.drjeffchiro.com or www.bolingbrookchiropracticnl.com to learn more.

    Bolingbrook Chiropractor Dr. Jeff discusses the cause and corrections for Migraine Headaches

    Posted in: General

    Bolingbrook Chirorpactic office New Life Chirorpactic is a chiropractic office that has had alot of success with correcting the cause of migraines. Dr. Jeff States that, ” A migraine headache is a symptom which has a cause and I find that there are two causes of the headaches. Migraines are caused by a cervical spine that is less than a normal 40 degree c shaped curve. When the neck loses the 40 degree curve the head moves foward into Foward Head posture making the head extremely heavy for the neck muscles, and ligaments to hold the head back stretching them creating pain in the head called migraines. The second cause of migraines is a bone out of place in the neck putting pressure on the nerves to head causing migraines. A chiropractor through a chiropractic adjustment health restore the normal curve and puts the bones in place taking pressure off the nerves helping correct the cause of migraines.” Bolingbrrok chiropractic office gets great results with migraines. If you have any questions about chiropractic and migraines call Bolingbrook chiropractor Dr. Jeff at 630-226-9922

Speaking at the seminar was another amazing whiplash expert ,a Sacramento personal injury attorney Travis Black who runs Travis Black & Associates law firm www.TravisBlacklaw.com . Dr. Jeri from Capital Chiropractic and Travis Black from Travis Black & Associates are such caring people and really taught me how to understand what the patient is going thru from a clinical and law perspective. Both taught me to get the very best testing done and help the patient find a caring attorney who isn’t willing to jeopardize the health of the patient just for the money. Travis Black a Sacramento personal injury attorney was so knowledgeable about spinal injuries, head traumas and was very passionate about making sure he really gets to know his clients before accaepting their case. Dr. Jeri Anderson from Capitol chiropractic taught us that the most harmful injuries to your body occur in a car accident between the speeds of 6-12mph! The weekend was also filled with chiropractic adjustments to help our spines stay healthy. I recieved some of the best adjustments this weekend from some chiropractors like Dr. Kathy Mcauliffe a chiropractor from Columbia Illinois www.mcauliffechiropractic.com, and Dr. Schofield of Phoenix Arizona and www.mochihchu.com, and of course I wasn’t going to go to see the expert in whiplash and not get an awesome adjustment by Dr. Jeri Anderson of Capital chiropractic and www.whiplashrecovery.com

    Mesothelioma and Chiropractic Care posted by Bolingbrook Chiropractor Dr. Jeff

    Posted in: General

    Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused primarily by exposure to asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was used in construction throughout the 20th century because of its durability and resistance to fire. This type of cancer develops in the mesothelial cells that make up the lining of the lungs, heart and abdomen. Mesothelioma is often diagnosed in later stages because the symptoms can take 20 to 50 years after exposure to become noticeable. As a result, treatment options are typically limited and less effective.

    Cancer patients may sometimes choose to visit a chiropractor as part of their mesothelioma treatment regimen in order to help control pain and relieve headaches, tension and stress. The American Chiropractic Association states that chiropractic doctors “have a deep respect for the human body’s ability to heal itself without the use of surgery or medication. These doctors devote careful attention to the biomechanics, structure and function of the spine, its effects on the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and the role played by the proper function of these systems in the preservation and restoration of health. A doctor of chiropractic is one who is involved in the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the promotion of public health, and a wellness approach to patient healthcare.”

    The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published two studies that examined the cases of patients fighting cancer. A 57-year-old man diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer experienced considerable pain relief and was able to lessen the amount of medication needed following chiropractic care. He also reported an increase in his quality of life after visiting a chiropractor.

    A 54-year-old man diagnosed with lung cancer (a cancer often related to asbestos exposure) underwent surgery to combat his cancer and began seeing a chiropractor a year later because he was unable to effectively relieve the pain through conventional means. The man experienced pain relief immediately after beginning chiropractic care and ceased using all of his pain medications after two visits to his chiropractor. The Journal noted, “These clinical examples offer two specific instances of how chiropractic may improve the quality of a cancer patient’s life.”

    The body Heals itself says Bolingbrook Chirporactor Dr. Jeff

    Posted in: General

    The principle of chiropractic states that the body can heal itself and needs nothing added just no interference! Well, an easy example of this is when you have gotten a cut. Your body does the healing not the band aid! Your body knows exactly how much clotting factors to add, how much white blood cell to add and exactly how to close the cut up and seal like new! The orthopedist even know this principle when you arrive with a broken bone. The doctor puts the bones IN ALIGNMENT(just like spinal alignment) then cast, send you home and tell you to come back in 8 weeks. They know they aren’t going to heal it that your body will heal it. What they do know is that they need to set the bones in alignment for the body to heal it properly. That is the principle of chiropractic. If one or several of your spinal bones are out of alignment than they will compress a spinal nerve blocking your body’s ability to heal itself from the inside. When a chiropractor locates that misalignment called a subluxation, the body’s ability to heal itself increases and over time your health problem heals. That is the principle of adding nothing just no intererence.

    Diet versus Lifestyle modification: Bolingbrook Chiropractor dicusses the differences

    Posted in: General

    There are many diet and diet fads out in the world today. I have had many patients come into my office and say they are on the Atkins, the South beach, the Maker’s diet any many more. These patients usually wind up losing weight for an extended period of time and then within weeks or months gain all their weight back! They were all excited and then something changed in their routine and they fell off the wagon. They gain the weight back never to lose it again! In my opinion dieting is not the answer to long term weight loss because diets are a form of deprivation and human beings cannot live with deprivation. I have researched many diets and have come to the conclusion that lifestyle modifications work best for losing weight and long lasting health. The best suggestion as far as eating habits I have ever come across is the 5 day 2 day rule which is what we practice in my household. From Sunday afternoon till Friday lunch we eat very healthy to give us the energy and fuel we need to burn during the week. From Friday dinner till Sunday breakfast we eat whatever we want. This means that if we wanted to eat cake all day we can because we have eaten extremely healthy during our 5 days. Eating healthy for 5 days allows us to not feel guilty during our 2 days of eating whatever it is we want. There never is falling off the wagon because there is no deprivation eating like that. Next week I will tell you what size plate and what should be on your plate.
