Episode 009: Acupuncture & Dry Needling – A New Drug-free Way to Poke Your Pain Away

by

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and has seen many, many, many successes.  A newer method of treating pain and musculoskeletal conditions called dry needling looks like it is a version of acupuncture.  But actually the two are quite different.  Each has its own place and can be very helpful but it can be confusing what is good for what.  Today, Dr. Nedd will cover:

  • What acupuncture is, when and where it came from, and the basic principles behind how it works.
  • The differences between acupuncture and acupressure and what each is good for.
  • What kinds of conditions has the Dr seen improve when acupuncture is used to balance the body’s energy channels.
  • What is dry needling, how does it differ from acupuncture and what is it good for.

Episode 008: Sugar Blues – The Cane Mutiny

by

Sugar is harmless, right?  If it wasn’t, why would we be giving candy to babies?  Find out the real story behind the dark past of sugar and the facts about the various forms of sugars.  Which ones have some value and which ones are worse for your body than eating nothing.  No one’s saying that you should never enjoy something sweet.  But if you value your health you’ll at least want to be informed about sugar so you can make decisions based on the facts, not just cravings.  Today, Dr. Nedd will cover:

  • The link between sugar, heroin and slavery.
  • What are all the forms of sugar from raw to refined and all the ones in between.
  • What can you do to avoid the blood sugar roller-coaster when you do have sugar.
  • What alternatives to sugar are the best ones to use.

Episode 007: What is Gentle Chiropractic Technique?

by

Chiropractic is a very effective method of treating a variety of conditions, especially spinal problems and symptoms that come from them such as back pain and headaches.  But some people either are afraid of getting a Chiropractic adjustment or are in a category where they should have much force at all used on their spine.  Such as people with osteoporosis or young children.  But there are gentle Chiropractic techniques that are effective and can be used for most of those people.  The one that has the most scientific research supporting it is Activator Methods technique which has been around for more than 50 years.  Today, Dr. Nedd will cover:

  • Why the Activator Methods technique was developed.
  • Why the Activator adjustment can get the same results as a manual adjustment, but with much less force.
  • How the results are not just backed up by what doctors and patients say but by clinical research.
  • Who the Activator Methods technique is especially good for.
  • Why this was the only adjusting technique our mother allowed to be used on her for the last 20 years of her life.

Episode 001: Why Would Anyone Choose to Become a Chiropractor?

by

It might occur to you that becoming a Chiropractor instead of a Medical Doctor is a more challenging career path.  Medical Doctor’s have powerful associations and institutes and centers and hospitals all telling you that these are the ‘real doctors’.  That science and research backs up what they do.  That other approaches like Chiropractic, vitamin supplements, acupuncture, etc. aren’t ‘proven’, are ‘experimental’.  Huge amounts of money flow through the medical establishment including money paid to doctors by pharmaceutical companies to prescribe their drugs and billions from insurance companies for treatments and procedures that have sometimes have ridiculously low rates or success or even cause further health problems.  So yes, it can be easier and more lucrative to be a conventional, medical doctor.

Then why would any want to become a Chiropractor?  In this Episode, Dr. Stephen Nedd shares his personal reasons why he made that choice and:

  • Which event, almost devastating to him in his early life, helped him get subjective reality on Chiropractic results.
  • Which people were most influential on his choice to become a Chiropractor and why.
  • How he discovered he had a spinal curvature and what he was told to do about it (which actually fixed it).
  • The most important, overriding goal he has for each patient.
  • Why he uses certain techniques.
  • What is his overall philosophy as a doctor.
