Dr. Tony Asks some important questions of interest to Denver residents - Chiropractor Denver Dr. Tony Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Denver office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.

Wellness Topics The Value of Continuing Education

Ever think about enrolling in a course at a local college just for the sheer joy of learning something new? There is something to be said for one’s personal pursuit for knowledge, with no other motivation than just to tickle your brain cells and expand your mind. But it often takes some doing to convince some people to enroll in a non-credit course just for the fun of learning.

Take a course of study for the fun of it!

These days, most people are acutely aware of the benefits of a college education. Careers, life choices, income – all depend on formal preparedness for a competitive national and global workforce. But what happens after formal college learning is done? Is your post-college education limited to television and radio and in newspapers, stimulating conversation with peers, career trade journals, or reading the latest non-fiction masterpiece? Or is there something more?

A local community college may offer courses that can broaden your horizons and expand your personal awareness, such as:

  • Digital Photography Basics
  • Decorate (Or Dress) For Success
  • Pet First Aid
  • Learn to Draw Basics
  • Become a Human Lie Detector
  • Introduction Sign Language
  • Activate Your Ability to Become a Healer
  • How to Rollerblade

And the list goes on and on. The point is to identify something you’re interested in learning more about and go out and do it! To learn something new, you have to get up off the couch, and who knows, you may meet like-minded people and make new friends! Sounds like a win-win situation all around – for you and your brain!
