Wheaton’s Best Chiropractor Helping Each Person Realize Their True Healing Potential

What happens when you get a cut? Your body knows exactly how to heal it, right? If you had a tourniquet, were taking blood thinners, had a bunch of dirt in it, and had a really weak immune system your body wouldn’t have a great chance to optimally heal, would it? If you take all those things that interfere with healing away and give the body it’s best chance it is always going to heal better than to leave all those things present that interfere with healing.

Dr. Myers became a chiropractor after seeing his sister struggling with past spinal trauma and eventually scoliosis. Dr. Myers states, “I remember the tears and frustration our family had and none of the doctors had any help or hope for her. The only answer they had was to wait until her spine got bad enough and then get rods and screws put in her spine. That was the last thing she or my parents wanted. It wasn’t until someone cared enough to refer her to a chiropractor that she finally got help, hope and eventually relief. I wanted to be a doctor of some kind and started out pursuing emergency medicine, but I changed course after seeing the amazing changes my sister got from her chiropractor. After seeing the changes in her life, soon our whole family was under chiropractic care, and they still are today. That is why I’m so passionate about giving other people hope and the best chiropractic has to offer, because I saw firsthand how it changed my family’s life.”

All the doctors at Wheaton Family Chiropractic haven’t stopped their education with just a degree from their Chiropractic school. They all continue to pursue their passion for discovering the most cutting-edge techniques in health and disease prevention.

Dr. Myers has taken his passion for spinal correction and biomechanics to get advanced certifications in several techniques but most proudly he is certified through the CLEAR INSTITUTE. He holds not only the CLEAR Scoliosis Standard Certification but also the Advanced Intensive Certification that allows our office to provide comprehensive, effective, and evidence-based approach to helping patients with all kinds of spinal disorders from Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Forward Head Posture, and all kinds of spinal abnormalities.

The ability to quantify and measure what we find is one of the most unique things that sets our office apart. We have Computerized Spinal Tests: Spinal Thermography and Surface EMG testing that gives us quantifiable findings to track not only where you start out but also to keep track of how your body continues to improve at regular intervals. This gives us a window inside your Nerve System to see how well you are healing. We also have one of the most comprehensive exams and digital x-rays onsite so we can not only see where the problem is, but we go one step further. We analyze every set of x-rays. We take with measurements to find exactly where your spine is at but more importantly so we can develop a customized treatment plan to help correct the structure of your specific spine and help you hold your adjustments longer. We are one of the few offices in the country that takes pre and post x-rays to show you the structural changes that are taking place. Bottom Line—You’ll see results.

We believe the chiropractic adjustment is one of the most amazing healing instruments available in health today, but we take it one step further. Every one of our patients is different and is adjusted differently. We always have your unique x-rays up during your adjustment and take into account what your body is telling us so we give you the best adjustment for your spine. Our adjustments are safe, effective, and corrective. But we don’t just stop there. We also use your initial x-rays to determine a customized set of rehab exercises to perform after every adjustment once patients are old enough. These exercises help to retrain your postural muscles and help you correct your spinal biomechanics and help you hold your adjustments longer. The structure of your spine is what determines the function of your health. If you just are getting adjusted without this important part of the rehab you’re missing a critical ingredient. The specific exercises and adjustments are how we can retake your x-rays and see life transforming changes in the structure of your spine. Every one of our patients who is old enough gets a customized set of exercises they can perform to help them hold their correction longer and help their body heal better from the inside out.

Our office is full of state-of-the-art equipment to help you in your spinal correction process. We have some of the most advanced equipment in spinal correction to help people in all ranges of need. We have multiple Vibration Platforms, Basic and Advanced Spinal Weighting, Scoliosis Tables and Chairs and much more.

We believe that the patients who get the best results in our office are the most educated. The word Doctor comes from the Latin word meaning: Teacher. We hold regular workshops to educate our community the most up to date research topics on health, nutrition, exercise and optimal function. We want to help you and your family avoid becoming another statistic like so many other Americans who never have been taught how to take care of the body they have been given. We want our patients to reach their true healing potential and then fulfill their purpose with all their energy and health intact so they can do it as best as possible and as long as possible.

Why would someone not address a problem right away?

• They don’t understand how serious this warning sign could be.
• They aren’t sure who to go to get it fixed.
• They are too busy and don’t take the time.
• They think they don’t have the money to get it fixed right now.

Unfortunately, while these all seem reasonable at the time when the problem gets worse most people look back with regret that they didn’t take action sooner.

When it comes to health there is a direct correlation between how long you are in good health and how your body reacts when you get sick. As a general rule, the longer someone is sick the longer the road is to get their health back. The longer someone maintains great health often times they are sick for shorter amounts of time because their general constitution is much stronger than that of a sick person. Most people don’t know the definition of health. Health has nothing to do with how you FEEL but everything to do with how you FUNCTION. What is it that controls all function in your body? It’s your Nerve System.

When you ignore the proper function of your body it can have long term consequences. Here are a few examples:

1. Chronic health conditions: ignored or undetected health conditions often turn into chronic conditions.  Chronic conditions like being overweight, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and/or heart disease will significantly affect your quality of life. It will cost you more in medical bills than if you avoided ever getting one of these diseases in the first place.
2. Reduced life expectancy: poor health will most likely increase your risk of premature death. By neglecting your health, you may be shortening your lifespan.
3. Increase medical cost: neglecting your health most often leads to more expensive medical treatments down the road. Most people with chronic health conditions end up on the medical merry-go-round. They keep seeing more and more doctors for all their health issues and they end up taking more and more medications that could add up to have serious side effects.
4. Missing the most important things in life: if you don’t feel well enough to enjoy your kids and family. You’ll never get those years back. Everyone works so hard at their jobs, anticipating enjoying their retirement someday, but most people don’t take care of their health enough along the way to enjoy their wealth and time once they retire. Life is way too short to miss out on the most important things by not having your health.
5. Decrease productivity: poor health can affect your work productivity, your focus, and your ability to work at your full potential which will have an impact on your finances either directly or indirectly. You may find yourself taking more sick days or struggling to focus on tasks because you don’t feel well.

Overall, it’s essential to address your health now to avoid bigger problems in the future. Neglecting your nerve system will have a direct impact on your health and your future. Every day you are either building health or disease. It’s important to prioritize your health and make sure you and your family can live your best life. We want to see you reaching your full potential in life and not let your poor health stop you from being all you were designed to be.
