THE BEST HEALTH CARE AVAILABLE


Hi Everyone, Dr. Norris here.

Just like auto mechanics, politicians and lawyers… some are better than others.  Sometimes we have to learn the hard way… by trial and error.  Medical doctors and chiropractors are the same.  There are some very good health-care professionals here in the Antelope Valley and unfortunately there are some bad ones.  With that said I have a question for you.

If you could afford the best health care available whom and what would you choose? 

From practical experience I can tell you that the most expensive and the most popular may not always be the best.  Otherwise the New York Yankees would win the World Series every year.  They have won 27 times, but not every year.

If we look at those people for whom money is not an issue… chiropractic health care is often the choice.  Professional athletes, actors and celebrities can afford any kind of care, but statistics show they choose chiropractic.  Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith and Cal Ripken all see their doctors for regular chiropractic treatments.  They have commented that it prolonged their careers. NBA superstar Kobe Bryant said “I think chiropractic adjustments have helped me get through the long basketball season without a lot of injuries.”

Approximately 31% of NFL teams have a chiropractor on staff and 39% of all Division I athletes said they use chiropractic either to get into top shape or to stay there. Many say chiropractic helps them to get into top physical shape without the use of drugs. Sean Atkins, PhD, Exercise Physiologist stated "I would estimate that in excess of 90% of all world-class athletes use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and to increase their performance potential."

The television show Dancing With The Stars has a doctor of Chiropractic on staff for the performers.  The Professional Golf Association, the U.S. Olympic Association and the Professional Rodeo Circuit have chiropractors on staff.

In 1984 I was working with the Olympic water polo team when I meet Terry Schroeder the team captain of the silver medal team.  He was so impressed by the profession that he became a chiropractor and now practices in Calabasas, CA.

Other chiropractic regulars include Warren Beatty, James Earl Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews, Jane Seymour, and Mel Gibson.

Kevin Jonas, Sr.- Manager of Jonas Brothers states... "Chiropractic care promotes a healthy body, mind and lifestyle. I have found, with regular chiropractic care, our family stays healthier and sleeps better. We are more relaxed and stress is easily overcome."

No one would claim celebrities have all the answers. However, it would seem that with all the options celebrity affords them, the fact they seek chiropractic care to meet their health-care needs says something about the value of chiropractic for optimum health!

I am very honored that you have choose me as your chiropractor of choice.
I promise to provide you the best health care available.  I hope to see you soon.

P.S.- Sorry Red Sox fans… even the New York Yankees have a chiropractor on their staff.

Pain as your health guide?
“Only 10% of our nervous system perceives pain.”  The rest of your nervous system is busy monitoring, controlling and communicating, back and forth from your brain to your body.  So how do you know if it is functioning properly?  Chiropractic enhances proper spinal motion and proper spinal motion can help maximize nervous system function.  Grays Anatomy

Hi there… again!

Hi Everyone, Dr. Norris here.

I hope you are having a great summer.  It ends officially September 23rd.  So do something fun.

We have been making some changes at Norris Chiropractic.  This newsletter is new.  I will be sending it out to all of you each month.  It is shorter but will be filled with information about my office, your health and healthcare in general.  If you no longer want to receive this newsletter you can use the opt-out option contained in this email.  The newsletter will not be snail-mailed through the post office unless you specifically ask for it.  This saves us a considerable expense… and that helps us keep our fees low.  If you check around the Antelope Valley you will find that Norris Chiropractic has the lowest fees for chiropractic care without cutting back our services.

We also have a new website.   
Check it out at: drnorrischiro.com
This newsletter and a blog will be available at the site.  
Please don’t laugh at my picture... I was born this way.   

I would like to thank David Kraemer at DK designs for his help in setting up the site.  David is a patient of mine and he does great work.  If you need website help let me know, I can give you a referral.

I would like to welcome my daughter Amanda to Norris Chiropractic.  She is working three days a week helping me with this newsletter and keeping me out of trouble.

We have some more changes coming.  I will keep you updated.

As always we will be here every week for appointments if you need our services.

“Because you don’t have time for pain!”

To your health,
Dr. Michael Norris

HEALTH UPDATE

Do those funny looking toning shoes really help?
Can a pair of shoes help burn more calories, tone your bottom and easy joint pain?  These shoes have an unstable, strongly curved sole.  Walking in them is like exercising on a balance or wobble board at the gym.  Advocates say the instability forces you to use muscles you otherwise would not use (namely those in your feet, legs, rear-end and abs), possibly resulting in weight loss.  The shoes can also change posture and gait taking pressure off of achy, overused joints.
