Last month, I encouraged all of you to consider taking better care yourselves spiritually, mentally and physically. I asked you to consider that the source of true health came from the core value of respecting yourself i.e. esteeming yourself with reverence.
I received a number of e-mails from you who appreciated my perspective but also stated that you didn't know how to make the time to improve the care for yourselves. At the in -- office workshop last week, "How to Make the RIGHT Decisions -- Living Life without Regrets", this topic was openly
discussed and directly addressed.
The premise of the workshop was that all people need to live by the virtues, values and behaviors that are authentic for each person. When we live in high integrity with ourselves, we will make decisions that reveal who we really are. Decisions should be made from the "inside -- out" and not
based on what others say "outside" of ourselves. When we live this way, we trust ourselves and can then trust others.
How does this relate to taking better care of yourself? If you decide that the exceptional health of your mind/body/spirit is worth your attention and action, then you are responsible for developing the discipline to focus time management around the care for yourself. We all need to review how we allow
ourselves to be pulled away from our core needs by our work, family, friends and less important habits.
How is it that in times of crisis, we can exclude all of our daily routines to attend to our special-needs? When we decide to attend to our most important daily special needs through the rituals of exercising, eating well, meditating, walking, praying, visiting with health care practitioners, communing
with friends/family, etc. we will be living a self respecting lifestyle.
To help you decide to maintain your good health using chiropractic, we have created a special program for those patients who have gone through our corrective care treatment plans. To encourage and reward you for receiving chiropractic adjustments as part of your self care routine, we created the "Health
Maintenance Program" which allows our preventive/maintenance patients to receive treatments based on their needs:
1) Copper: 2 chiropractic adjustments -- $60 ($92 value)
2) Bronze: 2 chiropractic adjustments with physiotherapy -- $70 ($132 value) 3) Silver: 4 chiropractic adjustments -- $120 ($184 value)
4) Gold: 4 chiropractic adjustments with physiotherapy -- $140 ($264 value)
*for patients without insurance coverage and who pay at the time of service, chiropractic adjustments cost $46 ($60 value) and physiotherapy treatments cost $20 ($40 value). We are able to lower our fees when we are not involved with the overhead from billing insurance companies and filling out forms.
True,
Dr. Mark Schillinger, DC
PS -- For those of you who could not attend the "Decisions" workshop and want the information that was handed out, e-mail me at mark@markschillinger.com and I will send it to you. For the 21 patients/friends who attended: thank you for a fun filled
community experience!

Having deep, meaningful values and behaviors that reveal your values, is the best way to move through the ever changing landscape of our lives. My workshops, books and in our non-profit organization (WIHD), I emphasize a simple expression that helps me stay focused on my values and behaviors. I will refer to them in this section.
Honor what is RIGHT:
Respect = to esteem with reverence
Intelligence = applying your experience and intuition into wisdom
Gallantry/Grace = engaging in a heart full acts of courage or courtesy
Humor = amusement with celebration and laughter
True = living your life with integrity so that you can trust yourself and others EnRIGHTenment is enlightenment that is real and authentic for you. Discover for your self the daily rituals that you need to be healthy and happy. Chiropractic physicians recommend daily motion or exercise, spiritually and physically. The founder of chiropractic, DD Palmer, said that the number one source of illness is spiritual/emotional stress. He affirmed the need for each person to develop a positive mental attitude. I encourage you to do the things you know you need to do to feel fulfilled, rejuvenated and creative.
I encourage you not to live life alone. Ask for help when you need it and give help when you are able.
Q- What is the popping sound I hear when I receive my chiropractic adjustment?
A- The purpose of the adjustment is to restore nerve flow and has nothing to do with making a popping sound. The adjustment causes a release of pressure in the joint fluid, producing a pop or crack sound and has no relationship to the effectiveness of an adjustment.
Everything in your body is controlled by nerve flow which originates in your brain and spinal cord. By restoring normal nerve flow, your body can heal itself, resulting in healthier functioning of your organs, muscles and mind.
When you are free from nerve interference, your cells vibrate or resonate at their naturally healthy frequency, which produces the greatest amount of health with the smallest expenditure of energy.
You're literally "in tune" with yourself!
