Dr. Stanczak Asks some important questions of interest to Roseville residents - Chiropractor Roseville Dr. Stanczak Asks...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Roseville parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.

Supplementation

The foods we eat today are quite different from the foods our grandparents ate.

It’s true that technology and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have improved the productivity of today’s farms. But it has done so at the expense of reducing the vitality and nutritional content of the food we eat.

Most of us, even if we’re careful about what we eat, just aren’t getting the complete nutrition we need. That’s why it’s crucial we augment our diets with high-quality supplementation.

Three areas should be considered:

Most of us would be wise to supplement our diets.

Vitamins - An organic molecule absorbed through the intestinal tract, which in trace amounts, are essential for optimum health. For example, Vitamin A, C and E.

Minerals - Dietary minerals are elemental building blocks necessary for optimum health. Deficiencies are often the result of foods that are grown in mineral depleted soil.

Essential Fatty Acids - The body cannot synthesize these fats. If our diet is deficient in the food sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, then supplementation is important.

Do you suspect your diet may be compromising your health? Discuss your concern with Dr. Stanczak so an appropriate program of supplementation can be designed for you.
