Why Choose Practitioner Only Products?

WHY CHOOSE PRACTITIONER ONLY PRODUCTS?

There are countless ranges of nutritional supplements on the market that can be purchased without a consultation. So how are you to know which supplements will work for you and your specific needs? Not all supplements are created equally and only a qualified practitioner can assess your true needs. A health care professional (Nutritionist, Chiropractor or Naturopath) will ensure that you are getting nutritional supplements that meet your individual health requirements and their recommendations are based on a clinical assessment.

It is essential to find a practitioner that you feel really comfortable with and trust implicitly with your health. Once you find this practitioner, it is best to stick with them and to have regular checkups, even when you don’t feel sick.This will ensure that your practitioner can help you to maintain your health and vitality and prevent any hiccups that may occur with your health. Regular check ups also ensure that your nutritional supplements can be altered according to your body’s changing needs. Choose a health care practitioner who is a member of a professional accredited association. Practitioners have spent years studying the biochemical intricacies of the body and the many aspects of health and illness.

We all know that as individuals, we are different in so many ways. This means while one treatment may work for one person, it may not work as well for another. Many nutritional supplements fit an enormous number of nutrients into one product in low doses. Certain nutrients work synergistically in the body, however, depending upon our individual biochemistry and our specific health situation, we may require a lot more of one nutrient than another. This is why at LCW we prescribe for people in an individual way using therapeutic doses of nutritents in the right combination, to ensure your optimal health and wellbeing.

We predominantly use Dr Vera’s and Orthoplex products at LCW. Unlike other products on the market, Dr Vera’s products are free of extra (potentially allergenic) inactive ingredients. These ingredients are often included in other supplements available off the shelf to assist the manufacturing process, but they may not be appropriate for people with sensitivities. For example derivatives of wheat and corn may be used, which often cause irritations or allergies. Lactose may even be used in medications and also some herbal preparations, which can be a problem for those who are lactose intolerant.

The Dr Vera’s range uses amino acids and silica, which are pure substances and are proven to be hypoallergenic. So this unique range is suitable for those people who are extremely sensitive and reactive. In addition, the Dr Vera’s range use capsules, which reduces the amount of extra ingredients required for processing. This makes the range free from artificial colours, preservatives or other additives and by using only vegetable based capsules, they are also suitable for vegetarians.

CHIROFLOW WATERBASED PILLOWS NOW AVAILABLE AT LCW

Body language expert Allan Pease told an audience at a Synaptic Design events that the Chiroflow pillow helped him sleep through the night for the first time in 54 years. He was so impressed with the Chiroflow Pillow that he rang up our office the following week and ordered 24 for his family and friends.

After the event he said, “…this pillow has got to be the best gift in the world. How many people don’t get a decent night’s sleep and how many people don’t get a decent present at Christmas?”

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR CHILDREN IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE

A ground breaking study by The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) was published this month in the prestigious Journal of Science and Healing. The objective of this study was to describe the practice of pediatric chiropractic, including its safety and effectiveness. The results of the study determined that the primary reason for parents seeking chiropractic care for their children was wellness care. The most common reasons for parents seeking symptom relief were muscle conditions, ear, nose, throat, respiratory and digestive disorders. Out of 577 children, doctors reported only 3 adverse events. Out of 239 children, parents reported only two adverse events. These events were minor discomfort after the adjustment and were readily resolved with continued adjustments. All children remained under chiropractic care. Both parents and doctors indicated a high rate of improvement with respect to the children’s presenting complaints. In addition to these improvements, respondents reported better sleeping patterns, improvements in behavior and improved immune system function while under chiropractic care.

Glebe local family chiropractor, Shalom Drimer, said ‘It is wonderful to see research substantiating the safety of chiropractic care for children and the overwhelming satisfaction of parents who bring their children for care’. Some of the benefits of chiropractic for children include helping a range of childhood conditions such as colic, asthma and ear infections. It can also assist children to reach their full potential by helping to improve their coordination, strength and flexibility and by stimulating their brain activity and development.
