Cafe of Life Chiropractic - Scott Lloyd

this is what to do with a lacrosse ball or golf ball:

Do it a little different than the video. Just like the video span the whole area of the forearm muscles, however, focus on the 'trigger points' (knots/really sore areas) and roll on them back and forth an inch in each direction, and apply a decent amount of pressure. Also, when you find a good spot that is knotted and sore, hold the pressure without rolling and go through ranges of motion with your wrist/hand.... do the whole forearm (all muscles front and back)

Thanks Gregory, great write up, nice to do the POJ interview with you

Scott Lloyd: “When I was 20, I was at a point in my life where I knew I wanted to help people. I was thinking about maybe medical school, or physical therapy, or sports nutrition. I was also considering counseling, teaching or coaching. I was all over the place.

“A guy that I was surfing with had just graduated from chiropractic school, and he told me that all of those things I was interested in, I could do as a chiropractor. ‘You are more health and lifestyle minded, and chiropractic has all of those components,’ he told me. He had begun adjusting me that summer, and that fall was the first time since I was a small boy that seasonal allergies didn’t affect me. So I was getting really interested in chiropractic.

“Around the same time, I met this 92-year-old man, who used to be a chiropractor. When he shook my hand, the grip was incredible, and he was so alert. He was a picture of health. I thought to myself, ‘This is how healthy I want to be when I am in my 90’s.’ And I wanted to help other people achieve the same. Soon after I went to Portland, Oregon to chiropractic school. That 92 year old man inspired me without even knowing it.

“When I graduated from chiropractic school, I was 26, and I was thinking about buying a practice on the Oregon coast, and I had an opportunity to do so. But I realized that the Jersey Shore is my home. Brick is where my heart is, where my friends and family all are, and I love the ocean. So in 2008 I opened Cafe of Life, got married to Jacque, she got pregnant soon after, then we bought a house. It was all so fast, but it was so great.

“It is such a great feeling when people tell me how much I have helped them. People know that chiropractors help with skeletal-muscular problems, and that is very true, but what most people don’t realize is that there has alway been a theory in chiropractic practice that when you get adjusted, it will also affect the nervous system, which has positive effects on the body. Lately the theories are starting to come to light with scientific evidence. Allergies can clear up, organs can function better. Most people don’t realize the connection between getting adjusted and what that does for overall health.

“I adjust this one woman who has a son in her 20’s. When he was only four years old he was taking 5 medications for asthma and allergies. He got about 30 adjustments in a six month period. In that six months he went from five medications to two. Within two years he was completely off of them. His mom knew the adjustments helped. When he started getting adjusted, his allergies were getting progressively worse. It was only after he started to get adjusted that his allergies started getting better. I can’t say that will happen for everyone, but I suggest to people to get adjusted for a few months, and see if it helps.

“The reason this place is called Cafe of Life is because beyond adjustments, I help people learn how to improve their well being. You can come here, get adjusted, and get your nutrition and exercise education. My passion is helping people have an overall better quality of life, and I am so happy I have been able to help so many people get healthier.

Low Back Pain: Should We Recommend Chiropractic Care? A study looked at adding spinal manipulation and other chiropractic care to the overall management of low back pain.

Damage. Perhaps short term relief, but damage is no good. Injections into joints are problematic. "Corticosteroid injections for knee osteoarthritis increased cartilage loss over the course of 2 years without providing any clinical benefit."

Comparison of Intra-articular Triamcinolone vs Saline for Knee Osteoarthritis This randomized trial compares the effects of intra-articular triamcinolone vs saline injected every 3 months for 2 years on changes in cartilage volume and pain in older adult patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Including Regular Chiropractic Care in Your Health Management Plan Appears to Have Significant Benefits and Results in a Higher Quality of Life. WebMD says, “chiropractic care is considered a safe, effective treatment for acute low back pain, neck pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia.” A large literature review from the UK published in 2010 (The Bronfort Report) reported

Recurring Low Back Pain? Maintenance care from chiropractors was shown to help, aka, decrease disability recurrence. This groundbreaking study found chiropractic care significantly better than care provided by physicians and/or physical therapists for low back pain. Along with the Senna and Machaly study results, this represents a very solid case that maintenance chiropractic care recommendations are evidence-based. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21407100

"In November, a team led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital pooled data from tens of thousands of people...They found that simple, moderate lifestyle changes dramatically reduced the risk of heart disease, the most prolific killer in the country, responsible for one in every four deaths. People deemed at high familial risk of heart disease cut their risk in half if they satisfied three of the following four criteria: didn’t smoke (even if they smoked in the past); weren’t obese (although they could be overweight); exercised once a week; ate more real food and less processed food. Fitting even two of those categories still substantially decreased risk." from previously posted propublica article http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1605086 =article
