Health tips from Dr. Ward | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90831http://chiroman.com/
--------------
The simple tips to improve your health is number one, to walk with your chin level, to sit with your chin level, and to sleep with your chin level. When reading it's important that you read at eye level as opposed to dropping in your head down. By reading at eye level, you're able to unlock the stress to your neck and upper back region. It's also important to recognize that we all push ourselves really hard in life. And when we push ourselves, what that means is that we don't recognize when we're tired in our body. And so many of us have learned to be mentally strong, and so when we are mentally strong, we say, "Oh, I have to do this and this and this," but our body says, "I'm tired."
So it's really important to learn to recognize our energy in our body and realize that we do not have to over-push that. The true growth in life is to learn balance, to learn how to operate in a healthier energy efficiency. So that brings up this point I think all people should ask is this question of themselves: How can I do this and save energy? It causes the mind to look for other ways to reduce the energy outlay. And that is so vital to save energy, to not deplete energy. And the more energy we save means we don't have to pull from the stored energy sources. And so, all of a sudden we have an abundance of energy.
The other issue that is a tip for bringing health into your life is to learn to love yourself, to learn to validate yourself, to learn to encourage yourself, to learn to give yourself approval instead of looking outside of yourself for these things. Step up and give these things to self each and every day so you might start out by taking a bath in the morning, and when you do that, you might say, well, as you wash your feet, "I love my feet", you're washing your ankles, "I love my ankles", you come to your knees, "I love my knees", "I love my legs", "I love my hips", "I love my back", "I love my neck", "I love my head", "I love my mind." It's just affirming love into your being, and the more you embed love, the more you will attract love. And the most important love in life is the love from self to self.

Sports Injury Adjustments Made by Dr. Steve WardSports Injury Adjustments Made by Dr. Steve Ward
Sports injuries. The wall adjustment technique is effective in treating sports injuries as well as those from other causes including neck pain, shoulder blade pain, lower back pain. And the reason why it's so effective is that there are no twisting dynamics that are being done on the spine. For instance, for someone who has a lower back case, and they have a lot of lower back pain, if the chiropractor puts them on their side and twists their lower back, it is possible to shear their lower back disk (very bad) and the doctor can take a compressed disk and make it more narrow (also very bad). So, over time, it is possible to put that lower back disk in even more stress. That's why Dr. Ward uses wall adjustments. They apply straight-on force so there are no twisting dynamics that can hurt you. Wall adjustments are much healthier for the spine.

The Father of Spinal Column Stressology
This website is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Lowell Ward, the founder of Spinal Column Stressology (SCS). He was born in Columbus, Ohio on June 11, 1936. He graduated in 1960 from Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa. His primary interest was to develop different ways to objectively document chiropractic. Dr. Ward was also interested in the correlation between spinal curvature and human behavior. He developed a spinal blueprint which he used to study diseased conditions, mental/emotional behaviors and the impact of inherited behavior.
Aerospace Technology
Dr. Ward soon began working with Clint Fulkerson, Ph.D., chief aerospace engineer at Californias largest space-exploration firm. Dr. Fulkerson originally came to Dr. Ward as a patient, but soon became interested in the structural mechanisms of the intact spinal column. He gave Dr. Ward explicit advice: 1) develop methods that accurately measure the critical landmarks of spinal distortions/disorders; and 2) devise procedures to analyze progression. He and Dr. Ward developed a highly sophisticated system of spinal stress measurement, incorporating Dr. Selye's three-stage theory of stress response (alarm, resistance, and exhaustion).
The Meninges
Later on, Dr. Ward read the book Adverse Mechanical Tension in the Central Nervous System by Alf Breig M.D. Dr. Breig's book focused on the meninges, the tough, plastic-like coverings of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. The meningeal fibers are anchored at the lower end by a tough ligament to the first segment of the tailbone. As a closed tube, the meninges constrict when stretched. Such meningeal stretching is capable of compressing the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. An important spinal column stabilizer, the meninges tense the spine to make it stronger during movement or postural extremes, thereby maintaining the bodys equilibrium. Dr. Breig's research helped explain how and why trauma to either the low back or the brain could affect the other and everything in between.
SCS Basic Premise
Dr. Ward's basic premise was that the spinal column-pelvic-meningeal unit functions as a single, intact system. This system is designed to monitor, regulate and react and adapt to all internal and external stressors. This system provides a protective environment for the brain, spinal cord, and cranial and spinal nerves. Through the meninges the spinal meningeal system is able to tighten or elongate in response to movement or stress.

Mental emotional profile | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90813http://chiroman.com/
--------------
A mental emotional profile is a profile that's based on standing and seated, front view and side view, full-spine x-rays. We then take those spinal x-rays and measure about fifty points on the spine. Each measurement tells us something about what's going on psychologically with the person. Some measurements reveal the issues of self, what's going on with self. Other numbers reveal the parental role in that person's reality. Other issues may relate to savioural issues. Some may relate to a patterns that are coming in from parents like high expectations or parental criticism or parental abandonment. We're able to help people to quickly understand what is theirs and what is not theirs. And what we find with the mental emotional profile is most people are carrying issues or behavioral scripts that belong to someone else, and they're seeing their life through the eyes of that person. And so, in our work, we find that mental emotional profiles are so powerful in helping people unlock pain patterns and degenerative disease conditions.

Relationships | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90806http://chiroman.com/
--------------
Abandonment of parent greatly impacts a person's emotional life, the reason being that they have this issue of abandonment in their history. So when they begin to attract to their life, they attract a person who would duplicate the abandonment profile. And so that means that if they're rejected by a parent, then they attract a person that will reject them -- they will attract a peer that will reject them. People commonly attract the same type of relationship over and over, meaning if I am a right-curve male - which I am - I will attract a left-curve female which I have done. And I've attracted many left-curve females in my life. And so what happens is the patterns of behavior attract one another. The challenge though is when we come from expectation: When a right-curve man expects his left-curve woman to give him what his mother did not give. Or the left-curve woman expects the right-curve man to give what the father didn't give. And that's where it's an expectation, and that's where we will always have a disappointment. That's why we see relationships that fail one after another is that they're attracting this opposition curve, and there's injury with the parent, and the parent didn't give them what they needed. And so then the expectation is their partner will do it and that doesn't happen.

Chronic fatigue | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90804http://chiroman.com/

Chronic Fatigue
What is the relationship between fatigue, fibromyalgia and the spine?
In chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, we have been able to identify a specific curvature pattern. We find that most women in chronic fatigue have left-spinal-curvature patterns. What happens is they oftentimes are mentally very strong. They tend to over-push, and when they start to fatigue, because they're mentally strong, they just push through their fatigue. Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia oftentimes go hand-in-hand. When we have a denial-based pattern, which chronic fatigue is, it's when people deny their energy, deny their truth, they over-push, they use up all their stored energy. Then, all of a sudden, they begin to have fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is where you get stress in various muscle groups in the body. And because they're in a denial pattern, that comes on gradually, and then all of a sudden, it hits them and it's almost disabling, in many cases. And so we have to really teach the chronic fatigue fibromyalgia person to slow down, to ask themselves the question, "How can I do this and save energy?"

Driven behavior | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90803http://chiroman.com/
--------------
What is Driven Behavior and how does it connect to the spine?
People who are driven in their behavior, the spine always goes forward to normal. So the neck goes forward, mid-back curve goes forward, lumbar curve reverses. So the people who are most driven are really far-forward standing and sitting. The connection of seeking approval and driven behavior is very interesting. What happens is we start out with the left-curve-leaning male approval or right-leaning female approval or a left and right needing both approval, male and female. And then when we do our best, and then we go to that person, and they don't give us approval, then what we think is that we haven't done enough. At that point, we become more driven. We push ourselves more, thinking that, by doing more, we'll get what we need. And all that takes place is we've depleted our energy, and we've set up a degenerative of energy process.

Anger | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Signal Hill CA 90755http://chiroman.com/
--------------
Anger
What is anger and its connection to the spine?
Over the years, we have studied what the relationship is between the spine and hurt. And what we have found it is that there are different types of curvature patterns: when spine goes backward in their lower back curve, they calmly take their hurtful experiences internally. We find that cancer profiles, for example, all have this in common. So all cancer profiles take hurt that they feel in their life, they take it internally and the more they internalize it, the more likely they are to attract another person with a cancer profile. On the other hand, we have looked at this lower back spine, and we have found that when the lower back spine goes forward in a curve, that calmly indicates that they reacted in anger. In cases of lower back pain, we find always at the lumbar curve is reversing, therefore the person is taking hurt internally and the pain that they feel is directly related to the hurt that's denied. But there is a source of that reactive rage. And what happens is it comes down to the person, and then it's triggered in that person, so when certain things come up, it triggers reactive rage. We see it a lot with men who are right-curvature. So a right-curvature man is the person who has really high standards is trying always to give their very best.

Genetic Expression | Long Beach CA Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90802http://chiroman.com/
--------------
The Minnesota twins study was a very profound study. Within the work of psychological behavior, the study took place over period of many years. And they took identical twins that were separated at birth, then these identical twins came back many years after their separation and they found them to be identical psychologically, meaning many of the twins acted the same way. They maybe both read from the back to the front, they screamed on elevators, they named their kids the same names, they have the same type jobs.
We have been studying behavior and its relationship to the spine for many, many years. And so what was interesting is when we found that the twins that were separated at birth where really similar psychologically. And what we have found in our study is that the spinal column, whether it goes left or right forward or backwards, tells us a lot about the psychological behavior. And we found even in twins that we have studied that in our study the twins were very different. The difference being in our study these twins grew up together so each twin was trying to really create their own separate identity. And so one would be more logical which would be a left curve and one would be more emotional which would be a right curve. One would be more backward which is more in a state of withdrawal, and one would be more forward and which is more assertive and aggressive. And so it really began to give us more information on what we have theorized for many, many years, that a lot of our behavior is present from the moment of conception.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | Los Alamitos Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Los Alamitos CA 90720http://chiroman.com/
Dr. Ward has had amazing success treating patients afflicted with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a recessive X-linked form of muscular dystrophy, affecting around 1 in 3,600 boys, which results in muscle degeneration and eventual death. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, located on the human X chromosome, which codes for the protein dystrophin, an important structural component within muscle tissue that provides structural stability. While both sexes can carry the mutation, females rarely exhibit signs of the disease.
Symptoms usually appear in male children before age 6 and may be visible in early infancy. Even though symptoms do not appear until early infancy, laboratory testing can identify children who carry the active mutation at birth. Progressive muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis associated with a loss of muscle mass is observed first. Eventually this weakness spreads to the arms, neck, and other areas. Early signs may include pseudohypertrophy (enlargement of calf and deltoid muscles), low endurance, and difficulties in standing unaided or inability to ascend staircases. As the condition progresses, muscle tissue experiences wasting and is eventually replaced by fat and fibrotic tissue (fibrosis). By age 10, braces may be required to aid in walking but most patients are wheelchair dependent by age 12. Later symptoms may include abnormal bone development that lead to skeletal deformities, including curvature of the spine. Due to progressive deterioration of muscle, loss of movement occurs, eventually leading to paralysis. Intellectual impairment may or may not be present but if present, does not progressively worsen as the child ages. The average life expectancy for patients afflicted with DMD is around 25.

Back pain explained | Experienced Chiropractor | 562-420-8884 | Long Beach CA 90815http://chiroman.com/
Over the last forty years, we have studied the relationship between pain and curvature of the spine. We find that people who have left side pain oftentimes have left curvature of the spine and some of that is related to hurt coming from a male source. So, for instance, if a male parent is critical of their child, they may have left shoulder blade pain or lower left back pain. The left side of the body indicates male hurt, the right side indicates female hurt.
