Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that children that don’t play much or are rarely touched, develop brains 20-30% smaller than normal. Basically — not enough stimulation, not enough brain growth. This stimulation must be balanced to accommodate both hemispheres of the brain. Future research may show Cranial Spinal Integration allowing for this to occur without interference.

Many people think that you can only be hurt by traumas and toxins — most people’s worst enemy are thoughts. We see it everyday! It has been shown that negative thoughts release bad chemicals in the body and positive thoughts release good chemicals in the body. What have you been thinking lately?

WASHINGTON – The government will allow food producers to start zapping fresh spinach and iceberg lettuce with just enough radiation to kill E. coli and other dangerous germs, a key safety move amid increasing outbreaks from raw produce.

Although radiation is necessary in certain circumstances — twenty five years ago in chiropractic college we learned that all forms and all levels of radiation have a detrimental effect. It has been shown to alter genetic information. All food we eat has genetic information. Will we have a choice as consumers for non-radiated food.  I am sure there are safer ways to protect our food sources than radiation.

Maybe it won’t show in our generation, or our children, or their children, but altering genes in our food supply is bound to come back to haunt us.

This fits right in with the government mandating that our mattresses be coated in flame-retardant chemical. Well, myself and family are non-smokers — I should be able to buy a chemical free bed (non-smoker’s version).

The government in their wisdom of trying to protect us, is exposing us to lethal agents. What next — chemicals on diapers, so babies don’t get those nasty rashes — maybe mandate, everyone gets sprayed with Lysol before entering a grocery store.

Maybe the government should mandate, exercise, good diet and of course chiropractic cranial.

Someone forwarded this YouTube link. I don’t know who put this together — but it will give you an idea why we don’t participate in insurance and it may give you a chuckle!

Take a look click here —> Health Insurance Rules

When a patient comes into our office — it is only a contract between the doctor and the patient. No paper pusher, or rule maker who is 400 miles away gets to decide your care for you.

Cranial Care is considered implausible by many insurance carriers – they just look at it as so “unbelievable” that they are not willing to pay.

Interesting statistic: If you think our care is too expensive, a study by the New England Journal of Medicine says, for every $1 spent on alternative care, $40 are NOT spent on pharmaceutical companies. So if you spent $1000 in our office, you just cost the pharmaceutical industry $40,000

What do sliced bread and chiropractic have to do with each other?

In 1895 D.D. Palmer a magnetic healer developed/discovered chiropractic — an American born healthcare system!

In 1917 Otto Frederick Rohwedder invented the first loaf-at-a-time bread-slicing machine.

I have always loved the term, “The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread” and I love chiropractic and being a chiropractor. Otto and D.D. both came up with their “inventions” in Davenport, Iowa. Must be the Mecca of great ideas

Over the years there have been many variations of sliced bread as there have been many variations of chiropractic. Some of the techniques used in chiropractic did not originate with chiropractors AND some techniques developed by chiropractors have been used by other professions.

Just like bread, where some people like wheat and some people like sourdough; In chiropractic, some people like a physical style and some people gentle style. Chiropractic Cranial as done in our office is more along the lines of the gentle style — no cracking, popping or major twisting.

However, Dr. Ross has been in practice for 23 years and under the right circumstance, pop and twist with the best of ‘em — generally it is not necessary.

People often ask me what is Chiropractic Cranial…

As a practicing chiropractor for 23 years, I have been exposed to many techniques for helping my patients. Spinal techniques, extremitiy techniques and cranial techniques. Early on in my career and schooling I was exposed to cranial work. I didn’t give it much thought until about 5 years ago when I was trained in Bio Cranial. I taught Bio Cranial for a brief period of time and was even named 2007 Bio Cranial practitioner of the year. I fought for the right to practice Bio Cranial in California.

Now after all the fighting and a compilation of all that I have learned over the past 23 years, I am a “chiropractor” doing “cranial” work — hence Chiropractic Cranial (and Chiropractic Spinal and Chiropractic Extremity).

Many people say that they want to do something “their way”. I have learned over the years that there is no such thing as your way — your way is ALWAYS a compilation of things you have learned and picked up along the way.

I would like to thank, Dr. Nephi Cottam, Dr. William Garner Sutherland, Dr. Magoun, Dr. Upledger, Dr. De Jarnette, Dr. Boyd, Dr. Doreste, Dr. Blye, Dr. Koren and one of the most creative chiropractors ever, Dr. Ray Weltch.

p.s. Many times the teacher learns from his students — thanks, Guy, Sky, Phil, Jill, Janice, Matt, Alex and Dr. Google (where would I be without you)

p.p.s. Chiropractic Cranial is not a technique — chiropractic cranial, is simply a chiropractor that emphasizes cranial work on his patients.

My name is Dr. Craig Ross — I am a Doctor of Chiropractic in Roseville, California (near Sacramento). Hopefully this blog allows you a view of my world; The World of Wellness22.

About 5 years ago my life was changed dramatically (I thought tragically); I fractured my arm in five places. Due to this injury, I was on a mission to find a technique to use that was effective on my patients and easier on me. I now truly look at fracturing my arm as a blessing in disguise, as I discovered cranial work at a seminar in Las Vegas. My World will never be the same and hopefully neither will yours.

The 22 in Wellness22 comes from the fact there are 22 moveable cranial bones. These bones being in balance is the key to unleashing the healing power of the brain. Check out my site www.Wellness22.com for more information on how it works.

I would like to thank Rufina and Ruben James for putting together my new website and this blog.
