New Documentary
We highly recommend the new documentary, “1986 The Act“. If you want to learn the history of vaccinations and the legislation that has affected public health policy in the US, watch this well- researched documentary! It’s all there. An informed decision is the best decision and, unfortunately, Americans and anyone relying on main stream media are generally not informed about vaccines. Just follow the link above to access the movie online.

Test For Health and Weight
Our chiropractic/nutrition clinic now offers the BIA or Bio-electrical impedance analysis. This test measures percent body fat, percent lean body mass,, hydration status, plus it is an excellent measure of overall health.
We use blood tests for measuring what’s in the blood, but did you know research shows we can use bio-electrical analysis to measure the components of your body weight? This is useful information for gauging overall health or monitoring changes in weight and health as lifestyle changes are implemented. BIA is the most accurate way to determine if the weight you lose is fat and if the weight you gain is muscle. The best news is that this test, besides being accurate, is quick (immediate results), painless, and inexpensive. BIA is FDA approved and has been used for decades in hospitals and in nutrition/health-related research.
How do we do the test? The BIA test involves placing two electrodes on the right foot and two on the right hand. An imperceptible low-level electrical current goes through these electrodes and the body. The amount of fluid in the body affects the flow of electrical current and the BIA unit measures how this current is impeded through various tissues of the body. The current will be impeded more in tissues that have less fluid in them such as fat and bone and it will be less impeded in tissues with more fluid such as blood. Measurements of resistance and reactance are instantly generated by the unit and these numbers are entered into a software program to generate a report. The report details the composition of the weight of the body and also hydration status.
Call 540-343-6636 to schedule your BIA today.

Never Stop Learning!
Dr. Burgoon and Monica attended the Virginia Chiropractic Association’s Conference here in Roanoke this last weekend. Wow! There are some powerful tools (in addition to chiropractic adjustments and nutrition) now available for evaluating and re-booting the autonomic nervous system. That means we can more effectively address stress responses–you know, undesirable responses your body makes to triggers in your environment. This would include high blood pressure, migraines, irritable bowel, and many other problems. Ask us about it next time you are in the office!
