Lifetime Family Wellness! Why Chiropractic Wellness Care Should be a Priority For Your Family.
What is health? Is health the absence of a major medical diagnosis? Is it an "ok" after an annual physical? Is it "feeling good"? Think about it... how are you defining your family's health? I think about health like a bowl. The bigger your bowl, the greater your possibility for holding health. Everyday you are either adding health or taking health from your bowl. I like this metaphor because it illustrates the concept of "adaptability" when it comes to our health... the less

The Opioid Epidemic: How Chiropractic Care is Changing the Equation
The #1 cause of disability in the United States if low back pain. The #2 cause is headaches. Both of these conditions, when handled through traditional medical routes, typically result in some sort of injection, powerful medications, and/or surgery. Yesterday, 130 people died from opioids. That is according to the Center for Disease Control who estimates over 47,000 people die annually in the US from opioid-related causes. That number is horrific and sad and should cause ever

A New Perspective on Health: Our 2019 Community Challenge
It’s that time of year again. The new year is the perfect time to create resolutions and goals for the upcoming year. But simply writing words on paper without some sort of a change in behavior will always lead to failure. Not sticking with New Year resolutions has become so common and cliché that some people have given up on the idea all together. Perhaps the problem is that we are trying to change behavior without a change in mindset! Think about your current perspective on

Give the Gift of Health Confidence this Holiday Season- Dr. Nathan Servey, Neurologically-based Chir
If you’ve ever been diagnosed with a serious illness or had a significant health problem arise, you know how it feels to NOT have confidence in your health. It feels like you have no control, no say in what happens to you. Suddenly, your life revolves around your health, whether you’re able to work or go to school, able to keep your vacation plans next month, even able to do basic daily activities. It’s not a great place to be. Even if you are relatively healthy, you can stil

Headache Myths and How Neurologically-based Chiropractic Care Can Help: by Dr. Nathan Servey, Victor
Everyone knows someone who suffers from headaches. Maybe it's a classmate, coworker, or family member. Maybe it's you. Nobody should have to suffer from daily head pain! We see patients every week who have tried everything and have been told by medical doctors that there is 'no other option' than painkillers and muscle relaxers. Maybe they have even tried 'chiropractic' before but didn't see the results they hoped for. Reach out and share this article with them about neurolog

Health ASSURANCE vs. Health insurance: Dr. Nathan Servey DC, Victoria MN Neurologically-based Chirop
The #1 BIGGEST thing people can do for their health (and their family's health) is to make the switch from being REactive to being PROactive. Let's be real... the majority of people take their health for granted and they don't pay much attention to it until something comes along that prevents them from enjoying and living their life. It can come as pain, injury, a disease diagnosis, or a life-threatening event. Unfortunately, at that point, the underlying cause of the problem

Are You 'Plugged In' to Your Health? By Dr. Nate Servey, Victoria MN Chiropractor
Every single cell in your body, every organ, every tissue, every system, every process, is 'wired' to your nervous system and ultimately... your BRAIN. A useful analogy is to think of our body like a phone being charged. Our BRAIN is like the power outlet. It supplies the input that keeps our body functioning like it should. The input that helps the body adapt, heal, and grow. Our NERVOUS SYSTEM (ie: spinal cord, other nerves) is like the phone charger... it transmits the inp

Back to School Health! -by Dr. Nathan Servey DC, Victoria MN Chiropractor
Back to School time is upon us (ready or not) and many of our families are busy fitting in last minute vacations, visiting schools and orientations, starting football practice, preparing for tryouts, and picking out new shoes and other school supplies. For many, it also means getting back into a regular routine. The good news is, this is the PERFECT time to establish good, healthy, productive routines from the START! These routines should include 1) setting an appropriate bed

ADD/ADHD: There IS a Better Way! by Dr. Nathan Servey, your Victoria, MN Chiropractor
ADD and ADHD are epidemic in this country. They are rampant in our community, our schools, our colleges, and our hospitals and clinics. You likely know a child (or adult) who struggles with focus, has difficulty with their mood, and has behavioral issues which are common symptoms of these conditions. Unfortunately, these kids and their parents are taught that medications such as Ritalin and Adderall are the only option, or even the best option. But THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS! Op

Chiropractors: The Electricians of the Body. by: Dr. Nathan Servey, your Victoria, MN Neurologically
When people first come into our office for chiropractic care, they usually do so because they're in pain... and that's OK! Pain is the body's way of letting us know that something is terribly wrong, like the smoke alarms in your house. The PROBLEM starts when people begin to just think about chiropractic as a form of pain-management (like people removing the batteries from smoke alarms), when in reality, chiropractic is SO much bigger, more AWESOME than that! The truth is, ne

Chiropractic and Scoliosis: by Dr. Nathan Servey, your Victoria, MN Chiropractor
The very word "scoliosis" sounds scary, however that doesn't need to be the case. Scoliosis is defined as a lateral (side-to-side) curve of the spine of more than 10 degrees (curves under 10 degrees are called... well, curves). Our spine is the most biomechanically efficient when there are no lateral curves present. In this position, the weight of the body is balanced and spread more evenly throughout the cartilaginous discs and spinal joints, muscle-tone is more balanced, an

Chiropractic and Ear Infections: by Dr. Nathan Servey, your Victoria, MN Chiropractor
By this point, I hope you know (but it's worth repeating), neurologically-based chiropractic is not JUST for pain. Our adjustments help your nervous system communicate and work correctly which helps you as a WHOLE person heal and function better. Today I want to 'talk' about an issue near-and-dear to my heart. EAR INFECTIONS... (especially in kiddos) and how chiropractic care can help. MY STORY When I was a kid, I struggled with chronic ear infections. If you've ever had an e

Understanding the Incredible Value of Chiropractic Care: by Dr. Nathan Servey, your Victoria, MN Pri
When it comes to leaving the "sick care" model of health and entering the world of TRUE health and TRUE healing, there are usually two major obstacles that people face. The first obstacle is MONEY. The second obstacle is PROCRASTINATION. So today, I want to focus on that first obstacle by talking a little bit about the incredible VALUE of principled chiropractic care and why it MUST be a priority for you and your family.

3-Tips to Encourage Your Spouse to Participate in Their Health- by Dr. Nathan Servey, your local Vic
I hear it EVERY...DAY. "My husband has awful low back pain but he won't do anything about it." "My wife gets really bad headaches a couple times a week. She just takes a few ibuprofen and they go away." My response is always the same, even if they don't have blatant symptoms, they should get their spine and nervous systems checked. Of course, most of my patients know this and have already told their spouse (usually over-and-over again) that they should come-in and get checked

How YOU Can Promote Wellness at Your Workplace- by Dr. Nathan Servey, your local Victoria, MN Chirop
It's that time of year... and by that I mean, my Facebook feed is full of pictures and statuses of friends, acquaintances, and professional partners who have "caught the flu". Now I have many words on that subject, but today (and always) I want to focus on HEALTH... not sickness. That is where "Wellness" comes-in, specifically chiropractic care. Chiropractic is NOT like traditional medicine. Instead, it's only purpose is to optimize nerve communication between brain and all t

How to Make 2018 the Healthiest Year EVER by Using the "Givers Gain" Philosophy: Dr. Natha
"Givers Gain". That is the philosophy of BNI, a nation-wide networking group I am a member of as well as a basic, universal law of energy. You may have heard it said other ways."You reap what you sow". Karma. "What goes around comes around". The premise is, if you want something (whether it be money, love, health, friends, etc.) YOU should be giving that same-thing to others. For example, if you want more money you should focus on donating money freely to charity or worthwhi
