This Chiropractor Near Makati, Manila Taught Me 5 Things About My Back and Health

Visiting a Chiropractor Across the Makati CBD Area

I accompanied my wife one Saturday when she visited this chiropractic clinic in Taguig, near Makati City, Metro Manila. I was very eager to join her because in the many years that we've been together, most of the time, she would wake up the moment I got up for work at around 5:30 in the morning. Very seldom would she be able to get back to sleep after I leave for the office.

The two nights after her chiropractic session with Dr. George Cromack together with other friends one Wednesday, she slept so soundly, like a baby and slept even after I left for work. This was not usual because I would always encourage her to go back to sleep after I say goodbye in the morning. Sometimes, when I text with her during the day, I would also encourage her to take time for a nap after lunch with our son. But, because of her action-oriented personality and inclination, she usually would not feel the need to rest unless she has finished the many things she juggles - online tasks, homeschooling, and keeping the home. She is a very productive lady that's why I call her my Proverbs 31 woman.

So, last Saturday, I went to visit Dr. Cromack's Manila Neck and Back Center located in Bonifacio Global City, right across Makati CBD and got to experience for myself the advantages of having sessions with a very experienced chiropractor. Dr. George Cromack has 33 years of experience in chiropractic medicine.

Dr. Cromack's chiropractic expertise taught me five things about my back and my overall health. 

1. The muscles on either sides of the spine should be balanced. 

One of the first things that Dr. Cromack did was scan my back using the Static EMG Scanner.

It is a device used to detect or read electrical activity (action potential) in order to measure paraspinal tension. According to an article on Static and Dynamic Surface Electromyography(sEMG),

The electric current pattern is a critical component in how your body functions. The muscles on either side of your spine should be balanced: if they are not working equally well, the body is forced to compensate, which takes energy. This imbalance can monitored by sEMG technology. Alterations in electrical activity in the paraspinal muscles can shed light on the muscular changes linked to vertebral subluxations. As such, chiropractors can use sEMG to establish a baseline for paraspinal electrical activity. 

So, according to the sEMG scan, the upper and lower portions of my back show huge amounts of variation in surface electricity from normal and have subluxations (partial dislocation).

2. Spinal decay or subluxation degeneration naturally happens with age.

#LessGuiltFoodTrip with Metamucil

Did you know that the Philippine Food and Nutrition Research Institute recommends Filipino adults to consume 20 to 25 grams of dietary fiber daily? Sadly, inasmuch as we mean to source fiber from our daily diet, most of the time, it is not enough. Incidentally, the World's #1 selling fiber supplement has recently made a comeback. Metamucil is made from 100% natural psyllium fiber and is now available locally.

What is Psyllium? 

Psyllium is an excellent source of fiber from the husk of the seeds of Plantago Ovata. Some of the benefits of Psyllium are: Promote good digestive health, lower cholesterol, maintain healthy blood sugar levels and makes the body feel less hungry in between meals.
