Whether the video above is real or fake, it still sends shivers down your spine. Many elements of this video showcase how a properly functioning spine and nervous system made this video possible. Firstly, a jump from that height puts quite a bit of force on the discs cushioning the spinal vertebrae. If he had  degeneration in those discs and any possible nerve entrapment, an immediate reaction to the shark likely wouldn't have been his first thought. 
This is an extreme scenario, however, people living with sciatica, brachial plexus syndrome, degenerative disc disease, etc. can experience excruciating pain from just going down a step. Often times, what starts as stiffness and soreness in the mornings or after hard work, becomes a regular occurrence as time goes on and no intervention takes place. Keeping your spine health in check can prevent problems in the future and stop current small problems in their tracks. Seeing a chiropractor for when their back goes out or when sciatica gets unbearable is a small percentage of when and why our patients come in for care. In reality, most of our patients participate in the wellness membership package to maintain their spinal health and overall well being. Just like brushing your teeth or exercising for heart health, regular maintenance keeps your spine healthy and greatly decreases the chances of back pain or the need for surgery in the future.

When it came to choosing the best supplements to offer patients at ChiroElite, the choice was easy. Metagenics manufactures a product I can trust in having the utmost quality and potency. The company strives to offer the very best in the industry and I believe their products can not be matched in the grocery store or even in name brand health supplement stores. 

No one looks at quality quite the way we do. And what makes us different makes us better. We devote the time and personnel to verify ingredient safety, ensure proper ingredient form/identity, and then test for purity and quality at multiple steps. This diligence may not change the way our products look, but we know it makes a measurable difference in the way our products perform. You’ll know it, too.

Cutting corners can have long-reaching health effects. Especially if a product contains the wrong ingredient form or potentially harmful contaminants. Or if the active ingredients aren’t absorbed properly. Metagenics starts with a formula designed with sound research and carefully monitors every stage of production to deliver a finished product that lives up to its scientific promise.

The result? A higher level of purity, safety, and quality for reliably effective use. In fact, we’re one of the first companies in our industry to achieve three independent certifications for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by world-leading arbiters. In many areas, we exceed these requirements with additional in-house testing and third-party assays by respected independent laboratories.

Because knowing that thousands of healthcare providers rely on our products to help their patients feel better isn’t something we take lightly.

Stop in and have a chat with Dr. Pellatt about your supplement, pain management and therapy needs today. Any products from Metagenics, Biofreeze, or Thera-Band can be quickly ordered at a very reasonable price.

Muscle Stripping: The provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.



Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with muscle stripping. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

Although chiropractors care for more than just back pain, many patients visit chiropractors looking for relief from this pervasive condition. In fact, 31 million Americans experience low-back pain at any given time.

A few interesting facts about back pain:

• One-half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year.

• Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.

• Most cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic—meaning they are not caused by serious conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer.

• Americans spend at least $50 billion each year on back pain—and that’s just for the more easily identified costs.

• Experts estimate that as many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in their lives.
