Limit Media Use

The media bombards us. The 24-hour news channels, cable and satellite radio and television, magazines, billboards, newspapers and even the Internet clamor for our attention.

Separate From Reality

Media experience is not real. Sure, we may flinch during a fight scene or be moved to tears by a tender moment, but we are largely being passive and separate.

Creates Group Think

The media creates a herd mentality. We appear to be free, but in so many way we dress, act and think just like everyone else. The media also tends to reduce creativity.

Contemporary Hypnotism

Ever watch someone watch television? Their vacant stare, fixated on the moving images, reveals the dangerous side of allowing unfiltered ideas to enter our consciousness.

Are there valuable educational experiences available through the media? Of course. But they are presented along with the health-compromising values of drug advertising, instant gratification, gratuitous consumerism and violence.

 

Dr. Ahrens Asks some important questions of interest to San Clemente residents - Chiropractor San Clemente Dr. Ahrens Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each practice member. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in San Clemente and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
