Weight Loss Success In The Villages, Florida

Legacy Clinic and Dr. Chris are proud to offer this incredible weight loss program that has helped so many people lose tons of weight safely, effectively and for good. We are happy to share some of the success stories that we’ve had.

Weight Loss The Villages

What makes this an effective weight loss program? This program allows patients to lose weight and keep it off without harmful chemicals that could cause other problems. It does not require a gym membership where you need to spend several hours a day nor do you need to invest in equipment for your home. It doesn’t require expensive meal plans and there are no public weigh-ins. While the plan itself is pretty straight forward, Dr. Chris makes himself available to answer any questions you may have.

This plan succeeds where others fail because it is not meant to last only while you’re on it. This plan is meant to train your body to keep using unwanted fat as fuel which helps to keep the weight off in the future. By lowering the intake of carbohydrates, your body will begin to use up the fat that it has “stored” for later use. In the meantime, almost all vegetables are unlimited and you can still eat lean proteins so you never have to feel like you’re starving.

You should never rely on just one article to make your choice though. We have many testimonials from patients who have had outstanding success on this plan. One of our own employees even tried and lost an amazing 90 pounds. There is no better time than now to start living a healthier life. Dr Chris also offers a free consultation to further answer any questions about the plan that you might have. Call or email us today to start shedding those unwated pounds!

Medicare Chiropractic Policy

                                         MEDICARE CHIROPRACTIC POLICY
• If you are injured, have an exam related to that injury and are under a treatment plan for that
specific injury, Medicare will cover a portion of your adjustment. After that treatment plan, it is
not covered.
• If you are being treated for chronic pain, Medicare will not cover it.
• If you are being treated on a periodic basis, i.e. twice a month, once a month, every 3 weeks…,
this is considered maintenance and Medicare will not cover it.
• Medicare never covers exams, x-rays, therapy or massage.
• Secondary does not cover anything Medicare doesn’t cover. They will cover the other portion of
the medically necessary adjustment.
• You are charged for services in our office at the Medicare specified rate (this is government
mandated)
• You will be told on every visit whether we believe Medicare will consider your services as
medically necessary.

Chiropractic Coverage
Medicare only provides coverage for the chiropractic adjustment of the spine. Your coverage
usually includes a number of visits based on medical necessity.

Exams, X-rays, Massage therapy, orthotics and physical therapy coverage:
Medicare never covers these. Instead, you are responsible for payment of these services at a
reduced Medicare rate.

What if I have secondary insurance?
This entirely depends on your secondary plan. Most secondary insurance will still only consider
the chiropractic adjustment. They simply reimburse the portion of the adjustment that Medicare
does not. All other services are still not covered. A select few (very few) secondary plans will
cover those services that Medicare does not even consider.
We do not file with your secondary insurance, Medicare does. We file with Medicare. After
Medicare completes the processing of your claims, they will send the explanation to your secondary
insurance for consideration. Some secondary insurances pay us directly as we are providers with
them. When this occurs, a credit will be applied to your account.

Maintenance Therapy:
“Maintenance therapy includes services that seek to prevent disease, promote health and prolong
and enhance the quality of life, or maintain or prevent deterioration of a chronic condition. When
further clinical improvement cannot reasonably be expected from continuous ongoing care, and the
chiropractic treatment becomes supportive rather than corrective in nature, the treatment is then
considered maintenance therapy. Under the Medicare program, Chiropractic maintenance therapy is
not considered to be medically reasonable or necessary, and is therefore not payable”

“Maintenance/Palliative Care is not a covered benefit for any of our covered managed care plans.”

Nervous system – Chiropractor in villages Florida

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

CHECKED LATELY?

Why are people flocking to Legacy Clinic 1 time per month?
 
Because the human body possesses a natural ability to heal itself, and this ability depends on a healthy nervous system.
Safe, specific spinal correction allows your body to heal faster and can even prevent disease. Your spine provides a basic
structure for the muscles and other parts of your body, performing several pivotal functions like support, protection and
flexibility. Nerves branching off the spinal cord also communicate with specific organs and regions of your body.For these
reasons alone, alignment of your spine is key. When your spine is healthy, your body functions as it was designed. However,
when misaligned or damaged, the life-giving power of your nervous system is interrupted, causing painful symptoms and
illness to pop up.
 
“What connects the mind to the body is the nervous system, which medical textbooks refer to as the master control system. 
You will be amazed at how the spine and the nervous sytem are interrelated and connected to every aspect of our
expression of health and wellness.”

Facet Syndrome in the Villages Florida

Facet Syndrome in the Villages Florida

One of the most common causes of lower back pain is lumbar facet syndrome. A pair of facet joints extend out from each vertebra along the back of the spinal column (the side that faces out), which connect to the corresponding vertebrae above and below, allowing for movement in the spine. Like any other joints, they are subject to injury and conditions such as arthritis or repetitive motion disorder. The more activity someone does that JAMS the Vertebral discs than
the greater chances of facet syndrome. Your Lumbar spine is structured with a lordotic curve. That curve is formed to distribute the weight evenly on each vertebra. When you lose the lordotic curve from sitting or poor posture then your weight on your joints is not evenly distributed and creates too much force on your Lumbar facet joints. The lumbar facet joint can create pain stemming from a variety of causes. One of the most common causes is simply aging. As we get older, the cartilage in our joints wears down and the synovial fluid lessens, reducing the cushioning the cartilage provides, and allowing the bones of
the joint to rub together. Smokers are at greater risk for lumbar facet syndrome, as it has been proven that smoking leads to greater cartilage loss. Injury to the lumbar facet joints caused by trauma or overextension (a situation particularly common among athletes) can also lead to this syndrome.

The Spinal Facet Joint

Some of the symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome include:
1.) Severe spinal pain, particularly when engaged in movement.
2.) Stiffness and limited motion ability in the area of the back.
3.) Pain becomes worse upon bending backward or straightening the back.
4.) When the lumbar nerve is affected, sciatica symptoms may occur.
5.) An onset of Pinched Nerve symptoms may arise, particularly in the area of the cervical spine. 

Suffering from Facet Joint Syndrome

Individuals suffering from facet syndrome may feel worse in the morning, due to increased inflammation and stiffness that occurs during a resting period. They tend to have stiffness and usually will feel somewhat better after they have been moving around. As the day progresses they tend to be ok as long as they keep moving. However, for those having to work seated all day or work from a computer, they may find they are at a greater risk of experiencing pain
throughout the day. Patients often try shifting their posture in an attempt to find relief. But while this temporarily reduces discomfort, the resulting poor posture can trigger muscle spasms in the surrounding tissue, forcing the irritated facet joints more firmly together and making movement in the low back even more painful. 

Treatment for Facet Joint Syndrome

People with lumbar facet syndrome respond particularly well to Chiropractic care in the Villages.
If you’re experiencing symptoms mentioned above and are looking for a chiropractor in The Villages, you can schedule a free consultation at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic. While the mechanisms underlying facet syndrome are similar for everyone, there are factors unique to each patient, however, which determine what type of care will work best for you. If your condition is out of
our scope of care, or we believe someone else may be a better choice for you, we will research who the best medical professional would be and give you a referral.

The Villages Chiropractor – Legacy Clinic

Apple Cider

Love the taste or hate it, apple cider vinegar has some pretty incredible health benefits. Made from fermented apples, research on this potent liquid has revealed promising results, including combating insulin and glucose spikes in type 2 diabetics, not to mention aiding weight loss. It can also soothe a sore throat and may relieve other symptoms of the flu, like nasal congestion and cough. Read on for some more reasons why you should add it to your health routine.
Like most things, the quality of the apple cider vinegar (ACV) matters. When purchasing ACV, select only raw organic vinegar—unlike other refined clear vinegars, this will be a murky brown color with sediment-like substance that settles to the bottom. It might not look pretty, but it’s the best and only option you should choose. You’ll also see labels that say “with the Mother,” sounds odd, but this means that it includes living nutrients and bacteria—this is the cobweb-like substance you’ll see floating in the vinegar.
ACV Uses and Benefits
There are various ways you can take ACV—take a small dose of around 1 to 2 teaspoons a day, dilute a spoonful in a glass of water, add it to an organic juice (preferably made in your juicer) or even mix it into your salad. Be cautious with continuous use of undiluted ACV; it is highly acidic and can be harsh on your tooth enamel. Here are a few of the possible benefits of ACV use—we encourage you to do more research to find other potential health benefits:
ACV is rich in potassium which aids the transmission of nerve impulses and helps to build muscles.
It’s high in acetic acid which can slow your body’s digestion of starch—this is what may lower the rise in glucose after a meal. A study done in 2004 and cited in Diabetes Care (an American Diabetes Foundation publication), demonstrated that participants with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and even those without diabetes had better blood glucose readings when they took ACV before a meal. Those with type 2 saw a 25 percent improvement in their blood glucose levels.
Some research has also indicated ACV use may lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
ACV can balance your pH level due to its alkaline-forming properties. This has also been shown to regulate the presence of candida—which is a yeast-like fungus that aids digestion and nutrient absorption. When your body overproduces candida, it can cause many different health issues including fungal infections, digestive issues and chronic fatigue.
It may help relieve heartburn. It sounds counterintuitive, but some people get relief from taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar followed by a glass of water.
Try gargling ACV when you have a sore throat; the antibacterial properties of the vinegar may neutralize the infection. It can also help drain your sinuses when you’re stuffed up.
While there is research that shows a strong correlation between ACV use and various health benefits, these tips are not meant to be used in place of the recommendations of your healthcare professional and remember: what works for some, might not work for others.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Maximized Living Chiropractor in the Villages Florida

We talked to Dr. John C Theeck D.C., Legacy Clinic-The Villages about how he incorporates a personalized program for each patient.
CORRECTIVE CHIROPRACTIC

Each patient that comes into my office has a specific structural condition that is affecting their spine and therefore causing symptoms of headaches, neck pain, and/or arthritis. Your first appointment at Legacy Clinic utilizes comprehensive analyzation in our state of the art facility. We focus on finding the cause to your problem and therefore permanently correcting your symptoms. An injury to the spinal structure causes a change in the muscles, muscle memory, and spinal column.
Traditional chiropractors focus on aligning the spinal column, but do not focus on strengthen the effected structure.
Physical Therapists focus on stretching and strengthen the damaged muscles associated with the compensation that occurred from the structural changed of the spinal column.
Dr. John C Theeck at Legacy Clinic utilizes the pettibon technique which focuses on changing the structure, neuromuscular exercises, and y-axial adjustments. “Each patient that comes into my office has a different spine”. I have never seen 2 of the exact same spines which mean each person gets specific PERSONALIZED exercises for their condition.
Do you want your adjustments to hold and to learn about the Pettibon Technique?
