LOCAL CHIROPRACTOR SELECTED TO BE EXPERT ON HISTORY CHANNEL SERIES

A Spine Tingling Good Time

Chiropractor, Dr. Josh Handt who practices in NYC was just featured on the Stan Lee’s Superhumans program on the History Channel. Dr. Josh was selected as the pain specialist who would be measuring the level of pain on someone who supposedly has super human powers.

Dr. Josh, an Upper West Side Chiropractor, uses his knowledge of the human body, and high tech computerized diagnostics to measure human health potential. This specialized equipment gives Dr. Josh the ability to digitally measure pain/sensitivity of the nervous system, as well as he able to measure a person’s health potential by monitoring the autonomic nervous system and how it balances the bodies healing ability with its fight or flight mechanism.

Though the History Channel describes Dr. Josh as a pain specialist. His practice actually focuses on the balance and tone of the nervous system through proper alignment of the spine. Our nervous system not only determines levels of pain, but also our overall degree of health and wellness.

“Pain is the gift that nobody wants. It’s signals you to the fact that something is wrong! Most people use medication to hide the pain and cover up this most important signal, the cause of the problem... Chiropractic offers a drug free solution to these problems.” said Dr. Josh Handt.

The series is offered on TV and on www.History.com where you can watch Dr. Josh Handt over and over!!! “The Superhuman Series is GREAT... you get to see some amazing, bazaar, and some really interesting people with great control over their bodies.” says Dr. Josh.

Chiropractic Care Resolves 7-Year Old’s Ataxia

Chiropractic Care Resolves 7-Year Old’s Ataxia

 

(Feb 2010, NYC).   Chiropractic care is often thought of only in terms of relief from back and neck pain, but the plain truth is that case studies suggest many different health problems may respond to a regular program of chiropractic care. According to a recent case study, the condition known as Ataxia, a neurological disorder characterized by a lack of coordination in muscle movements, resolved following a regimen of chiropractic adjustments.

“There are certainly no guarantees with any course of care,” said Dr. Josh Handt, a NYC-based chiropractor who strives to keep current with the latest research and developments in health and wellness.   “And every case depends on the specific factors associated with that case.  But we see, from time to time, individual case studies that give rise to hope for many.”

The 7-year old female in this particular case underwent a thorough chiropractic exam, and a trans-neuronal dysfunction to the right cerebellum was noted and a diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia made.  Subluxations were also noted as a result of the examination.

“A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that disturbs normal nervous system function,” said Dr. Handt.  “Many chiropractors, including myself, have special, non-intrusive technology that allows them to conduct thermal and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) tests to assist in locating where such conditions exist.”

According to the case study, which was reported in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal, and Family Health,

. . . chiropractic adjustments were delivered to the area of subluxation in either the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and/or pelvic region as needed.  Neuro-rehabilitative exercises were given either at home and/or during the office visit.  Within four visits there was marked improvement of gait patterns and resolution of the ataxia.

“This is just one case study,” Dr. Handt emphasized, “and more studies are needed before any absolute conclusions can be drawn.  But as chiropractors, we believe that the nervous system is the master-controller of the systems and functions of the human body.  It stands to reason, then, that improvement in nervous system function, which is what we do as chiropractors, can have a beneficial effect on overall health.”

Local Doctor Cites Recent Case Study of 4-Year Old

Chiropractic Care May Ease ADHD, Ear Problems

 

An article in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research points to a case study involving a 4-year old boy diagnosed by his pediatrician with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  He was dropped by his day care center because of the disruptive effects of his ADHD.  The child had a history of ear infections, coughing, poor appetite, and abnormal sleep patterns, and had been also diagnosed with asthma at age 2 and put on a nebulizer. 

The child’s mother brought him to a chiropractor for evaluation. The examining chiropractor, using a non-intrusive instrument known as an Insight Subluxation Station, conducted thermal and sEMG scans of the child’s spine and found the existence of a subluxation in the child’s cervical area.

“A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that disturbs normal nervous system function,” said Dr. Handt, a local chiropractor whose patients include a great many children.   “Many chiropractors, including myself, have this technology that allows them to conduct thermal and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) tests to assist in locating where such conditions exist.”

The patient underwent chiropractic care, including spinal adjustments, with frequency of care initially set at three times per week for two and a half months.  

The child was a difficult subject because of his hyperactivity, but when promised rewards by the parents for his cooperation, he became more amenable to the care program.

Twelve days into the treatment program, the mother reported the child’s eating habits had improved.  The child was reevaluated at the 13^th visit, at which point the mother said her son’s appetite was back to normal.  She also said his sleep patterns had improved and he was much less hyperactive.  He was able to stop all medication and his school work also showed a better ability to focus and perform assigned tasks.

After the initial 2 ½ -month plan of chiropractic care, improved thermal and sEMG scans were noted, and visits were cut back to twice a week.  The child’s progress continued, but when chiropractic care was disrupted and later discontinued because of the parents moving out of state, the child’s symptoms began to reappear.

“This is just one case study,” said Dr. Josh Handt, and more studies are needed before any absolute conclusions can be drawn.  Nevertheless, regular chiropractic care does seem to have made a difference in this particular case.” 

Dr. Handt’s chiropractic practice features the Insight Subluxation Station.  This technology is certified by the Space Foundation and is used by 8,000 chiropractors worldwide to measure nervous system function and performance.
