Missoula Chiropractor Presents: A Quick Start Guide to Your Transformation in 2010

Feb 8

Posted by Dr. Shaun Stuto in back pain | No Comments

When the clock strikes midnight, the ball will drop this New Years. The confetti will erupt and the champagne corks will fly. The final chapter of 2009 is quickly coming to an end and we prepare now to turn the page. Just as quickly as they started, the festivities will end. The buzz will die, and life will normalize just as the hangover starts to set in. The sun will rise, a new year will be upon us and life as we know it will be very much the same. Without a definite plan, the smoke and hope you have mustered up regarding changinng your life will smolder into cold ash. That is without a plan. Follow these three powerful strategies instead and create massive change in your life in 2010!

1. Begin with the end in mind- Is there something you want to accomplish this year? What do you want? To lose weight? Gain muscle? Make more friends? Have more time with your family? Your goals are yours. Establish goals in all aspects of your life starting with the end in mind. From there you can work backwards. All goals must be measurable and obtainable. To help you with the brainstorming process, utilize Mind Mapping software. You can download a free version of “Free Mind” and map your thoughts. Define EXACTLY what you want! Remember that fuzzy targets do not get hit!

2. Change the words in your head- Control your self talk because the 2500 words/minute running through your brain dictate who you are and what you are capable of. These messages are formed from what we learned by our mothers, fathers, teachers, preachers, coaches and big pharmacy. Realize right now you will change your life by leaps and bounds when you understand the power of self talk. Your brain only knows what you tell it. You are allowed to fool your brain. For example,tell yourself you are a multi-millionaire.Your brain will believe it. When you modify the words being spoken in your head, you will change your life

3. Record your progress- Would you believe that by writing down everything that goes into your mouth, you will lose 10 pounds this month? Do it and find out what happens. When you set a goal, record every action and effort you make that has an impact on achieving said goal. Successful people keep score. Do you know the score in your life? Play every ace! Write down the decisions you are making and have someone else evaluate whether the actions are driving you closer or further from the goal.

Utilize these three powerful strategies! Believe they will change your life! Fail forward FAST! In order for things in your life to change, YOU must change. You cannot continue to do what you did and anticipate a different outcome. Expect miracles and believe everthing you desire is possible. I am Dr. Shaun Stuto and I wish you a life of abundance.

Chiropractor Missoula-The Road to Wellness: Your Health Article #1-Sleep

Feb 7

Posted by Dr. Shaun Stuto in back pain | No Comments

Welcome to the first installment of “Your Health.” Please reference our video series on Youtube and also on our website Transformation Chiropractic Missoula, Montana Dr. Shaun Stuto is a Missoula Chiropractor, author, speaker, and the owner/founder of Transformation Chiropractic. The goal of “Your Health” is to explore and dissect many of the different aspects that encompass wellness. “Wellness” is a buzzword that we hear alot on T.V. and in other media. The big question is who is defining what wellness is? The concept of “wellness” is the polar opposite of disease and death. Wellness is at the far end of the spectrum of health and is not necessarily a destination. The concept and goal of wellness is in the journey of achieving it. Think of “wellness” as the point between “excellence” and “perfection.” Excellent health includes many factors such as a balanced lifestyle, low blood pressure, good height:weight ratio low mental stress, healthy diet and an active lifestyle to name a few. The point where excellent health actually becomes perfect cannot be precisely distinguished.

The first aspect of wellness we will explore is sleep. While the nervous system and a well adjusted spine are the single most important aspect of wellness, sleep and nutrition are a tie for second. An optimal functioning nervous system free of disturbance is only made possible through a well adjusted spine. The spine protects the nervous system which is the master controller of the body. As a person becomes stressed physically, chemically or emotionally, this can lead to disturbances in the nervous system that only a chiropractor can detect and correct.

The effects of this type of sleep deprivation are massive. This type of person has no energy. They are irritable and stressed. Often this type of patient is driven to be the perfect worker, the perfect spouse, the perfect parent, the perfect child etc… It is no surprise that this type of person cannot maintain this lifestyle forever. They often develop inexplicable symptoms such as aches and pains. The most common areas of pain show up in the neck and lower back. What is the quickest way to make a person slow down and rest? Low back pain! When the low back goes out, you go down and have to rest. The body has the innate intelligence to know when and how to put you down and force you to rest.

Unless you are an elite athlete training hours/day and burning thousands of calories, you should not need more than 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If you need less than 6 hours see a doctor and if you need more than 9 see a psychologist. It is quite possible that compounding emotional and psychological factors are contributing to your need to sleep so much.

The most important aspect of sleep is your comfort. You must be comfortable in order to maximize your recovery time. With the high stress, high paced lives most of us lead, it is crucial to maximize our time at rest. “Invest in your rest!” I coined the phrase and you should take it to heart. Invest in your rest means spend the money on the highest quality bed you can afford. Most people do best on a firmer mattress.

As your Chiropractor, I personally recommend the Sleep Number bed to ensure your comfort. Remember make price a non-issue. We spend 1/3rd of our lives in bed so we must ensure the highest quality rest possible. The sleep number bed virtually guarantees your comfort because the firmness of the bed is so variable. This is the solution for couples with different mattress preferences. No longer will one person be left to toss and turn. It is so common for households to spend $1000’s on a fancy couch and a flat screen T.V. but want to sneak by with a $300 bed. Does this make sense? No way! Where did you get your bed? Do you remember? How old is it? Do you even know? If you cannot even answer these questions then skip the rest of the article and go order a sleep number bed. Seriously, invest in your rest and do not spend another night on a bed that is hurting you.

You have now heard the essentials of sleep. Ensure you are getting 7-9 hours sleep on the highest quality bed. A sleep deficiency or poor quality of sleep can have devastating effects on a persons body, emotions and overall health. In fact, a poor nights sleep could be leaving you stressed and craving sugar. A lack of quality sleep could actually be making you fat!

Make health and wellness a top priority now. You owe it to yourself. Ensure optimal function of your nervous system by committing to regular chiropractic care. Implement a regular exercise routine and healthier eating habits. Last, get more sleep and a higher quality of sleep through a top quality bed. Aim for 7-9 hours of undisturbed sleep on a consistent schedule each night. Go to bed within 1/2 hour of your scheduled time each night and get up at the same time every day. When you follow this simple plan you will experience unbelievable changes in the way you feel, your energy and your attitude.

Thank you for reading “Your Health.” I am Dr. Shaun Stuto and I wish you a life of abundance.

Transforming Our Behaviors For Massive Change!

Feb 3

Posted by Dr. Shaun Stuto in back pain | No Comments

Today I made a conscious decision to get out of my comfort zone and REALLY mix things up! Normally I train at an overcrowded, low-energy 24 hour fitness. It is just a gym to me and nothing special beyond that.

Golds Gym Venice is a 45 minute drive from my home so I decided to forgo the usual cardio at 24 Hour and take advantage of living so close to the Mecca. I could feel the difference the moment I walked in. The energy was so tangible you could slice it with a knife. The gym is frequented by bodybuilders, actors/actresses, athletes and normal folks who want to train at the most notable gym on the planet.

Today was just a cardio day. I warmed up for a few minutes on the treadmill and to my left was actor Ray Liotta! Cool! After warming up, I decided to do elliptical instead of treadmill and moved across the room, giving me a different vantage point. Right in front of me there is well known Bodybuilder Dennis James with legendary trainer Charles Glass pumping away. Then Stone Cold Steve Austin goes walking by! Is this place for real? I’m not star struck. It did feel strange though to be surrounded by so many well known folk’s all inside the same room. An old friend from college, and pro-bowler, Brendan Ayanbadejo came up and chatted for a few minutes. I hadn’t seen him in 5 years. The trip to Gold’s was worth it already! On the way out, I see Tito Raymond training a client and Shawn Ray and Lonnie Teper coming in to do a shoot for Ironman magazine’s preview of the upcoming Arnold Classic. What a start to the day!

This is not a TMZ story about celebrity sitings. The story proves that breaking out of the “ordinary” routine offers up the possibility of “extraordinary” occurrences in life. Hold that thought…

After leaving the gym, I went for breakfast at the Firehouse, a famous bodybuilders diner just walking distance from Golds Venice. The menu is “bodybuilder” friendly and has outstanding food. Egg whites and oatmeal were on the menu for me because I was keeping things clean. On my way back to my truck, I stopped off at Max Muscle owned by Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. There was another adventure in store for me and I did not want to miss a meal, so I purchased 3 meal replacements.

Bound for Hollywood, I left Venice. I drove up Sunset Blvd and past Mel’s Diner, The Standard, Saddleranch and other famous locales. I continued on up into the foothills and arrived at the trail head for the world famous Hollywood sign. This is the most photographed and well known landmark in Hollywood. Why had I never been?

I set out on an hour long hike to get up close and personal with the sign, carrying only a camera and bottle of water. I have only hiked a few times in my life and not for many years. I certainly do not claim to be a hiker. Wow did those hills feel amazing on my legs though. The weather was sunny and the sky was crisp and blue. The incredible weather seemed to warm me from the inside out. How thrilling it was to be up there! I even took my shirt off and worked on my tan since the weather was so nice. Keep in mind that this is February. How many places on earth can you feel warm enough to jog without a shirt at this time of the year?

I jogged and hiked to as close as legally possible to the sign. I proudly took a few pictures with the famed sign in the background before turning to head back. I discovered that trail running is not easy, and it is definitely not a treadmill. I toughed it out and jogged all the way to the bottom of the hill and my legs are sore now!

I thought of a great lesson today taught to me in a personal development seminar. The speaker admitted that the habits which enabled him to become a multi-millionaire were keeping him from becoming a billionaire. What a re-frame! This man has tremendous financial success and he understands and admits that the actions which allowed him to become highly successful in the eyes of most are keeping him from the next level.

I have never been a hiker nor would I have ever been interested in hiking in the past. What if the difference between an ultra-fit person and the average Joe was only one hike per month? I never would have known because it wasn’t my habit. The concept is lets look at all areas of our lives and see how we can shake them up even more.

Respected businessman and billionaire Bill Gates struggles with creativity at times like any other human. He once drove a different route home from work each day for an entire year and never repeated himself. New neural pathways literally formed in his brain from the forced behavior and lead to massive changes in his personal and professional life.

For you this could mean, trying new foods, spices or a different running route. Maybe a new gym or new workout partner. Perhaps not eating the same thing twice in a week/month etc… to force yourself to really develop a long list of foods and meals that you enjoy. What a great way to help guarantee long-term fitness success and ultimately transformation!

A mind once expanded can never contract to its original size. The actions, attitudes and behaviors that got you where you are today are almost certainly holding you back from what you really want. The people who excel at something you would like to behave much differently than you and use time differently than you. Bill Phillips is a famous entrepreneur and mega-millionaire. In the movie he created 10 years ago, Body Of Work, he explained how he once dreamed of owning a red Lamborghini. It was the pinnacle of success for him. Once he set his mind on it, he changed his attitude and behaviors to materialize the car and attain “success” as he had defined it. The red Lamborghini turned into a stepping stone and new starting point for much greater financial success later in his life.

For all of you, everything begins in thought. Whether you want a better body, to look younger, vibrant health, an attractive mate etc…you must apply the information and strategies discussed. We have discussed a lot of strategy and given great examples of changing things up in your life can bring about dramatic changes. Doesn’t the process seem easier now?

Have an AWESOME DAY!

Statistically 80 percent of all back problems can be prevented because 80 percent of back problems can be traced back to muscle strain, poor back usage habits, and degenerative disc disease left untreated.

So, why do these injuries occur? Well first we should understand the components of the spine. It is made up of 24 moveable small bones called vertebrae. The vertebrae are stacked up on top of each other like small blocks and between each one of the vertebrae are gel like discs, which act like shock absorbers.

Connecting the spinal bones, holding them in their proper place are rubber bands called ligaments. Muscles are also connected to the spinal bones by way of tendons. As your muscles activate, they are responsible for moving the spinal bones, which in turn moves your lower and upper body.

Normally, the average human lower body weighs about 105 pounds. Due to earth’s gravity, a 10 pound object added to the weight of the human lower body creates approximately 1150 pounds of pressure on your lower back. If you are 25 pounds excessive weight, which seems to be very common, you are placing another 250 pounds of pressure on your lower back every time you bend over or try to pick something up. This is a really surprising or shocking statistic.

So what’s the big deal? Well, every time you lift a pressure begins in the center core of your disc and that pressure will push out from the inner core toward the outside of the disc. If there is too much pressure, the outer disc fibers will actually begin to tear. If enough fibers are eventually damage from lifting too much or even just plain lifting wrong the outer walls of the disc become weak to the point where literally the inner core can bulge through the outer fibers and pinch or put pressure on the spinal nerve. That is what happens when a person has a “slipped” disc.

The problem is, the outer disc fibers in the lower back begin tearing anytime you exceed 1500 lbs. pressure on your lower back.

Most back pain sufferers feel that one particlular event or single incident started or caused their lower back pain or back injury. The reality of the matter is, less than 5 percent of all back problems or injuries can be blamed on one single injury or incident.

About ninety-five percent of back problems seem to build up over time. Big problems come about gradually over long periods of time until a singular simple small movement causes you to “throw your back out” and cause alot of pain. We all know the “straw that broke the camels back” story.

So, how can you sway the statistics in your favor? Firstly, learn good back habits. Secondly, get your spine thoroughly checked by a qualified chiropractic healthcare professional. In my practice I specialize in the assessment and treatment of all types of spinal and joint conditions.

Chiropractors Not Only For Paid Participants!

Chiropractors have become very famous among sports players. Once the news was out and that chiropractic care could treat more than sore backs their waiting rooms were filled to overflowing with people eagerly awaiting their turn for treatment. Chiropractic care has become a sort of hidden secret for success in sports.

The use of this type of care has been examined thoroughly across National Football League teams in the US. When asked about chiropractic care use and referral most answered that they had been treated personally by a chiropractor.

A big percentage of NFL teams use chiropractors in an official role, as part of their personnel, but almost all trainers had referred a patient to a chiropractor outside their payroll for evaluation or treatment. Additionally, the athletic trainers in the NFL also profess that many players continue to seek and use chiropractors without any referral from medical staff.

With chiropractors being so proficient and familiar with spinal problems and injuries, it is a no-brainer that they would have so many players referred to them, but it doesn’t stop there with coaches and office staff also utilizing them. Even the athletes of today are beginning to understand just how big of a difference there is between medical physicians and chiropractic physicians.

Chiropractic care is not a privilege of football athletes; many other athletes engaged in many different sports count on chiropractic care. John Stockton for one. While admitting his lack of knowledge regarding chiropractic, he also noted that the continued treatment offered by his chiropractor has helped keep him healthy. He knew it dealt with balancing muscles and general health. He claimed that in tandem with is family, he has benefited so much from chiropractic treatment that it is the single most contributing factor in the length and success of his career.

With such a huge amount of evidence and testimonial from high profile athletes, not only athletes, but even sedentary people have reaped tremendous benefits from chiropractic treatment.
