You can cut down the weeds, but if you never pull the roots, they’ll just keep coming back!!!

Have you dealt with the same nagging issue over and over again? Just when you think you have your headaches, low back pain or muscle tension under control, it comes right back and interrupts your day. You have been stretching, walking and doing your workouts, but it just still seems to bother you. YEP, I have been there and so have many others! 

Are you ready to take control and get it taken care of so it doesn’t have to bother you anymore? 

Secondary conditions, or symptoms are most commonly a result of a primary condition or an underlying issue. They are just warning signs from your body that something isn’t working right.

If we chased the symptoms, or just picked the weed, it will keep coming back again… right!? If we dig out the root, or  as in your spine, if we correct the primary condition, we can get rid of the weed and issue and not have to deal with it over and over again! 

Correction is not a quick fix. Think about how long your symptoms have been there. How long were they there before you realized it? Healing takes time, but the end reward of health is so worth it! 

Quick fixes only last for a few days, months or years, but then the primary condition has had time to progress. The progression makes it harder and harder for us to get it corrected. Don’t wait when it comes to your health!

Here at our office, we don’t want to only focus on getting rid of your symptoms. We focus on Neuro-Structural correction. Correcting the areas in the spine that are affecting the nervous system function are the primary issue that is causing the symptoms to be there in the first place. This allows us to keep the secondary conditions from coming back again —> CORRECTIVE CARE!!!

In turn, you get to really enjoy daily activities and hobbies that you were once unable. You get to really enjoy being healthy.

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced chicken breast (about 3 large chicken breasts)
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I use fat free)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce)
  • 2 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrots, and/or mini bell peppers for dippers

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • (Optional) Add the cottage cheese and yogurt to a food processor and blend until smooth. (We prefer the dip to be smoother without the curds of cottage cheese, but completely optional.)
    1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I use fat free),1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
  • In a large bowl, add all ingredients EXCEPT 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well.
    • 4 cups diced chicken breast (about 3 large chicken breasts)
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided,
    • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce),
    • 2 Tablespoon ranch seasoning mix,
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt,
    • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • Pour buffalo chicken dip mixture into greased pan. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until sides are bubbling and cheese in melted. You can broil for a couple minutes to brown the cheese on top.
  • Serve hot and store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator for a few days.
    Dip with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrots, and/or mini bell peppers.
