  • Get Positive

The simple act of deciding to be happier and focus on the positive will improve your health. Just as negative emotions can weaken the body's resistance level, positive emotions can give us strength, or at least allow our bodies to function normally. Therefore, the simple act of deciding to be happier and focus on the positive will improve your health. In fact, the phenomenon of your thoughts affecting your physical health is so strong that all medical studies have to be designed with it in mind. Researchers call this 'the placebo effect.'

Many people believe that the term 'placebo effect' means that the effect is only imagined - that it is not real. But this couldn't be further from the truth. Medical studies have to include a control group - people who receive placebos instead of the medicine being studied - because the simple act of people making the decision to take action to improve their health leads to measurable physical improvement in their condition. To determine the effects of a particular medicine, researchers have to measure the change in the group who underwent therapy and subtract out the amount of change seen in the placebo group. Otherwise, there is no way to know whether a particular treatment was beneficial or whether it was merely the change in attitude in the study subjects that made the difference. In many instances, the placebo effect turns out to be stronger than the treatment itself! The point is that if you want to have a healthy body you also have to have healthy thoughts and emotions. Just as it is important to avoid toxic chemicals, it is also necessary to avoid toxic thoughts to enjoy optimal health.

  • Relationship with Self
    Category: Healthy Thinking, Get Positive

    Your relationship with your self is the most important relationship because as they say wherever you go there you are. Wellness begins with "being" well first and then is about "doing" things to be well. If you do not address who you are being than just doing things will not make you well. A simple way

  • Positive Affirmations
    Category: Healthy Thinking, Get Positive

    We function a lot like computers: Garbage in produces garbage out, while great stuff in produces great stuff out. We talk to ourselves far more than we talk to others. In fact, most experts agree that about 80 percent of all conversations we have are with ourselves. All too often, we talk to ourselves

  • Relationships with Others
    Category: Healthy Thinking, Get Positive

    Relationships are important for good emotional health. Numerous studies have shown that people who have close friends and intimate relationships are healthier, happier, and live longer. In fact, the simple act of petting a dog, holding a child, or seeing someone you love causes a decrease in stress hormones

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I have seen both Dr. Tiffany and Dr. Tyler for the last couple years and they are great. Never feel rushed, they take the time to listen and to help find the cause and or right treatment. All 3 of my kids go to them and they are great with sports injuries, hip dysplasia, or heartburn and jaw/teeth issues or just a good adjustment. Thank you"
    Melynda M.
  • "I could not be more thankful for these amazing people. I see Dr. Tiffany about once a month for my migraines and she always has me leaving feeling a million times better. I had gone to countless chiropractors when I was in college and started seeing Tiffany my senior year and it has made all the difference in how I feel. I can go weeks without migraines instead of getting them weekly!"
    Kelly D.
  • "Dr. Kaylee is amazing! She takes her time to ensure she gets a good adjustment and gets you feeling better & listens to any concerns you have. I was in so much pain the slightest tough had me cringing but she was gentle & got an adjustment done with the least amount of discomfort as possible."
    Mandy K.
  • "Always so professional, caring, and great with young athletes and students! Teaching them proper ways to stretch or what to do to prevent strains or stress. So friendly and warm!"
    LeeAnn E.
  • "I've been going to Sioux Center Chiropractic for years, and I've come to rely on the professional care and friendly assistance that I receive there! I really appreciate how Dr. Tyler not only does the traditional adjustments, but he does extra stretches with my neck and back to really help me get the full mobility that I'm looking for. The staff and doctors here are awesome--I won't go anywhere else in Sioux Center!"
    Rachel H.
  • "Seriously people...Armstrong chiropractic has to be the most awesome and kind place ever...here I run in to pick up some greens and they are busy so I decide to stop back later and next thing I know it's on my doorstep with a simple sweet note! If you are looking for someone to go the extra mile in anything, they are the place to be! They care so much and do so many things for all their clients! Love always getting a friendly smile and having a nice chat when I'm in there!"
    Brooke B. Sioux Center, IA
