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.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I first came to see Dr. Canzano about neck and back pain. Dr. Canzano came highly recommended from a wonderful friend of mine who was also a patient. I was in constant pain and had chronic headaches and migraines. I was also taking a lot of pain medication which was only masking my problems. Dr. Canzano's holistic approach to treatment has been a very positive and rewarding one for me. Her advice about diet, nutrition, and exercise has been invaluable to me.

    This is a very special practice -- more like good friends or family. It is a warm, friendly and peaceful place that nurtures the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. Shirl's healing hands and welcoming personality are a critical part of the practice. She is a gifted massage therapist with incredible skills and intuition.

    I have recommended many friends and family members and continue to do so. I honestly don't know what I would do without the care this practice provides."

  • "I came to see Dr. Canzano because of shoulder pain and headaches. I was experiencing decreased activity and concentration. After a few visits, my co-workers started commenting that I was smiling again! I feel better generally when I have regular adjustments."

  • "I was searching for an Activator chiropractor. I had chronic and debilitating neck pain from too many auto accidents. My experience at Canzano Chiropractic has been incredible. Sometimes the adjustments give immediate relief. The nurturing, healing environment, the whole health counseling, massage and alternative healthcare give me whole body healing.

    Canzano Chiropractic offers me a holistic alternative to healthcare, giving myself and my body the assistance to heal. They care about the well being of their patients."
