Great Chiropractors Few and Far Between, Evidently

I’m not bragging. If you want to hear what’s so great about me, Sharon Martinez, D.C., talk to the guys in this photo. The man on the right is my dad, and if you’ve seen him around the office, you know he is a cheerful guy and a joke-teller, in spite of the fact that we’ve made him go vegan for his health. He’s also the greatest fan of...

New Patient Special Offer $25.00

Part of my Healthier Lifestyle is my kali training. Kali is a Filipino martial art that is little known to many, having been handed down from generation to generation in backyard training sessions up until recently. My instructor, Guro Jason Cruz, has been instrumental in studying with, filming and documenting the old kali masters and introducing this fighting art to a wider audience. Jason will be going to Belgium...

Sharon Martinez, Chiropractor vs. Prilosec for Stomach Pain

$13,900,000,000.00. That’s 13.9 billion dollars spent in the U.S. on prescriptions for proton pump inhibitors, or PPI’s, yearly, according to a 2010 Archives of Internal Medicine report. Drugs like Prilosec give temporary relief from heartburn, indigestion, or, if you like medical terminology, “gastro-esophageal reflux disorder.” People in the U.S. are the top consumers of prescription drugs, using 40.6% of the global market supply of these drugs. In comparison, Canadians...

Periodic Cleansing With Herbs

We try to lead a healthier lifestyle, but there’s no way to avoid accumulating some toxins in our everyday lives. Many of us use chemicals on the job, or work near factories that emit fumes. Your neighbor might spray his weeds with poison. A popular hair treatment has been recently found to contain questionable amounts of formaldehyde (more on that here). It may be that you’ve been on drugs...

Closed Saturday for Camping

I’ll be out of the office Saturday, September 17. Going camping. To quote Stephen Francis Jones, a leading L.A. architect recently featured in the Los Angeles Times, “I have a really strong feeling that living a good lifestyle transforms into doing good work.” To staying in balance! To your health, Sharon Martinez D.C. or Chiropractic Advantage, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Home is Where the Chiropractor is…

Here’s proof that the Martinez family believes in chiropractic wellness care. Note the red adjusting table in the background behind my studious and handsome son, Ben and his little niece, “Baby G.” Getting adjusted is just part of the normal routine for family and friends who enter our home. Ben was about as old as Baby G when he got his first chiropractic exam from Dr. Francis Kelleher, a...

Recent Research turns out to be Prunes

There’s something called the California Dried Plum Board–who knew? And, they are out to help the USDA prove that eating prunes can improve bone density in postmenopausal women. Prefer to peruse the prune research paper personally? Here it is: Comparative effects of dried plum and dried apple on bone in postmenopausal women Shirin Hooshmand,Sheau C. Chai,Raz L. Saadat,Mark E. Payton,Kenneth Brummel-Smith and Bahram H. Arjmandi British Journal of Nutrition,...

Keep on Truckin’

A medical doctor, a lawyer, and a trucker are having lunch together at the local diner. Which one would you trust to best explain chiropractic to you? I hope you picked the trucker. For many years, truckers and chiropractors have had a sort of symbiotic relationship. The truckers keep chiropractors busy, and we keep them working. For a guy (or gal) who is self-employed, being unable to drive because...
