DeSaro Chiropractic Center Review




Located in Richboro, PA the DeSaro Chiropractic Center is not only a "must visit" spot for those experiencing back pain and/or neck pain but also to deal with various other general health issues. Did you know that a chiropractic adjustment can boost your immune system by 400%??? Well, neither did I until Amy Cons (Office Manager at DeSaro Chiropractic Center) informed me of such. "What a difference an adjustment would make for those that are constantly sick."

Visiting a chiropractor can help you deal with a number of conditions. In some cases, a visit to the chiropractor can take away the need for painkillers or at least reduce it. According to Chirobase, an online guide to the history, theories and practices of chiropractics, a number of randomized controlled trial, or RCT, have shown the many benefits for those with spinal issues. According to Chirobase, a number of RCT have shown that patients who use chiropractic care to treat lower back pain have a 34 percent higher improvement in recovery over those who use other methods.

Neck pain is second only to lower back pain as a reason for visiting a chiropractor, reports Chirobase. Fewer studies have been conducted on the efficacy of manipulation and mobilization to treat neck pain. A 1996 study published in the British Medical Journal showed that people who were treated by a chiropractor showed more improvement than those who used a different type of therapy. Headaches that are related to tension or neck pain also can be helped with chiropractic care. According to Arn Strasser, a chiropractor and writer for Spine Universe, chiropractors can treat a number of conditions associated with neck pain, including joint injuries and strained muscles, but they will refer more serious problems, such as fractures, to the appropriate doctor. 

According to Chirobase, chiropractic care has been used to treat a number of conditions not connected to the musculoskeletal systems. This includes hypertension, dizziness/vertigo and chronic pelvic pain. Results are mixed. The University of Maryland Medical Center points out that the following conditions are often treated through chiropractic care: digestive problems, fatigue, premenstrual pain and asthma.



According to the DeSaro Center, "Chiropractic is about performance."
Keep your high performance vehicle in tip-top shape instead of chasing symptoms. Get in for regular “tune-ups.”
Dr. Andrew DeSaro specializes in chiropractic for prenatal and pediatrics patients and Dr. Kristi DeSaro specializes in performance enhancement for the athlete.

Benefits of the Holistic Lifestyle

Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses on illness or specific parts of the body, holistic medicine considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. This approach also looks at how each individual interacts with their environment, believing that we are not separate from our surroundings. Holistic alternative medicine encompasses a wide array of time proven treatments that include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, aromatherapy, massage, chiropractic, homeopathy, and reflexology. Holistic medicine also incorporates traditional medical tests and treatments where appropriate. In holistic health, each individual is an active participant in their treatment and takes responsibility for the daily choices that contribute to—or detract from—their level of health. 

A holistic lifestyle will vary according to each individual’s medical condition(s), stresses and available social support. In holistic health, it is assumed that each individual, regardless of their state of health or disease, can improve their state of well-being through healthy lifestyle choices. A proper diet provides the essential nutrients, or building blocks, to create new healthier cells (the body continuously replaces cells); reducing harmful substances including alcohol, nicotine, and drugs, reduces stress on the body’s systems; the right exercise improves mood, energy levels, and flexibility; and cultivating positive mental attitudes and eliminating negative messages from people, media, and entertainment promotes self esteem.

The Benefits of Holistic Medicine
Focusing on the whole person, including the individual as a partner in improving health, cultivating a positive lifestyle, and using an array of alternative and sometimes allopathic modalities as appropriate promotes greater vitality and well-being and also naturally motivates each individual to continue towards a greater state of health.


Get Healthy provides literature and consultations to make your switch today. It all starts with that first step and believing that it can be achieved.

What every Body needs

Quality Soaps Explained:
 dr bronner's soaps
Soaps have been made for millennia. Aside from making fire and cooking food, "saponifying" oil and fat into soap is one of the oldest and simplest chemical reactions known to humankind. In fact, the first soaps were accidentally made by fat dripping into the ashes of cooking fires.
Soap is made by saponifying a fat or oil with an alkali. A fat or oil is a "triglyceride," which means that three fatty acids of various carbon lengths are attached to a glycerine backbone. The alkali is either sodium (for bars) or potassium (for liquids) hydroxide, made by running electricity through salt water.
The saponification process is a simple one-step reaction with no waste generated: the glycerine is split off from the fatty acids, and the fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, while the hydroxide forms water. The result is soap, glycerin and water (no alkali remains in our soaps).
Quality soap-making consists in great part of choosing the right proportions of the right oils with their different fatty acids. Most commercial soap manufacturers skimp on quality because of cost and use lots of tallow from beef fat with a little bit of coconut or palm kernel oil.
Dr. Bronner's unsurpassed soaps are made with certified organic olive, hemp and palm oils instead of tallow, and contain three times more organic coconut oil than commercial soaps. Saponified coconut oil generates high-lather cleansing even in hard water because it has shorter-chain saturated fatty acids. Hemp, olive and palm oil-based soaps make a mild, smooth, creamy lather because these oils contain longer-chain unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids.

Other Ways Dr. Bronner's Makes Higher-Quality Soap

  • Unlike most commercial soap-makers who distill the glycerin out of their soaps to sell separately, Dr. Bronner's retains it in their soaps for its superb moisturizing qualities.
  • We superfat our soaps with organic hemp and jojoba oils for a milder, smoother lather.
  • We use natural plant-derived vitamin E and citric acid to protect freshness.
  • We do not add any chelating agents, dyes, whiteners or synthetic fragrances.
  • We use pure and powerful high-quality certified organic essential oils.
  • Our liquid soaps are 3 times more concentrated than most so-called "liquid soaps" on the market, and are only a few percent away from being a solid, which ecologically saves on packaging materials.
  • Our new plastic cylinder bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic.
  • Our soaps are a superb value, costing less than less-concentrated, inferior detergent body-wash "liquid soaps."
  • Our soaps are most popular for at-home washing, but they also are the soap of choice for many campers and hikers, as they are so biodegradable and nature-friendly.
