Let me ask you a question then paint a picture of a scenario that you could be faced with someday.  Here we go……..

What would happen if the foundation of your house sunk down on one side by just a couple of inches?  Would it be reasonable to suggest that your floorboards would creak a little?  Would you expect to start seeing cracks in your drywall?  How about the windows?  Would you expect them to open smoothly or not so smoothly?  Would it be reasonable to expect there to be problems with you roof as a result of this shift?

As you probably have guessed, the PROBLEM is a strutural shift.  Traditional doctors, regardless of what area of healthcare in which they fall, typically look at correcting the SECONDARY CONDITIONS, rather than focusing on the underlying cause.  The traditional doctor would put an extra nail or two into your floor to stop it from creaking, would patch up your drywall, and would put a little WD40 around the window to help things move a littel smoother.  Will all of those measures FIX the problem?

What would you do FIRST if this were YOUR home?  That’s right- you’d get our of that house for a short time and let someone who focuses on repairing structural problems, come to your home and fix the foundation.  After that,  and after a little work on the secondary effects from the shift in the foundation, you’re good to go.  Does that make sense?

Well, Dr. Lasko is not the person you want coming over to fix the foundation of your home, but he IS the doctor you will want if you have a structural problem of your spine or skeletal frame.  Last week he explained to our group how what he does is not of the traditional ways of chiropractic, which addresses only secondary conditions by a means to decrease muscular spasm, increase joint mobility, and reduce pain.  He instead focuses on the structural correction of the spine by utilizing structural corrective adjusting methods, structural remodeling traction, and supportive strucutral exercises, in an effort to correct structural shifts.

Dr. Lasko’s office is in fact the only one from here down to Santa Barbara and up to Mountain View which focuses on this way of care.

So whether you already see a traditional chiropractor now and are frustrated with the continual care that seems to have no long-term results, or you have never been to a chiropractor before and are considering your options to resolving a pain complaint you’ve had for awhile, Dr. Lasko is by far a doctor you need to call and set up a free consultation to discuss the possibilities that he may be able to help you.

Before turning to prescription medications, or wasting your time in physical therapy, or getting those coritcosteroid injections, or heaven for bid, pursuing more invasive procedures (AKA surgery), consider first……….if you want results, long-lasting results,  then call Dr. Lasko and start your journey towards long-lasting maximum health.

Doran Poma Skin Care

Speakers of the Week No Comments »

You know, it’s not everyday that you see a business professional WALK THEIR TALK.  And notice, I did say, professional.  Though the implication is that one would represent their business in such a way as to make a lasting first impression to others, that’s not always the case.  But with one of our newer members to the chapter, she clearly walks that line of professionalism!

Doran Poma is our newest Esthetician/Makeup Artist.

She gave a presentation to our group a couple of weeks ago to give an overview of her services.  Quite frankly, as thorough of a job that she did, she could have just stood up there, on a pedalstool and just simply have said, “Come here, look at my skin, look at my make-up, any questions?”

Doran is highly qualified and licensed to legally touch your skin and uses nothing but top-notch, pharmaceutical grade products as she wants nothing but the best for your skin health and looks.

Her stellar services include:
- Facial Treatments
- Body Treatments
- Makeup Services
- Waxing

What are you doing still reading this post?  Call Doran now to start taking care of the largest organ of your body…..your skin.

Oh, and when you meet with her, be prepared to sit back, relax and breathe.

Safety First Repair and Maintenance

Speakers of the Week No Comments »

Valerie Hassler our chapter’s HandyGirl spoke on electrical safety. If you have appliances or equipment that needs juice Valerie has the expertise to power you up. If you have breakers that often pop you can’t take care of the issue by putting a larger breaker in; this will cause an overload to happen and can cause a fire in the home. Never bypass breakers or put more of a load than an outlet can handle. Instead call Valerie and let her insure that your electrical needs are met in a safe manner. Valerie also spoke on Dimmer Switches in the home. If you have a dimmer switch that is hot to the touch chances are you have a dimmer switch that is not rated for the wattage; Valerie can asses the issue and determine if there is a better dimmer switch for your needs. Valerie is versed in all aspects of electrical, plumbing, handy work, and construction. No job is out of the ordinary; call Valerie for your handy work today!

Another Great Business Mixer

LeTip Sponsored Events No Comments »

It’s always a great time generating business leads, laughing, eating, and “putting dollars in our pockets”. There was a great mixture of new folks along with our devoted Monterey Chapter LeTip Members.

All of the Monterey LeTip members created special showboat displays. This one was special due to everyone creating fantastic showboats. A showboat is a visual display that articulates what each members business does. The wait-staff at the Islands Restaurant judged our showboats … and the winner was Dr. Shawn Lasko of HEALTHMAX Chiropractic, whom at our next Business Mixer will get to have a designated table solely to his craft. Congratulations Dr. Lasko!

We had an interesting draw of potential new members, an up and coming Catering business, a life coach , dentist, actress and singer, to name a few and all of whom seemed very excited to have come to the mixer to learn about our businesses and what LeTip can offer them.

We look forward to what our next Business Mixer may bring.

Testimonials No Comments »

Douglas Robinson owner of Robinson Carpet Care

LeTip of Monterey has enriched my carpet and upholstery cleaning business by providing me with loyal customers who require the highest quality of service. I have been the owner-operator of Robinson Carpet Care since 1987, and I have advertised my company in newspapers, using both column and classified ads. Other methods of promotion have been employed. I have used local radio advertising and I have targeted specific communities with the bulk mailing of coupons. The yellow pages of our local telephone directories provided me with display ads as well as coupons. All of these promotional tools have generated business for my company, yet LeTip of Monterey is a completely unique method for growing and promoting my carpet cleaning business.

Every week I meet with my LeTip chapter. We are a group of local business operators, each member representing a specific business category. At our meeting, we promote our own business to our fellow LeTip members. We give each other the names of prospective customers who are expecting a call. In addition to the contacts given at our weekly meetings, my fellow members call me throughout the week providing me the names of those requiring my service. These LeTip members are my sales force.

When I contact a potential customer who has been referred to me by a fellow LeTip member, this potential customer knows about me and is ready to schedule a job. These customers quickly become loyal to me as they already have with LeTip member who referred me. These new customers become my repeat customers. As an owner-operator of a small business, my time is precious, and the LeTip membership allows me to focus on providing quality service to my customers rather than constantly answering the telephone and attempting to generate business by undercutting the competition. LeTip of Monterey is enabling me to establish my service in the finest homes and offices on the Monterey Peninsula.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Speakers of the Week No Comments »

This morning, we were presented with the exuberant topic of Long-Term Care Insurance by Mary Myles, of Primerica Ins.  Using props such as adult size diapers and a walker were enough to impact us on the gravity of the consequences for ignoring such later stage-0f-life.  We all may have shared the thought of our kids taking care of us someday………..but the reality is, are they who we really want to change our poopie diapers and carry us to and from the bath?  Why should we burden those we love?  Won’t it be hard enough for them to watch our deteriorating health condition already?

Good thing we know Mary Myles to educate us on our options!  Perhaps she could help you be prepared?

UPS Store

Needing to ship something as large as a bed or perhaps a car?  How about send a Christmas tree to Hawaii?  Need to have a package sent and held at a UPS store until you arrive from out of town?  Or perhaps you want to pay for the shipping of a package for a loved one in another state? 

If any of the above questions touches on things you’ve wondered, well we all learned the other day that at the UPS Store at 1130 Fremont Blvd. handles all those situations and MUCH MORE!  Stephen Sleeper and his wife own the store and make customer service their absolute #1 priority!  Stephen amazed us all in his presentation as he touched on stories of each of the above scenarios.

It’s great to know we have a UPS store we can turn to for ANY of our shipping and packaging needs!
