Pregnancy Health Care

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

Pregnancy Health Care

Eating right, moving right, and adjusting right is essential for positive pregnancy health care.  Your master control system (nerve system) needs to be functioning on all gears to enjoy your pregnancy.  Neurological stimulation from MOVEMENT charges the brain’s batteries.  Chiropractors provide specific movement (adjustment’s) to your spinal region, thus decreasing interference, thus resulting in pregnancy health care.  Healthy functioning spine = healthy functioning reproductive system.  Emotional stress can lead to fear-based pregnancy.  Pregnancy health care does not come in the form of shot’s, pill’s, unnecessary ultrasounds, blueberry enema’s and whatever has been happening in recent years.  If you are eating right, your body does not have to stress about breaking down horrible toxic food.  If you are moving right (exercising), your body knows what to do.  If you are having your nerve system checked by a chiropractor, your body is adjusting and adapting to the stress placed on it.

Eating right and moving right should be self-explanatory.  Chiropractic though (hopefully chiropractic will be self-explanatory as well)?  Chiropractic is just not about sore backs.  “The function of the nervous system is to perceive the environment and coordinate the behavior of all other cells” Dr. Bruce Liption, PhD Biologist.  Chiropractors check for dysfunction in the nerve system.  A pregnant mother is developing a new individual.  That new individual probably needs some new cells right, just among some other things?  Pregnancy health care is not a medical process.  For instance, awesome individuals like Fern Creek Midwives are here to assist you through this awesome experience.  Fear-based pregnancy is not the way to go.  Eat right, move right, have your nerves checked, have some awesome midwives or “alternative” means of having the pregnancy you want.  Pregnancy health care should not be complicated.

Your Kid’s Health

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

Your Kid’s Health

Your kid’s health and the chiropractor?  Doesn’t something have to be “wrong” with your body if you are going to the chiropractor?  No, in fact having your kids seen by a chiropractor will promote a strong healthy life.  Spinal health is related to general health, so take care of your spine.  Your kid’s health is controlled and regulated by the main body system that coordinates ALL body functions; the nerve system.  Chiropractic is safe and effective for your kid’s health.  90% of your kid’s neurological development is completed within the first six years of life.  Makes complete sense to have your kids checked for possible subluxation’s (nerve dysfunction).  Nerve dysfunction can and does exist without us knowing about it.    Your overall health as you “grow-up” is directly affected by how you take care of your nerve system.

Understanding how your body is wired is important to realizing how you function.  Your brain and your nerve system controls everything you do.  As our kids are growing, their nerve system is controlling their motor, sensory and autonomic nerve development. Which in turn is controlling their organs, cell’s, tissue’s, gland’s, ligament’s, muscles, and everything you can think of.  Any dysfunction that your body gives you can be related back to the nerve system.  Why and how can it be traced back to the nerve system?  Simple, as stated before, your body’s main system is the nerve system.  If your kid has a possible subluxation then their body will elicit signs and symptoms.  To support your kid’s health as they develop, your chiropractor will access their nerve system to maintain proper function and stability.  Have your kid’s health checked for possible subluxations.

The Chiropractic Skeptic Guide

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

The Chiropractic Skeptic Guide

The Chiropractic skeptic has and will always be a part of our profession.  Who is this chiropractic skeptic?  Well, unfortunately it is someone who has “tried” chiropractic before and probably had a bad experience. The chiropractic skeptic could be someone who has never ever been to a chiropractor before.  In both instances there needs to be a remedy.  For the first chiropractic skeptic, who had a bad experience, we would say just because you “tried” a chiropractor doesn’t mean you experienced chiropractic.  A specific, principled chiropractor that goes after the cause of your condition and not treating symptoms is where you need to be.  Chiropractic is having your nerve system accessed for possible dysfunction, thus leading to signs and symptoms.  Experience a chiropractor who checks and if necessary adjusts subluxations.

The chiropractic skeptic who has never experienced chiropractic before.  They might simply think they don’t have pain, so don’t need to see a chiropractor.  To that we say, chiropractors are nerve system specialists.  Your central nerve system is the master controller, branched off of your central nerve system: motor nerves, sensory nerves, and autonomic nerves.  Sensory nerves feeling the actual “pain” is extremely small.  Nerve tension can and does exist without the actual sensation of “pain”.  Hence, why chiropractors check for possible subluxations.  Have to make sure your motor nerves, autonomic nerves and sensory nerves are functioning correctly.  There is a vast difference between how you feel and how you function.  Chiropractors are concerned with how your nerve system functions as one unit together.  Chiropractors do not take away nor do they give you anything for your body.  If your master control system is functioning at 100%, then your organs, cells, tissues, and glands are functioning at 100%.  Granted this is just a short blog.  There is ton’s of information for the chiropractic skeptic that will answer any doubt or thought process.  All you have to do is ask.

Positive Fever Symptoms

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

Positive Fever Symptoms

Immediately we begin to question this entire statement and think, are there actually positive fever symptoms?  This starts the entire discussion of fever symptoms and either letting the fever run its course or trying to manage the symptoms immediately.  Simple fevers up to 104 F are safe and effective for what our body is doing.  Controlled inflammation is necessary for your body to heal and overcome obstacles in its way.  When the first fever symptoms become apparent, do not try and mask them and lower the fever!  You have to realize that your body is smart and intelligent.  Your body will do things to make sure you are functioning at full potential.  Is a fever full potential?  Let us explore the fever symptoms and make judgments after the facts.

Your body produces a fever to stimulate a fighting response.  This happens by increasing the white blood cell count.  Your white blood cells are your body’s ultimate fighters.  Increase of white blood cells is letting your body gear up for a fight.  Positive fever symptoms are an increase of white blood cells.  This will allow your body to fight infections.  This will enable your body’s defenders to slow bacteria and viruses.  Stimulating an increase of white blood cells will allow your body to adapt and overcome invaders quicker!  So, what does fever symptoms and chiropractic have in common?  A healthy functioning nerve system at the time of a fever will allow your body’s immune system to overcome your invaders faster.  Your master controller of your body is your nerve system.  Fever symptoms are a NATURAL response from our body, conducted via our immune system, controlled by our nerve system.  

A great comparison is looking at why we heat things up to sterilize objects?  To kill things, plain and simple.  Fever symptoms are how a healthy functioning body operates.

High Blood Pressure Controlled By.

High Blood Pressure Controlled By…

It is Valentine’s Day and yes we are going to talk about high blood pressure!  We assume we have high blood pressure and we have to immediately blame our faulty heart.  The problem lies solely in the heart and nothing else is attributed to this failure.  Now, granted if you’re going out on a date with someone tonight you might have some high blood pressure or you just might be “nerve-es”.  Back to reality here.  Being chiropractors we are always and constantly checking for proper nerve function. Proper nerve function and communication is essential for a healthy life.  The vagus nerve just so happens to communicate to our heart.  Communication from your brain to your heart is via the vagus nerve.  If communication is inhibited then your heart will begin to suffer.  Guess one way how your heart lets you know you have a lack of communication?  High blood pressure!

There is a bone at the top of the neck called the Atlas vertebrae.  If the atlas bone decides to move and apply pressure to your vagus nerve, that results in a loss of communication.  With that loss of communication the organ the nerve is supposed to control suffers.  That special organ we are talking about due to Valentine’s Day is the heart!  High blood pressure is controlled and regulated by your master control system.  If you have a bad experience in life you have to find your nerve system at fault.  To make sure your body is adapting and functioning the way you want it to, have your nerves checked!  Now, are we neglecting the healthy eating and proper exercise components of this?  Not at all.  Proper exercise and nutrition go hand in hand for a healthy functioning nerve system as well as a healthy functioning cardiovascular system.  We are stating that the most important influence on your body to make sure you adapt and overcome is having a healthy functioning nerve system.  Have your nerves checked.  Happy Valentine’s Day.

The Chiropractic Facts

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

The Chiropractic Facts

People’s opinions and thoughts about what chiropractic is varies from state to state, city to city, and in some instances family to family.  The hardcore chiropractic facts are set in stone, it is just a matter of our/my generation messing it up for others.  The year was 1895 and the very first chiropractic adjustment was performed by Dr. D.D. Palmer in Davenport, IA.  The adjustment was for the restoration of a hearing loss!  That is the beginning of some chiropractic facts.  In 1895 Frederick E Blaisdell patents the pencil as well…..that is not chiropractic facts.  It is pretty important what Dr. Palmer accomplished at that time.  He also set a foundation to explore new values, principles, and an understanding of what the body is capable of.  Before the first adjustment Dr. Palmer was a magnetic healer and tried many other different types of healing arts.  After the first adjustment the study and foundation of chiropractic was established, no more magnets.

Did Dr. Palmer use some sort of blueberry enzyme soap, magnets, health plus Vit C, or some electrical laser for the first adjustment?  NO!  The only tools at his disposal were his hands.  Chiro means hand in Latin.  Practic in Latin means practice.  Chiropractors use their hands to find and locate disturbances (subluxations = a bone, muscle, tissue pressing upon a nerve thus creating dysfunction in one’s system) and adjust them.  Here are some chiropractic facts.  If somebodies master control system (nerve system) is not allowing them to adapt to their stress in life, then your body will not express its full potential.  How does someone not adapt?  Your body will give you signs and symptoms: the flu, headaches, sciatica, ADHD, acid re-flux, hemorrhoids, infertility, and indigestion…get the picture?  Chiropractic allows your body to adapt and HEAL by itself.  No gimmicks, and no possible side effects like you see on drug advertisements.  The only side effect that chiropractic produces is to express life the way you were supposed to.  Chiropractic facts.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is and should be essential for all mothers.  Most mothers out there are thinking “Isn’t that going to harm my baby?”  If you have a properly functioning nerve system, you will have less stress on your overall body.  Pregnancy is a very stressful process that is placed upon our mother’s.  This stress can add up and wreak havoc on an expecting mother.  Chiropractic care during pregnancy will improve posture, reduce the muscle pain and tension, and most importantly relieve pressure on the nerves and spine.  Chiropractic care during pregnancy may even lead to shorter labor times with less medical intervention.  Mothers are designed for birth; the less medical intervention the better.  The healthier and more natural pregnancy you have leads to healthy babies.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is solely centered around relieving pressure on the nerves and spine.  As an expecting mother’s body begins to change: tilting of the pelvis, compensating walking pattern, increased head shift, these changes begin to add up.  Head shift will often lead to neck and shoulder discomfort due to the stress your muscles are putting on your nerves.  The tilting of your pelvis to center your balance will often lead to back pain and maybe even sciatica.  Your compensating walking pattern disturbs your IT bands and inflames your hips.  All of these “Fun Changes” are happening within a shortened amount of time.  All of these changes are stressful on your body.  Chiropractic care is recommended for new and expecting mothers.  More energy during pregnancy and less discomfort sounds like a win-win.  Pregnancy is probably one of the most amazing times that we are fortunate to go through (writes the male doctor)!  Allow and give your body the relief and energy it needs naturally with chiropractic care.

Health Problems Caused By Stress

Health Problems Caused By Stress

Health problems caused by stress are far from in between.  Coming into a chiropractic office we tend to think of people with back pain or neck pain.  Yes, we do see those individuals.  The PRIMARY reason why people come into the chiropractic office is due to the stress in their life.  Health problems caused by stress are due to the individual’s failure to adapt to that stress.  What does it mean failure to adapt?  If you are cut you begin to bleed and then a scab forms.  Eventually your body will adapt and overcome.  Your body will heal.  When your body has a failure to adapt to the stress that is in your life, your body does not heal.  It is as simple as that.   One effect of chronic stress is prolonged muscle tension and contraction.  Who controls the muscles?  The nerves.  Chronic stress = nerve irritation.

Health problems caused by stress come about in three different ways: emotional, chemical, and physical.  Stress placed on your body takes many different forms.  Health problems caused by stress is directly proportional to how your nerve system is functioning.  If your nerve system is compromised due to stress and is not sending proper communication, your body begins to suffer as a direct consequence.  Chiropractic care allows your body to run uninterrupted.  If your master control system is functioning at 100% then your body is given the fighting chance it deserves.  Health problems caused by stress are severely limited when your body’s master system is functioning at 100%.  Chiropractic is the only science directing attention to assessing and adjusting spinal subluxations (stress on your nerves).  Regular check-ups with your doctor of chiropractic can prevent stress from plaguing your body.

Health problems caused by stress is different for everybody.  The factor that stays the same for everybody is how you are able to adapt and overcome it depends on how your nerve system is functioning.  A fun interesting read for more about stress click on the link : Click Me.

The Healing Aid or Crutch

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

The Healing Aid or Crutch

Ever wonder if your body has the healing power you are designed to have?  Well, it does!  The healing power that your body has is capable of anything!  Chiropractic is not designed to make you instantly feel better, it is designed to make you heal!  When you sustain an injury such as a cut on your hand what happens?  You begin to bleed, a scab forms, and eventually your skin looks no  different then before.  HEALING!  Your body did not require any form of medication or any outside influence.  The same can be said for just about anything (within limits of matter).  If you decide to start giving your body a crutch or a band-aid over and over again, it will soon begin to depend on those forms of assistance.  Our analogy here for crutch and band-aid is that of medication, drugs, dope, unnecessary surgery, etc, etc.  Allow your body to do what it is supposed to do uninfluenced by outside means.

Chiropractic and healing are synonymous.  Chiropractic allows your body to heal the way it was intended.  Chiropractic care is health care allowing your body to restore proper connection inside and allowing your amazing body to do what it is supposed to do!  Common side effects of chiropractic care allowing your body to heal properly include but are not limited to: positive stamina, reduced drug use, elevated mood, restful sleep, improved mood, and improved immune and digestive health.  The list goes on and on.  As our world gets sicker and sicker more people are reaching out to alternative means.  Chiropractic is not considered true alternative, in fact it is it’s own complete identity of a paradigm of what health is.  The power that made the body heals the body.  Chiropractic allows healing to flourish naturally.

Chiropractic And ADHD

Chiropractic And ADHD

Chiropractic and ADHD has a different story than you are used to.  More and more families are suffering from side effects of ADHD.  Mothers and fathers will spend countless hours researching and looking for alternative methods after trying the medical route.  Families will begin to realize that the gut does have something to do with it, that there is a chemical bomb exploding in your child repetitively over and over again.  Chiropractic and ADHD share a story that more than likely starts back during the pregnancy and even at birth.  Chiropractors are nerve system specialists.  A vertebral subluxation is when one or more vertebral bones move and cut off connection to organs, cells, tissues, glands, etc.  Imagine a stressful pregnancy or a stressful birth (C-section, breached, prolonged hours) and creating subluxations for your new child.  Not a pretty picture to paint for a developing child.  Chiropractic and ADHD is a story that has a different outcome.

Your vagus nerve starts at the top of your neck and happens to travel all the way down into the gut (among other places)!  If your child’s vagus nerve has been dys-connected due to a vertebral subluxation, then what happens to the gut?  Connection is lost from the brain to the gut because the vagus nerve is causing inflammation to occur, immunity issues, and an overall pissed off kid.  Chiropractic and ADHD can help reverse the story you have heard over and over again.  Put attention on the root cause of the chemical bomb that is happening in your child and all your research and hopes will come into light.  Chiropractic and ADHD creates a different story and establishes the foundation for a healthy life.  Healthy nerve system….healthy life!  All you have to do is ask and have your nerves checked to access the health of your child.
