What You Need To Know About Fevers

Fevers often have received a bad rap when it comes to health of a developing child.  The basic principle which a fever is trying to accomplish is that the body it trying to heal itself.  That age old adage of letting the fever run it course should say a lot.  When a fever strikes your child, the body is trying to adapt and overcome some sort of imbalance.

What Is A Fever

A fever is the body’s normal reaction and action step in dealing with some sort of infection.  It’s normal!  Attempting to suppress a fever never really cultivates the body healing nor adapting to the stress put on it.  Thus, allowing for reoccurring infections to take place.  Increased body temperature stimulates the growth of cells, specifically speaking white blood cells.  White blood cells are vitally important for attack measures, and are directly associated with your immune system and how you defend against invaders.

The Reason For The Fevers

Always relating cause and effect to a particular part of your central nerve system, enter the hypothalamus.  The hypothalamus is a part of your brain that should basically be called the “quarterback of the brain.”  It’s calling some important shots and specifically when your body is trying to adapt to a stressor in your environment.  Fevers are brought on for a multitude of reasons, and they do

Regulate The Fever

Just like “getting sick” a fever should only last for a day or two at most (depending upon the severity).  When your body becomes run down in times of crisis you still have to make sure to regulate the fever with constant check-ups.  A fever acceding a temperature of 104 F is not a safe environment for anybody, and the body might need some sort of outside assistance.  Outside of regulation, proper nerve system function is essential for good health.  Get back in line and allow the body to adapt faster and actually heal with having the nerve system checked for imbalances.

Benefits Of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

One of the most important times in our lives – pregnancy.  Making sure that the mother is doing everything that she can to have an awesome amazing pregnancy comes with standards.  Regular check-ups with your midwives / OB/GYN, taking essential nutrients, and of course more naps!  Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy  is fundamental to ensure pre and post lasting results not only for the mother but child as well.

Hormonal Changes

Every experience that we encounter in life is processed and coordinated via your nerve system.  Chiropractic keeps the nerve system properly functioning so you can experience a pregnancy that is ideal.  Hormonal changes are typically one of the biggest factors that expecting mothers tend to “feel”.  By properly accessing the nerve system hormonal balances can be achieved to make sure that everything is working accordingly.  Hormones directly affect not only emotions but also muscles, ligaments, and tendons that are growing and developing.

Pelvic Changes

As the anticipation date of actual birth comes into fold, the amount of changes that the pelvis encounters is substantial.  The amount of pelvic imbalance is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy.  Pelvis misalignment may reduce the amount of room for the developing baby and cause unnecessary discomfort for the mother.  Distortions in the pelvis also have the ability to cause problems for the baby to make it down for the birth process itself.

Other Benefits Of Care

Overall functioning during pregnancy for the mother is very ideal.  The ability to maintain a healthy pregnancy comes from a balance: healthy lifestyle, diet, and regular check-ups to your nerve system.  The central nerve system is the master controller in the body, balancing proper nerve tone is the first step in a healthy and amazing experience.  The benefits can reduce labor, decrease nausea, relieve overall joint pain

5 Reasons To Adjust Your Kids Backpack

Kids going back to school is just upon us.  Usually, the top concerns are associated with new clothes, coloring pencils, books, and other school accessories.  The backpack typically gets put on the back-burner and is either a pass-down from an older child or is from the previous year.  A lot of growth can occur within a year and the backpack is something that can hinder development.  Top 5 reasons to “adjust” your kids backpack.

Shoulder Straps

Backpacks come with two shoulder straps because… you have two shoulders!  So, utilize both shoulder straps to distribute the weight of the pack over a greater surface area.  If waist straps are available you can distribute the weight even more by incorporating the torso.

Packing Order

With all of the books, papers, and other supplies that are utilized in the backpack make sure you are placing things accordingly.  The heaviest books need to be located in the back of the backpack closest to the shoulder blade region.

Choosing The Right One

When choosing which pack is right for your kids, make sure to try it on.  You don’t want the pack to hang past their buttocks, if it does this has a tendency to incorporate negative curvatures withing the spinal column.

Weigh It

Want to see how much their pack really weighs?  Do it!  Put all of their supplies, books, papers and all other materials in the pack and weigh it.  The pack should not be more than 10% of their body weight.  If you need to take unnecessary items out to save them from the stress.

Get Adjusted

Pack’s have a tendency to cause harm if used inappropriately.  Follow some basic fundamentals when using them and no problems will arise.  Regardless of the situation though you should always still have your kids under regular chiropractic care to make sure they are functioning at their optimal potential.  Make sure the spine is free of subluxations and allowing for future development.
