3 Ways To Improve Your Immune System

Stimulating the immune system to be at it’s peak potential is not something that should be taken for granted.  Improving your immune system is a daily fight every single day, not just when in times of crisis.  If we only pay attention to our system when in times of need we will never get stronger in the long run.  3 simple ways to improve your immune system begins with the foundation of health.

Immune Support & Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focus specifically and solely on the central nerve system. The master system that controls every single experience you have in your life.  Chiropractor’s detect and adjust subluxations within the spine that inhibit our body from functioning at it’s peak performance.  A disturbance in the spine has a direct correlation on how our system’s function.  The focus of chiropractic care is to remove any physiological blocks to the proper expression of the body’s innate wisdom.  Specific chiropractic adjustments stimulate white blood cell production to boost your overall immunity…naturally!

Eating Right

Eating clean and choosing the right food has not changed.  Regardless of the newest and latest diet or health fad, choosing the right food is staying away from processed and pre-packaged food.  Let thy food be thy medicine is a saying that will stand the test of time.  Staying properly hydrated and maintaining regular consumption of vegetables, fruits, and protein allows your body to flourish.

Get Up & Workout

Exercises such as walking, swimming, yoga, Pilates, bicycling, martial arts, and bodybuilding all help your body.  Having a strong functioning musculoskeletal  is just the tip of the iceberg for working out.  Exercising has countless benefits for your overall body in general.  Choose fun activities that you enjoy so you can keep doing them and get the results you are looking for.

Ache In The Headache

Ache In The Headache

What is the ache in the word headache?  Debilitating headaches are a top category why people seek chiropractic care.  But, what really is the ache during a headache?  Let’s break some headache’s down with their known causes and effects.  Then let’s find out why the number one cause of headaches is nerve dysfunction created by a subluxation.

Common Cause & Effect Headaches

First type of headache is associated with some sort of blunt trauma to your head.  Playing baseball and you are up to bat and the ball hits your helmet, thus resulting in headache.  Another common headache is overindulging in drinking one night, thus resulting in waking up with a headache (or commonly known as a hangover).  Migraine headaches are another common form.  Migraine headaches are chemical imbalances resulting in thyroid gland dysfunction.  Poor thyroid function resulting in migraine headaches (nerve related as well).  Changing prescriptions for your eyes can also create imbalances thus resulting in headaches.

Back To The Ache

Ache is typically used to describe some sort of muscle tension or imbalance.  Ache is collectively associated with other verbs such as  dull, throbbing, tension, and knots.  These words are used to describe the musculoskeletal system which is constantly working by providing stability to fight gravity everyday!  Muscle tension is what we “feel” when a headache manifests into a problem.

The Subluxation

Nerve irritation is the number one reason for a headache.  The most common type of headache is associated with nerve dysfunction.  Muscles, tendons, and ligaments are all controlled via your nerve system.  When a subluxation is present within your body, you cannot express your fullest potential.  A subluxation creates dysfunction not only on one nerve but within the entire central nerve system.  Communication to your body is interrupted due to your subluxation, thus resulting in your body giving you a sign and symptom.

The Epidemic Of Text Neck

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

The Epidemic Of Text Neck

The epidemic of text neck has been developing for some time, and is now starting to spread it’s full wings.  Text neck is a generalized term that is associated with some sort of electronic device and using improper posture while on the device.  This can range from cellphones, tablets, kindles, I-pads, laptops, and whatever else is out there.  It’s not that you have to be strictly texting while performing bad posture, it’s just statistically based that texting is the top activity performed.

How To Change The Posture

Much like anything in life, moderation is the key.  The biggest component to monitor is having the electronic device parallel to your eye level.  Do not bring your eyes down to the device, instead bring the device to your eye level.  Performing this simple maneuver will decrease the amount of strain that is placed on your central nerve system from improper positioning.  Another simple variable is to always switch-up your positioning.  Place the device in a sitting position, then a standing position, and then lay-down.  Constantly changing your posture prevents repetitive nature which causes harm in the long run.

Why Text Neck Is Bad

Your cervical spine (neck) is supposed to have a specific curvature to it.  When a hand-held device enters the picture our tendency is to look downwards at the screen thus creating an improper curvature within the spine.  Over time text neck begins to ensue by over-straining your muscles, ligaments, and tendons.  This text neck begins to limit your correct curvature of the spine which in time will place constant stress on the body.

Figure It out

In this day and age children will never know what it’s like not to have the internet.  As early as two years of age now, some children have their own electronic devices.  If their posture is not monitored, then the beginning of text neck will set in.  Fixing the posture and having regular chiropractic check-ups will restore the normal balance in the body.
