Overcoming Chronic Inflammation

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Overcoming Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is becoming more of an acceptable form of  “sickness” in our society.  Typically we aim to eliminate a sign or symptom and assume we are okay.  This thought process never addresses the underlying reason for the disturbance in the first place.    In order to discover what inflammation is you have to understand how the healing process works.  To discover healing look first towards the tissue cell.

Irritated Tissue Cell = Chronic Inflammation

The tissue cell is the smallest part of the body.  Each cell is designed to give service to all parts of the body.  Cells allow transmission for healing and inflammation to occur.  There are lot’s of signs and symptoms associated with inflammation.  Healing begins with inflammation.

What is Chronic Inflammation

Your entire body is an organism that is derived of different parts.  Each tissue cell is specifically designed for a duty to perform for the organism (body).  Inflammation initially is seen as a positive act within the body.  This is a result of  some sort of pathogen, irritant, or other force that is disrupting tissue cells.  As a direct results of the initial attack the body triggers a defense response: inflammation.  Immune cells are then initiated to express their function to defend the entire organism.  When the body is not able to ADAPT  and overcome this initial inflammation, it then becomes chronic.

A Change In Lifestyle

While a healthy response is better than no response you still need to adapt.  Chiropractic care allows your body to properly adapt.  Chiropractic focuses specifically on the central nerve system which regulates all tissue cells.  Subluxations within the spine create dysfunction with the nerves.  Subluxations “squeeze” these nerve fibers basically creating downed power lines.  They might look happy, yet they are dangerous.  Address the spine first when looking to change your output of life.  A healthy spine is equivalent to a healthy body.  Life is easier.  Proper transmission lets you live at your max without chronic inflammation.

Before Ear Tubes, Do Your Research

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Before Ear Tubes, Do Your Research

Pretty simple topic here to talk about.  Ear tubes we are referring to are the Eustachian tubes that are failing to function appropriately for children.  When the E-tubes begin to fail, ear infections begin to ensue.  Before any consideration for your child’s health is in question you need to do research.  The age old adage “Trust me, I am a doctor” does not hold merit until it is proven.  Ultimately it is your child’s immediate health and long-term combined.  The “simple” ear infection can set up for positive health results in the near future or snowball into negative consequences based on parents actions.

Some Ear Tubes Research

  • Published research has shown that 80% of children treated with a series of chiropractic adjustments were free of ear infections for a six month period.
  • Surgical intervention to have ear tubes into the inner ear creates a short term mechanical solution that does not focus on the cause.
  • As many as 70% of ear infections are caused by viruses not by bacteria.  Routinely use of antibiotics predisposes children to repeat infections and routine illness.
  • Antibiotics leave patients far more vulnerable to other infections when being routinely treated.

100% Natural

First thing is first.  Have your child checked for possible subluxations within the central nerve system.  The subluxation wreaks havoc on the developing child as it does not present as pain.  The subluxation presents as a sign and symptom (ear infection).  Ear tubes have only specific purpose which is the same extent for a crutch.  Give yourself a crutch and you will always rely on a crutch.  Be natural, be 100% without having to add artificial stimulants.  Ear tubes are another “discovery” in health that are far worse than we imagined.  The downward spiral of what ear infections even leads to is another reassuring factor of our flawed “health” system.  So, just keep it simple and don’t over complicate health.  Do you research and always ask questions.

Get Your Child Checked

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Get Your Child Checked

Having your child checked for possible vertebral subluxations is a top priority.  ​Chiropractors emphasize the study of the body’s master system (the central nerve system), which provides specific health care for everyone.  There are certain windows of opportunity for children as they pass through developmental stages.  We do not want to miss our windows of opportunity due to neglect or not knowing.  A vertebral subluxation places undo stress upon the central nerve system.  A subluxation creates chaos within the central nerve system thus distorting all tissue cells.  Remember – tissue cells are the building blocks of life.

Top Reasons For Kids To Be Checked

  • ​Believe it or not, our central nervous system plays a major role in the function of our immune system.  There is a direct correlation to healthy nerve system = healthy immune system.
  • The onset of scoliosis begins in the early teen years of children.  This can be detected and corrected with specific regular check-ups from your chiropractor.
  • The human body craves alignment. When we are properly aligned, our bones, not our muscles, support our weight, reducing effort and strain.  This is essential for a developing child.
  • A developing child has limitless potential.  The body is designed to be awesome.  Just because a child does not have pain does not mean anything.

Better Health For Your Child

The longer you wait for your child to be checked for subluxations the longer dysfunction is evident.  When should you first have your child checked?  Right after birth.  Regardless of how amazing the birth experiences is, it is still an “awesome” stressful experience for a newborn.  As your child is developing think outside of the norm.  “Normal” signs and symptoms do not have to be the norm for your child.  Initially a sign or symptom can be a good thing.  If a particular sign or symptoms continues for days leading to weeks then to months, the body is not adapting to a stress.

Tips To Lower The Anxiety

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Tips To Lower The Anxiety

Anxiety or any emotional stress for that matter can destroy the body over time.  Say for instance the upcoming holiday season that is upon us.  This can be a time often filled with some sort of emotional stress that can last for the day or months after the initial episode.  The choice is up to you.

Take Away The Anxiety

Any anxiety that you encounter alters every function in the body.  How so?  The central nerve system controls regulates and coordinates all actions and all behaviors that you experience.  Have you ever had “Butterflies In the Stomach” before?  It’s not that we are walking around swallowing a bunch of butterflies.  A specific part of the central nerve system called the pre-frontal cortex is responsible for such actions.  Now, imagine if there is a disconnect from what the pre-frontal cortex communicates to the rest of the body due to an altered thought process.  As a direct result every cell in the body is dysfunctional.

Positive Attitude

Having a positive mindset is a top priority to maintaining your quality of life.  Staying positive like a proton goes a long way.  While staying positive can help you “feel” better, only your nerve system can allow you to heal from a stressor.  Having a positive mindset comes with fueling the body in a correct manner.

Lifestyle Habits To Combat Anxiety

Relieving anxiety starts with making sure your nerve system is properly connected.  Without this, everything else can fall to the wayside.  This can start with you by working on your own spinal alignment, its called posture!  Having correct posture “segways” into exercise.  Proper posture is hard to do, and guess what?  It’s actually an exercise you can do every single day of your life.  Sure, you have to incorporate other exercises such as walking, running, yoga, weight-lifting, or whatever suites your fancy.  Diet is a necessary component as well.  Re-charge with  substantial nutrients that incorporates a well balanced diet.

How To Beat Chronic Inflammation

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

How To Beat Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation giving you a run for your health?  Address the cause of the inflammation at the root regardless of obstacles in your way.  Inflammation is a very strategic part of the body helping to defend itself.  Seen as a positive factor that your body initiates to combat.  Certain times the bodies immune system will call to action a defense in order to adapt.  Certain times is used very loosely, as becoming chronic means dysfunction within the body.

The Tissue Cell Versus Inflammation

Cells are the building blocks of life and specifically speaking the tissue cell is the master of all cells.  The tissue cell is at the center of development and thus maintaining our ability to be who we are.  Your bodies inability to adapt to stressors in your environment in the tissue cell creates chronic inflammation.  The tissue cell is regulated, controlled, and coordinated via your central nerve system.  Addressing the cause of something is looking specifically towards the nerve system first.

A Sign & Symptom

Any sign and symptom your body throws your way is initially a positive thing.  Yes, initially it might be burdensome and not really “fun” to experience.  Your body is attempting to adapt and to heal from some sort of stressor placed on it.  When a sign and symptom appears even before you realize it, inflammation has begun.  Your body begins to work harder and faster than it needs to in order to survive and adapt.

Consistency Is The Magic Bean

Everything takes time.  The body is no different, in that in order to obtain optimal function you have to be willing to give it time.  If your body is under constant stress and never “getting” over something, then your basically bordering on insanity.  Regular check-ups to access how your nerve system is functioning allows your body to adapt.  By stimulating the nerve system your body is properly coordinated and enables the tissue cell to decrease the chronic stress response.

The Effects Of Physical Stress On The Body

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

The Effects Of Physical Stress On The Body

The effects of physical stress on the body is one of the most detrimental factors associated with someones health and well-being.  Long-standing physical stress that goes uncorrected distorts the spinal column which protects the most important system in your entire body, the central nerve system.  Remember that the body is an entire unit.  For example if someone has a sprained ankle, the sprained ankle is not the only part of the body that suffers.

The Superhighway Of The Body

The stress that  we undergo is different for everybody.  This can include sitting down for extended periods of time, sports, looking at a screen all day, and the list goes on.  If the physical stress is a daily routine you are never giving your body proper time to heal and adapt.  Thus distorting your bodies entire bio-mechanics wreaking havoc on your spinal column.  A subluxation what chiropractors are trained to located and adjust if necessary will wreak havoc on your superhighway (central nerve system).  A subluxation is often created when the body is placed under physical stress for a period of time.

Reconnect From Physical Stress

Physical stress distorting your bodies ability to function disconnects the superhighways ability to be constantly be operating at 100%.  You need a physical solution to help fix a physical problem that your body is encountering.  Specific adjustments reconnect the body superhighway by removing subluxations thus allowing your body to heal.  To go after the true cause of your stress, look towards the spine first.  By influencing the central nerve system the effects of stress do not have to be as detrimental.  Your quality of healing from stress is directly proportional to the capacity of the central nerve system.  Remember the central nerve system regulate’s and control all aspects of the healing phase.

Feeling Good Vs Functioning Good

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Feeling Good Vs Functioning Good

Feeling versus functioning is a misleading concept that we often get stuck in with regards to our health.  Which is more important to you?  The entire concept of “feel” is very subjective in nature and differs from one person to another.  Functioning on the other hand is ultimately what chiropractor’s are trying to achieve for patients.   I could be feeling really good and yet at the same time have complete loss of function of one arm.  Which is more important to you?

The Feel Good

When you start seeing a chiropractor, when done specifically and correctly you can “get” a patient to feel good.  The reason for this is because the sensory part of the central nerve system is drastically a relatively small component of how your body operates.  Sensory nerves are important, yet compared to your motor and autonomic nerves the sensory is roughly 10% of the entire system together.  What one person might consider as pain the other person wouldn’t even stop to think about it.  Nerve tension exists without pain.

Function Function Function

The spine and nerve system are interrelated and connected to every aspect of our expression of health and wellness.  The central nerve system coordinates, controls, and determines every ascpect of function that we encounter on a daily basis.  Fixing the cause of your problems is addressing the dysfunction present in your body.  If taking medication to numb feelings to allow you to function is your idea of healing you are only making things worse.  Let your body be it’s guide and listen to it.

Comes & Goes

For some people, they can be feeling good one day and then the next feel completely horrible.  Understand that healing takes time, and your body is never going to stop healing.  Feeling good is pretty cool, functioning good is AMAZING!

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.

What You Need To Know About Fevers

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

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.
