Asthma In Kids The Epidemic

Asthma In Kids The Epidemic

Asthma in kids the epidemic in our society is steadily on the rise and has been for some time.  Did you know that approximately 6.8 million kids in the United States suffer from chronic asthma.  Asthma in kids is not something that usually makes the front headlines, yet is a daily struggle for those who have to endure it and the struggle is real.  For those parents who have children with asthma, probably the research has been done on ways to improve their “condition”.  We understand that the airways are under constant strain by either a spasm or a hypersensitivity to something in the environment.  Treating the symptoms of asthma in kids usually is found with respiratory inhalers or suppressing all symptoms together by administering steroid use.  These methods might be necessary for severe instances or certain circumstances, yet we are still suppressing a child’s ability to thrive and develop.  Need to understand that the body is trying to adapt and to heal from something that is disturbing the ultimate functionality of breathing.

Asthma in kids and everyone else is triggered for a specific reason.  Specifically the lower portion of the neck directly regulates and controls the airways and how they function.  These nerves are sending information for cells, tissues, and everything that those airways need.  If and when a subluxation in the spine occurs at a specific level in the neck it disrupts the entire functioning of the respiratory system.   A subluxation is when one or more vertebrae place undo stress upon a nerve creating an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  This can lead to the airways being under constant strain to produce air and efficient amounts of it.  As a consequence asthma in kids can manifest and continue to plague the quality of life.  Now, we are not saying that we are going to cure asthma in kids.  What chiropractic allows is to specifically locate and adjust subluxations, in return allowing the body to heal and adapt to the stress.  By restoring proper communication via the central nerve system the body has no other option but to correctly process and perceive all in-coming and out-going information.  Get those nerves checked!

Organs supplied by impinged nerves exhibit pathological changes and the more serious the impingement, the more serious the damage – Henry Winsor, M.D.

Prevention Chiropractic Care

Prevention chiropractic care says a lot about the title in itself.  One of the easiest things to do in life is to prevent something from happening before it begins.  Think of it sort along the lines of having regular maintenance on your vehicle.  You are making sure that you are having regular oil check-ups, rotating tires, alignments, and don’t forgot the basic weekly gas fill-ups to make sure you have enough fuel for the week.  Somewhere along the line it turns from prevention to basic common sense, of course you want your vehicle to be running at it’s peak performance.    Going through the motions at some point just becomes preventative as well.  Prevention chiropractic care runs along the same lines of making sure you vehicle is up and running.  Taking care of your body should be at the top of your list.

Prevention chiropractic care starts with the foundation of how your body operates and functions.  Every experience you encounter in your life has to be processed through your central nerve system.  Chiropractic allows your central nerve system to be free of dysfunction thus functioning at your optimal potential.  Road blocks or vertebral subluxtions develop over time in your body due to your inability to adapt or to heal from stress in your life.  When a vertebral subluxation occurs it limits the bodies ability to properly function.  A vertebral subluxation is and often does go unnoticed for periods of time, much like something going wrong with your vehicle.  Over time your body begins to express signs and symptoms that is your bodies way of saying something is dysfunctional, much like an indicator finally going off on the dashboard.  Prevention chiropractic care is making sure that your body is always at top performance and making sure you stay that way.  Prevention chiropractic care is the way to go, get checked today!

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Creating Happiness Through Habits

Creating happiness through habits begins with one step at a time.  Habits initially start off as cobwebs and then with time begin to manifest into strong durable cables.  The happiness we are talking about is health related.  Being healthy and staying that way is a very addictive habit to form.  This comes in the form of eating proper nutrients for your body to process and making sure regular physical activity is a daily activity.  The major habit to form and sustain to allow all other habits to be fundamental is a proper nerve supply.  A proper nerve supply is the foundation of a healthy life thus creating happiness in all that you do.  If you lack a proper nerve supply you do not have your health, if you do not have your health, what do you have? Creating happiness through positive health habits is essential to living a life without restrictions.

Understanding the fundamentals of a happy-healthy life is essential.  Proper nutrients, regular physical activity, and regular specific chiropractic care.  Embracing all that you have allows you to reach and understand why these three components are engraved in stone and will not change.  Think of it this way, everything that we do in life requires proper movement.  Creating habits that incorporate regular physical activity is movement. Creating habits that allow your body to process proper nutrients is allowing proper movement within your GI tract.  Creating habits that start with specific regular chiropractic care is creating movement within the spinal region thus influencing the central nerve system.  Specific chiropractic care is movement within the body.  An adjustment to the spinal region is movement.  Nerves communicate from nerve to nerve, cell to cell, tissue to tissue, muscle to muscle etc: all of it is movement.  Creating happiness through your lifestyle is making sure that you are constantly moving.  Movement matters.

Day One Adjustments

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Day One Adjustments

Do you remember the very first time you were adjusted by a chiropractor?  Do you remember your very first experience in this world, birth?  The birth process is an amazing event and something that is cherished by all parents.  Having your child start life off with a BANG, with a specific chiropractic adjustment is not only ideal, it makes sense!  People often don’t think of the birth process as a traumatic event.  Imagine knowing what you know now if you had to do it all over again and pass through a very small canal, probably would not be the top thing on your list to do.  Just think about the entire 9 months leading up to the birth, the body is constantly changing and growing.  The development of the nerve system is the first “thing” to begin to develop in a fetus.  The nerve system is the master controller of the entire body.  Chiropractic care focuses specifically and solely on the nerve system with specific adjustments.

Adjustments

A long healthy life begins with day one, having your child checked for possible nerve dysfunction right away and having a chiropractic adjustment if necessary is optimal.  Even the tiniest of the tiniest can benefit from adjustments, chiropractic is safe and effective in allowing the body to restore or maintain proper balance.  Think of all the metabolic, chemical, hormonal changes that your child will be experiencing upon that first day; new stressors are going to be in effect and attacking the body.  Best to make sure that every experience your child encounters is with a clear and functioning nerve system.  Life for the newborn depends upon the preservation and healthy functioning of the brain stem and spinal cord at the level of the upper neck – Abraham Towbin M.D. – Harvard Medical School.  Adjustments are crucial for allowing the body to express its innate ability to regulate and control life at its best.

Emotional Stress Plaguing The Body

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Emotional Stress Plaguing The Body

Emotional stress is something that most individuals deal with on a daily basis.  Emotional stress can be a variety of things ranging from: depression, jealousy, paying bills, public speaking, your job, divorce, and the list goes on and on.  Regardless of how you handle emotional stress it still takes a toll on the body, especially if it is something that keeps reoccurring every single day.  Contrary to popular belief emotional stress is the number one reason why people seek chiropractic care.  We often think of physical pain in the low back or neck as the top reason to see a chiropractor.  Emotional stress takes the cake, imagine if in fact you do have a physical condition do you not think that your going to be constantly worrying about it?

Emotional stress is one of the biggest stressors on the body, not just physical trauma.  If you are constantly thinking about something in a negative manner your entire physiology is changed.  Negative hormones, endorphins, and overall chemistry of the body is negatively affected with stress.  In simplest terms you can often see somebody who is under emotional turmoil, they do not look well, their head-space is somewhere else, and their overall quality of life is lessened by this stress.  This constant stress wreaks havoc on the entire body and often can cause subluxations within the body.  Now, what we are not saying is that if you all of a sudden you get a letter from the IRS for owing taxes for a million dollars and you instantly create a subluxation.  It’s not like POOF, subluxation created!  It takes time for your body to create dysfunction.

A vertebral subluxation occurs in the spine which places stress upon one or more nerves.  A subluxation is not a pinched nerve, it is an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  Chiropractic focuses on checking the nerves to make sure proper function and communication is sustained throughout the body.  After receiving a specific chiropractic adjustment your body has no other alternative but to function accordingly and to allow your body to adapt and to heal.  After an adjustment there is proven research that your hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex in your brain begin to “fire” and take appropriate steps in making sure the body is working at optimal potential.  These two components of the brain are major regulators of allowing your body to function at peak performance.  Emotional stress we encounter daily, by giving your body the best chance available by functioning at optimal performance is your best chance to adapt and heal accordingly.

Proper Body Function

By | ADHD, Asthma, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Proper Body Function

Proper body function.  What does that statement mean to you?  Function is defined as ” an activity or purpose natural to or intended for a person or thing.”  Function is the way that you express your life to your fullest potential, without any limitations.  People that seek chiropractic care are doing this to have proper body function on a day to day basis.  Nothing is more frustrating than a quality of life that has limitations and restrictions on daily functions.  Awareness of body function is fundamental to understanding health and the possibilities that everyone has to obtain.

What Proper Body Function Is Not

Proper body function does not come in the form of a pill.  You cannot expect that taking something to cover up a sign or symptom is the ultimate way to express your function.  Function does not come in the form of a lotion or potion that has to be regularly applied.  Function does not come in the form of surgery or taking something away from your body unnecessarily.  We do realize, and accept, that at certain times maybe one of these variables might be necessary.  Major traumas, accidents, and injuries do occur in life.  If you’re always going to rely on a crutch at least make sure you have explored all options before doing so.

What It Is

Proper body function is allowing your body to heal and overcome obstacles in your way, which is the greatest natural force that we all have.  It’s time to get off the medical system and to take care of yourself.  Chiropractic care allows you to express life without limitations and without having to add something artificially to your body.  Chiropractic restores your life by making sure your central nerve system is properly functioning, which in turn enables everything in your body to be sufficient.  Everything that you do in life is expressed through your nerve system, chiropractic keeps that nerve system connected and healthy with specific adjustments.  Chiropractic does not take anything away from your body nor does it supplement it.  The original beauty of your body is that it is a self-sustainable organism, it knows what to do!  With specific regular adjustments your body has no other option but to maintain proper body function.

Life Is Motion

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Life Is Motion

Life is motion!  Every interaction that we have on this earth has to generate some sort of motion.  Ever take the time to stop and wonder?  Well, even if you do take time to stop and think about that, your body is still generating movement.  Thinking still cultivates movement along the neurological pathway to require the process of thoughts.  Even to stop and take a nap during the day your body is still producing movement, digestive enzymes, hormones, peristaltic motion, etc.  Mobility is required in just about every form of life and it’s our ability to keep healthy movement a sustainable part of our daily life.  We often think about exercising when we think about motion and for good reason.  Exercising is vital to maintaining a healthy body that is constantly being re-energized with proper chemistry to sustain an optimal quality of life.

Chiropractic Motion

Chiropractic focuses specially on the central nerve system (the master controller of your body) and making sure that there are no obstacles in the communication process between brain to body.  Chiropractors focus on identifying vertebral subluxations within the spine that limit your ability to function.  When a subluxation occurs within the body it creates an entire central nerve system dysfunction that limits…motion!  When your brain sends messages down through the spinal cord out to your vital organs, cells, tissues, and glands this is all MOTION.  Without going into too much detail about how nerves generate mobility, a subluxation produces the complete opposite.  When chiropractors find and locate the specific subluxations they then perform and adjustment to that vertebra.  Guess what?  A specific chiropractic adjustment is MOTION!  By applying the right amount of force in the right direction your body has no other option but to start healing from the subluxation and restore normal function.

Restore Proper Mobility

Understanding what is right for your body is unique to everyone.  That is why chiropractic is specific to each unique individual spine.  With restoring proper mobility within the spinal region the body restores proper communication and enables you to function at your optimal.  Think about exercising with a subluxation, think about not being able to perform at 100% and wondering why?  Proper mobility is key to living a life free of obstacles and maintaining your health.

Don’t Cover Up Signs And Symptoms

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Don’t Cover Up Signs And Symptoms

Covering up signs and symptoms is and has been a continuing trend in our society.  When signs and symptoms are expressed in your body it should be a red flag that dysfunction is present within the entire body (think of the body as a well oiled machine).  What are signs and symptoms that something is functionally wrong with our body? High blood pressure, colic, constipation, irregular cycle, ear infections, and the list goes on and on.  Unfortunately, we grow a custom to our signs and symptoms and begin to think they are a normal way of life for us.  If the symptoms persist for a time we tend to cover them up with artificial stimuli such as medication or cope in other methods.  While the medication might be a temporary “fix” the true underlying problem is not yet addressed.  Signs and symptoms are the beginning stage of dis-ease within in the body.  Over time as your body compensates for dysfunction with a particular symptom your entire central nerve system begins to malfunction.

What Signs And Symptoms Really Are

Recognize that any sign or symptoms that your body gives you is directly related to the nerve system.  There has to be a cause and effect for what you are experiencing and the cause is related to the nerve system.  Understanding this concept is not far-fetched, the nerve system regulates and controls all functions within the body.  Now, we realize that if someone hits you with a blunt object or if you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day then obviously you have your cause.  The signs and symptoms that we are referring to are associated with everyday life that often go unexplained or point to a specific organ that is malfunctioning.  The thought process goes along the lines of this: high blood pressure = blame the heart, constipation =  blame the GI tract and so on.  While yes, the sign and symptom is apparent in that particular organ, why is it happening?  If a nerve has pressure upon it, the messages from the brain are going to be cut-off or limited to that particular organ, cell, tissue or gland.  As a consequence of not receiving proper messages from the brain, the body will develop signs and symptoms which in turn will lead to the dis-ease process.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic focuses specifically on the nerve system.  Tell a chiropractor a specific sign and symptom and we will show you the nerve that regulates and controls that particular organ, cell, tissue or gland.  Chiropractors look to find dysfunction within the nerve system by locating subluxations.  Subluxations place undo stress on a specific nerve creating an entire central nerve system malfunction.  Subluxations can exist for years without you knowing it directly, until signs and symptoms manifest.  Specific chiropractic adjustments remove the subluxations and allow your body to HEAL.  Have your nerve system checked for possible subluxations.
