Migraine Headaches The Cause

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Migraine Headaches The Cause

What is the true cause of your migraine headaches?  When dealing with migraine headaches we first need to understand the body.  Understanding the body begins with the central nerve system.  The central nerve system is the master controller, every single experience good or bad that you encounter with your body is regulated and controlled via your central nerve system.  It could be as easy as saying have a migraine headache, blame your central nerve system.  Granted, there is more to it than that.

Migraine headaches are associated with dysfunction within the neck region, specifically speaking the lower portion.  A migraine headache is a chemical imbalance within the body, hormones, proteins, cells, all miscommunicating and creating a quagmire in  your body.  This dysfunction is related to how the nerves are communicating to your organs, cells, tissues, and glands.  Without proper nerve function your body begins to show you initial signs and symptoms of a migraine.

One of the most common signs of a migraine headache that many people endure are visual aura’s.  A visual disturbance that your body is giving you has to start and originate from somewhere.   You can blame the eyes, yet that is just the effect of something bigger happening.  Visual aura’s are common and easy to grasp because we should recognize them as not only visual disturbances but something bigger that is happening with our body.

What you often experience as signs and symptoms originate from your body’s inability to correctly adapt and function at your optimal potential.  Stress from everyday life can add up and create dysfunction on how you operate on a day to day basis.  When a subluxation occurs within the body, it creates an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  A subluxation being what chiropractor’s are trained to locate and adjust if necessary.

Proper Posture The True Story

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Proper Posture The True Story

Proper posture: the true story takes us back many many moons ago.  Well, not really.  We just need a good opening line when talking about proper posture and how it is key to your overall health and well-being.  Proper posture is fundamental in maintaining and functioning on a day to day basis without limitations or fallback.  The reason why posture is so crucial is because your spinal column is protecting the most important part of your entire body, the central nerve system.  The one thing that destroys your posture and overall quality of life is a vertebral subluxation.  A vertebral subluxation often goes unnoticed for years leading to signs and symptoms, very much like a cavity.  A vertebral subluxation places undo stress upon your entire central nerve system, not just one nerve, but everything!  This stress, over time, on your spinal column can lead to improper posture thus creating a compensation elsewhere in the spine.  This cycle can also be flipped starting out with poor posture creating muscle strain and improper bio-mechanics, resulting in your body needing to compensate from physical stress thus creating a vertebral subluxation.

Hard work pays off, such as maintaining a proper posture on a daily basis.  Visiting a chiropractor on a regular basis ensures that your body has no other option but to be functioning at your optimal potential.  By allowing your central nerve system to fire on all cylinders without dysfunction you will give your body its best chance against the daily stress of life.  After your body receives a specific chiropractic adjustment, proper posture is the number one variable that will assist your ability to adapt and to heal.  Just think how easy it is to slouch over while sitting down or to slump over while standing for an extended period of time.  The little things in life add up over time, by maintaining your central nerve system your muscles, tissues, ligaments, and even cells have the ability to receive proper communication to enable proper posture.

Chiropractic Kids – Staying & Being Healthy

Chiropractic kids – staying and being healthy is a really big statement and mouthful.  If your under the mindset that chiropractic is simply for middle-aged males who work in a factory and have chronic low back pain, then this is for you.  Let’s back it up a little bit and start with the very first chiropractic adjustment.  In 1895 the very first chiropractic adjustment was not for lower back pain or neck pain, it was to restore hearing in a deaf individual.  Most kids are not going to be suffering from back or neck pain, instead they suffer from colic, chronic ear infections, asthma, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, bed wetting, and the list goes on and on.  Chiropractic kids are visiting their chiropractor to make sure that their body is running and developing at their top potential.

There is a direct correlation that after receiving a specific chiropractic adjustment that your body has no other option but to function properly and restore the healing process.  For example, think of any sign or symptom that your body produces.  This sign or symptom is initially your bodies way to adapt and begin the healing process.  If the sign or symptom becomes chronic and leads to another sign or symptom then we are never getting better.  Chiropractic kids have no other alternative but to function and perform at their optimal potential.  This is accomplished by having a clear and connected nerve system.

Staying and being healthy on a day to day basis comes with its struggles.  The nuts and bolts of staying and being healthy begins and ends with the nerve system.  Chiropractic kids not only have a higher prevalence to prevent signs and symptoms but they also respond faster and get stronger through it!  Have your child checked for possible nerve dysfunction to ensure they are developing at their fullest potential.  Would you like to learn morn about chiropractic kids?

Beat Chronic Stress

Beat Chronic Stress

Chronic stress in our daily lives is one of the top reasons why many of our health problems plague us on a day to day basis. Imagine a life free of stress…that would be nice!  “There is no effect without a cause. Chiropractors adjust causes, others treat effects.” B.J. Palmer, D.C., Ph.C.  Chronic stress can cause our body to be in a constant state of fight thus creating effects: headaches, immune imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, infertility, basically signs and symptoms.  Living in a state of chronic stress decreases your ability to properly function.  Emotional stress is no different than sustaining a major accident, injury or trauma.  Normally, when you sustain a physical stress in life you can remember the day and pin point the specific action of what caused your stress.  Emotional stress usually takes time to boil up and wreak havoc on your entire body.  Usually, with emotional stress it is a culmination of factors that begin to take shape.

Beat chronic stress with weekly activities that allow your body to be at its optimal potential.  The top weekly activity that ensures your body is firing on all cylinders is having your nerve system checked for possible subluxations.  Chiropractic is not about a pinched nerve, it is about allowing your body to function at it’s optimal potential without limitations.  This is done by having your nerve system regularly checked to make sure your central nerve system is properly coordinating and controlling all you do in life.  If there is a subluxation present within your spinal region it is disrupting every single action that you try to accomplish, and not just the ones that you can control.  When the central nerve system is free of interruption/dysfunction your life express is lifted to an entirely different level, thus combating the effects of chronic stress.  With specific chiropractic adjustments to restore your body’s innate healing ability, you have no other option but to express life and to HEAL.  Beat the chronic stress by making sure that regular check-ups of your spine are at the forefront.

Creating Happiness Through Habits

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.

Balancing Act Of Health: Healthy Life

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Balancing Act Of Health : Healthy Life

The balancing act of health is a daily activity that cannot be taken for granted.  A man that is too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busty to take care of his tools – Spanish Proverb.  Health does not come in a cookie-cutter box that has specific instructions for what to do.  Health is different and unique to each individual with basic fundamental principles.  Diet, exercise, and a properly functioning nerve system with specific chiropractic care should be your balancing act of health. How to eat clean and regular daily exercise are not things that are new and upcoming.  They have been around for an extended period of time and will continue to be paramount in our daily lives.  Regular specific chiropractic care is also something that is not new and upcoming.  Chiropractic has been around for an extended period of time as well and will continue to be a fundamental principle of health.  Balancing all of these variables together is key, with chiropractic being at the foundation in order to sustain a healthy life.

The balancing act of all three variables is key to a healthy life.  Think of ways we often try and bend the rules with these variables.  You can go to the gym and workout everyday, if your diet is not properly suitable for what you are doing you cannot out-train a bad diet.  The same can be said for eating an amazing diet and not properly exercising.  Imagine if you are doing both of these variables and eating clean and regularly exercising and not involving chiropractic.  Chiropractic keeps your body connected so that you can live your life to your fullest potential.  With a clear and connected nerve system your body has no other option but to function and be at your best.

Protect Your Neck

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Protect Your Neck

Posture, posture, posture!  It seems like we have always been reminded about the responsibility of our posture and what it involves to make sure we are walking around straight.  In our growing society of computers, cell phones, videos games, and gadgets our posture often becomes compromised.  With the technology changes often we compromise our posture, more specifically speaking our neck posture.  Protect your muscles by having sound bio-mechanics with your posture on a day to day basis when dealing with “gadgets.”

Text Neck

Text neck is a trend that is making headway and is most likely here to stay as long as cell phones are a daily part of our lives.  When texting, the biggest component to protect your posture is to bring the cell phone UP to your eyes and not bring your eyes down to the phone.  This in time will create fundamental habits to protect your muscles and support your posture.  Text neck over time creates disturbances within your spine by creating constant muscle tension and fatigue by improper posture.

Computer Neck

Computer neck applies not only to PCs but also video games and tablets as well.  You see people that have computer neck in two different variables.  There are the individuals that have their monitor setup and have them leaning in so far forward that they are almost touching the screen with their nose.  They have rounded shoulders and their head is so far forward that this just becomes the new norm for them.  The other variable with computers are the individuals who have good posture but their monitor is below eye level.  This in time resembles that of text neck as they are constantly looking down towards their monitor.  Both of these variables chronically place discomfort on the surrounding muscles and strain them over time.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic relieves constant muscle fatigue, tension, tightness and anything else you can think of when it comes to improper posture.  Chiropractic addresses the nerves that are controlling the muscles thus relieving symptoms naturally.  Chiropractic properly aligns the spine to allow your body to function and restore normal posture.  This is done by relieving stress upon the nerves that enable your body to heal and adapt over time to create that picture perfect posture we were always taught about.

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.
