Top Reasons ADD/ADHD and Chiropractic Find Focus

Top Reasons ADD/ADHD and Chiropractic Find Focus

The Approach To ADD/ADHD

Chiropractors understand that the most important system in the entire body is the nerve system.  The spine is the gateway which allows for ALL communication between the brain and the body and visa versa.  Subluxations are what chiropractors are trained to access the spine for and adjust if necessary.  A subluxation causes dysfunction within the entire central nerve system causing disruption of proper nerve system communication.  Physical stressors such as birth trauma or intrauterine constraint, chemical stressors such as diet or medication and emotional stressors such as anxiety or sleeping problems can lead to subluxations.

What Is The Cause

ADD/ADHD when using the term comes off as a diagnosis that is unexplained and just typically happens.  ADD/ADHD are states of imbalance in the central nerve system, usually with one of the systems working harder than the other.  The autonomic nerve system divides into two divisions, the fight or flight reponse side or the rest and relaxation side.  When the body perceives it is in danger such as subluxation from stressors in our life the fight or flight response is triggered.  Your child is then in a protective mode of being in a constant state of fight or flight.  This results in inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Action Steps For ADD/ADHD

Natural choices that parents can make for their children have been tested and have survived the test of time.  We do not have to make “Health” a complicated thing, no medication is required when accessing the nerve system.  By properly accessing the nerve system and providing a proper functioning system for children with ADD/ADHD you can achieve improvements in their lifestyle.  If the nerve system is properly functioning than all other systems will be firing and working at their optimal potential.

Improving Sports Performance

By | Benefits of Chiropractic

Improving Sports Performance

Improving sports performance comes with a daily grind that is inevtiable.  With practice comes the ability to outperform your expectations when the game is on line.  The top factor that can and will inhibit your sports performance is/are injuries. Whether the injury is something that just happened or is chronically reoccuring you are either prolonging the healing process or never really getting better.  When an injury occurs it creates assymetry within the body and creates dysfunction.  Your body will begin to compensate from one side to the other and utilize energy unnecesary.  Over time this will place undo stress upon certain joints and decrease your ability to perform.

Out Of “Align”

With injuries, your body is trying to heal and protect itself at the same time.  Once the protection mode is finally turned off, you actually begin the healing process.  Both of these cycles take time and both are neccesary to imrpove your sports performance.  While your body is compensating with your injury, the muscles, ligaments, and tendons will be in overdrive producing tightness, spasms and fatigue.  The injury overtime will place even more stress on your spinal region even more preventing the healing process from occuring.

Back In “Align”

Regular chiropractic check-ups ensure that your body is functioning correctly and allowing you to heal, getting you back at your top sports performance.  Chiropractic adjustments allow’s the body to heal and to adapt faster when an injury takes place.  By restoring normal function in  your nerve system the amount of inflammation can subside faster to allow normal function.  When your nerve system is hindered by spinal subluxations, you can’t express your top sports performance.  If there is misalignment of the spine, it can and will negatively affect the structure and function of other parts of your body.  Chiropractic helps you take your health to new heights!

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.

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.

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.

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.
