Getting Off The Medication

Getting Off The Medication

Healthy life, healthy body, healthy mind.  Everybody was designed to be healthy and how you take care of your body is a direct relationship to your lifestyle.  Consistent use of medication should not be seen as a normal lifestyle.  Unfortunately, for many of us out there we think that there is no other alternative besides the constant use of medication.  This will suppress our bodies ability to function.  The body is a self-regulating and self-healing organism, designed to be amazing!  In a Mayo Clinic study, it was determined that roughly 70% of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half of the study are on at least two prescriptions.

The Other Side

In order to keep your body well, it is critical to maintain your spine’s alignment on a consistent basis.  The spine protects the most important entity of your entire body, the central nerve system.  Most medication attempts to directly inhibit the function of the central nerve system by limiting what and how the body can heal.  You see, the body is always going to attempt to heal and adapt to it’s environment.  This ability to adapt and heal comes through a clear and connected nerve system.  Medication does not allow the body to heal, it merely masks or covers up what the body is attempting to do.  Specific chiropractic care allows the body to restore normal function by allowing the body to heal and adapt.  Only through a clear and connected nerve system.  No medication is required, no gimmicks, no pills.

Clearing It Up

If your looking for another route besides constantly consuming medication, chiropractic is your answer.  The entire presence and function of the central nerve system is to perceive and maintain all cells of the human body.  Allow your body to heal by having your nerves checked on a regular basis to allow optimal function without the use of medication.  It is clear cut as that.

Chiropractic Care Helps Runners

How and why chiropractic care can keep runners loving what they do on a daily basis.  Whether you are new to running or it is your go to for daily exercise, regular check-ups can sustain and maintain your bodies overall ability to keep doing what you do.  The benefits of running far out match the negative feedback that is generated through wear and tear of your joints.  In fact weight-bearing activities such as running place a proper stress load on your joints that is essential for normal distribution of bone development.  Now, this comes with proper moderation.  We are not talking about running potential marathons every single day, we are talking about a conservative amount of running in a week.

Runners Need Chiropractic Care

Having your nerves checked on a regular basis ensures that your body is at peak potential.  Any dysfunction within your nerve system wreaks entire havoc on the body in general.  The central nerve system is the life-line for your entire body.  Decreased muscles aches, faster recovery time, ability to keep running without limitations all start with a healthy functioning nerve system.  A Canadian research team included chiropractic care in the rehabilitation program of sixteen injured female long distance runners.  Not only did these runners recover quickly, seven of them actually scored “personal best” performances while under chiropractic care.

Keep Going The Distance

The amazingly constant grind that running can place on the body is a bitter-sweet deal.  Being an athlete places a toll on the body, having the ability to respond and recover to your potential is ideal.  ” I would estimate that at least 90% of world class athlete’s use Chiropractic on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their performance” Sean Atkins, Exercise Physiologist. The evidence is out there for runners and athletes alike, your spine experiences more than normal wear and tear as your run, walk, and exercise.  Keep it healthy with regular chiropractic care.

Scoliosis Care

Scoliosis Care

The “S” word… Scoliosis.  Scoliosis is an irregular curvature in the spine that is often misdiagnosed and associated with any slight deviation of normal.  In order to truly have scoliosis, your spine has to have a certain degree of curvature to classify specifically as scoliosis.  Scoliosis care is fundamental with specific chiropractic care to ensure that proper adjustments are maintaining and if caught early enough can reverse the curves in scoliosis.  The spine has an incredibly  important job to protect the most important thing in your entire body, the central nerve system.  Without proper function of your central nerve system the body is in a constant state of disorder.  Your body is designed to stand strong and straight for a lifetime as long as you keep it in balance.  Neglect your spine and your health comes crumbling down.  Specific chiropractic adjustments allow your body to re-align and ensure optimal function.

Scoliosis Care When Young

Scoliosis care is not just for adults, it is vitally important to access and stop scoliosis as a child.  As the human body is growing at a young age there is a total of 33 spinal bones that will form into the adult skeleton of 26.  Maintaining proper and specific alignment of the bones as they develop comes with regular check-ups with your chiropractor.  Any deviation of normal for your spine can cause improper development.  Why?  As stated earlier, the spine protects and allows essential communication  for central nerve system.  The Nerve system regulate’s and control every single experience your body encounters or will encounter.  Progression of uncorrected scoliosis can lead to health consequences later down the road by inhibiting the role of the central nerve system.  Think of your spine as an information highway, it is constantly sending and receiving messages to make sure your body is at optimal function.  Any deviation of a normal spine will produce constant “road-blocks” in how your body functions.

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.

Headache – What You Need To Know

Headache – What You Need To Know

Headache giving you troubles?  Let’s get to the source of the headache and understand the dynamics of why your body is doing what it is.  A headache is a broad term for any type of specific pain/discomfort located in the head/neck region. There are several different types of classifications for headaches and how they are specifically classified.  Tension headaches, cluster headaches, migraine headaches, sinus headaches, and rebound headaches (hangovers don’t count, you should know your cause for that one).  Several factors are directly responsible for headaches: emotional stress, poor posture, physiological factors, diet, and the most important: the central nerve system.  A headache initially is your bodies way of trying to tell you something that is wrong, it’s a red flag, an alert system that something is amiss.  A sign or symptom is your body’s best way of functioning at that time.  When the headache becomes constant and begins to re-appear on a daily basis, weekly basis, or monthly basis, you never really are healing or overcoming the headache.  When headaches begin to become chronic occurrences in your life, help should be sought out.  This help comes with specific chiropractic care.

Specific chiropractic care allows your body to heal and to adapt to your headache so you overcome it!  By taking x-ray’s and accessing the spine chiropractors are trained to locate specific interference’s within your body and to adjust if necessary.  An interference in the central nerve system comes about in the form of a subluxation.  A subluxation places undo stress upon a specific nerve thus creating a quagmire of events in the entire central nerve system all together.  As a consequence of having a subluxation, your body will begin to give you signs and symptoms, which one can be headaches.  Over 70% of all headaches arise from problems with the cervical spine and its related structures – Canadian Family Physician.  By having your nerve system checked on a regular basis you can allow your body to heal/adapt to your headaches and live your life to your fullest potential.

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.

Sitting Vs Standing

By | Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Sitting Vs Standing

The great debate begins… well really it should not be a debate.  When it comes to sitting vs standing we always need to remember everything in moderation (and then some when it comes to standing).  Any sedentary lifestyle is just a bad thing, plain and simple.  Think of it this way, life is motion and motion is life.  In our society many careers and job opportunities are placing undo stress upon ones central nerve system due to extended sitting for periods of time.  Adequate motion is not obtained through sitting down throughout the workweek.  Sitting not only places stress upon the central nerve system by way of the spine, but also to the surrounding tissues, muscles, and ligaments.  Constant muscle fatigue, tightness, soreness, are just the beginning of what happens when sitting over and over again.

When choosing between sitting vs standing, the option should be an easy one.  Sitting for extended periods of time has been contributed with other chronic conditions that lead to dysfunction without the body.  The reason for this is because as stated earlier, life is motion.  With extended sitting you begin to compromise your posture and good health begins with proper posture.  With proper posture your information highway (central nerve system) is free to regulate and coordinate every single experience you encounter without interruption.  Sitting will compromise your posture which in turn will compromise your spinal stability thus interrupting your central nerve system.  The central nerve system controls and regulates all organs, cells, tissues, and glands to maintain your health and proper function.  “More people die of a sedentary lifestyle than from smoking” –  C. Everett Koop, Former Surgeon General of the U.S.  When considering sitting vs standing understand the importance of the little things that add up over time.  Don’t become complacent and allow your health to be sitting stagnant.

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 & 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?
