Getting Off The Medication

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

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.

Scoliosis Care

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

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.

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.

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.

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.

Commit To A Healthy Body

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Commit To A Healthy Body

Commit to a healthy body by doing what is necessary on a day to day basis.  By doing one thing at a time for your body you can start to appreciate the small things in life that often go unnoticed.  There is no coincidence that people who take care of their body live a stronger more positive lifestyle.  Caring for yourself does not have to be burdensome or a taxing event that leaves you lost and tired throughout the day, in fact in does the complete opposite.  Committing to a healthy body begins with your foundation: a clear and connected nerve system.  Chiropractic focuses on making sure that your master control system (central nerve system) is properly connected to make sure you live your life at your optimal potential.  The nerve system regulates and controls every function and ability that you encounter on a day to day basis.  Why chiropractic?  Regular chiropractic adjustments is essential for a healthy body.  Want to talk about cells, proteins, hormones, endophins, etc, little fun words that have a lot to do with a lot?  All of your cells, tissues, organs, and glands are receiving information every second from your nerve system to enable your body to be at it’s peak performance.

Commit to a healthy body by understanding the consequences of a vertebral subluxation.  A vertebral subluxation is what chiropractors are trained to check your spine for and if necessary, specifically adjust.  A vertebral subluxation is in essence a central nerve system malfunction.  It is not a pinched nerve, back pain or neck pain.  It diminishes your ability to function at your best by creating stress within the one thing you only have one of: your body.  By neglecting your spine to make sure your have proper alignment you in fact accelerate the process of decay and dysfunction within the body.  A healthy body is directly proportional to a healthy nerve system.  What about eating right and regular exercise?  You are exactly right!  Both of these two variables play huge dividends in how the body operates.  Both of these are not only instrumental to maintaining a healthy body but also rely directly on the nerve system to coordinate movement and process daily nutrients.  No matter how you spin it, everything comes back to the nerve system.  Commit to a healthy body by making sure your nerve system is clear of any dysfunction.  Get Checked.

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.
