How To Stop The Depression

Did you know that the number one reason people seek chiropractic care is for emotional stress?  The biggest contributing factor to adversely affect somebodies health and well-being is their emotional stability.  Depression is the top form of emotional stress that visits our office.  Have you ever experienced the so called butterflies in your stomach before?  When we are emotionally distraught over something our entire body “feels” it.  People say I can feel the stress weighing me down.  Remember the same nerves that send messages to your muscles (where you feel things) also control your vital organs.

Chiropractic & Depression

Specific chiropractic care has been an integral part in helping people with depression since the beginning of chiropractic.  A natural solution for handling emotional instability starts with the central nerve system.  Heavy abuse of medication to suppress ones ability to even “feel” is not allowing someone to heal nor overcome their emotional stress.  Imagine having emotional stress on a continual basis.  Every action you attempt to complete as a result will be altered due to your distress.

The Brain & Rewards

The brain is made up of specific parts.  Every interaction you perform or think of performing in life is maintained via the brain/central nerve system.  Specifically when talking about emotions the part of the brain that regulates and controls those interactions is called the pre-frontal cortex.  All of your behaviors and your emotional stability is programmed specifically in an area of the brain.

The Adjustment

Guess what happens when your body is fully connected with no limitations?  After a specific adjustment is administered, your body has no other option but to establish proper connection with your pre-frontal cortex.  Ultimately it’s the game changer.  Hormone’s, endorphin’s, and an overall sense of healing is established.  Like releasing the air in an inflated balloon, chiropractic adjustments reduce the stress and tension and.  The research is out there, do your own and just Google depression and chiropractic.  Enjoy healing.

Building A Healthy Lifestyle

The magic bean in building a healthy lifestyle is consistency.  Obliviously it is consistency with something that is beneficial toward your health.  Building a healthy lifestyle begins in childhood when life lessons are being taught and established for a lifetime to come. Building health requires that we nurture the body from the inside out.   The beginning steps of a healthy lifestyle start with exercise, nutrition and regular check-ups with your chiropractor.  The question is will you take the time to actually follow these guidelines?

The Foundation Of A Healthy Lifestyle

Let’s start with chiropractic.  Chiropractic allows the body to function at it’s best, without medication, surgery, lotion, or any potions to the body.  It is the most natural form of health care out there today and tomorrow, and for a lifetime.  As our children are growing there are certain windows of opportunity to make sure they are developing at their fullest potential.  Building health requires that we nurture the body from the inside out.  Chiropractic focuses specifically on the central nerve system which coordinates and controls all other cells in the human body.  Making health a priority begins with regular chiropractic check-ups so that your nerve system is clear and connected.  Healthy nerve system, healthy life.

Consistency

Without proper motion life can seemingly not exist.  Life is motion and motion is life.  Regular physical exercise is paramount to building a strong physical base that can withstand the impacts of life.  It is essential that you find an outlet for the stress that you endure on a day to day basis.  Go for a walk, do some yoga, life weights…whatever you find that allows you to rejuvenate your energy. Exercise is effective at reducing stress, improving immune function, lowering blood pressure, improving cardiac function, boosting energy, improving sleep, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

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

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.

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.

 

Healthy Immune System

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Healthy Immune System

What is a healthy immune system?  Definition of the immune system: Is the body’s defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response.  A healthy immune system means that your body is operating to its fullest potential, regardless of the obstacles put in its way.  On the rise in our society are countless pathologies associated with auto-immune disorders or just sickness all together.  In order for sickness to occur your immune system has to be compromised along the way.  “It is apparent that a continuous concerted monitoring of immune system activities, and responding by the somatosensory and automatic nervous systems, is important to maintain HEALTH – and that a balance of afferent and efferent neuronal activity must be maintained to avoid pathology” (CELL).  To sum up the statement: a well-balanced nerve system is essential to provide specific actions/health within ones immune system.

A healthy immune system is balanced with a healthy diet, regular exercise and…of course a healthy functional nerve system supplying the cells of the immune system.  The cellular level, your body is maintained and operates down to the cellular level.  The body functions properly only because the cells constantly communicate with each other.  Your immune system, every day, is regulating and improving cells to adequately function and maintain life.  Your immune system’s ability to coordinate proper cells is directly correlated with how your nerve system functions and operates.  The nerve system is your body’s master controller, everything and I mean EVERYTHING that your body does is directly controlled by your nerve system.

A subluxation occurs in the body and places stress upon your entire central nerve system.  A subluxation is what chiropractors are trained to find and correct.  When a subluxation is present it disrupts the body’s proper functioning ability.  A subluxation is something that you necessarily do not “feel” right away, instead you develop continual signs and symptoms.  Imagine being constantly sick, low energy, poor quality of life, etc.  A subluxation can plague your body and places your immune system in a constant state of FIGHT!  Give your immune system the proper ability to sustain life and function appropriately with specific chiropractic care.  No drugs are required!  Get checked for possible subluxations that destroying your quality of life.

 

Degenerative Disc Disease Is Not Hereditary

Degenerative Disc Disease Is Not Hereditary

Degenerative disc disease gets some bad reps; understand that it’s not a good thing to have and is often misunderstood.  Just because your mother might have degenerative disc disease does not mean that you have to have it nor will have it.  First, recognize that even though it has the word disease in it, it is not actually a disease.  Second, we think that all older people will have degenerative disc disease, which is also not true.  Most people that have degenerative disc disease will say that they are shrinking as they are growing older, they might say my bones are shrinking!  When in actuality your bones are sort of growing and therefore destroying the disc space in between the bones. You are shrinking because your disc space is decreasing.

How does degenerative disc disease even appear/manifest/or happen?  First, let’s cover what a subluxation is.  A subluxation occurs in your spinal column that places pressure upon one or more spinal nerves which creates an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  It creates havoc within your entire body, not just the one or more nerves being affected.  When a subluxation exists for a period of time uncorrected it creates instability within your spinal column.  If you have instability within your spinal column for an extended period of time your body will begin to stabilize itself.  When your body begins to stabilize the spinal column it will do so with the strongest material that it is capable of developing, bone.  Degenerative disc disease can first start out as fragments of calcification leading to formation of bone (bone spurs).  Think of it this way: if your house is leaning over and is unstable, you are going to build upon it with a strong support system in place.  Your body will do the same thing!

Individuals with degenerative disc disease can have safe and effective chiropractic adjustments to maintain the amount of growth present.  Chiropractors cannot take away the degeneration that occurred, but can maintain the growth by providing specific chiropractic adjustments to form proper stability within the spinal column.  Get your nerves checked!

 

Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic

By | ADHD, Asthma, Benefits of Chiropractic

Fibromyalgia and Chiropractic

Fibromyalgia and chiropractic share a common trait.  Fibromyalgia often expresses itself by attacking our muscles and giving us chronic tension throughout the day.  Fibromyalgia and chiropractic are associated due to the fact that we are dealing with the musculoskeletal system.  More specifically though, we are dealing with the nerve system that regulates and controls those individual muscles.  Individuals who are burdened with fibromyalgia often have a quality of life that is based around their symptoms and how they are feeling that day.  Chronic pain and tightness in joints, difficulty concentrating, headaches and other possible symptoms do not have to be controlling your way of life.  The cause of fibromyalgia is often linked to accidents, chronic illness or some other incident that often leads people to second guess if they actually have fibromyalgia.  Looking for the cause?  Look to the master control system, the nerve system.

Fibromyalgia and chiropractic are related due to the fact that your nerve system is the top player in the scenario.  Chiropractic focuses specifically on the nerve system and making sure that by checking the nerve system, we are directly going after the cause of your problem and not the signs and symptoms.  Any sign and symptom that may appear is your body’s best way of functioning.  Fibromyalgia produces many signs and symptoms, all of these have to have a reason and a CAUSE.

When a vertebrae moves out of proper position and applies pressure on a single nerve, this creates an entire central nerve system disturbance.  Which means the entire body enters into a protection mode to survive as best as it can.  Enter the chronic state of “fight” and chronic illness.  Fibromyalgia and chiropractic address your cause by allowing your body to heal and to function by removing dysfunction from the entire body.  This is only done with specific and accurate adjustments to the spine to allow proper function.  By restoring proper communication to the body, you in turn allow the entire body to express its optimal potential.

Why Kids Chiropractic?

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Why Kids Chiropractic?

Why kids chiropractic?  Why not!  Our kids our going through some important milestones as they continue to grow and develop.  All of these developmental milestones are regulated and controlled by their nerve system.  Chiropractors are nerve system specialist who locate and if necessary adjust subluxations that create dysfunction in the body.  A subluxation creates a central nerve system discommunication with the rest of the body by placing stress on the nerve system itself.  Kids experience rapid development of their spine and nerve system in their first years of life.  By seeking regular chiropractic care, you allow your kid to develop and function to their optimal potential.  Chiropractic is noninvasive, no medication is required, and no surgery is required.  Specific chiropractic adjustments allow the body to heal by returning normal communication to and from brain to body.

In some cases people might say that kids chiropractic is not valid because they don’t have back pain  Back pain?  Judging our child’s health based on pain is a flawed system.  When we say that adjustments allow the body to heal by returning normal COMMUNICATION to and from brain to body, we are saying that initially there has to be a disconnect.  A disconnect in the human body occurs at the nerve system level, specifically speaking a subluxation.  A disconnect allows signs and symptoms to appear: colic, constipation, digestive issues, ear infections, sensory processing disorders, asthma, allergies and other challenges.  Our newborn child or developing kid is not going to be telling us about pain, they are going to be admitting sign and symptoms to let us know that something is wrong.  Kids chiropractic focuses on improving proper development by allowing the body to communicate without a disconnect.  Suffering from health challenges for a kid is not the way to go nor is it normal development.  Kids chiropractic is for all kids regardless of challenges to ensure a sustainable life.
