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.

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.

Emotional Stress Plaguing The Body

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

Emotional Stress Plaguing The Body

Emotional stress is something that most individuals deal with on a daily basis.  Emotional stress can be a variety of things ranging from: depression, jealousy, paying bills, public speaking, your job, divorce, and the list goes on and on.  Regardless of how you handle emotional stress it still takes a toll on the body, especially if it is something that keeps reoccurring every single day.  Contrary to popular belief emotional stress is the number one reason why people seek chiropractic care.  We often think of physical pain in the low back or neck as the top reason to see a chiropractor.  Emotional stress takes the cake, imagine if in fact you do have a physical condition do you not think that your going to be constantly worrying about it?

Emotional stress is one of the biggest stressors on the body, not just physical trauma.  If you are constantly thinking about something in a negative manner your entire physiology is changed.  Negative hormones, endorphins, and overall chemistry of the body is negatively affected with stress.  In simplest terms you can often see somebody who is under emotional turmoil, they do not look well, their head-space is somewhere else, and their overall quality of life is lessened by this stress.  This constant stress wreaks havoc on the entire body and often can cause subluxations within the body.  Now, what we are not saying is that if you all of a sudden you get a letter from the IRS for owing taxes for a million dollars and you instantly create a subluxation.  It’s not like POOF, subluxation created!  It takes time for your body to create dysfunction.

A vertebral subluxation occurs in the spine which places stress upon one or more nerves.  A subluxation is not a pinched nerve, it is an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  Chiropractic focuses on checking the nerves to make sure proper function and communication is sustained throughout the body.  After receiving a specific chiropractic adjustment your body has no other alternative but to function accordingly and to allow your body to adapt and to heal.  After an adjustment there is proven research that your hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex in your brain begin to “fire” and take appropriate steps in making sure the body is working at optimal potential.  These two components of the brain are major regulators of allowing your body to function at peak performance.  Emotional stress we encounter daily, by giving your body the best chance available by functioning at optimal performance is your best chance to adapt and heal accordingly.

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.

Benefits Of Chiropractic

The benefits of chiropractic care are far from in between.  The most common benefits of chiropractic care that people often associate with is our back or neck pain relief.  While chiropractic care can definitely help you with one of those issues, that is like robbing a bank and just stealing the pens and leaving the money.  The true benefits of chiropractic care are not with the decreased sensation of pain, it is allowing your body to heal and express your true potential.  Chiropractic care focuses specifically on the nerve system.  The nerve system is the master control system for everything in the human body. Every organ, cell, tissue and gland is regulated and controlled via the nerve system.  Chiropractic care directly influences your entire body to function as a unit and allow you to express your true potential.

Some Benefits Of Chiropractic

The benefits of chiropractic include : improved sports performance, stimulates the immune system, behavioral disorders, increased energy, better sleep, eliminating ear infections, decreased use of medication, reduced chronic sickness and disease….this list could go on and on.  Chiropractic care is specific to you as your body is, it has to be!  Chiropractic care focuses specifically on nerves that are causing distress within the central nerve system.  A subluxation occurs in the spine, which places stress upon a nerve, thus decreasing the communication from brain to nerve.  As a subluxation exists for periods of time without being corrected your body will begin to become dysfunctional.  Dysfunction is expressed through your body via signs and symptoms.   By specifically adjusting the subluxation that is causing dysfunction within your body, that nerve will begin to “turn on” and allow you to heal and adapt thus experiencing benefits of chiropractic.  Treat your body right with specific chiropractic car to enable you to function at your fullest potential.

Athletic Performance Via Chiropractic

Athletic Performance Via Chiropractic

Athletic performance through chiropractic care?  Having the winning edge comes with specific training and making sure your body is functioning at its peak performance.  Regular practice in your specific sport can only do so much for you if your body is not working at full capacity.  The full capacity part comes without drugs, surgery or performance enhancing drugs!  It comes with regular chiropractic care.  Athletes are usually measured with how strong, fast, or talented they are which is focusing on the musculoskeletal system.  Chiropractic allows your musculoskeletal system to be functioning at 100% by directly focusing on the nerve system.  The nerve system is the master control system, it regulates and allows everything to function by making sure everything is properly connected.  

“I would estimate that at least 90% of world class athlete use chiropractic on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their athletic performance” – Sean Atkins, Ph.D.  Athletic performance can be measured on overall function in an athlete.  Injuries, repetitive stress on joints, and overall developing the body to have optimal athletic performance can disable certain functions.  Seeking out regular chiropractic care enables your body to be at its peak performance.  Nerve dysfunction hinders athletic performance by decreasing response time, muscle development, and overall athletic ability.  Nerve dysfunction is what chiropractors are trained for to enable your athletic performance to be at its peak.  A vast majority of your nerves daily routine is firing and sending communication to your muscles.  Gravity is and will always plague the body in disproportional ways if nerve dysfunction is present.  This means using energy unnecessarily and in disproportion to your overall needs = decreasing your reaction time, healing, and overall metabolism.   Performance is directly related to your central nerve system and how your body interprets communication.  Function is only established with a clear communicating nerve system.  Look for the winning edge, enhance your athletic performance with specific chiropractic care.

Computer Posture

By | ADHD, Benefits of Chiropractic

Computer Posture

Computer posture in our society is becoming a struggle as more and more individuals are sitting for an extended period of time at their desk.  Correct computer posture is key for a lifetime of proper spinal alignment and allowing your body to continue to work day in and day out without any problems.  So, here are some basic simple principles when sitting down on the computer for an extended period of time.  When visualizing your monitor it is key that the bottom of the monitor be slightly above your eyes or have the monitor perpendicular to your eyes.  If you are constantly looking down at the monitor you are placing stress upon the neck muscles.  The arms need to be at a neutral position almost in a 90-degree angle when typing on the keyboard.  Computer posture for sitting down should be with a slight curve in your lumbar region.  Make sure the curve is actually in your lumbar spine and not in your pelvis.  The feet need to be flat on the floor periodically moving them.   Limit the amount of leaning forward while looking at the monitor for this adds stress upon the neck muscles yet again.

Correct computer posture is key to longevity in your current profession.  Understand that sitting down on the spine is like sugar to the teeth, it adds up over time if done incorrectly.  Chiropractic allows you to function and enable correct computer posture by allowing your nerve system to function correctly.  Overtime incorrect computer posture will wreak havoc on the muscles.  This is in part due to the amount of strain that is placed on the muscles for having to compensate.  Remember you are always fighting gravity on a daily basis, it is your nerve systems responsibility to send proper messages to the muscles to make sure they are firing appropriately and working correctly.  If you are compensating with poor posture your muscles will be working harder and faster than they should be, which in turn can create nerve system dysfunction.  Regular chiropractic care allows your nerve system to be connected without dysfunction so your muscles work accordingly.  Proper computer posture teamed up with regular chiropractic care is a win-win!

The Immune System Vs The Flu

By | ADHD, Asthma, Benefits of Chiropractic, Ear Infections

The Immune System Vs The Flu

That time of the year is already upon us as we get ready for the upcoming holidays.  When we get to challenge our immune system and see how our body handles the constant bombardment of The Flu!  Remember the flu is not an actual season, it can happen or occur at any time of the year (for the sake of this blog we will keep it intact that it’s an actual season).  The immune system regulates and controls a vast array of organs, tissues, glands, and cells to make up what we know as the immune system.  We often overlook the immune system and only recognize its inabilities when we become sick.  The immune system is constantly running, thriving, and upgrading every single day.  Your body is constantly exposed to new pathogens (invaders to the body) and it’s the immune systems responsibility on how you perceive and interpret this data.  When The Flu strikes your body, you begin to have signs and symptoms.

Signs and symptoms that your immune system is compromised from the flu are far from in between.  You could feel sluggish, run down, develop a cough, sneezing, fever, chest congestion, diarrhea, etc.  The flu is not just one symptom that your body shows, but rather a bunch of signs and symptoms put together.  When your immune system is compromised and you develop a sign and symptom your body should fight and defend itself for 1-2 days and then restore normal function.  You should not be sick for weeks at a time or longer than 3 days, if this is the case then your body is taking a little longer than expected.  Why would that be the case?  Possibly due to a dysfunctional nerve system leading to an unhealthy immune system!  What if you are constantly getting sick over and over again? Again, possibly due to a dysfunctional nerve system leading to an unhealthy immune system!

Subluxations occur within the spine which create a central nerve system DYSFUNCTION.  Subluxations are what chiropractors are trained to find and adjust.  Imagine a subluxation as being a downed power line, it’s a dangerous situation to be in. Power is still being transmitted but is not sending and receiving the proper information.  A subluxation still allows the nerve to send messages, but not too its full potential nor to the right amount.  This in time will lead to a depressed immunity which inhibits your true potential on how you respond to the flu or any pathogen for that matter.  Your nerve system regulates and controls all other systems within the body.  The immune system is not overlooked, if at the first sign of the flu you jump to use medication you are losing the fight.  By just masking signs and symptoms with medication you never realize the potential that your immune system can have.  Proper health begins with a healthy functioning nerve system.  Get your nerves checked to allow you to fight the healthy battle.
