Health Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustment

by

Chiropractic AdjustmentDemand for Chiropractic care has been increasing. Studies from American Journal of Public Health continue to demonstrate the rising numbers and increase of people utilizing chiropractic care. There has been more than 100% increase of visits to Chiropractors in the past two decades. Many people choose this method of treatment because it is none-invasive approach and helps the body to heal and be healthier, stronger and more resilient.

Chiropractic Care and Healing Benefits

Everyday stress creates micro injuries in our bodies. If these micro injuries are not treated the person will eventually get sick from a dysfunction in a musculoskeletal system. People who have physically demanded jobs, sport activities, and activities of daily living can not function with these micro injuries. The traumatized parts of the body will cause extra pain and stress and possibly will get injured even more. Chiropractic care helps to prevent this from happening plus a person gets additional benefits such as: improved immune function, better athletic performance, pain relief, and overall great quality of life.

Regular Chiropractic care provides the following benefits:

• Person can be more relaxed

• Future injury prevention and improved immune function

• Increased oxygenation and better nutrient delivery to cells

• Enhanced flexibility

• Pain reduction or complete elimination

• Faster recovery time

Combination of your general health and overall wellbeing go along with chiropractic care. When we are talking about health, we are not talking about the absence of pain and symptoms. Do you remember a trip to a dentist when you have that terrible toothache? Deep down you already know that damage to your tooth is already there and the only thing you can hope that your dentist will do a good job fixing it. So, why do the same thing with your health. Why see your doctor with a variety of symptoms? It is important to stay healthy and chiropractic care will be able to help you to stay healthy and happy. Remember, nervous system controls everything in your body! Minimise dis-ease and maximize your health potential att all times.

Here is a list of tips that will help you to maximize your health potential

  • Drink plenty of water during the day
  • Eat lost of organic foods and leafy greens, it will help you to keep your enzyme level up.
  • Stretch and Exercise on regular bases
  • Maximize your Oxygen intake via aerobic exercises

Research continues as we look at the cause of health and the benefits of chiropractic care!

Chiropractic adjustment improves movement and alignment of the spine and surrounding spinal structures. Often time patients will experience relief of symptoms and improve of function soon after chiropractic care. Chiropractic care helps to restore your health from inside out and does not require recovery period. Surgery and medical procedures often require long recovery periods.

Treasure your health like the most important asset you have ever owned. Eat right, sleep right and don’t be afraid to make positive changes in your life.

Chiropractic Miracle Story While I was in a Student Clinic

by

nervoscopeThis is a story about five year old girl who was my patient while I was an intern in student clinic at Life Chiropractic College West. The life of this little girl was completely devastated by frequent urination symptoms. She had to go to the bathroom about six to seven times an hour. Can you imagine your life like this?

Prior coming to see me she was under the constant observation of her pediatric doctor. I don’t remember at this point and time the exact treatment parameters of her doctor, but I do remember that it did not work all. Her parents were desperate and were ready to try the unknown field of Chiropractic. Both parents were very concerned about the impact of this problem on development of their child.

I did a thorough chiropractic examination. I used Gonstead nervoscope to determine which vertebral level had the most inflammation. Nervoscope is very sensitive to heat. When you move it along the spine subluxated areas of the spine will be inflamed and will exert heat. An arrow on the nervoscope will move if such inflamed area is detected.  My nervoscope had very strong reading at L4 vertebral level (read this post Relationship of the Nervous System and Spine to Organs). When I pressed the spinous process of L4 vertebrae with my thumb it was very sore and the girl jumped because of the pain level. Left rotation and left lateral bending were also restricted. Back then I did not have any physical therapy modalities and certainly did not have my own massage therapist. All I had was the power of chiropractic in my hands and my adjusting skills to help this little girl.

After first two visits the frequency of urination has gone down from six to seven times an hour to about two or three times an hour. After her sixth visit her symptoms disappeared completely and she stopped frequent urination completely. This happened about ten years ago and I am pretty sure if the problem would return she would be back in my office. But the only person I saw sometime in 2009 was her father for minor sprain in his right shoulder. I asked him how is his little girl is doing. He replied: “Little girl is not so little anymore, she turned into a princess.”  Her father confirmed that the problem has never returned and she was fine ever since I saw her last time.

Wellness Chiropractic Care or Symptom Based Care

by

Wellness or PainThis month I have seen my three old patients who have not received chiropractic care for a very long time. The treatment gap varies for each of them. For one patient it was a year and a half, for another nine months, and for the third one it was six months gap. All three patients made an appointment to see me because their pain symptoms got so bad that none of them could function properly on day to day bases. Their quality of life has gone down to the point that it was basically a painful existence.

I have asked all of these patients the same question.  “Why would you wait for so long that your pain level has gone to the point that you can not enjoy your activities of daily living?” The first patient told me that He felt good for a long time since he saw me last time and gradually his symptoms reappeared and got worse. This gentleman has to seat in his office chair for 10 hours a day six days a week. When he walked in to my office his posture looked like a question mark.  Pretty scare stuff. He was crying like a baby when my massage therapist was working on his soft tissue. The second person was a patient who had a sport injury while skiing. Her neck and mid back were in pretty bad shape. The worse symptom was her eye site. She was loosing it very rapidly. Prescription glasses had to be replaced every other month. About twelve sessions of therapy brought her eye site back to normal, to the point where she did not need to wear any glasses. Neck and mid back pain has disappeared. Good results in a relatively short period of time. Third person had a bad case of TMJ. After several sessions utilizing SOT technique and some other tools his problem was resolved and he was very pleased with the results.

My advice to all of these three patients was to come back once a month for maintenance cares. I like to compare our bodies to a vehicle.  Everyone changes oil in their vehicle every 3000-5000 miles depending on the oil they use. After certain mileage we change tires, rotate them and balance the wheels. Tune up is a must for every car and changing brake pads is an inevitable process. Human body needs the same thing.

Every day stress creates micro injuries in our bodies. These micro injuries turn into more serious problem over time. For some it takes longer for some it takes much faster. Maintenance or Wellness care is the same thing as the tune up for your vehicle, oil change, and brake pad replacement. Without these basic things the vehicle will not run properly, and eventually will brake down. The same thing will happen to our bodies in a form of pain and eventually disease. My question is:  “Is it better to have a healthy quality of life or to live in a miserable existence.” Choice is always yours.
