While an aspirin may be an effective way for some people to “treat” the pain of headaches, for others, popping pills just doesn’t cut it… so they turn to chiropractic. But does chiropractic work for treating headaches?

What Does The Research Say?

In 2001, researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, North Carolina noticed the patients who had undergone chiropractic treatment felt relief significantly faster after undergoing spinal adjustments.

Then a 1995 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics shows that people who had received chiropractic care showed tremendous benefits. This is largely different from medication and pill-based treatment, which requires the patient to take in a suggested dose on a regular basis to mask their pain.

Muscular Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are usually caused by muscle contractions in your head, neck, and shoulder muscles. They are one of the most common headaches experienced by most Americans and are often caused by “emotional stress” that lead to stiffness in your muscles and joints.

Tension headaches, if not properly treated, can lead to a vicious circle of more muscular tension leading to more intense headaches. Chiropractic adjustments can be employed to help tension headaches because it restores the proper alignment of your spine and at the same time releases the built-up tension in your muscles.

Serious Vascular Headaches

Headaches that arise due to abnormalities in your vascular system (arteries) are more commonly known as “migraines”. Although many Americans experience at least one migraine over the course of their lives, nobody knows the exact reason why they exist.

Medical studies have shown that migraines are sometimes triggered by a change in the hormones arising from exposure to food, smells, changes in the weather, and even emotional stress. When these changes in your body’s hormone levels occur, the blood vessels located in your head dilate, causing other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual auras, followed by a severe headache that cannot be treated effectively or even disguised by aspirin and other over-the-counter medications.

Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they free up your nervous system. Migraine headaches can be treated and prevented effectively with Chiropractic care at this office. If you or someone you know is suffering from headaches, make an appointment today.

I have never gotten a flu shot and here is why.

The effectiveness of the flu vaccine is exaggerated. The strains for the vaccine are selected a year in advance. That’s important for you to know because researchers guess on what strain will prevail each flu season. They have no other way of knowing. And if they guess wrong, the vaccine is useless.

So, many people who get the flu vaccine wind up getting the flu anyway. But it’s worse than that because the flu vaccine comes with some pretty significant toxins, like:

• Thimerosal – a preservative used in multi-dose flu vaccines. It contains 49.6% mercury by weight.1 Mercury has been linked to brain injury, organ failure and muscle weakness.
• Triton X-100 – a detergent and mercury derivative
• Polysorbate 80 – a potential carcinogen
• Formaldehyde – classified as a human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency

What’s more, it really isn’t good for the very young or the very old – the folks who are supposed to need it most. For example, more people than ever age 70 and older are getting flu shots.2

Meanwhile, the University of Alberta did a study in which one group of people got a flu shot, and one didn’t. More people died in the group that didn’t get the vaccine … but when researchers looked more carefully and adjusted for other factors like existing health conditions, there was no difference between the groups.3

Children as young as six months are being recommended for flu shots, too. But get this: One study presented at an American Thoracic Society conference in San Diego revealed that children who took the flu vaccine had three times the risk of being hospitalized soon after taking the shot, compared to those who didn’t. For children with asthma, the number was even higher.

But this isn’t the only side effect of the flu vaccine. It can cause everything from headache, vomiting, fever and muscle aches to encephalitis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome4 and neurological disorders.

Here are some easy ways to avoid the flu without taking a shot:

• Get a boost of Vitamin D. A study published in Nature Immunology this year found that T-cells – your body’s major infection fighters – don’t mobilize against viruses without vitamin D.5 Vitamin D essentially activates these cells and supercharges your immunity. So soak up at least 20 minutes of sun a day. And eat vitamin-D-rich foods like cod liver oil, eggs, milk and orange juice fortified with vitamin D, sardines, tuna, beef liver and Swiss cheese. Or you can supplement. I recommend at least 2,000 I.U.
• Eat foods rich in Vitamin C. Eat plenty of citrus fruits, broccoli, beef steak and oysters. This will help you maintain a super strong immune system. You also can take supplements. I recommend 2,000 mg daily.
• Add some immune-boosting herbs
  • Garlic is one of nature’s best germ killers.
  • Oregano oil and turmeric help prevent viruses and ease cold symptoms.
  • Green tea contains anti-bacterial properties.
• Get plenty of rest. You need eight hours of sleep each day. By losing sleep, you rob your immune system of the energy it needs to fight infection,6 and you’ll catch more colds and flu viruses.
• Exercise. Get some each day but don’t go overboard. Too much exercise can actually stress the body and weaken your immunity. Twenty minutes a day of varied intensity exercise is all you need.
• Keep up your regular chiropractic adjustments, remember the nervous system controls the Immune system.

To Your Good Health.

Men

Most people really don’t know this, but we are particularly well-suited to the special needs of pregnant women, new mothers, women who are overweight, who are in stressful situations, and others who need special attention so they can learn how to protect and strengthen their bones, nerves, joints, muscles and overall health.

Millions of women rely on chiropractors because of the caring interaction that develops between patient and doctor and because of chiropractic’s effective combination of expert care, effective spinal adjustments, exercise and nutritional guidance, plus some lifestyle counseling.

Chiropractic offers demonstrated relief for many of the specific health challenges that affect women based on their female anatomy and the fact that the female body is designed to be able to bear children.

Pregnancy and the menstrual cycle are centrally important health matters for women. Being pregnant, preparing for pregnancy, and recovering from childbirth are just some of the uniquely female issues. Pain during the menstrual period (dysmenorrhea), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and chronic pelvic pain are among the distressing conditions which disrupt the otherwise healthy lives of many women.

Older women are much more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s disease (which burdens the afflicted with near-total memory loss and reduced mental functioning) and osteoporosis (in which the bones become weak, brittle, and porous; the posture stooped with the shoulders rounded). These are just two of the problems of aging that women must be aware of and can take steps to prevent.

Women may get headaches during menstrual periods and pregnancy, as well as under ordinary circumstances. Women are more likely to be bothered enough by headache pain to seek a way to overcome it. Similarly, women are often victims of osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) and have a 200 to 300 percent greater chance than men of suffering rheumatoid arthritis. Make sure you are checked on a regular basis. Chiropractic can help all the seven symptoms listed above.

Build your immune system and you’ll protect yourself the right way without shots!

How do you do that naturally then?

You get adjusted!

Studies show that being adjusted twice a week can increase your immune system function by up to 400%.

Secondly, you need to limit the amount of sugar in your diet!

Studies have shown that sugar depresses your immune system. Foods to avoid would be the added sugar to your coffee, any soda you drink, sweetened drinks with a high sugar reading, any type of candy, alcoholic beverages and any white flour products. Then my favorite is this. Drink more water! Also, don’t forget – wash your hands frequently.

If you use natural things, then you’ll love using natural disinfectants like essential oils that FIGHT viruses (things like: eucalyptus, lemon, lavender, and tea tree oil are the most popular and should be used during the flu season).

How Do You Disinfect a Room?

To disinfect a room from the flu virus, you should buy a new plant sprayer, use warm but not boiling water inside the bottle, add 4 drops of an oil listed above (your choice) per one cup of water, then shake it before each use and spray on all the hard surfaces throughout your house and use a clean rag to wipe down the surfaces. You can also disinfectant a room by spraying the mixture into the air. Just spray it and leave it.

(If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!)

More than half of all the babies born since 2000 can expect to live to 100.  That comes from the Lancet but we won’t be around to find out if they’re right. Researchers tell us that thirty percent of aging is based on genetics and that 70% is attributed to lifestyle choices.

Most likely your oldest relative lived to be around 75.  So you have their genes. Adjust your lifestyle and enjoy the quality of life you deserve.

Nervous System Facts:

Your brain has more than a billion neurons. That might not mean much to you, but that allows it to store more than 100 trillion bits of information which no computer can compete with. It regenerates constantly and can renew its cells, even in adulthood. It communicates via your spinal cord to every cell, tissue and organ in your body through 45 miles of nerves. These 45 miles of nerves relay over 3 million messages every second between your brain and every cell in your body at speeds up to 170 m.p.h.

Regeneration is possible with Chiropractic.

Spinal Injury Research Facts: 8-10 mm of pressure, the weight of a single dime, can reduce spinal nerve transmission. 10 mm of pressure can interfere with the nutrition of a nerve, starving it of nutrients. Here’s the key though: if you have “nerve compression,” it can exist without pain. That means you can have nerve compression with absolutely NO SYMPTOMS. Stretching a nerve 6% can decrease the strength of its impulse by 70% and this happens to people everyday. After two weeks of immobilization, scar tissue can appear in the bone.

How Spinal Subluxations Happen.

This is something most people don’t understand. They think you have to fall or be in an auto accident to become misaligned. Nothing could be further from the truth. Subluxations or misalignments, if you will, are caused by the birth process, the falls associated with learning to walk, childhood play, growth spurts, body and weight changes, physical, chemical and mental stress (which everyone has,) intense emotional experiences, auto accidents, work injuries, environmental toxicity, food poisoning, sports injuries, intensive training, hormonal changes, poor posture, excess sitting, trips and falls, and sickness or disease. I think that just about covers it, but I know I left some things out. Just because you don’t have any symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t have any nerve problems. Don’t rely on your symptoms to tell you if you need an adjustment. Get checked regularly.

The fact is your spine requires maintenance, as do your skin, ears, fingernails, and hair. Just think of what you put your spine through each day! A stress-filled job, poorly designed chairs, repetitive motions, a lack of exercise, a sagging mattress and countless “microtraumas” that accumulate over time. Your spine, and the nervous system it protects, is being constantly assaulted by the way we live our busy lives.

And while a way to “floss your spine” hasn’t been invented, a visit to our office is even better. Each adjustment is focused on returning life and motion to each joint so your spine lasts you a lifetime!

Chiropractic is an investment in your health!
