Proven Life-Changing Stress Reducer

Imagine the stress of a parent who loses sight of their child at a huge event with thousands of people. An immediate stress overrides all other body functions in a matter of seconds in order to deal with the physical and emotional response of that moment. The same stress chemicals that course through the body when losing track of a child would be found in a person being chased by a bear.

Stress responses prove very powerful and align perfectly with the situation at hand. Hormone responses and the ensuing change in bodily function intend to alter physiology for a short burst of time. Stress exerts similar influence on the body regardless of whether a person endures a physical, chemical, or mental affliction. All forms of stress produce a chemical release in specific areas of the body that alter health and function. The body returns to normal function if stress hormones release and dissipate in short bursts of less than one minute. Chronic disease symptoms begin occurring when stress response persists for a long period of time.

More and more research shows the relationship between stress hormones and overall body function. Every person afflicted by chronic disease shows increased amounts of stress hormones. Conditions and diseases including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, auto-immunity, autism, ADHD, asthma, allergies, heart disease, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, and sleeping disorders all possess increased amounts of stress hormones and inflammation.

The structure and function of the spine and posture represents one of the most well documented causes and solutions to the presence of increased stress hormones. An intimate and significant relationship exists between the spine and the autonomic nervous system. Deviations in healthy posture and spine position trigger stress in the autonomic nervous system. The nervous system subsequently places the body and brain in a state of stress.

Many medical professionals respond to these stress fueled conditions by prescribing drugs to mask the symptoms. These drugs never truly address the cause of hormonal stress and most medical professionals remain unaware of how beneficial spinal care can be for patients who desire optimal health without the risks of drugs and surgery. Hippocrates earned a reputation as the father of modern medicine nearly 2500 years ago and recommended that health professionals “ look well to the spine, for it is the requisite to many diseases” Research conducted thousands of years later in 2014 proved a direct link between a spinal adjustment and the reduction of stress hormones. Chiropractic care reduces unwanted stress built up in the spine and nervous system.

Nearly half of all Americans claim they feel more stressed than they did five years ago. The use of stress reducing drugs continues to climb yet people claim to be more stressed than ever.
Drugs do not address the cause of stress and evidence proves the need for Chiropractic care as the solution for balancing hormones and restoring proper function. Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress in infants, children, adults, and the elderly. Proper spinal health promotes optimal potential in every individual. Chiropractic works!!

“The Truth About Bottled Water!”

This just in from Men’s Health Magazine: Imagine you have just been given a choice: You must drink from one of two containers. One container is a cup from your own kitchen, and it contains a product that has passed strict state, federal and local guidelines for cleanliness and quality. Oh, and it is free. The second container comes from a manufacturing plant somewhere, and its contents—while seemingly identical to your first choice—have not been subjected to the same strict national and local standards. It costs approximately four times more than gasoline. These products both look and taste nearly identical.

Which do you choose?

If you chose beverage A, congratulations: You just saved yourself a whole lot of money, and, perhaps, even contaminants, too. But if you picked beverage B, then you will be spending hundreds of unnecessary dollars on bottled water this year. Sure, bottled water is convenient, trendy, and may well be just as pure as what comes out of your tap. But it is hardly a smart investment for your pocketbook, your body, or our planet.

You may be drinking tap water.

Case in point: Dasani, a Coca-Cola product. Despite its exotic-sounding name, Dasani is simply purified tap water that has had minerals added back in. For example, if your Dasani water was bottled at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Philadelphia, you are drinking Philly tap water. But it is not the only brand of water that relies on city pipes to provide its product. About 25 percent of all bottled water is taken from municipal water sources, including Pepsi’s Aquafina.

Bottled water is not always pure.

Scan the labels of the leading brands and you see variations on the words “pure” and “natural” and “pristine” repeatedly. And when a Cornell University MARKETING class studied consumer perceptions of bottled water, they found that people thought it was cleaner, with less bacteria. But that may not actually be true.
For example, in a 4-year review that included the testing of 1,000 bottles of water, the Natural Resources Defense Council—one the country’s most ardent environmental crusaders—found that “about 22 percent of the brands we tested contained, in at least one sample, chemical contaminants at levels ABOVE strict state health limits.”

It is not clear where the plastic container ends and the drink begins. Turns out, when certain plastics are heated at a high temperature, chemicals from the plastics may leach into container’s contents. So, there has been a flurry of speculation recently as to whether the amounts of these chemicals are harmful, and whether this is even a concern when it comes to water bottles—which are not likely to be placed in boiling water or even a microwave. While the jury is still out on realistic health ramifications, it seems that, yes, small amounts of chemicals from PET water bottles such as antimony—a semi-metal that is thought to be toxic in large doses—can accumulate the longer bottled water is stored in a hot environment. Which, of course, is probably a good reason to avoid storing bottled water in your garage for six months—or better yet, to just reach for tap instead.

Our country’s high demand for oil is not just due to long commutes. Most water bottles are composed of a plastic called polyethylene terepthalate (PET). Now, to make PET, you need crude oil. Specifically, 17 million barrels of oil are used in the production of PET water bottles ever year, estimate University of Louisville scientists. No wonder the per ounce cost of bottled water rivals that of gasoline. What is more, 86 percent of 30 billion PET water bottles sold annually are tossed in the trash, instead of being recycled, according to data from the Container Recycling Institute. That is a lot of waste—waste that will outlive you, your children, and your children’s children. You see, PET bottles take 400 to 1000 years to degrade.

Which begs the question: If our current rate of consumption continues, where will we put all this discarded plastic?

Slip & Fall Accidents During This Holiday Season

Whether you’re celebrating a snowy holiday or visiting a colder area, it’s important to be careful during this chilly season. Slip and fall accidents happen to people of all ages, it doesn’t matter how physically fit you are! Whether you slip on some ice, trip on a rug, or miss a stair, you should seek chiropractic treatment right away. Many long-term afflictions stem from this sort of personal injury. Your neck and back are at risk! Reach out to your local chiropractic office as soon as possible.

Injured Areas After a Slip and Fall Accident:

When you suffer a slip and fall accident, the commonly injured areas are your back and neck. This is because you often land in these areas, causing your spine to shift out-of-place. You should call our office immediately. Your chiropractor has experience treating a variety of conditions, including lower/upper back and cervical impairments! Here are a few other personal injuries that we care for:
1. Strains and sprains; 2. Whiplash ; 3. Disc Herniation; 4. Bruised ribs
5. Numbness, tingling or pins-and-needles sensations in a body part; 6. Hurt ligaments

These injuries generate a lot of pain and discomfort. Before seeking out over-the-counter or prescription medication, schedule a consultation. We offer holistic and natural treatments that get the job done!

Chiropractic Treatment for Your Injuries:

There’s no need to worry before your appointment. It’s recommended that you write any questions or concerns beforehand, along with a list of your symptoms. This guarantees all your apprehensions are addressed. The appointment starts with a brief history of your injury. You should also provide any relevant medical information, like any other back or spinal conditions. The hurt area, most likely the spine and neck, is then evaluated. In many cases, a spinal disc has moved out-of-place. This pinches and irritates the nerves, creating back spasms and major discomfort. The first step is to realign the spine. Using either their hands or a small tool, your chiropractor moves the disc back into place. It is a quick and painless process! From there, we decide on other techniques to aid your recovery. The severity of the injury determines the treatment. Treatment ranges from things like therapeutic exercise to weekly chiropractic maintenance.

Schedule Your Appointment Today: Don’t hesitate to call after a slip and fall accident. The long-term effects of a personal injury are often overlooked by other medical practitioners. That isn’t the case with chiropractic care. We assist you through your recovery without reliance on drugs. An appointment now saves you from pain and discomfort down the road.
