Why should I go to a chiropractor?

The most frightening thing is that you may have spinal nerve stress in your body for years without noticing any effects. Eventually it can weaken you to the point where you’d begin to develop lowered resistance and fall prey to sickness and diseases of all kinds.

The goal of the doctor of chiropractic is to awaken your own natural healing ability by correcting the vertebral subluxation complex (or spinal nerve stress), one of the deadliest, most destructive blockages of life and energy you can suffer from.

By correcting the vertebral subluxation complex your doctor of chiropractic promotes natural healing vitality, strength and health.

Vertebral Subluxation Complex (spinal nerve stress)

If the spinal column is unbalanced the nerve system that it protects is placed under stress, is damaged and is not able to function at 100% capacity. That causes disease or overall body disharmony or malfunction. It interferes with and damages your nerves, ligaments, discs and joints; weakens your muscles; and alters the energies to all parts of your body. Your internal organs may get less blood, even your brain may get less oxygen!

Consider these key points when choosing the right bag for your child:
Weight limit—The bag should not exceed 5-10% of the child’s body weight.
Fit—The bag should not be wider than the child’s torso or hang more than 4 inches below the waist.
Material—A padded back can help protect against contents.
Straps—Adjustable straps contribute to even weight distribution and help prevent shoulder discomfort.
Pockets—Multiple compartments allow for better weight positioning and easier access.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is an inflammation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your lower spine, through your buttocks, and foot. When the sciatic nerve is inflamed, it can cause numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness in your lower back and leg.

Inflamed Joint

If a bone (vertebra) in your lower back isn’t moving properly or out of position, the joint can become inflamed and irritate the sciatic nerve.

Spinal Adjustments and Therapy at Great Health Chiropractic will improve mobility, and relieve pain and stiffness.

Neck Problems and Whiplash

Your neck is jam-packed with nerves, glands, tubes, blood and lymph vessels, and 48 different joints, plus your brain stem, spinal cord, spinal column, muscles, ligaments, tendons, fluids, meninges and more! It also balances your heavy head!!

Whiplash, poor posture, work habits and even birth trauma can cause neck problems.

Neck problems and whiplash can cause headaches, numbness, coldness or “pins-and-needles” in the face, chest, arms, wrist or hands. They can also result in anxiety, insomnia, low back and neck pain, ear ringing, dizziness, hearing loss, eye pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light.

Adjustments and therapy at Great Health Chiropractic will ensure that your nervous system functions at its best.

Help for “pinched” nerves

We need healthy nerves

Without healthy nerves the body is weakened, not able to adapt to environmental stresses and become a candidate for physical and mental diseases.

How do nerves get “ pinched” ?

When the nerves come down from the brain they travel through a bony canal formed by vertebrae. If the vertebrae misaligned slightly they may cause the nerves to be irritated, compresses or stretched along with blood vessels, discus, ligaments, joints, muscles, fascia, tendons, meninges, lymphatics and fat tissue.

What can cause nerve “pinching”?

Some common causes are unnatural sleeping positions, bad posture, fatigue, dental work, a difficult birth, emotional stress, poor nutrition or a combination of stresses ( falling or tripping when fatigued, etc. )

Spinal Adjustments and Therapy at Great Health Chiropractic will relieve irritated nerves and increase movement in your joints and heal “pinched nerve.
