The respiratory system works with the circulatory system to provide oxygen and to remove the waste products of metabolism.

A growing body of research is showing the link between spinal structure and the role of chiropractic in respiratory health and function.

Hyperkyphosis is often associated with adverse health consequences including impaired physical function, pain and disability, impaired pulmonary function, and increased mortality.

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction likely plays a role in chronic upper airway inflammatory disease.

Further investigation may lead to a better understanding of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in these disorders and hence, opportunities for innovative solutions.

A study of respiratory dysfunction in chronic neck pain patients demonstrated a strong association between an increased forward head posture and decreased respiratory strength.

83% of the participants reported improvements in lung function and exercise performance following spinal adjustment procedures.

Please call (719) 359-9947 to schedule an appointment.

Chiropractor helping ease pain of pregnancy and delivery.

The science of chiropractic was founded on the premise that a properly functioning nervous system is the foundation of health, and that the structural integrity of the spinal column must be maintained in order to facilitate optimal nervous system transmission and communication.

More women are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care during pregnancy as well as labor and delivery. Chiropractic care improved the quality of life for pregnant patients in a recent study.

The authors noted that approximately 76% of chiropractors practicing in the United States provide chiropractic adjustments to pregnant women to address pregnancy-related complaints, and to some extent “wellness care.”

57% of their nurse-midwife responders recommended chiropractic to their pregnant patients to address pregnancy-related issues.

Dr. Irvin Henderson, studied the effect of chiropractic adjustments on labor and delivery, reporting that women who received chiropractic adjustments in their third trimester were able to carry and deliver their child with much more comfort.

Regular adjustments can make pregnancy less stressful and delivery less uncomfortable. Chiropractic treatment can continue safely until the day of delivery. By encouraging regular chiropractic and maternal self-care patient’s probability of a successful natural delivery.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can provide benefits for women who are pregnant. Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:
Maintaining a healthier pregnancy.
Controlling symptoms of nausea.
Reducing the time of labor.
Reducing time of delivery
Relieving back, neck, or joint pain.
Prevent potential cesarean delivery.

Forward head posture (FHP) is the anterior positioning of the cervical spine and is commonly referred to as “Text Neck”.

Negative effects include cervical dysfunction, muscle, joint, and neural system sensitivity as well as a significant contributing factor in a variety of health conditions.

Forward head posture leads to long term muscle strain, disc herniations, arthritis, and pinched nerves.

Head in a forward posture can add up to thirty pounds of abnormal leverage on the cervical spine. This can pull the entire spine out of alignment. For every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional ten pounds.


People with uncorrected forward head posture can potentially suffer chronic or unpleasant conditions such as irritated nerves and blood vessels, thoracic outlet syndrome, muscle and tissue pain, syndromes like fibromyalgia, chronic strains, early degeneration, and arthritis.

Do you know someone suffering from "text neck?" We can help! Please call (719) 359-9947 to schedule an appointment.

WE HELP INJURED WORKERS

Decreased on-the-job productivity and employee absence because of health results in significant costs to employees above and beyond medical spending.

Posture related issues in the workplace result in 34% of all lost workday injuries and illnesses.

Non-neutral postures can pull and stretch tendons, blood vessels, and nerves over ligaments or bone where they can become pinched or restricted.

Spinal joint dysfunction affects brain response, accuracy, and performance.

Worker's compensation studies in multiple states indicate a 45-55% saving in overall costs when treatments are provided by a chiropractor instead of a traditional practitioner.

42.7% of workers who first saw a surgeon ended up in surgery, as opposed to only 1.5% of those who first saw a chiropractor.
The most recent and better-designed studies suggest that when chiropractic is utilized in the workplace, it not only reduces the immediate cost of an episode of care but reduces the recurrence of subsequent bouts of chronic conditions.

Please give us a call at (719) 359-9947 to schedule an appointment.

Running is one of the most common forms of exercise but with extensive exercise comes the risk of injury. Runners of all types, from the casual jogger to an elite athlete, can benefit from chiropractic care.

A Canadian research team included chiropractic care in the rehabilitation program of sixteen injured female long-distance runners.

Not only did these runners recover quickly, but seven of them actually scored a "personal best" performance while under chiropractic care.

A landmark research study evaluated the effects that chiropractic adjustments may have on reaction times.

There was a marked improvement for the group that received adjustments over the group that received nothing but rest.

The group that received chiropractic adjustments showed a decrease in reaction time of 97 milliseconds, representing a 14.8% faster reaction time.

Olympic Champion Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive, utilizes chiropractic care not only to perform better but to prevent injury and maximize recovery from his intense training and competing.

A study involving 17 middle distance runners showed that when chiropractic care was performed on a treatment group, they showed significantly greater hip extension ability after chiropractic care than did the control group.
Are you a runner? Let's get you adjusted. Please call (719) 359-9947 to schedule an appointment.

Today we are going to talk about your immune system. We can't talk about health without this! Did you know your immune and nervous systems are connected? It was news to me when I first learned that too.

In a 2004 Nature Immunology study, L. Steinman wrote “the immune system and the nervous system maintain extensive ‘hardwiring’ of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve to lymphoid organs”. This is exciting as we know if the nervous system is working better, the immune system would work better too.

This may be why we often hear patients say they don’t get sick as often while getting chiropractic care. The collected papers of Dr. Irvin Korr states “By releasing stress on the nervous system, chiropractic permits the immune system to function more effectively”.

This comes back to the body’s ability to adapt and heal properly. If we remove the nerve interference, we increase the body’s ability to function. Better function allows the body’s immune system to protect us from Covid-19 and cooties (i.e. bad stuff).

Be sure to let us know if you’ve experienced this yourself.

Yours truly,

Dr Noel

Chiropractic is a health care system that is founded on the premise that a properly functioning nervous system is essential to the overall health and function of the human body.

Chiropractors detect and correct vertebral subluxations by physically adjusting the spine. This restores the nervous system to an optimum level of function, which maximizes the body’s inherent healing potential.

Chiropractic is not a substitute for traditional health care and a growing number of health care professionals are embracing chiropractic for their patients.

Dr. Ron Glick has said “When I started in medical practice over 30 years ago, people would look suspicion at a physician who recommended chiropractic, but that’s not the case anymore.”

Subluxation alone is a rational reason for chiropractic care throughout a lifetime from birth.

Many internal disorders are resolved by the spinal adjustment alone. Leaving the chiropractic adjustment out of the treatment plan invites failure.

Every newborn should receive a neck and spine examination and a chiropractic adjustment if necessary.
Chiropractors tend to have very high patient satisfaction rates and from a public health perspective, we’d see a lot fewer unnecessary tests and hospitalizations, and opioid prescriptions if more people utilized chiropractic.

Let's get you scheduled for an appointment. Please give us a call at (719) 359-9947.

Asthma is a common chronic disease worldwide and affects approximately 30 million people in the U.S., an estimated 7 million of whom are children.
The pathophysiology of asthma is complex and involves airway inflammation, intermittent airflow obstruction, nerve system dysfunction, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
Americans spend over six billion dollars annually on asthma treatment and medications and lose millions in lost wages.
Research has shown that an imbalance may exist in the nervous system that supplies the bronchial tubes of an asthmatic individual.
Abnormal autonomic nervous system responses may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma and other allergic diseases.
A study published in a Holland Medical Journal reported that out of a group of 115 families with asthmatic children, 73% had utilized chiropractic care for asthma, and 92% of the families reported that chiropractic was beneficial for their children.
Please give us a call at (719) 359-9947 to schedule an appointment to discuss how chiropractic care can ease asthmatic symptoms.

Chiropractic for Children.

Doctors of chiropractic have been carefully analyzing and adjusting the spines of children, including infants for well over one-hundred years.

There has been some recent concern from certain groups that the need for chiropractic care in children is not substantiated by research.

A recent study of over 2000 mothers has demonstrated that chiropractic adjustments play an important role in the health and well-being of their children.

An important development in health care in the past decade has been the increasing interest in patient-centered care emphasizing the patient’s perspective on their illness and treatment.

A total of 2001 mothers participated in this study with the majority of the children (79%) being less than 12 weeks of age at the time of initial care.
Improvements were reported across all aspects of infant behavior studied, including feeding problems, sleep issues, excessive crying, problems with supine sleep position, infant pain, restricted cervical range of motion, and time performing prone positioning Maternal ratings of depression, anxiety, and satisfaction with motherhood also demonstrated statistically significant improvement.

82% reported definite improvement of their infants on a global impression of change scale. 95% reported feeling that the care was cost-effective, and 90.9% rated their satisfaction 8 or higher on an 11-point scale.

Minor self-limiting side effects were reported but no adverse events.

Mothers reported that chiropractic care for their infants was effective, safe, and cost-effective. The study’s findings indicate that, on average, the changes observed by mothers were positive and clinically relevant.

Let's get you and your little one scheduled for an adjustment. Please call (719) 359-9947.
