A lot of the jobs that we do put abnormal strains on our body, leading to changes in our posture and movement.

Chiropractic is no different, and we'll use that for an example.

The old chiropractors used to say that they took the problems of their patients and carried that burden themselves. They were bent over a table every day for years.

While they may have lived the life that they described, it doesn't mean that they had to.

When we focus on building proper movement - through adjustments, strength training, stretching and more - we see normal posture, movement and better quality of life as we age.

What would your xrays say about your habits?

Are they leading you to the life you want to live, or are you going to be carrying the burdens of your profession?

A lot of people think that arthritis is a normal part of aging. It is not.

When we lose movement in one area of the body, another area has to make up for that loss.

When we have one area that moves, other areas are going to move in response (much like this headline talks about in earthquakes).

Normal motion over time leads to normal aging.

Abnormal motion over time leads to degeneration.

The overuse of medications has taken an incredible toll on our country over the past couple decades.

It isn't just opioids that are a problem, though.

People with tesion headaches have also been led to butalbital, which is associated with "medication overuse headaches" - instead of taking away the headache it actually increases them.

Chiropractic care is very effective for tension headaches - those that tend to come on at the end of the day and follow the base of the skull around to the temples/eyes/sinus region.

The cervical spine and musculature is very closely associated with these issues, and when we can improve function and work to restore posture, it can change the lives of the people that suffer with these headaches.

While it is easy to reach for medication when these types of symptoms strike, it isn't always the best solution.

Chiropractic care provides more than just pain relief - it works to restore function.

When we have better function, we produce less inflammation.

Less inflammation leads to less pain in the short-term and less degeneration in the long-term.

The big difference is the change in function. When function is restored, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 is returned.

If you are avoiding your oral health, do so at your own peril.

Our oral health has close ties to our risk of heart diease (among other things).

Why?

Because the health of a part related to the health of the whole.

While the silo-ification of modern healthcare has led us to believe that we need a different doctor for each one of our toes, the fact remains that holistic care is the only true health model.

This is reflected by the studies that show inflammation in one area of the body lead to changes throughout the rest of the body.

Your mouth is no different.

What you eat, how frequently you do your exercises (brushing and flossing in this case), how much stress you face and how much you sleep are all correlated to overall health, and when the first domino starts to fall, it can be a warning sign that other areas aren't far behind.

I am proud to be a part of the chiropractic profession.

When I get around other chiropractors, it's always a boost because they are among the most caring people out there (which is obviously reflected in this statement).

Healthcare is more than what treatment is performed. Being truly cared for can make a world of difference.

The vagus nerve has gotten a lot of attention over the past few years.

It is associated with proper gut health, breathing, heart function and more.

Vagal stimulation has also been associated with improvement in many health challenges.

The cool part?

The vagus nerve is stimulated with each adjustemnt of the upper neck, helping to calm the stress response and allow the body to heal.

We are spending billions of dollars every year looking for a genetic answer to our health problems.

At the same time, we are being bombarded with messaging (propaganda) that tells us it's not our fault, it's our genes that are causing all of our problems.

The problem with this narrative is that it just isn't true.

Any species gets better and better genetic blueprints with each passing generation (the genes that aren't viable don't allow for survival long enough to be passed on). Instead, most of our problems are caused by epigenetics - a switch that tells the gene what to express (health or sickness).

When we look at the overall statistics, 80% of our health challenges are caused by our lifestyles - meaning that if we change our choices 80% of our problems could be avoided or healed.

You're stuck with the genes you were dealt, but you aren't stuck with the amount of health that you have.

Don't let someone else steal your power to get healthy.

Build a strong foundation through nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management and watch how much your function changes.

The key to longevity is proper immune function.

Most of our society doesn't have a properly functioning immune system, though, as inflammation is an immune signaling molecule and most of us are overly inflamed.

This may present as allergies/intolerances, brain fog, autoimmunity, diabetes, or anything else.

Inflammation is correlated with 𝘈𝘓𝘓 disease processes.

By getting stronger in the foundations of health - proper nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management (the frameworks chiropractic has been built around) - we will often see that inflammation subside and normal function start to return.

When normal function is present long enough we see health.

11/21/2025

Nutrition has a lot of correlation with many of our body's systems - the eyes are no exception.

Yes, some nutrients play a bigger role in each organ system. For the eyes, retinol and DHA (an omega 3 fatty acid) play bigger roles.

These nutrients don't make up the entire picture of health, though.

Inflammation and stress play massive roles in how quickly each tissue breaks down. By adding in proper movement, adequate sleep and stress management we see a more robust effect in our overall health.

If someone asked you to physically show them stress, you wouldn't be able to do it. Stress is just a mindset that takes a physical toll on our bodies.

To make it even more difficult, what stresses people often aren't the same.

Some are going to be deathly afraid of speaking on stage, others thrive on it.

Stress isn't just mental, though. The chemicals, nutrient deficiencies and other challenges we face are also stresses.

Our bodies have an imaginary bucket. The capacity of that bucket determines how much stress we can handle before symptoms spill over.

When the bucket is full, we see those symptoms become reality - for some it is full-blown disease, for others, annoying symptoms.

By performing the foundational aspects of health, we have the foundation to handle more stress before those symptoms/diseases present themselves.

Get to Know Dr. Jeffrey Cumro, DC

Have you ever been asked a question so profound that it totally changed your life?

There haven’t been a lot of these occasions through my life, but there have been a couple. Four years ago was the most recent one, and the effects on my life have been overwhelming. The effects that question will have on the community is also something that I find exciting.

Before I tell you what the question was, I want to give you a little background on myself. Fifteen years ago, I got really sick. I was always in great shape, but after not being able to sleep for about a month, losing 20 pounds in that time period and not being able to complete 1 lap around an indoor track without stopping I knew it was past time to get to a doctor. I had delayed because I was scared what I would find out.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This thyroid issue is an autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself) and I was told that I would have to deal with it for the rest of my life. Today, I help others who live in the Omaha, Lincoln, and Nebraska City areas and are fighting against thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, or Grave’s disease, as well as, diabetes and migraines.
