There’s More To Chiropractic Care Than Pain Relief.

10 More Wellness Benefits Of Chiropractic Adjustments

Even though the main reason that people seek chiropractic care is to relieve pain (which chiropractic does a very good job of) here are 10 other valuable wellness benefits you’ll receive from spinal manipulation that you may not have even known about – but need to!

1.     Helps to maintain a state of Homeostasis. Homeostasis is a scientific word that means having the natural ability or tendency to maintain internal stability by coordinated responses of organ systems that automatically compensate for environmental changes. For example, reptiles change their activity and eating levels based on temperature changes. Humans do similar changes involuntarily to adapt as well. A thought to remember is that we live or experience our life through our nervous system. Our nervous system helps us adapt to our environment and all functions of our body are ultimately controlled by the nervous system. Some examples of these functions are: vision, hearing, temperature, touch, thinking, breathing, cardiovascular and digestion. Spinal manipulation helps the nervous system stay balanced by stimulating the nerve roots and allowing freedom of nerve transmission to most parts of the body.

2.     Helps encourage faster healing time. Cells of the body communicate with one another in an organized fashion.  They communicate electrically and chemically.  When injury or infection occurs within tissues or organs, there tends to be a breakdown of organized communication. Maintaining healthy nerve transmission from the brain to these areas helps in a more coordinated response for the healing process to occur.

3.     Helps to improve the immune system. Research has demonstrated that regular chiropractic spinal manipulation can improve the immune system by up to 25%. So, if you are frequently sick, you may want to see a chiropractor regularly.

4.     Helps to lower blood pressure. Several medical research studies have shown that chiropractic manipulation of the C-1 vertebra or (atlas) can help with hypertensive patients.

5.     Helps to reduce the chances of getting osteoarthritis or slowing down the progression of already existing osteoarthritis. Manipulation keeps the joints healthy by improving motion and flexibility within the joints. This can be likened to a rusty hinge that doesn’t move well and squeaks. Getting motion back in the hinge improves the flexibility and the “squeak” goes away. Patients experience an improvement in biomechanics.

6.     Helps reduce stress. Ask most individuals that get adjusted regularly and they will tell you that they experience a release of tension following their spinal manipulation. The reasons for this are multiple and will not be discussed here, but let’s just say that it works.

7.     Helps to improve breathing capacity. Cervical or neck adjustments influence the diaphragm ( the primary muscle of inspiration). Specifically cervical vertebrae C-3,  C-4, C-5 and their associate nerves supply the diaphragm. Upper thoracic (back) vertebral and rib adjustments help free movement around the lung cavity reducing possible restrictions when breathing.

8.     Helps to maintain a healthy digestive system. Research has pointed to a particular abnormal neck posture that is linked to intestinal dysfunction. Lower thoracic and lumbar nerves also help control the digestive tract.

9.     Helps you exercise safely and more effectively. It can keep you on top of your game or in the game. Athletes that use chiropractic include: Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods and Jerry Rice.  Thousands of other professional and non-professional athletes have found and enjoys the benefits of chiropractic.

10.  And last, but not least Chiropractic manipulation greatly influences longevity and wellbeing. An enhanced musculoskeletal and nervous system comes with not only the potential rewards mentioned above, but also the potential for living a longer, healthier life.

I Have Become A Better Person

Before finding Dr. Charney, I was living with severe back pain caused by traveling a lot & neglecting my body for years. Almost every night after dinner I would lay on a heating pad to attempt to alleviate the pain. The pain became so excruciating that I finally gave in to my fears and made an appointment with Dr. Charney. After my very first adjustment, the pain ceased! I couldn’t believe my fears had caused me to live with this pain for so long. It is amazing that one simple visit could change my entire life!  With the help of Jason’s physical therapy routines, Kevin’s relaxation techniques, and Dr. Charney’s work, I have become a better person. I have lost weight, reduced my stress, and now live a pain-free healthy lifestyle.

Rusty Joints & Flexibility – Do You Feel Like The “Tin Man?”

Slowing down? Squeaking a little? Moving slower than you used to? Most of us chalk it up to… “well, I’m getting older, and that’s to be expected.” Age isn’t the enemy here, my friends, it’s because our society has become more sedentary. And because of this, we’re now seeing younger people (and I mean younger people) with joint-related problems.

Flexibility is directly related to the mind’s perception of safe movement.

Why This Occurs

Movement. Our joints are lined with cartilage – which is a waxy looking substance that protects the joints – and is a “shock absorber” during an kind of activity. One of the differences between cartilage than any other cellular structures of the body is that it doesn’t have its own blood supply. Instead the body secretes “synovial fluid into the joint which carries oxygen and nutrients to the cartridge – and acts as joint lubrication.

Silent Communication

As we age, the joints become a dumping ground for all sorts of waste, toxins and excess materials. This can lead to degenerative joint disease – characterized by stiff and/or painful joints. The “joint receptors” which are part of the nervous system located around the joints – send “pain and location messages” to the brain. If the brain perceives pain at the joint, it then sends a message back to the painful region, causing the localized muscles to restrict movement of that joint.

How To Remedy The Problem

While, rest is important during acute flare-ups, lack of joint and muscle exercise leads to loss of strength, reduced rang of motion and coordination. Think of it as hinge: if you move the hinge back and forth every day, you eliminate the ability for rust to develop. If you don’t move the hinge, there is a strong chance that it will develop rust and will limit the movement. Your joints are no different.

Joint mobility is the active pursuit of joint health through movement. It is movement alone that simulates the release of synovial fluid – and free of contaminates. As your body reverses the damage through movement, your perception of moving safely improves – and you will experience greater flexibility.

What To Do About “Rusty” Joints.

If you choose to do something about those rusty joints, an exercise program should be implemented with three (3) main goals:

1. To preserve and improve range of motion
2. To increase strength and enhance stability
3. To increase cardiovascular fitness for overall improved health – reducing your risk of disease.

Time should be spent of flexibility and mobility exercises. This can be achieved by static or dynamic stretching. Static stretching requires the muscle to be stretched to the point of resistance and held for a period of time. Dynamic stretching involves repetitive rebounding or rhythmic motions.

Please consult with a musculoskeletal expert before beginning any program – especially if you’re experiencing joint pain. Your exercise program should be designed safely and appropriately for your activity level.

Supplementation Is No Longer A Choice. It’s A Neccessity.

Americans in general, are the most-overfed and undernourished society in the world. Toxins and nutritional deficiencies are considered to be contributing factors in many of the leading causes of death in the United States: coronary heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and diseases of the liver and kidneys. They’re also a key factor in osteoporosis, which can lead to brittle bones, disabling fractures and death. These diseases and other chronic conditions have already reached epidemic proportions, affecting nearly 50% of population and contributing to 7 of every 10 deaths.

You can trace every disease, every sickness and every ailment to mineral deficiency.
– Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel Laureate

The good news is: these numbers can drastically be reduced with widespread adoption of simple lifestyle changes, including healthier eating, increased water intake, moderate exercise and nutritional supplementation.

The truth of the matter is: we live in a toxic environment, the land we grow our fruits and vegetables in is nutrient deficient, much of our meat contains hormones, pesticides and other harmful chemicals – not to mention the fact that our store bought foods contain chemicals, preservatives and other additives – that have very little nutrional value. It’s no wonder that nutritional supplementation has become an essential part of functional medicine’s approach to biochemical imbalances.
