There are so many different benefits to chiropractic and the benefits it can bring to the total health of your body. From Headaches to neck and back pain weight loss and total body health Chiropractic is a natural way to treat your body and help prevent injuries. As someone now in the health and wellness industry I love and recommend chiropractic to all of my health and wellness clients. Adding Chiropractic to an already healthy active lifestyle will just add to the healthy living lifestyle. A little bit about me and the few interactions i had with chiropractic before i fully became a believer and a more continual patient of the chiropractic industry. Preventative health care is not something that has been around for to long and is not really fully excepted, integrated or what is the word i am looking for... trusted to work, by people still in today's day and age. Some of the more natural treatments and preventative care such as chiropractic are looked at as Holistic which is true.
Websters Dictionary definition of Holistic: characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the physical symptoms of a disease.
In today's culture we are so fast pace we want answers and results almost immediately and with that we are not willing to do the work or keep up on the work to keep the results in any form. So no chiropractic is not always the quick fix however it may very well be the long term fix for your health issues. here are a few of my personal examples.
When I was 18 years old i was a senior in high school, I played softball, lifted weights and loved to run. I was very active and besides having bad knees due to basically a growing pain that never went away called Oshgood Schlatter disease, I was healthy with no other pains or issues. That is until i noticed i was not breathing very well sometimes i had a really hard time taking a deep breath not knowing what to do i went to the doctors office anticipating tests and maybe eve an MRI to see what was going on with my lungs. It was finally my turn to see the doctor and while I am explaining to her what i felt she asked me to fallow her into the back room. Down the hall and into a room with a flat table she had me lay down face up as she wrapped her arm around me and put her palm in the middle of my back, asked me to take a deep breath in and then out.... CRACK! This huge feeling of release and, shock and relaxation came over my entire back. She explained to me that before she was an MD she was a DC ... Doctor of Chiropractic. The bones in my back had been moved, you may say injured but they were just not in the correct spot. This was causing a nerve to be pinched, that nerve was connected to my lungs, the pinched nerve was causing my lungs to not take in a full deep breath. I felt lucky that day that there was a Chiropractor that saw me even though i was going in to only see a medical Doctor. Many times a situation like this may result in medications that are not even needed. I feel it is so important to make sure you are trying out the more natural options for different issuers that occur in the body before jumping into medications and surgery. Chiropractors typically practice and are very informed with natural supplements and ways that you may be able to re balance your body back to the feeling amazing and or back to normal.
Another major thing that is not thought about is getting into a car accident. Weather you are in a major or very minor car accident you could very well have injuries that you are not aware of, the most common injury that goes unnoticed in a car accident situation is whiplash. Whiplash is the result of you head flinging or whipping backward and then forward again very quickly. The tricky part about whiplash is you may not feel any symptoms until days later and you may not have serious symptoms for months or years. When your muscles and bones are jolted like that your adrenaline will kick in taking away intimidate pain, then your body has time to start healing itself and it will. Most likely your bones are no longer in there perfect placement for optimal movement and your muscles were stretched out forcefully like when you sprain an ankle. This will result in a stiff neck possible for a few weeks, and a headache. What is going on that you may not be aware of is your muscles are healing themselves around your neck bones (your seven cervical vertebrae) and they are not where they need to be. Without proper Whiplash treatment in Ogden (where I am currently) soon after the accident occurs you may be creating long term problems and even more issues
