Great Health is Your BirthrightRoswell_Family_Chiropractic

The body has an innate ability to function optimally. Quite simply, structure equals function. A car with a flat tire, for example, does not perform as well as a car having all four tires with the proper amount of air. Beyond checking your tires, the human body also functions better with proper balance and alignment. A subluxation, for example, is a condition of the vertebrae where a misalignment is present causing a decrease in function. On the other hand, healthful functioning is the natural expression of a body in perfect alignment. (See diagram.)

Get Healthier Naturally

Chiropractic_Roswell_Kids"Above all, do no harm." This phrase expresses one of the principal precepts taught to all medical students. Yet, have you ever seen the list of side effects from drugs? Consider the following: Things that make you healthier have no adverse side effects, while toxic substances come with a plethora of side effects. When thinking about enjoying better health naturally (with no adverse side effects), think about chiropractic.

 

Stress or Health?

Is your body in proper alignment or is it holding stress? Look at the negative effects of stress on the body:

Stress naturally causes the release of adrenalin. A chronically stressed body, therefore, releases an excessive amount of adrenalin. Conditions relating to a high release of adrenalin include headaches, anxiety, and depression.

Stress causes blood sugar levels to increase. Therefore, a stressed body causes an excessive increase in blood sugar levels. Sounds an awful lot like diabetes doesn't it?

Stress also causes blood pressure to rise. Hypertension is the condition commonly associated with chronic high blood pressure. A stressed body, therefore, contributes to hypertension.

After the release of adrenalin and the rise in both blood sugar levels and blood pressure, muscles naturally become tense. Fibromyalgia, neck pain, back pain, and a host of other musculoskeletal conditions arise as a natural result of sustained muscle tension.

A body not in proper alignment is stressed. Shall we continue? Yes...

A stressed body compromises the immune function. This causes a host of arthritic and auto-immune conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and AIDS.

A stressed body slows digestion. How prevalent are digestive disorders? They include Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chron's Disease, Constipation, Indigestion, etc.

A stressed body decreases sexual function. How often do we see advertisements for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)? How popular are the drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra? Impotency, Infertility, and a host of other sexual functions are adversely affected from having a stressed body.

Why does the body get stressed? When danger is present, the body has a fight or flight mechanism. This mechanism allows us to combat or run from danger. That is why there is a release of adrenalin and an increase in blood sugar and blood pressure. It is why our muscles get tense and why our immune, digestive, and sexual functions shut down. Those functions use up a lot of energy and they are not necessary for handling dangerous situations.

What happens when the body stores stress or doesn't fully recover from stress? What happens when the spine is misaligned? Can that stress cause all of the conditions discussed? Thanks to the lobbying efforts of our medical brothers and sisters, we cannot make any such claims. All we can do is continue to serve the Roswell community with chiropractic knowing that the power that made the body is the only power necessary to heal the body. Once the body is in proper alignment, proper function is restored. After that, more we cannot say, but tens of thousands of people throughout the world are extremely satisfied with the health benefits from chiropractic. Something had to make us the third largest healthcare profession (behind only medicine and dentistry). Many people are extremely satisfied with chiropractic and, most likely, you will be, too.
