Why do I have to keep getting adjusted?

Posted on 2011-01-25 04:56:29

Headache treatment.

Posted on 2011-01-20 05:44:26

About 25% of the population has a headache right now! Many are accompanied by tight muscles in the neck, jaw, or skull. Muscle tightness is often the body's attempt to compensate for spinal imbalances. Chiropractic works on the source of these imbalances and can be effective in eliminating or reducing the occurance of many types of headaches.

Can Chiropractic help allergies?

Posted on 2011-01-10 08:50:53

Home > We May Help You With > Allergies

Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and chiropractic care can help.

Allergies are often treated with chiropractic care. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly.

Therefore, if your neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This upper cervical spinal joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. For example; many asthma and allergy sufferers experienced traumas such as head injuries, auto accidents, or falls which could have injured their upper cervical spines. The good news is that we can perform an upper cervical examination to determine if chiropractic care can reduce your allergic and asthmatic reactions. Schedule an appointment today!
