Unveiling the Deeper Meaning of St. Patrick's Day
Beyond the festive parades and parties, St. Patrick's Day holds a deeper meaning for many. It commemorates Ireland's patron saint and his role in bringing Christianity to the island. While the holiday is now associated with celebrations of Irish culture, its spiritual roots remain significant, offering solace and connection for those who find inspiration in St. Patrick's legacy.
Behind the Scenes: How the Nervous System Makes Everything You Do Possible
Imagine your body as an orchestra, with each organ an instrument playing its part. The nervous system acts as the conductor, coordinating everything and ensuring harmony. Every single function in your body, from basic survival to complex thought, relies on the intricate network of nerves and the brain for communication and control.
More Than Just a “Pop”
Forget "bones cracking," that satisfying "pop" during your adjustment is tiny bubbles having a dance party in your joint fluid! This is called a cavitation. The adjustment allows dissolved gasses such as nitrogen and oxygen to escape the joint, creating the sound of a pop, just like bubble wrap. It is important to remember that joint cavitation sounds are normal during an adjustment and even when there is no sound, there is movement. A cavitation is not necessary for a successful chiropractic adjustment, however, the adjustment helps improve nerve flow, increase blood flow, and enhances your range of motion.
The BEST Time to Start Chiropractic Care is at Birth. The Second Best time is NOW!
According to a recent study by Viola Frymann, an American osteopathic doctor, she studied over 1500 babies periodically over an 8 year period. She examined all babies within the first 5 days with most being checked within the first 24 hours. She found that 90% of babies had cervical and/or cranial strain at birth. Yikes!
Birth is tough work for mothers and babies. There are a lot of forces being exerted onto baby even in the most natural of births. Natural forces are one thing, but today, medical intervention is an added stressor to the birthing process whether it be induction with chemicals, medications during pregnancy and just after birth, tools for extraction, fear based care, disempowerment to mother, etc. etc. These cause trauma to baby and mother physically, emotionally, and chemically adding even more stress to the spine and nervous system. The good news is that chiropractic care can help heal those traumas immediately. By receiving chiropractic care from birth, these issues can be addressed early, promoting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function as the child grows.
Pseudo-torticollis
Have you ever woken up one morning, and had pain in the neck and trouble with moving it in one direction or all? You probably thought or said “I must have slept wrong”!
Unless your mattress is made of a bag of rocks, it's not how you slept that caused your neck pain and restriction. Usually it's a culmination of stressors that include physical stress, toxic stress, and mental stress. Over time these stressors build up until you finally meet your threshold, then one morning you wake up and your body has clearly had enough. The pseudo-torticollis in your neck is where it all presents itself.
