Physical, Chemcial, Emotional

 

 

Tax day is tomorrow!

 

For the procrastonators among us that may insight a certain degree of stress, that emotional response is tied into the blog for this week.  Our bodies are under constant changes in the physical conditions, chemical environment and emotional state, all of which impact our overall health.  When functioning appropriately the body is able to adapt to these changes and the nervous system continues to send and receive messages to keep us well.  However, when the balance is lost and the body is unable to adapt appropriately we encounter something we experience the big "S" word, SUBLUXATION.  These subluxations interfere with the transmission of signals from the brain to the body and when left uncorrected we start to experience dis-ease.

 

By removing subluxations a Chiropractor is able to return balance to the system and the body begins to heal.  This is one of the big misunderstandings of what a Chiropractor does, not that the adjustment makes us feel better, but it allows the body to heal better!  This also relates back to why many practice members choose to get their body checked for subluxation even when they are not experiencing symptoms, because once the body starts to heal and a new "normal" is established, who wants to go back to suffering through life when they can be living it!

 

If you would like to find your new normal you can schedule online or call us at 303-651-1810.

Posture

Posture, How do YOU Stack Up?

Whether sitting, standing or sleeping, our posture alludes to not only confidence but also health status!  A spine is designed to have several curves, from front to back, which act as a spring and absorb pressures through the day.  A decrease in these necessary curves will change the way forces are transferred through the body and lead a body down a path of degenerative changes (arthritis) due to poor biomechanics.

For every inch forward the head moves it adds an additional 10 pounds for the body to support, decreases lung capacity by 30%, and leads to development of an exagerated mid back "hump".  Loss of the mid back curve (thoracic kyphosis) has been shown to have a 147 % increased risk for cardiovascular disease, even if they exercised, and an increase of 144% in mortality rate. 

But there's hope, even if poor posture has plagued you for years the necessary curves can return!  If you'd like to find out more on how YOU measure up, request an appointment with Dr. Tyler!
