Problems and Conditions Making You Sick

All heath problems have three causes. The first factor in illness is poor nutrition and pollution of our water, food, and air. The US rates 50th in life expectancy but is #1 in obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases. There are 82,000 chemicals that can enter our body weekly. To defend against them, our body surrounds them in fat. Through a nutritional cleansing program, one can reduce these chemicals and also lose weight. This type of program helps balance body biochemistry and improves overall nutrition.

Second, living with stress, which everyone experiences in life. Prolonged stress leads to hormone imbalances related to the stress glands of the body known as the adrenal glands. These glands secrete hormones that control sleep, digestion, weight gain, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, allergies, arthritis, immunity, heart function, fatigue, etc. These glands can be checked and if malfunctioning, they may be able to be repaired through diet and supplements.

The third cause is trauma. Falls and accidents that occurred in the past can cause undetected and long-lasting damage, not just to muscles, but also to nerves. Nerves control all functions in the body, and if they are not working properly, neither will the body. Headaches, back, or neck pain as well as numbness usually come from undetected nerve damage.

Related Health Problems

Headaches – Most headaches are stress related. Stress irritates the nervous system, resulting in tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. The blood to the brain can be reduced, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain.

Fatigue – Fatigue usually comes about from nervous exhaustion and improper nutrition. When the nervous system is irritated, one becomes tense and has trouble getting complete sleep.

Sleep Disorders – People who do not sleep well are tense and can't be able to relax easily. The cause of built-up tension in the body is irritation to the nervous system.

Neck Shoulder or back Pain or Tension – Back pain comes about due to the build-up of tension in the spine and muscles.

Irritability/Mood Swings – A person who is irritable or moody can be this way due to tension that has built up in the muscles and spine, irritating the nervous system.

Digestion Trouble/Hormone Problems – Digestive problems are known to be related to tension and stress. A nervous stomach is caused by an irritated nervous system.

Allergies/Sinus Problems – The reason a person becomes overtly sensitive to things in the environment is that the nervous system becomes hypersensitive from stress.

With complete chiropractic examination and treatment, you can achieve relief from tension in the spine, reducing the pressure on the spine and the nervous system, allowing the body to be less tense, more relaxed, able to sleep better, absorb nutrients efficiently, and reduce headaches.
