Let us ease your tension

Are you one of the 9 in 10 Americans that suffer from headaches?

If you are, you know how painful and uncomfortable they can be! Headaches can be triggered by anything- stress, eyestrain, dehydration, insomnia, even some of the foods you eat! Rather than live in agony (or of course, seek temporary relief by lying in a dark room with a cold compress on your forehead) come see us!

According to the American Chiropractic Association, research shows that spinal manipulation could be an effective option for headaches that are tension related or originate in the neck. Additionally, a chiropractor may be able to offer you some advice on ways to combat headaches, from telling you the foods you may want to avoid, to offering ways of adjusting your posture so all of that tension doesn't build in the spine. If you have a job where you sit at a desk all day, they can give helpful tips to keep the blood flowing, (which helps you feel more alert) as well as stretching techniques so you aren't stuck in a single position all day long.

I can't stress enough the importance of getting up at least once an hour to stretch. Even if you just go get a drink of water, make a trip to the bathroom, or simply stand and stretch your body- you would be amazed at how much better your body will feel long term. Another big trigger most people don't realize is how important it is to stay hydrated! Not only will it help with a multitude of other minor aches and pains (staying alert, having more energy, and not getting the "dehydration hunger pangs") but the more water you drink, the better it is for your entire system.

Don't spend one more day with a jarring headache that could ruin your whole day! Come see us at fullbodyrejuvenation.com, make an appointment, and get back to feeling your best as soon as possible!

Facts about Your Back

Most people don't realize this, but back pain is the most common reason people seek chiropractic treatment. Regardless of what sort of back pain you have, certain things are always true- it's annoying, uncomfortable and can be quite an inconvenience! But fear not, Full Body Rejuvenation is here to help! Call us to help remedy whatever back trouble you may be having, and in the meantime, check out these stats on back pain from the American Chiropractic Association:

1) Americans spend as much as $50 billion a year on back pain, and that's just for the easily identified problems (back pain is NOT a joke!)

2) Approximately 25% of US adults reported having low back pain lasting at least one day in the last three months, and 7.6% reported at least one episode of severe acute loe back pain within a one year period. (This is why you need to call us, so you can put back pain to bed and get your life back!)

3) Most causes of back pain are mechanical- meaning cancer, inflammatory arthritis and infection are not typical causes. (Which means it's not anything you need to be afraid of!)

4) Back pain is the most common cause of work restrictions in people younger than 45. (Which is entirely too early in life to have to feel restricted about any part of your body!)

Scoliosis and Chiropractics

Scoliosis is a medical condition that causes unnatural curving of the spine. Typically, it falls under one of three categories: Idiopathic, which has no known cause and is the most common diagnosis, congenital (which is present from birth) or neuromuscular. When it’s neuromuscular, it’s a secondary symptom of physical trauma, cerebral palsy, or one of several other conditions. Scoliosis can develop at any point in a persons life. If you think you may have it, some signs to be cautious of include the following:

1) Uneven musculature on one side of the spine

2) Uneven hips, uneven arm/leg lengths 

3) An unusually prominent rib or shoulder blade

 

Not to fear! As unpleasant as scoliosis may be, it happens to be one of our many specialties here at Full Body Rejuvenation. If you've never had chiropractic treatment but think you may need it, come in for a consultation. All it can do is help! At Full Body Rejuvenation, our goal is your comfort and wellness. After just one treatment, you'll leave feeling so much better! But don't take our word for it. Come in and see for yourself!

BACKPACKS AND YOUR KIDS

Getting Back to School Can Be “Back Breaking” Work: Don’t let a Heavy Backpack Ruin Your Child’s Day. 

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

The American Chiropractic Association, its Council on Occupational Health and your local doctor of chiropractic offer the following tips to help prevent the needless pain an overstuffed backpack could cause the student in your household.  And now that backpacks have begun to replace briefcases in the work place, you too, might want to follow this advice:

Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than 5 to 10 percent of his or her body weight; the backpack will cause your child to begin bending forward in an attempt to support the weight on his or her back rather than on the shoulders, by the straps.

A backpack with individualized compartments will help you position the contents most effectively and ensure that your child’s sandwich isn't flattened by a heavy textbook.

When packing the backpack, make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on the child’s back.  An uneven surface rubbing against your child’s back could cause painful blisters.

Tell your child to use both shoulder straps, not just one. 

A backpack slung over one shoulder disproportionately shifts all of the weight to one side, and can cause not only neck and muscle spasms, but also low back pain.

Padded shoulder straps are very important.  Not only will they be more comfortable than non-padded straps, but they will also help prevent the straps from digging into your child’s shoulders.

The shoulder straps should be adjustable, so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body.  Shoulder straps that are too loose can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably, and cause misalignment and pain.

If the backpack is still too heavy, talk with your child's teacher.  It might be possible to leave the heaviest books at school, and bring home only lighter handout materials or work books.

Talk to your child about the proper use of backpacks and help him or her understand why this and other ergonomic issues are important. 

A child who is educated early in life on these issues can apply this knowledge late in life (at home or in the office) and as a result, your child will be happier and healthier.

Expecting? In Pain? Come see us!

Here at Full Body Rejuvenation, your wellness as well as comfort are two things we consistently strive for. While pregnant, some concerns might arise to the safety of chiropractic care while expecting. If you have questions or doubts, fear not, we're here to help!

Not only does chiropractic care during pregnancy relieve those awful aches throughout the body, but regular chiropractic care can also cause you to have an easier pregnancy throughout the whole experience. This happens by stimulating the nervous system, which enhances correct functioning of the reproductive organs. This will not only support the baby's needs during pregnancy, but also potentially cause a smoother delivery.

If this sounds like something of interest to you, be sure to do your homework! Find a doctor who is trained through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. If your still hesitant but experiencing a less than pleasant pregnancy try pre-natal yoga! Additionally, any pressure that you put on your hips must be balanced- avoid doing activities that cause you to do any repetitive motions to one specific hip.

 Still unsure? Give us a call at 770-733-1381. Not only can we set your mind at ease, but if you schedule an appointment and give it a try, a smoother pregnancy lies in your future :D

Chiropractics: What You Never Knew

Daniel David Palmer, who discovered chiropractics in 1895, was known as a magnetic healer, as well as holding an intense interest in metaphysics and phrenology (which is a practice that diagnoses diseases based on the bumps of the skull). He was rumored to have cured a janitors deafness simply by manipulation of the neck. Palmer had a theory that all disease is caused by subluxated bones, (which are usually bones found in the spine.) There is no history of  Palmer subjecting his ideas to any form of research, but instead directly began treating patients and teaching said principles to the first generation of chiropractors.

Having said all this, chiropractics today is often met with the same disdain and disbelief that it was back then, with one important exception: the fact that it works! Not only is it safer than taking loads of prescription medication or multiple rounds of physical therapy, chiropractic care can be a long term solution that benefits your overall wellness.  In other words, once you start going, you won't want to stop! Not only will you experience relief from whatever ailments seem to be plaguing you, but you can be assured that you will also notice better overall health and happiness. If you want something other than a pill that will most likely do more harm than good, chiropractics is absolutely the way to go!
