Chiropractic Care and Car Accidents

6/30/2019

Today, we are going to talk about car accidents and why you should be including chiropractic care within your treatment plan.

Many people do not think about chiropractic care and the benefits it can give them after facing injuries in a car accident. Fact is, it does not take a lot of force to injure your spine.

Car accidents are known to more commonly occur at stop signs, stop lights, and by being rear-ended by another car. This action causes the neck to move backward, forward, and back again. There are ligaments within your neck that are stretched when such an accident happens, causing the vertebrae to become misaligned.

Understand that it only takes the weight of a dime to compress a nerve and cause pain! Whiplash can cause neck pain, upper back pain, migraines, insomnia, and lack of energy. When your nerves are irritated, there can be side effects whether you feel it instantly or not.

The damage to the car is not correlated with the damage caused within your body. Therefore, no matter the intensity of the damage, you should seek care following your accident and get checked over!

Endorphins and adrenaline are released within the body and cause you to not feel pain the day of an accident. Once these chemicals subside, the pain will begin to affect you. When it does, my team here at Lowcountry Chiropractic will welcome you!

Protect Your Body: Cancer Cells

Cancer is a disease that affects 1.7 million people a year. Known for its high death rate and difficulty treating, cancer is increasingly dangerous. What if there were ways to decrease the likelihood of developing incurable cancer?

Unknown to many, we all have cancer cells within our bodies. It is up to us to get our bodies to a state where cancer does not want to live.

How can you get your body in a state where cancer cells cannot and will not thrive?

Cancer cells love and feed off of sugars and saturated fats. Diet change can prevent the growth of cancer cells. By altering your diet, you are creating an environment where the cancer cells within your body cannot and will not flourish.

Studies have shown cancer cells do not like alkaline environments, therefore the ph level of your body is very significant. If you are eating foods high in acid, you are providing cancer cells with an environment suitable to them.

Foods that are high in acid are red meats, processed foods, and bread. You can better control your ph levels by eating more vegetables, drinking apple cider vinegar daily, and not participating in smoking.

Eating well and exercising boost your immune system, but another way to boost your immune system is to take vitamins and supplements.

So how does chiropractic come into play? Chiropractic care has been proven to boost the immune system and assist the body in fighting off infections!

In order to be healthy and maintain a wholesome life and body, keeping up with your care plan is extremely crucial. Combining chiropractic to your fit lifestyle can create a beneficial life for you and your body!
