Surface Healing vs. Core Healing

The most common thing that patients come into the office with are symptoms of pain. Their pain may be in the neck or back, down the legs or arms or even in the hands and feet. The great thing is that chiropractic is able to help to relieve these symptoms almost every time. The sad thing is that people believe that this is the most important and only thing that chiropractic can do for them. This is sad because this is the thing that chiropractic can do the least for them. Keep in mind that the goal of the adjustment is to allow the nervous system to function properly again. This enables the body's inborn ability to heal itself to be expressed or enhanced. This is where chiropractic can do the most for people. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this concept and feel as if once their symptoms subside that they are done with chiropractic. Nothing could be further from the truth. This short time spent using chiropractic and then stopping it would be the same as doing 20 push-ups today, then stopping, and thinking that you will be healthy the rest of your life because of those 20 push-ups. Chiropractic, just like eating properly, exercising, managing your stress, sleeping well and having your teeth checked is a lifestyle choice that is a part of your daily, weekly, monthly and yearly regiment.

Chiropractic is a natural form of healthcare that attempts to support the body’s inborn ability to heal itself. Chiropractors do this by limiting stress to the body. The stress that chiropractors predominately focus on comes in the form of a condition known as vertebral subluxation complex (VSC). Chiropractors also provide education and empowerment through the proper techniques and benefits of exercise, diet and stress management.




A vertebral subluxation complex has three main components. The first component is a joint that has become misaligned. The second component is that the misaligned joint does not move as well as it normally should. The third component that occurs due to this lack of motion is the reduction of the nervous system function. This process may occur with the creation of symptoms or it may be completely asymptomatic. That is why it is important to be checked for subluxations on a regular basis in a similar fashion as having your teeth checked by a dentist. By incorporating chiropractic care into your lifestyle along with eating healthy foods, getting adequate exercise and managing your stress from home, work and school you give yourself the best opportunity to live a healthy life.

Sitting and Your Spine

Did you know that sitting to your spine is like sugar for your teeth? If you do enough of it, you end up with decay and degeneration. The sitting posture has been scientifically shown to place more pressure on the low back than almost any other position. In fact, they did an experiment in which they placed probes into the discs of the lower back and had a person take on different postures while measuring the pressure at each position. What they found was that the sitting posture places over two times the amount of pressure at the low back in comparison to laying on your back or standing. What this means to us, is that jobs or school that have people sitting for 8 hours of the day is actually encouraging degeneration and dysfunction in the spine. The only way to improve this situation is to take mini-breaks every hour and to receive chiropractic care in order to maintain the function and alignment of your spine in order to fight the degenerative process.

Signs of Stress #6

Signs of Stress

Stress can be a big issue with causing many health problems in the world.  Chiropractic is using many resources such as advancing our technology, updating our methods, and using good caring philosophy to increase the well being and health of our patients.

General Pain

When pain occurs it is showing you that somewhere in your body a problem has surfaced.  People shrug pain off everyday thinking it will work its way out, but that may not be the case.  You might need to seek professional help to correct and maintain the problem. There are two types of pain: 1.  Acute Pain- This pain is new to the body and can be caused by a sprain, cut, broken bone etc. The pain can be mild to severe and will usually dissipate with healing. 2.  Chronic Pain- This pain is different and might be accompanied by insomnia, exhaustion, even weight change and can last up to six months or more.  Many look to painkillers to alienate the symptoms, this seems like the right thing to do, after all no one wants to live in the discomfort of pain.  Quite often painkillers will mask the cause of the problem by reducing the amount of pain.  Doesn’t it make more sense to find the true cause of the pain and treat it directly? Chiropractic can be your answer to a better lifestyle.  For More Info Visit ChiroSC.com  Dr. Tyler Johnson, D.C., CCSP Chiropractic Center 1502 N.

Mood Swings

Most people that have mood swings do not even realize how unpredictable their moods can fluctuate.  They can become irritable and unreasonable over the smallest of things and sometimes are quite difficult just to be around. Medical doctors mostly treat these symptoms with medications compiled of chemical solutions that may have negative side effects worst than the symptoms themselves. These moods swings may be the result of a person’s body missing a natural and needed ingredient. Chiropractors take a natural approach to treating these symptoms through diet, supplements and exercise. Many Chiropractic patients have found relief and can live normal, healthy lives again.

Sleep Disturbances

You wake every morning feeling like you were up all night, well maybe you were.  Even though you were sleeping all through the night you may be experiencing sleep disturbances.  There are over 70 different types of sleep disorders and are all categorized in three areas lack of sleep, disturbed sleep, and excessive sleep.  Sleep disturbances occur throughout the night without you even knowing it, this can be caused by many different problems.  Keeping your body in shape, dieting correctly, removing caffeine, and developing a good lifestyle can correct these problems.  Everyone is different, and your Chiropractor can help. There are stages in your sleep that your body must go through to achieve a good night sleep, in fact there are 5. This cycles over and over throughout the night. Stage 1 – Light sleep and relaxation of the muscles. ( can wake up) Stage 2 – Activity in the brain slows and eye movement stops. Stage 3 – Brains waves become slow (delta waves) and small quick waves occur. Stage 4 – Brains waves are all delta wave. Stage 5 – (REM) Rapid Eye Movement – dreams occur. This usually takes about an hour and a half to complete 1 cycle. Sleep is needed for your body to function properly, so take care of yourself and do what it takes to achieve a good night sleep.

Sinus and Allergies

Your body has its own built in immune system to protect you from outside elements, such as dust, pollen, pollution, etc. If your immune system is not working properly you may suffer from, watery eyes, a running nose, sneezing, or many other threats of sicknesses. Histamines cause most sinus and allergy problems, and for example most people treat these problems with anti-histamines. These medications will dry the membranes and suppress the symptoms but is not a cure. Stress can often be a factor why your immune system is not working properly and, when ignored, your body cannot correct itself. The nervous system and immune system, when working properly, can work as a natural healing aid and help to correct your sinus and allergy symptoms.
