Chiropractic Helps Inflammation and Pain

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another great weekend but a little colder. We’re starting to catch some rains I hope this all stays liquid for quite a while longer. My sister that lives in Minnesota, is having snow and I hope she keeps it up there. Sounds like a little cooler this week but then warmer on the weekend. It seems that around Halloween time, the weather is not very good but there been many Thanksgivings with really nice weather. Let’s hold off winter as long as possible.

                October, of course, is National Chiropractic Month and it’s important for folks to realize how important chiropractic adjusting can be to help promote health. With all the stresses and strains that we have in our daily life, our bodies get abused and a good adjustment helps to reestablish the normal nerve flow that helps our bodies to stay healthy. Combine this with good nutritional care and dietary boundaries and you have a great equation equaling good health. This week in our health shop, we will be talking about pain and inflammation and how chiropractic can help. Many people don’t realize that inflammation is put in areas to help it to heal, and pain is there to keep you from irritating the area anymore until it heals, so there is a purpose for both pain and inflammation. The idea with adjusting the areas, and use nutritional supplements to help it heal faster, is to keep the pain and inflammation down to a minimum while the body fixes itself. Just using medication to cover up the pain and stopped inflammation only makes the underlying problem worse and leads towards scar tissue or arthritis.

                In speaking of the body fixing itself, there are many great nutrients in certain foods that help the body to do just that. With chiropractic adjusting allowing the normal nerve flow to give the body direction in healing, it’s important to realize that the raw materials must be there for the body to rebuild an area that has been damaged. The article that I’m sending along looks at a nutrient, Quercetin, that helps with many different functions of the body, especially the immune system. Nature has many of these types of nutrients available, if, and this is a big if, the body’s digestive system is working to the point that it can digest and absorb the foods that have these nutrients in them. That is probably the big difference between what we do here at Natural Health, and many advertised nutritional supplements. It Is that the advertisers never talk about digestion and absorption, only how great the product is. There are barriers that must be broken through that allow the body to heal itself and that’s what we do with our Nutrition Response Testing, find these barriers. The body is meant to be well and has the ability to do that if the barriers are removed and the raw materials are there.
