Ventura Chiropractic Fitness welcomes you! If you are suffering from neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, headaches, arthritis, or other muscle or spinal symptoms, or if you are just looking for a chiropractic wellness program, Good news, you are in the right place. My name is Dr. Jamie Phillips, I’ve been a chiropractor for 23 years. During that time I have helped thousands of patients that have been suffering from all kinds of conditions. The vast majority of symptoms originate from either traumatic injuries such as slip and falls and whiplash injuries from car accidents or they originate from repetitive stress injuries from faulty postural patterns, that means doing things such as sitting all day or doing repetitive heavy labor. As a matter of fact, I got into chiropractic myself due to being plagued with severe headaches from a head on car accident when I was in college. I was taking pain medication that would make it hard for me to concentrate on my school work, and it wasn’t really helping my head pain. I was thinking I might have to quit college. Then a friend suggested that I see his chiropractor, I was skepical, but I didn’t know what else to do. Well, as you can imagine, not only did my headache get better once I started chiropractic care, but I noticed my right knee pain (high school basketball injury) was gone too. I was so excited about my results, that I decided that summer to change my major and become a chiropractor. Believe me when I say, I know you…you are frustrated, fatigued, and possibly even losing hope. You may be thinking the pain will never go away and you may even be hesitant about chiropractic. That is why I have the special low cost examination offer above, so you can come in and see for yourself, without risk, if I may be able to help you get back to the life you want. I look forward to meeting you.

Well first off, yes it is a great idea to get your spine checked while you are pregnant.  As is obvious to anyone with a set of eyes, your body is going through quite a lot of changes as the pregnancy progresses.  One change that goes basically unnoticed is your bodies increase production of the hormone elastin.  This hormone is designed to relax the tendons in the pelvis.  This relaxation allows the pelvis more flexibility during the birthing process to make delivering the baby easier.

This process, although designed to help the mother during labor, can create a lot of pain and discomfort in the months leading up to the birth.  The elastin is being released in increased amounts as the months go on which allows the pelvis to become increasingly more unstable.  Add to that, the gradual increase in the size of the baby and uterus, and you have the recipe for severe low back pain.  I currently have several pregnant patients coming into my office for symptoms associated with their pregnancy, but most commonly it is for their low back pain.

One side benefit of having your spine and pelvis checked by a chiropractor regularly during your pregnancy is that

it has been shown to actually decrease labor time.  Why is that you ask?  Simply put, if the pelvis is where it needs to be.  The muscles contracting during the labor process are more efficient because they don’t have to fight past the misaligned joints.

To answer the second question from the introductory paragraph, yes it is safe.  Not only can chiropractic help the pregnant mother with her low back pain and other associated symptoms (heart burn, nausea, swelling, etc.) but it is completely safe to both the mother and child.  Certain trained chiropractors can also help mothers who have a breached baby.  They do this by using the Webster Technique.  This is a low force technique to manipulate the uterus and get the baby into the proper presentation for delivery.  A simple Google search on the Webster Technique can give you much more information.

In summation, not only is chiropractic safe for pregnant women, it is also very beneficial to pregnant women in helping with the symptoms associated with their pregnancy.  To any pregnant women out there reading this please go see your local chiropractor, or if you are close enough, look up my office in Ventura CA.  We can make you quite a bit more comfortable in the months of your pregnancy and can even make the labor process easier.

12-Point Nutrition Checklist
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jakob_Andersen]Jakob Andersen

Follow this 12-point nutrition checklist. Then you are well on your way giving yourself a healthy and nutritious lifestyle and ensure the energy that you need as a racing cyclist:

1.  Daily eat 60% of the complex carbohydrates such as: organic brown rice and organic Durum, Spelt or smacks wheat pasta

2. 30 % of your diet should consist of organic vegetables

3. Rather eat 6 smaller meals instead of the usual 3 big meals. It increases your burning capacity and gives a better balance in your stomach and in your intestinal system

4. Daily take Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids as your primary fat resource. (Remember to cut down on nearly all other fat!)

5. Too much fat is fattening no matter if it is the right fat or not

6. Drink plenty of water, it cleanses the body, so it can get hold of the important nourishment more easily from the food you eat

7. Consume energy during training and competition from a supplementary energy source diluted with water.

8. The concentration of energy should be thinner (more water) when it is hot

9. Remember to eat a little during training and during competition, so the stomach has a little to work with. A good choice here is a protein bar

10. Immediately consume fast carbohydrate and protein following training and competition

11. Supplement with a meal, vitamins and minerals as fast as possible. However, it should be within 4 hours of training and competition

12. Stretch your muscles for a minimum of 20 minutes, especially following each training session / competition, but also on days when you are not training. Each stretch of the muscle should be held for about 25-30 seconds. Repeat stretching per. muscle 2-3 times and shake the muscle between each stretch. Stretching reduces the risk of injury.

The philosophy of Improvecycling.com is to educate and motivate you through serious articles, newsletters, tips & tricks and simultaneously give you the opportunity to receive professional help if you seriously want to improve as an health and fittness or competitive cyclist.

Dr. Ari Cohn, authored the study, that appears in this month’s issue of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research.

You’ve tried over the counter medications, maybe had a few massages and you’re still not better? Have you tried a chiropractor yet? Maybe you have and the results didn’t last long enough because your normal daily activities seem to keep aggravating everything.

Sound familiar? Maybe it’s time for an alternative low back pain treatment. I like to call it posture exercise.

The idea is that if your muscles are spasming and tightening up over and over again, they must not have the strength to support your daily routine and they tighten up to give a false strength.

So you change your chair, change your mattress and go through the wide array of low back treatments out there. An alternative low back pain treatment is to strengthen the back muscles and create your own muscular back brace.

This takes a lot of the pressure and strain off of spinal joints and allows you to experience pain relief and keep it from coming back again. It may not seem like the easiest route when you’re in pain, but it may likely be the route that keeps the pain from coming back.

If you are having a low back pain issue, certainly address the pain and get feeling better. As soon as you do, this is your chance to strengthen your postural muscles and counteract all the things you do in your day that are getting you to this point in the first place.

Make a lasting change by strengthening your back and improving your posture.

“It was a more durable effect,” reported Dr. Eleanor Walker of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, who led the research team. After 12 weeks of treatment, symptoms were reduced for an additional 15 weeks for women who had undergone acupuncture, compared with just 2 weeks for those who had taken the drug.

Those taking Effexor reported side effects inlcuding nausea, headache, difficulty sleeping, dizziness, increased blood pressure, fatigue, and anxiety.

There were no bad side effects with acupuncture. In fact, the reserachers said that women reported increased energy, an overall sense of well-being, and sexual desire.

“It’s been tested directly against a drug that we use regularly, and it’s more effective. It has benefits, as opposed to any side effects,” Walker said, adding, “If you only have to give women treatment three to four times a year, as opposed to having to take a pill every day, that’s going to be more cost-effective for insurance companies and the patient.”

Walker said it is unclear exactly how acupuncture is working to reduce the menopausal symptoms, but experts say it may help the activity of the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals among other things.
