How Can Seeing a Chiropractor Help with Hay Fever

Posted on by

A common type of fever that at times needs very little drug treatment, and yet recurrent is hay fever. The cause of this disease relates to the way the body adjust itself and responds to various external elements. The body’s immune system fails to control these elements resulting to things like allergies and a feverish reaction. Irregular function of the nerves, poor nutritional habits, and diminished health status is some of the things said to contribute to the problem. However, while modern medicine has a solution to the disease, chiropractic treatment stands to be the most effective option, if you judge the underlying cause of the disease.

Therefore, we can conclusively say that an effective way to treat hay fever and completely do away with a recurrence of it or allergies, one has to seek a way to increase and strengthen the immune system. What better way is there then if not in settling for chiropractic therapy? This method of treatment is a naturally effective drug free treatment for many aliments. It focuses on the body’s ability to heal and fight illnesses through assertive therapeutic attention on certain areas of the body, which in turn wakes the body’s defensive mechanism that fight diseases.

The main body part that chiropractic therapy will focus on is the spine. It is the source of the nervous system and other vital function rudiments within the body such as cell regeneration. For a good immune system as well as the ability to deal with allergic reactions, the body has to function as a unit. From good blood content and flow, heart and liver function, proper neurological response and other functions will all play an important part in giving the body a robust immune system. A chiropractor will focus on the spine, doing spinal adjustments that will push the body to change on all important functions that are low. This ideally reflects through the entire body having it at an excellent performance.

Since hay fever is more or less because of poor body function, chiropractic therapy is thus the best medicine over the use of modern drugs. A sound defense to allergies, a good function of the nerves and high immunity boosts, all of which vital in dealing with hay fever, are achievable through chiropractic treatment as well as a good nutrition. The best part is the therapy will give you a better solution doing away with all possible instances of a recurrence of hay fever or allergies.

I came into Abbey Chiro for a massage, the massage therapist I had was Niv. She was excellent, and gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had.

The balance was perfect between been relaxing and deep enough to handle my aches and pains. She was very friendly and knew when to allow silence for a relaxed atmosphere. The pressure was just right, covering all areas.

I would recommend anyone to come in and get a massage from her, they would be very happy with the result.

Chiropractic care Plays a big Part in an Athletes Performance

Posted on by

Chiropractic care is a non-evasive approach to the natural healing of the body. It has helped many athletes, including soccer players across Ireland, Europe and the World. The players have reported having an enhanced body motion, and less pain.

Some of the biggest names in sport have used a chiropractor. As a matter of fact, over 70% of pro-athletes have utilized chiropractic care services and their trainers too! Oftentimes a team will have a chiropractor assigned for the whole team to reap the benefits of game improvement, and reduce the risks of obtaining a sports related injury.

A short report from in Acupuncture in Medicine [1999:17(1)]: states that:”Chiropractic has the highest usage of all the wellness disciplines by European football (soccer) clubs.” and that, “If you or your children are involved in contact sports such as soccer or football, the need for chiropractic care increases tremendously. Exposure to the physical stresses from such sports increases the opportunities for your spine to experience subluxations, the misalignments of the vertebra that interfere not only with athletic performance but with total health and body function as well.”

Studies have been done that prove the use of chiropractic care drastically improves performance in sports. One of the first studies done was highlighted in Chiropractic: The Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation [1991; 6:84-87].

More and more professional sports team utilize the services of chiropractors. This is not a method to merely treat but to prevent injuries. Players have more flexibility and mobility which reduces the chance of injuries. They are experiencing the maximum benefit with optimum body performance being a key factor in the results from the use of a chiropractor.

Many soccer related injuries is in soft tissues. The use of a chiropractor will also optimise an athlete’s performance and balance. It is an excellent injury prevention alternative, and allows a quicker healing time after sports activities have taken place. Overall function and flexibility is improved through this no-nonsense modern medicine, and many athletes have used this as an alternative to medical or pharmaceutical treatment options.

Chiropractors treat more than soft tissues though. Bones and joints are treated too. The spine is the primary point of focus though. The use of massage as well as exercise is important elements to chiropractic results. Adjustments and manipulations are utilised for maximum performance and healing. It is a non narcotic, and non-evasive way to manage pain and increase mobility, and overall fitness.

How Chiropractic care can improve your Golf game

Posted on by

Chiropractic care is great for a number of things, who would have thought it would be great for your golf game too! Chiropractic is a form of arts based on natural healing. This is a practice that focuses on the nervous system. The main points of interest are usually the spine as well as the nerves that extend from it. People who practice Chiropractic medicine are adamant about the fact that many diseases and other ailments begin when the body is unable to adapt to its surroundings. Rather than the use of chemical or evasive treatments like those used in modern medicine, chiropractic medicine locates problem areas and adjusts the musculoskeletal positioning in the body. This will cause less tension, less stress, less pain and optimum body performance.

There are different forms of chiropractic procedures. Imbalances are addressed through Activator Methods and Applied Kinesiology helps to assess the imbalance. A manual adjustment procedure is then preformed on the patient or a Cox Flexion Distraction. Either way the patient will have more range of motion, less stress on the spinal cord and a golf swing that they had better watch out for on the green.

You are probably wondering what one thing has to do with the other, just how are golf and chiropractic sciences connected? Well, golf is a sport that many people tend to underestimate. It is actually very physical, using nearly all of the body joints from the pelvis to the neck. If you have one area compromised then the fully functioning parts will have added stress to make up for the weakened areas lack of production. Range of motion and mobility do become blemished. This of course will lead to those areas of excess productivity eventually weakening as well.

It is a fact that the golfers grip, swing and a number of other important physical aspects that they must have in tip-top shape can become affected without the proper maintenance. A lot of this sport rides on the spine being in perfect alignment. Who better to perform this necessary maintenance than a chiropractor who is trained to perform these complicated musculoskeletal manipulations. The adjustments will enhance alignment, and you will be on your A-game.

PGA golfers have utilized the services of chiropractors to improve their game. Padraig Harrington as well as Tiger Woods and numerous others have admitted that they feel and play better with regular chiropractic care. They have been having chiropractic adjustments for many years. Is it possible that without the proper maintenance they would not have made it as far as they have? If it has admittedly improved their golf game, would it not serve to be just as beneficial to yours?
