I get patients in my office everyday that have this exact question. I wanted to talk a bit more about what chiropractic is and how it works as well as how we focus on safety in our office and prevention of stroke. I also included statistics about stroke risk vs medical accident risk rates for comparison. #chiropracticissafe #chiropracticworks #chiropractorpeoria #peoriail #peoriachiropractor #freedompeoria #familyfriendly

Did you know that most back pain can be caused by musculoskeletal issues like pinched nerves, muscle or ligament sprain/strains from overuse or injury, degenerative arthritis, or bulged discs? It is important to know that taking care of your spine with regular stretching, chiropractic care, and keeping your spinal muscles strong with exercise can prevent these issues from being a factor. However, if you're a woman… you might have 2 more factors that can make your back pain worse: #1 Stress can deplete your magnesium levels leading to tight muscles and ligaments that are more likely to cause pain and reduces hormone precursors that makes pain more intense #2 Hormone changes (yes you will still have hormone changes even after menopause and even if you’ve had some parts removed!) can also contribute to joint laxity and predispose you to injury. This is especially true in the week before your menstrual cycle and even MORE likely if you’re pregnant as these hormone levels are much higher during pregnancy! What can you do about it?

Doc has been getting a lot of questions from patients regarding their lab values being off or out of normal range and wanting to know what they can do proactively to help prevent health issues. Lab values are meant to look at organ and overall body function to see if there are any issues or organs that might signal a health issue starting. However due to our current crisis style health care where we wait until a health issue is an actual "diagnosis" before we treat there are many people who have months or even years of labs that are out of normal range or on the borderline that they COULD HAVE been doing something about it to avoid the "diagnosis" in the first place. This video will break down 4 common labs and what abnormal values can mean or indicate is going on with your health. So grab your recent labs and learn away! If you want additional help, Doc also offers holistic consultations to sit down one on one and go over your lab report and suggestions on what you can be doing to help your body heal and function! #peoriail #freedompeoria #peoriachiropractor #peoriaholistichealth #peorialabwork #healthadvice #healthprevention #healthandhorsepower
