ASTHMA

Several studies have explored the connection between spinal manipulative therapy (the chiropractic adjustment) and improvement in the symptoms of asthma. Both parents and children have reported lowered severity of asthmatic symptoms following a treatment using chiropractic adjustments. Additional case studies have also shown a link between chiropractic adjustments and a decrease in asthmatic symptoms.


NOTE FROM THE DOCTOR:
That misaligned ribs can cause shortness of breath? Did you also know, scoliosis in the spine can impair heart and lung functioning? Lastly, did you know misalignments in the neck can affect the vagus nerve that controls the lungs and diaphragm? Dr. Rocco says, regular consistent care can help to get kids or adults off of their asthma medications and improve their quality of life.

If you have suffered a recent car accident, trip and fall, sports collision, or repetitive work injury, you may be having some joint problems in the spine and neck we have joints that are connected together with ligaments but in the spine we have a total of nine surrounding each bone. These ligaments are designed to maintain stability for the spinal column so that the bones do not misalign and compress, pinch, or sever the spinal cord, which would impair oxygen, blood and energy control to our organs and muscles. In our spine and neck we also have discs. These discs are called intervertebral discs. The discs are primarily cartilage on the outside with a center that is a gel water substance. Our discs act as shock absorbers when we walk, run or jump to allow forces to be spread out along our spine. These discs also allow space between each bone in the spine for nerves to exit out into the body. All of these ligaments and discs can be injured once or repetitively. Bones will shift out o

BACK PAIN Back pain is one of the top 10 complaints of reasons for Americans going to the doctor. Unfortunately, majority of the individuals that go to a family doctor for back pain should know and understand this is not a specialty or their expertise. Their expertise is illness disease and infections. There can be several causes and reasons for back pain. The primary fact that you must know is that pain, if it is new or chronic it can be the cause of compression and damage of a nerve over 40%. Why is that significant? Because your nerves run between your joints, your organs and your muscles. The nerves control all of our oxygen blood and energy for our organs muscles and cells. So if you have a fall or you get hit in a sports event or unfortunately get into a car accident or even sleep funny and a nerve or multiple nerves get pinched, expect dysfunction and deficiency of functioning of your organs and/or muscles. Let’s say you have acute shooting electric pain that might be in

Do you suffer from arthritis in your wrists, shoulder, back, hips, knees, or feet? What is really occurring is that the joints have been misaligned, creating abnormal wear and tear on the joints, ligaments, and cartilage. Unfortunately, this can occur from physical, ,chemical, or emotional events that cause stress to our bodies. Once the joint is misaligned, it is unable to self-correct. It does not matter if you stretch, exercise, massage the joints, take pain pills, take vitamins, ice, take a hot bath, or try to sleep it off. The joints will stay misaligned. In time, this becomes osteoarthritis. Doctors have proven that a satisfactory treatment for arthritis is exercise, which gets the joints moving and increases oxygen and blood to the joints, which in turn decreases inflammation. Unfortunately, this does not correct the problem and does not stop the progression of arthritis. Doctors have found the best treatment for arthritis in our joints-a combination of
