The list goes on and on. Everyday someone is sharing a new health habit we should be implementing in our daily routine. Whether it be drinking lemon water first thing in the morning or taking supplements every day. The best part is that all of these examples of healthy habits are amazing. Yet, we are so focused on what we need to put into our body and not necessarily listening to what our body can do from within. Implementing healthy habits is so important for you to thrive in life and quite frankly we need to fuel our body with nutrients. But let me take you through a scenario; you are a mother of three children, and you have constant brain fog and you are always constipated. You decide to start taking vitamin C in the mornings to allow yourself to be more awake for the brain fog, and you begin drinking so much water to help with the constipation. 6 months have past, and you continue to experience these symptoms of brain fog and constipation, let's begin to question maybe what could be going on in your body. Let's dig deeper! Turns out, the first bone in your body (the atlas) is misaligned and is occluding the space where cerebrospinal fluid is supposed to flow through to drain all of the toxins and waste from your brain. Your sacrum is misaligned as well being posterior and inferior on the left. These are your subluxations (misalignment of the bone putting pressure on nerves, occluding blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid). How can we fix these problems? Chiropractors analyze, locate, and correct vertebral subluxations. They are doctors of the nervous system, who work with your spine to find if there are any vertebrae out of alignment that may be putting any kind of pressure on your nervous system, not allowing your body and brain to communicate with each other like they are supposed to. Let's go back to that example I gave regarding the mother. Not every symptom you may have be associated to a subluxation, but wouldn't you want a clear nervous system so you can fully thrive as you age? Now let's talk pediatrics! Your first thought may be, why would babies need chiropractic care, they have no symptoms or pain. Let's break it down together. When a baby is born, they are either born through a C-section, forceps, or a natural birth. Let's walk through the process of using forceps to deliver a baby, the forceps are pulling on a baby's head and pulling it through the birth canal. How much pressure do you think that is putting on the baby's neck? Do you think the baby's first bone in their neck may be misaligned after that? Absolutely! Imagine a chiropractor adjusted the baby upon birth, that way they were able to have clear communication throughout life and not develop any sort of developmental delays, gastrointestinal complications, brain fog, anxiety, depression, etc. If you are getting adjusted from birth, you are allowing for your body to be prepared and have the resources it needs to be healthy, to fight the infections, to think clearly, to have clarity! Let's root for happy babies, because happy babies turn into happy kids who turn into happy and healthy adults.
