High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension is a condtion in which your blood pressure is elevated, increasing your chances of developing heart disease, a stroke, and other serious health problems. HBP may also cause ear noises, headaches, vision problems, and fatique. Many people have HBP for years without knowing it. Therefore, it is very important to check your blood pressure regularly.

Normal blood pressure is 120/80. Blood pressure that is consistently over 140/90 is considered high. There are many factors that can contribute to high blood pressure such as stress, smoking and poor diet.

A recent University of Chicago study published in the March 2, 2007 issue of the Journal of Human Hypertension has shown that chiropractic care can reduce high blood pressure as effectively as taking prescription drugs.

Dr. Lux will gently adjust pinched nerves in the spinal column to realign the spinal bones, remove pressure and interference within the nervous sytem to help reduce high blood pressure. In addition, complementary therapies including Applied Kinesiology, nutritional recommendations, and Neuro Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) are utilized to lower blood pressure.

This blog offers self-help tips to relieve neck, back and leg pain and discusses advanced holistic chiropractic care for long-lasting pain relief.

Most people suffer from some form of neck, back and leg pain during their lifetime. Theses pains are often due to sprains, strains and stress, poor posture, ruptured discs,
scoliosis, auto accidents or sports injuries.

Chiropractic care is one of the safest and most effective holistic therapies available to relieve neck, back and leg pain and restore normal function.

A recent study published in the April 2011 issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine concluded chiropractic care to be more effective for common, work-related low back pain when compared to treatment by a physician or physical therapist. Overall, chiropractic patients incurred lower medical expenses, fewer disability recurrences, and shorter initial periods of disability.

Dr. Lux will diagnose the cause and determine the proper therapeutic program to resolve your specific pain. Under chiropractic care Dr. Lux will use his hands, various instruments, therapy machines, and a wide variety of alternative therapies to resolve your pain and remove irritation in the nervous system. Some of the holistic therapies used are Applied Kinesiology, acupuncture, trigger-point therapy, electric muscle stimulation, NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) and nutritional-therapy.

Treating pain with muscle relaxants and other medications may temporarily reduce your pain but does not address the underlying cause of the problem. Therefore, the condition can worsen requiring more powerful medication or ultimately surgery, which could have been avoided.

Chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause of your neck, back and leg pain, not just the symptoms, by realigning the spine, removing nerve pressure, and enabling your body to heal itself with long-lasting results.

3. Avoid sitting on soft chairs or couches
4. Maintain ideal weight
5. Avoid sleeping on your stomach
6. Stretch and exercise as part of your daily routine

What is holistic chiropractic?

Holistic chiropractic is the world’s largest primary healthcare profession treating adults and children without drugs and surgery. It focuses on the root cause of health problems rather than just treating the symptoms.

Can kids benefit from holistic chiropractic care?

Young children and teens can benefit from holistic chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments keep your young one’s nervous system working optimally and help the whole body function better by:

• Boosting the immune system
• Reducing stress
• Relieving pain
• Preventing many health problems

Chiropractic treats much more than back and neck pain. Gentle, drug-free, holistic chiropractic adjustments prevent and resolve a wide range of frustrating health conditions affecting your children ranging from headaches, growing pains, scoliosis, and allergies to earaches and upper respiratory infections, which are the most common health problems in infancy and childhood.

If your children are active – running, jumping, riding bikes, or participating in sports, they tend to fall, bump, sprain, and strain themselves. Spinal and other health problems in adults can often be traced to poor posture in childhood as a result of lugging heavy backpacks, playing musical instruments or computer games for hours on end. Misaligned spinal joints can adversely affect their muscles and nerves. If left uncorrected, these injuries can cause serious health problems as the child grows up. Chiropractic spinal adjustment relieves nerve pressure and improves your child’s overall health.

What happens during a chiropractic treatment?

Dr. Lux uses his hands and various instruments to gently realign skull bones, vertebrae, joints, and muscles to their normal position. This allows the nervous system to function normally, thereby reducing pain and allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Additionally, Dr. Lux will utilize Applied Kinesiology, NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique), and acupressure, as well as provide nutritional advice and recommend supplements to help speed the healing process.

Because holistic chiropractic care is gentle and safe, and does not involve injections and medications, which can potentially be harmful, children enjoy the treatments and their long-lasting benefits.

Are kids who receive chiropractic care healthier than kids who don’t?

A research study compared the health status of children raised under the healthcare models of Chiropractic vs. Allopathic (Traditional) Medicine. Citation: Journal of Chiropractic Research. The study’s findings conclude that:

1. There is a “definite correlation between chiropractic care and superior health.”

2. 69% of the chiropractic children have never had otitis media [middle ear infection], while only 20% of the medical children never had otitis media.

3. Allopathic health care is primarily disease treatment. Chiropractic healthcare is primarily preventative.

4. “This study has shown that children raised under chiropractic care are less prone to infectious processes such as otitis medial [middle ear infection] and tonsillitis, and that their immune systems are better able to cope with allergens such as pollen, weeds, grasses, etc., as compared to children raised under allopathic care.”
5. There is a significant decreased history of antibiotic use among the chiropractic children, “indicating a lower susceptibility to bacterial infections as a result of greater immune system response.”

6. Non-immunized chiropractic children who came down with those childhood diseases seemed to have minor diseases that were not incapacitating. “The hypothesis that chiropractic care maintains the immune system is supported by the observation that, even though the children did have the disease, their lifestyles were not affected and the recovery periods were short.

7. The results of this study confirm the benefits of the chiropractic model of health care on the health status of children.
