Chiropractic Care

There is more to proper nutrition than just food. I can highly recommend seeing a chiropractor as one step in your journey to healthy living. Let me emphasize that not all chiropractors are the same. Some do more damage than good, so do your research.

There are a myriad of reasons to see a chiropractor. I started going because of severe allergies. I took an allergy pill 365 days a year just to keep my symptoms at bay. I was just treating the symptoms, not the cause of the problem. I constantly had red, watery eyes, sinus headaches 3-4 days a week, congestion, plus I was prone to frequent sinus infections. After four months of treatment, starting out at 3 days a week, I was off ALL medications. After my first adjustment, the pressure behind my eyes was gone. Eventually, I went down to one day a week just for maintenance. I also had my son adjusted when he was three weeks old. Birth is a very rough process, and I wanted him to start out on the right foot.

The purpose of chiropractic care in short, is to relieve subluxations (joint dysfunction and nerve stress). You can read more about that here.

At the particular chiropractor I went to, they stressed 5 components of health.
1. Nervous System-controls all body functions
2. Nutrition
3. Exercise
4. Prayer
5. Rest

Proper health incorporates many aspects. I desire to treat my whole body, which includes what I eat, but also my lifestyle. If you live in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, or Cary areas, I highly encourage you to check out this particular chiropractor.

They are a Christian practice that truly cares about and prays for their patients.

I look forward to finally finding a good chiropractor down here.
