Many times a Chiropractor can easily adjust the cervical neck vertebrae to a more stress free position often causing significant and sometimes immediate relief. Typically, only 2-3 of the Chiropractic adjustments will be needed to determine if there will be improvement. Does the adjustment hurt? Just a click or mild clicking sound might be heard or felt as structures are being adjusted.

While pregnancy is normal and natural, the stresses to the female body while the baby grows inside can become quite uncomfortable.

The quick addition of weight and additional nutrient requirement that can occur as the fetus grows in the womb can make for an unstable pelvis and lower spine. The instability can be aggravated with lack of exercise.

As the pregnancy advances, there are a cascade of hormonal changes causing ligaments of the pelvis to loosen in preparation for labor and delivery. These loose pelvic ligaments along with the instability of the additional weight can lead to minor misalignments of the spine and pelvis, resulting in low back pain, leg pain, soreness, and achiness, making sleep difficult and having a general feeling of instability.

Chiropractors can often make mild adjustments to the back and pelvis that bring significant relief. Sometimes a little ‘click’ is felt during the chiropractic adjustment to the spine and pelvis that can bring quick and sometimes dramatic relief.

Chiropractors will often also recommend a series of exercises and stretching to help relieve pain and provide increased stability by strengthening the muscles. Sometimes women will have more than usual ligament laxity and the ‘Click’ of an adjustment brings welcome relief that might need to be done more frequently the closer a woman is to delivery.

There are many testimonies of women claiming that getting adjusted helps them to relax and have a faster and easier delivery. So, experience relief today with our chiropractic services in Burlington!

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inflammatory condition in which a malfunctioning immune system causes the body to attack itself. The traditional approach to this condition has been to treat using immune suppressing drugs, steroids, and anti-inflammatory drugs. But is this the only option? Does it address the complex, fundamental causes of this disease?

There is another answer for those who suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We offer a comprehensive approach to helping those afflicted with this multifaceted disease. He or she will assess the essential factors that may play a role in RA.

The Big Question About Rheumatoid Arthritis

The big questions here is, “Why aren’t my joints healing and repairing?” or “Why is my body not willing to allocate nutrients toward joint repair?” Do you think maybe your body has more important things to do with those nutrients? Maybe there is some more important internal function that needs the extra nutrients right now and the body is not going to waste those valuable nutrients on non-essential tissue. Your joints, muscles and energy level are non-essential to the body.

Your body needs to make sure your liver function, kidney function, immune system, etc are optimized and as a result it will break down your muscles, joints and bones to free up nutrients and protein to be used for more important bodily function! So, if you’re not getting the nutrients your body needs from your diet, guess what’s going to happen! But, how do you know which nutrients you’re deficient in?

What We Do

We understand that the key to overcoming Rheumatoid Arthritis lies in the testing. Proper testing will identify major and minor key elements of imbalance and deficiency, environmental toxicities, stress and physical structure, abnormal organ functions, digestive disorders, and much more. Through careful examination and analysis, and by addressing these conditions, we can help you know what lifestyle changes you need to make in order for your body to heal itself and restore your health.

What is the best treatment for sinus pain and congestion? Is it antibiotics? Most often, no. In fact, there is little evidence to support the use of penicillin, amoxicillin, and other antibiotics for the treatment of sinusitis.

Plus, antibiotics may reduce the infection the first time but it will also kill off all of your good bacteria [which you need for a healthy immune system].

There are two glands located above each kidney called the adrenals. They influence many body functions that are extremely important to our well-being. When the adrenal rhythm is abnormal it can affect a variety of areas.

Effects of Abnormal Adrenal Rhythm

• Energy production: abnormal adrenal rhythms lead to low energy levels, poor blood sugar regulation, and a hard time rising in the morning.

• Muscle and Joint function: Tissue healing may be compromised and tissue breakdown can lead to chronic pain.

• Bone health: If the morning cortisol level is too high or the evening cortisol level is elevated we become more prone to osteoporosis.

• Immune Health: The cortisol cycle if disrupted, can adversely affect the immune system and resistance to infection is reduced and allergic reactions can increase.

• Skin Regeneration: A normal cortisol rhythm is needed for optimal skin health. High cortisol levels at night prevent optimal skin regeneration.

• Thyroid Function: It is common for hypothyroid symptoms such as fatigue and low body temperature to be caused by adrenal dysfunction.

• Sleep Quality: High cortisol values at night and in the morning can decrease deep sleep resulting in a reduction of mental vitality and depression. Common symptoms may include feeling tired and fatigued during the day with the inability to sleep at night.

• Grain Intolerance and Stress: If the gut becomes inflamed within 30 minutes of eating grains it can cause increased cortisol and reduced DHEA.

What We Do We can test for adrenal dysfunction and recommend customized treatment as well as preventative measures including diet and lifestyle changes, and proper supplementation based upon your individual test results.

It is important to run T3 uptake, T4, T7 and at times other tests like Reverse T3, thyroid immunoglobins, and TSH. Other tests that may help influence the thyroid include heavy metal analysis, iodine levels, and lifestyle evaluations.
