Natural immunity has always been the best way to protect yourself during the cold and flu season. There are five areas where you can make your immune system stronger and prevent illness. 1.) Get Adjusted! When your Atlas and Axis vertebrae (top two in your spine) are adjusted by a chiropractor, it directly stimulates your brain stem, which runs your immune system. The stronger your immune system, the less likely you are to get sick.  2.) Drink lots of cool, clean water every day. Your immune system runs on electricity, and your body acts like a battery to store that electricity; and like any battery, the immune system must be fully hydrated to work best. Tap water has chlorine and fluoride, which need to be filtered out, spring water is just someone else’s tap water, so purified water is best. 3) Take your daily vitamins. Stress, exercise, and daily life deplete essential nutrients in your body, which must be replenished for you to be healthy. Eating good food alone is not enough. Vita

There is more to chiropractic than most people presume. In fact, while nearly everyone understands the general benefits of regular chiropractic care, there are a few things that aren’t widely known.    For example, did you know chiropractic adjustments aid in your overall health? Having your spine adjusted by a licensed chiropractor helps to relieve the pain from your back and neck, but it also helps to remove any interference that you may have in your immune system.  Our immune system is directly connected to our spine, and when it is not properly aligned or subluxated (misalignment of the spine), it may throw your entire system off track. Thus, weakening your immune system.  Chiropractors may use a variety of spinal manipulations to help relieve this compression and, in turn, open the pathway to a properly functioning immune system. Along with chiropractic care, taking pharmaceutical-grade supplements is essential. Below are supplements the doctors at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic

Chiropractic Care Can Help With Seasonal and Chronic Allergies You may be aware that chiropractic adjustments can improve a lot of conditions, but did you know it can help manage sinusitis and seasonal allergies? Chiropractic Adjustments Your sinuses are hollow spaces within the bones of the cheeks and forehead. Sinus problems occur when mucus takes over your tissues and blocks drainage. This increased pressure, in effect, causes clogged nasal passages, swelling, and other forms of pain. Spinal manipulations of the cervical spine can promote sinus drainage, which can be the leading cause of pain and discomfort. When dealing with sinusitis and seasonal allergies, the doctors at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic first suggested getting your chiropractic adjustment.  (Note: In the video, Dr. Shoe talks about Sago C, which is no longer available. We now suggest taking Buffer Lemon C Powder as a substitute.) Managing Your Sinus Pain At Home Here are a few other tips we suggest at Clairpointe

  Digestive Health D ealing with gastrointestinal issues, such as indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease, bloating, gas, general abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea, can sometimes feel defeating.

Chiropractic Care Y ou may be familiar with a chiropractor helping you with your neck and back pain, but did you know they can also help you with your gastrointestinal issues?   The thoracic region of your spine is responsible for controlling digestion.

A subluxation (misalignment) of certain parts of the thoracic spine has also been shown to prevent proper digestion. Along with possible spinal subluxations, the doctors will also check

  The human body uses trace minerals (iron, magnesium, and calcium, to name just a few) to convert food into energy used for thousands of processes essential to life. The body cannot produce trace minerals by itself. It is best to get minerals from fresh, homegrown, vine-ripened fruits and vegetables, but it is virtually impossible to get enough minerals from these sources. As a result, researchers have found that the process of chelation, whereby amino acids are attached to the minerals, makes them far more absorbable and thus available for the body to utilize. Ortho Molecular Products has created a chelation process for all their minerals sold under the "Reacted" label. These chelated minerals are easier to absorb and easier on your digestive system. The majority of unchelated minerals you consume are merely passing through your system.         Watch Liz from Ortho Molecular Products talk about the importance of chelated minerals in our video below.
