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

        Good mental health is achieved through a healthy mind-body connection. The Psychology professional has the tools to properly diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health challenges. The Chiropractic professional has the tools to diagnose and treat the neuromuscular contributing factors that can cause or amplify these mental health challenges.       Types of mental health conditions most seen in a chiropractic office: Stress and Anxiety: When people don’t feel well, they get nervous about their situation and become edgy and unsettled. Chiropractic care has a great track record of helping people feel better, which tends to reduce their anxious feelings and reduce the effects of stress on the human body. Depression:  This tends to affect people who have not been feeling well for many months or years. They have lost their ability to be active and enjoy life. They feel down or depressed and think that they are just getting older and will never be the same again. A thorough chiro

Did you know the weight of a dime is 2.268 grams? That’s all it takes to decrease normal nerve transmission by 70%! These nerve transmissions are communicating vital instructions like “how your immune system responds to pre-cancerous lesions” or “how many times your heart needs to beat.”    You want those messages traveling at the highest possible speeds with NO interference from a subluxation.   So how do you remove these interferences? Regular chiropractic care. Watch Dr. Gary Shoemker explain how the weight of a dime can interfere with normal nerve transmission.

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

Here at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we encourage the whole family to be under chiropractic care. Below are reasons why we believe lifelong chiropractic care is vital for everyone!   The Birthing Process Going through the birthing process is the roughest ride you'll ever take in your whole life. A vaginal delivery and C-section have many different factors that can lead to the baby's neck and spine being twisted or compressed, leading to other health issues down the road. Ideally, babies should be checked and adjusted as soon as possible after birth to avoid undue stress during birth. After that, we advise parents to have their babies and children checked and adjusted once a month, which helps keep their immune systems strong and helps fight off colds, cases of flu, and viruses.  Athletics  Kids are playing many sports these days, which can lead to impacts and traumas on their neck and spine. Having a chiropractor check and adjust their spine will help them from developing a

Chiropractic care supports and strengthens the spine and nervous system. Chiropractic care also boosts the immune system of a growing baby, creating a happy and healthy child. If traditional methods have proven to be ineffective for issues your child is having, then chiropractic care may be a viable option.    There have been numerous studies and research that support the effectiveness of chiropractic care for reducing fussiness in infants, along with relieving symptoms of colic, gastroesophageal reflux, and trouble sleeping.   Many children experience their first subluxations as a result of the birth process. Getting your child checked within the first week of life is important in helping to address and correct those subluxations before they become a more significant issue as they grow. Common Conditions Having your infant or child under chiropractic care can help manage, decrease, and/or possibly eliminate common conditions. Common conditions chiropractic adjustments have been found

One of the simplest ways to understand chiropractic care is to look at a safety pin.  The large end represents your brain, and the smaller end represents a body part (i.e., your stomach or lungs).  The thin piece of metal represents the messages going from the brain. The other thin piece of metal represents the message from your body back to the brain. We all know that the brain communicates with every part of the body. As long as that message gets through freely, that body part will work.  There's A Problem With Safety Pins Even though the safety pins can hold a lot, they occasionally open up. When that happens, there is a disconnect within your body and possible pai n. Your nervous system works a lot like that safety pin. As long as the connection is intact, the brain controls and coordinates every function in the body. Unfortunately, like that safety pin, that message can be broken or interrupted.         In our bodies, the loss of that full connection can be devastating. This l
