The Top Five Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care

1/25/2018

0 Comments

 
There are a number of different reasons why patients decide to seek out chiropractic care. Whether you are getting adjusted for headaches, low back pain, or anything in between, there are a number of ways that spinal adjustments can help your overall health. Taking care of your spine means taking care of your entire nervous system. When you take care of your nervous system, your entire body can benefit. This is why there are so many great benefits of chiropractic care that the average person doesn’t even know about. Here are some of the best benefits of chiropractic care that could help improve your life.

  1. Relieve Stress
When your nervous system is out of line and your entire muscular and skeletal systems are not in the proper position, chances are your entire body will feel out of line. This can cause a great deal of mental and physical stress on your body. Once you have been balanced, your body will immediately feel less tense, and this message of relaxation will also go straight to the brain. Once you are adjusted you will find yourself much more equipped to manage stress.

   2.   Improve Posture
​Over time, regular chiropractic adjustments can help align tilting and curves in your spine and help you improve your posture. This can be particularly beneficial when it comes to the curve in your neck. Many people develop neck issues younger than ever, due to their constant position sitting in front of a computer screen or hunched over a phone. With regularly chiropractic care you can improve this posture and stand taller and stronger.

  3.   Improve Your Mood
When you get adjusted, you are balancing your body’s entire system. This includes your body’s chemistry. This means that those who are suffering from certain chemical imbalances often benefit from chiropractic care. Many people dealing with depression can see an improvement in their mood with regular chiropractic care. Many individuals with ADHD have also seen great benefits with regular adjustments.

  4.  Improve Your Immune System
When you get adjusted, your chiropractor is removing  subluxations that are preventing your nervous system from working properly. Your nervous system is in charge of sending and receiving information, including sending information to and from your immune system. Keeping your nervous system working properly keeps your immune system working properly, meaning your immune system will start working better and you will start recovering from illnesses faster.

   5.   A Greater Activity Level
The more active and mobile you are, the easier time your body is going to have fighting off any germs that find their way into your body. With less pain and a better sense of well-being, which are two direct results of chiropractic care, the more active you can be. Exercise, general activity, and taking care of yourself is easier, more enjoyable, and a routine that you can keep up with all season long.
The top five benefits of chiropractic care include a happy life

Benefits of routine chiropractic care may include any of the following:
  • Improved Nerve Communication in the Body
  • Improved Joint Motion and Coordination
  • Improved Physical Function and Performance
  • Improved Posture
  • Relief from Back and Neck Pain
  • Relief from Leg, Knee, Foot and Ankle Pain
  • Relief from Arm, Wrist, Shoulders or Elbow Pain
  • Relief from Stress and Tension Disorders
  • Relief from Joint Discomfort
  • Relief from Bursitis
  • Relief from Arthritis
  • Relief from Chronic Injuries

Man helping another person back on their feet at the end of a cliff featuring a quote by Ernest Hemmingway.
Last week I was at a concert by The Killers in St. Paul. The lead singer, Brandon Flowers, opened with this quote by Ernest Hemmingway that set the tone for a great show. I thought I would share it.
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."

The Best treatment for Sciatica and low back pain

10/24/2017

what causes low back pain, how to treat low back pain, do i have sciatica, low back pain facts

1. Piriformis Stretch

piriformis stretch, low back pain stretch, cure for sciatica
Lie on your back with arms outstretched. Bring the left knee to your chest and pull it from left to right using your right arm. Hold for 2 minutes and switch to the right knee. Stretch both sides 2x.

2. Iliopsoas Stretch

iliopsoas stretch, reduce low back pain
Kneel on your left knee with right foot out in front of you keeping 90 degrees in right knee. Bring pelvis forward to lengthen left quad while allowing your right knee to shift forward. Keep upper body straight through the whole process. Hold for 2 minutes and switch sides. Stretch each side 2x.

3. Quadratus Lumborum Stretch

yoga stretch, ql stretch, quadratus lumborum stretch
Lay on your back with legs straight and arms out to sides. Bring both knees up to chest then rotate both out to your left side. Keep arms out like an airplane to stabilize upper body. Hold for 2 minutes and switch to right side. Stretch each side 2x.

4. Core Stability Exercises

kettlebell around the world, kettlebell exercise, core stability exercise
These two core exercises are very simple and effective at building strength and stability. A kettlebell or other weighted object is needed. For the first exercise, do around the worlds starting with both feet on the ground. Pass the kettlebell around your body 30 times in one direction. Switch and do 30 times the other direction. If this is too easy, standing on one leg makes it more challenging. 
core exercise, kettlebell core exercise
The second core exercise involves a little more balance. Standing on one leg, pivot your entire body so that your torso goes forward and your opposite leg goes behind you. The object is to keep your body straight until it becomes parallel with the ground. If this is too easy, hold a kettlebell while doing the exercise. Do both sides 12 times.

5. Gluteus Medius Strenghening Exercise

glut med exercise, get a bubble butt, reduce low back pain
The last exercise strengthens a muscle which is usually very weak on most people. Lying on your side, keep a slight bend in your knees. Open the knees up while keeping the feet together. Do this exercise 20 times and switch to the other side.

These exercises work great to stretch and strengthen muscles in the core and pelvis which can wreak havoc on many people. Jobs which require long hours of sitting or standing can cause muscles to tighten over time. Imbalances between muscle groups slowly cause more and more issues where tight muscles become tighter and weak muscles continue to weaken even more. Getting after these imbalances as quickly as possible can make a huge difference in reducing symptoms and greatly improving life and sleep quality. Remember to stay consistent with these exercises and know that its a marathon, not a race with any workout routine.

Hey Altoona WI Chiroelite is back!

After 6 months in Colorado Springs, Dr. Tom and ChiroElite Chiropractic are back in the Chippewa Valley. Dr Tom stayed busy spending each weekend climbing mountains, driving on 4x4 trails and camping in the backcountry of Colorful Colorado. He has hundreds of pictures and stories to share of all the adventures he went on while out West. It was a great experience and chapter for ChiroElite and now we're moving on to the next one. We've purchased 1219 10th St W in Altoona which contains a lovely living space upstairs and a large chiropractic clinic space on the lower level. This provides much more space for seeing patients and will also allow us to start taking X-rays to view patients spines from the inside. Call today to schedule your new patient consultation at 715.832.9725!

Dr. Pellatt visits Bosnia and Croatia

We traveled to The beautiful towns of Dubrovnik, Mostar and Medjugorie

These past two months have been and continue to be quite hectic. A month ago, I had spent just under two weeks in the Baltic countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ten years ago, I had gone to the same area with my family and a large group. This time was similar. I was with my parents and a group of 18 others, but thats where the similarities truly ended. Back then I was younger and we went everywhere together as a group. This latest time, we split up often and each day I had an opportunity to experience and see the sights with a different person or small group. 
The majority of our time was spent in Medjugorie at our bed and breakfast style house. We ventured on foot all around town and up the nearby mountains. Day trips included a waterfall, Mostar and Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is said to be the oldest city in Europe and it was by far the most amazing city I've ever been to. Here are some of the pictures from my trip. Enjoy!

Impossible is Nothing - Muhammad Ali

impossible is nothing, muhammad ali quote, impossible quote
A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, "You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice--we win--or we perish! They won.

sportea drink, does sportea work, what is sportea, sportea review
SPORTea® is a tea blend made up of premium black and green teas, ginseng, ginger, electrolytes and Vitamin C.
Created in Colorado by a herbalist looking to make a delicious and healthy active lifestyle drink, SPORTea®’s following and dedicated drinkers are passionate about this special product… For good reason as it was named "Colorado's Best"
After trying out SPORTea® as a hot beverage, I’m sold. Not only is this an extremely tasty and refreshing beverage, the health benefits extend beyond hydration as the ginseng, ginger and black/green tea blends may provide a heavy dose of other benefits as well:
  • Long lasting, jitter free energy that promotes stamina and mental alertness
  • Protection against mental and physical stressors
  • Better circulation and muscle function
Lastly, it’s important to take note that SPORTea® is sodium, sugar, calorie and artificial sweetener free. No need to worry about your sugar intake!

SPORTea® Review: My experience

I started drinking it halfway through my workday and let me say, this is one refreshing beverage. It has a light, smooth and semi-sweet flavor that they describe as "bold CitrusSweet with a zip." I felt no need to add sugar or honey as the drink was pleasant tasting by itself I'd say it took about 15 minutes or so to feel any kind of energetic effect. I noticed my mood soon changed for the better and I no longer was experiencing the fatigue I had before. This stuff really does have a pretty potent effect on your energy levels!

​SPORTea® Review: Conclusion

Personally, I love this drink as a hot beverage as it warms you from the inside out without the dehydration of caffeinated black teas or coffee.
The main upsides of SPORTea® compared to other sports beverages and teas is that it keeps you going throughout the day with zero jitters or worry of calories from sugar.
To purchase SPORTea®, visit SPORTea®’s Amazon page here.
If you don’t believe me, read the reviews on Amazon – this product has an amazingly loyal following for good reason. There are people on there who have been drinking this awesome tea for over 15 years!
