About Headaches and Migraines in Coon Rapids MN

The typical American lifestyle leads to an overstressed lifestyle with repetitive activities that take a toll on the body., This means postural fatigue, repeating patterns in food allergy sensitivities, living with environmental toxins that set people off from smells, perfumes, chemicals in the house, cleaning products, as well as a shear lack of physical exercise and movement. As a chiropractor, when we examine patients, we are looking for structural imbalances in the spine's posture, and look at the posture from the shoulders to even how the feet move. Any kind of postural distortion is going to place undo stress in the spine aggravating the nervous system, which makes the body more hyper-sensitive and reactive to life's challenges and stressors. As your Chiropractor in Coon Rapids MN, we can catch many other things that doctors won't see, because we look for different things. An example would be when we find a lot of patients with fallen arches that have collapsed, where the feet rotate inward, the ankles rotate and the distortion transmits up through the pelvic bones, through the spine and these distortions affect the head carriage in your posture. This places constant structural tension or imbalance in your movement patterns, which leads to stress in the spine and aggravation to one's nervous system. Many people's first thought is what drug can I take that will help my symptoms, when really the symptoms are the body's cry for help, not that it is running low on drugs. The reality that we try to teach of patients is that the body is a self-healing self-regulating organism and we are designed and meant to be adaptive and heal ourselves from within. But everything in your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system, and when your nervous system is irritated and agitated, it becomes hyper-sensitive and reacts with symptomology. If you can do something to relieve that irritation, and reduce the overall stress to the nervous system the symptoms of the body are going to be relieved.
