Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Denver and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Denver parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
Posture
Good posture not only affects your health, but how well your clothes fit.
What People Notice
Slumped shoulders, downcast eyes or a sagging midsection send subtle clues to others around you. Your posture is the first thing people notice about you.
Your posture often reveals underlying spinal problems such as vertebral subluxation. It harms a child’s development, impairs an adult’s mental health and compromises your health.
Thorough Examination
During our examination, we notice postural distortions such as:
- Head tilt to one side
- Forward head carriage
- Lowered shoulder
- High or rotated hip
- Unnatural stride
- Contracted leg length
- Unusual shoe wear
- Weight imbalance
Poor posture is one of the ways your body deals with stress. Notice the posture of someone who is depressed, frightened or angry! If the eyes are a window to the soul, then your posture is a window to your health!
