How do chiropractors help ADHD?

There is agreement that ADHD is a nervous system disorder. And while chiropractic isn't a treatment for ADHD, if your child has vertebral subluxation complexes, resolving them will often produce profound results. Click here to learn why more and more Smyrna parents are choosing natural chiropractic care rather than dangerous psychotropic drugs.

Are aches and pains good or bad?

While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Smyrna chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.

Second Thoughts About Injecting Poison...

It’s the hottest craze since hula-hoops and there’s a line at the plastic surgeon’s office a mile long to get one. What is it? Why it’s the latest wrinkle eraser of course, the injection of the botulinum toxin! One injection removes those crevices and creases, those crows’ feet and smile lines, those forehead wrinkles and frown lines. So what could possibly be wrong with this simple and relatively inexpensive way to turn back the years on your face? Plenty!

Consider the facts…

• The injection comes from the "botulinum toxin" which causes botulism, a food poisoning that causes muscle weakness
  
  
• It doesn’t work on all wrinkles, only the ones caused by tension in certain muscles in the face
  
  
• The effects don’t last more than a few months and cost hundreds of dollars a session
  
  
• Treatments could result in the inability to raise your eyebrows or squint or express facial expressions, resulting in a mask-like appearance
  
  
• Unwanted effects include headache, nausea, drooling, swelling, redness, droopy eyelids and feeling as though you have the flu

Still want to make that plastic surgeon appointment?

Perhaps you might consider some natural wrinkle-reducing alternatives, such as eating a healthy diet, including more vegetables and juicing, exercising regularly and making sure you get the proper amount of sleep. Unless of course the idea of injecting poison into your body and possibly immobilizing your face appeals to you more!
