How Spinal Misalignment Has a Negative Impact On Our Health

Could spinal misalignment have a negative impact on our health? The short answer is yes, but to understand this a little deeper, we must learn a little more about our spinal anatomy. Our spine consists of 33 vertebrae which are divided into 4 major sections called the Cervical spine, Thoracic spine, Lumbar spine, and Sacrum. Between each vertebrae, we can find 23 discs which act like a ligament which hold our vertebrae together, acts as a shock absorber, and serves as a joint to give our spine its flexibility. While the spine serves to give us an upright structure and protect the spinal cord, unexpected problems can occur in the event of a misalignment.

What is a spinal misalignment?
Spinal misalignment, also known as spinal subluxation, occurs when the vertebrae deviate from their normal position. This misalignment can result in one or more vertebrae pinching a nerve which extends from spinal chord. While a common symptom of this problem is localized pain, the subtle impact on the rest of our health can be even more drastic. Many of these nerves, when pinched, could impair the function of many of our organs, muscles, or even disrupt our immune system. If you view the chart above, you can see the extent of the problems that may occur from a misalignment. Since general health doctors are typically not trained to consider these problems, they are often overlooked in a diagnosis for an array of common health problems. Since these misalignments can greatly impair the immune system, it could serve as an explanation to why some patients may not respond as well to certain cancer treatments.  

What causes a spinal misalignment?
The causes of a misalignment can be attributed to a vast assortment of factors which arise in our daily routines. Leading a sedentary lifestyle promotes bad posture and weakens the muscles in our back which help support the vertebrae and keeps them in their natural alignment. Bending the back while lifting an object off of the ground, intense exercise, falls, automobile accidents, and other injuries can result in spinal misalignment. Being overweight also puts a lot of excess stress on the spinal column and can makes you more susceptible to spinal injury such as disc herniation and misalignment. As we age, our discs will begin to degenerate, making the connective fibers weaker and more susceptible to injuries such as herniation.


How do I correct my spinal alignment?
Correction of a spinal misalignment can be done through a series of professional chiropractic adjustments or a well structured yoga course. Depending on the severity of the condition and what approach a patient takes to correcting the problem, they can typically begin feeling a response in as little as one treatment from a chiropractor or one week of yoga sessions. Other individuals with more serious conditions such as a disc herniation, may require several months of adjustments or even surgery intervention to correct the problem. Some individuals have even had success correcting their spine at home through a series of stretches known as the 5 Tibetan rites. Doing these stretches can also aide in keeping the muscles strong around the spine and help prevent another misalignment in the future. 

Tips For Prevention
Drinking plenty of water every day will keep help keep our discs hydrated and slow down the degeneration process.  Managing your weight and keeping your back flexible and strong through routine exercise reduces the risk of misalignment and keeps our discs healthy. Always practice a good, upright posture when setting at the computer or standing.

PawPaws: Nature's Cancer Cure

Picture Copyright © Shaun Clark: Pixels.com

Pawpaws(asimina triloba) are a tropical-like fruit native to the eastern United States. While its flavor is often described as a cross between a mango and a banana, few people have had the luxury of indulging in this tasty fruit which comes with an abundance of hidden health benefits. Asimina triloba can be found flourishing in wooded areas and bears fruit which ripens to maturity near the start of Autumn. What makes pawpaws, as well as their distant cousin graviola, so amazing is their abundance of the chemical acetogenin, which has been shown in multiple studies to have strong anti-cancer properties. Some sources claim that this chemical can be up to 20000 times more effective at treating cancer than traditional chemotherapy. Though graviola has been widely promoted for its anti-cancer properties, recent studies conducted under the direction of Dr. Jerry McLaughlin concluded that pawpaws are 24-50 times more effective at treating cancer than its tropical cousin. To learn more about this study, feel free to visit and read the article at http://www.pawpawresearch.com/graviola-inferior.html.

Aside from having powerful anti-cancer properties, pawpaws are also a rich source of Vitamin C, which is essential to maintaining a healthy immune system. Don't pass up this once a year opportunity to visit the forest and pick pawpaws today.

Drinking Adequate Water

Since childhood, we have told on multiple occasions, whether taught in school or instructed by our doctor, to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Drinking an adequate amount of water is absolutely crucial to maintaining our body's health and preventing an array of health problems and diseases. Chronic dehydration is a condition which according to a 2013 report done by CBS, affects as many as 75% of Americans. This is due primarily in part to individuals substituting water with other, less hydrating beverages such as soda, coffee, or alcohol. The high caffeine, sodium, and sugar content in these beverages inhibit the absorption of water and are not as effective at hydrating your body as pure water. Being adequately hydrated is crucial for cancer patients in order to keep their immune system function properly and promoting the absorption of many essential vitamins. While there is a lot of debate to how much water we truly need, I usually suggest that a patient drink at least one glass when they wake up to rehydrate after their night of rest, at least a glass of water with every meal, and one to two glasses before they go to bed. Every time that you feel thirsty, reach for a glass or bottle of refreshing water. If you find the flavor of water to be bland or unpleasing, try to add fresh lemon or lime juice to it in order to enhance the flavor and get additional vitamin C. You can also substitute water with a cup of green tea which also has many additional antioxidants and has been shown to in several studies to prevent and help in the fight against cancer.

Huckleberries

Huckleberries are officially ripe for the picking. Huckleberries are a small, round, blueberry-like fruit which grows widely across the eastern United States. Though huckleberries have a shape, color, and taste resembling a blueberry, you may be surprised to find that huckleberries are not in the same genus as its more popular counterpart. Huckleberries thrive in acidic soil and are often found thriving in in areas of deforestation. Despite their small size these berries are packed full of nutrients and antioxidants. They are an excellent source of vitamin B2(riboflavin) and B6 as well as immune system boosting vitamin C. They are also a good source of eyesight improving Vitamin A. Being time consuming to pick, this can provide an individual with a extended sun exposure which greatly increases the body's vitamin D levels which supercharges the immune system. Don't miss out on this once a year delicacy and its abundance of health benefits. It is advised that you use caution while picking huckleberries, as with any others, since snakes often lurk beneath them awaiting for an unsuspecting bird to feed.

Wineberries

 It is July and that means that the wineberries are ripe for the picking. Wineberries are lush with dietary fiber and are an excellent source of vitamin C. They are also renowned for their antioxidant properties which help eliminate toxins from our body which may be impeding the cancer recovery process. Like raspberries, wineberries are believed to contain a phytochemical called ellagic acid which research has discovered that it has anti-cancer properties which slow the growth of cancer tumors. This makes them an excellent choice for cancer patients. Often considered an invasive pest, wineberries grow abundantly throughout the eastern United States and can be picked easily and legally in most national forest areas. From the exercise and sunlight you get while picking them, to the recipes that you prepare them in, wineberries are beneficial to the health in nearly every aspect.
