The Importance Of Stimulating Your Adrenal Glands With Chiropractic!!

By Dr. Chris Kessler, DC
In honor of September being the birth month of Chiropractic, I wanted to take a moment and focus on one vertebra and that you should always have adjusted in order to stimulate your immune system.
Your ninth thoracic vertebrae (T9) are the most important vertebrae I can stimulate if a patient walks in my door with a decreased immune system or is feeling under the weather. Symptoms of a decreased immune system can include brain fog, craving sweets or salty snacks, having a decreased sex drive, depression, difficulty getting over an illness, fatigue for no reason, inability to get restful sleep, inability to think clearly, insomnia, low energy especially in the morning, muscle and bone loss, muscular weakness and poor memory. All of these symptoms listed can be the result of a decreased immune system. One way to boost the immune system neurologically is to directly stimulate the adrenal glands in the body. Adrenal glands help your body deal with stress. When adrenal glands are under chronic or excessive stress in the body they can fatigue which directly decreases the immune system. Adrenal fatigue is very common in society today and one of the most underdiagnosed and under-treated clinical conditions. By getting a chiropractic adjustment on T9 we are able to directly stimulate the adrenal glands and improve immune system function in the body.
So if you are feeling tired, low on energy, and run down it is time to visit the Doctors of Legacy Clinic to get your ninth thoracic vertebrae adjusted in order to stimulate your adrenal glands and instantly boost your immune system

Title: Acupuncture needles size? / Acupuncture in The Villages

The size of acupuncture needles usually used have a diameter of 0.2 mm, in other words, they are tiny. The needles are about the same thickness as eyebrow hair.

 

Acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate tissue and stimulation points. Most acupuncture points lie on the meridians; the points referred to as trigger points, can lie alongside the meridians. Acupuncture points are stimulated in acupuncture through various puncturing techniques to bring the body back into balance.

 

In traditional acupuncture, the needles are inserted into the skin or further into the tissue depending on the procedure and skin area. To stimulate the acupuncture point, the needles can be gently turned, lifted, lowered, or even tapped. This form of treatment is possible with almost all types of needles.

Weight Loss Supervised Program

Now is the perfect time to lose weight by participating in a doctor-supervised weight loss program.  

 

On average, our patients lose 25-35 pounds in a 10-12 week period by eating real portion-controlled foods with no exercise required.  Our program allows patients to lose unwanted fat and keep this fat off in the future.  This type of unwanted fat can be found lingering in our thighs, hips, belly, torso, and arms.  This is the fat that we like to look at and prod at while standing in front of the mirror. Our incredible program is designed to get you healthy and lose unwanted weight along the way.

 

The National Institute of Health defines obesity as having a Body Mass Index of greater than 30. Body Mass Index measures how healthy your weight is based on your current weight and height to determine how healthy your weight currently is. Current statistics show that 1 in 3 American adults are classified as obese and that 1 in 13 American adults are classified as morbidly obese which means that they need to lose 100 pounds or more. Sadly these statistics are on the rise. 

 

As we all know, obesity is linked to many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, osteoarthritis, gallbladder problems, breathing issues, and more. We also recognize there are many reasons that an individual may struggle with weight gain and weight loss. We recognize the importance of a doctor-supervised program that strives to not only ensure patients reach their weight loss goals but also promote their overall best health.

 

We are committed to helping our patients achieve their weight loss goals by providing them with exceptional products and resources to establish and nurture a successful weight loss program. We continue to ensure that patients reach their weight loss goals by offering results and education-driven programs where everyone can succeed. 

 

Now is an incredible time to join our long list of successful weight loss participants who have lost tremendous amounts of weight and inches.

Trap Strain or Neck Pain - Chiropractor in The Villages

Many athletes, fitness gurus, or people doing manual labor can easily subluxate or misalign vertebras. One thing we often see is athletes that may have injuries to a shoulder and the body will recruit other muscles to get the shoulder and rotator cuff moving. Other muscles are used to assist when lifting, throwing, pushing, pulling, rowing, and other shoulder motions. When recruitment of other muscles around the shoulder happens, it can easily subluxate the scapula and upper ribs, resulting in a strained muscle of the trap, neck, or shoulder. Most people have difficulty turning their necks and have deep or sharp pain in the trap muscle. It is extremely painful and you want relief quick. Usually, muscle relaxers are prescribed, which may temporarily provide relief and may result in a deeper muscle strain when the medication wears off. This is subluxation is often misdiagnosed by many doctors and is easily corrected by the Chiropractors at Legacy Clinic in The Villages. This is fixed fast in relief is felt after the first treatment. Many patients are amazed that they can go back to exercise or training without any limitations.

The Trapezius muscle originates at the occipital and the C7-T12 vertebrae. It inserts at the posterior border of the clavicle, acromion process, scapula. Trap pain can travel anywhere in this large muscle when a subluxation occurs from a misalignment. 

The Chiropractors at Legacy Clinic see golfers, polo players, pickleball players, dragon boaters, and other athletes that have this trapezius pain. It is even seen in people who overuse the arm from pairing or someone who took a fall. It is often misdiagnosed and treated as neck pain. The trap spasm gets worse with activity, exercise, and massage. The worsening spasm results in people seeking strong muscle relaxers or steroid injections. This scapula/rib misalignment can easily be fixed with a specific adjustment done by stretching the lower cervical and manipulating the misaligned scapula. When this is set, you immediately feel the tension, pulling, and spasm of the trap muscle release.

If you are experiencing trap pain, scapula pain, or lower neck pain, let the chiropractors at Legacy Clinic evaluate you.
