Feeling Rusty?

Feeling A Little Rusty? 

Does it take a while for you to get going in the morning?
Joints a little stiff and achy, but take a few hours to loosen?
Stiff, tired joints can leave you feeling (and acting) much older than you are! 

MOTION IS LIFE

If you let anything sit in one place for too long, it's bound to freeze up like a rusted hinge. 
The joints in our body are no different! 
(when subjected to long standing fixations/ restrictions)
This is why maintenance chiropractic care is so beneficial.
Adjustments unlock 'stuck' joints before they become painful, arthritic and frozen in place - 
the longer you wait between visits, 
the more work is required to get them moving again!
Like rusted hinges, chronically fixated joints take TLC and more frequent adjustments to become free again. 

Avoid the hassle and visit your Chiropractor regularly,
not just when you can't move.

Don't just cover up joint pain, address it from the source!


Joint Vibrance




Joint Vibrance provides cartilage-building cells called chondrocytes with the proper nutrients necessary for construction of new cartilage and synthesis of hyaluronic acid. The entire formula is truly remarkable.

Before we are born, chondrocytes work rapidly to build protection into our developing skeletons. Then we are born, grow, and age. The older we become, the slower chondrocytes work.

As chondrocyte activity flags over time, they eventually fail to adequately compensate for the daily wear and tear placed on joints by an active lifestyle. As a result, nearly everyone has some degree of cartilage breakdown by the age of 32 to 35. For centuries it was thought that the gradual deterioration made joint pain and loss of mobility an inevitable fact of aging.






Hyaluronic acid (HA) is produced by keratinocytes and is a member of a large family of glycosaminoglycans, the main components of the extracellular matrix. It is abundant in tissues and fluids, with the highest concentrations in synovial fluid, vitreous humor and skin. HA helps to support joint integrity and provides supplemental support for skin health.

Can Chiropractic Treat a Pinched Nerve?
Pinched nerve is also called compressed nerve. It is the pressure put on a nerve root by the surrounding tissues such as bones, ligaments and tendons. A pinched nerve most frequently occurs in the lower spine, the wrist and neck. Other parts of the body can also have pinched nerves.
Causes and Symptoms
The causes of the compressed nerve root vary from a herniated disc to arthritic changes. A herniated disc can result after an injury such as a sport injury. Arthritis is usually age-related changes which occur mainly in the joints and the resulting bone spurs can entrap a nerve. There are also occupational injuries which result from repetitive stress placed on extremities. The compression causes the swelling of the nerve and this disrupts the normal functioning of the nerve.
Most frequently reported symptoms are:
  • Pins and needle sensations in the affected area radiating to adjoining areas
  • Numbness
  • Pain of varying intensity
  • Weakness in the muscles
There are diagnostic tests to confirm a pinched nerve and they include nerve conduction study, electromyography and magnetic resonance imaging MRI.
Chiropractic has been proven to relieve the pain cause by a pinched nerve using a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment program.
Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care
Be aware that pain relief and improvement in the inflammation of an injured limb oftentimes does not address the root of the problem which made you susceptible to the injury in the first place. Temporary relief, recurrent pain and swelling are the body’s signal that the problem still exists.
It is time to see a chiropractor for adjustments when ice and rest have not resolved the pain and discomfort. Also, if there is relief and then the pain re-occurs once regular activity or training are resumed, then you need to see a chiropractor without delay.
In order to rule out the possibility of other similar orthopedic problems, x-rays, scans and imaging (MRI) are good diagnostic tools.
The chiropractor relieves the pain in the legs by relieving the pressure that compresses the nerve root. A non-invasive therapy used by the chiropractor is the manipulation of the pelvis. Overweight individuals should try to lose the extra pounds as this brings relief from the leg pain and discomfort.
Other useful therapies are:
  • Postural retraining
  • Acupuncture and acupressure
  • Yoga
  • Aromatherapy
  • Color Therapy
  • Weight management program
  • Herbal Therapy
For severe nerve compression, there are non-surgical chiropractic solutions but some cases may require a surgical solution to release the entrapped nerve.
We Know Your Pain
Chiropractic is based on the fact that the body can heal itself naturally. When the nervous system is at its peak performance, the body can resist disease. Thus, chiropractic care focuses on improving the function of the nervous system. This has a positive impact on many health conditions like a pinched nerve.
As your chiropractor, we know how a pinched nerve can cause pain and what causes the pain. We can stop the pain and you will find relief. What we offer is a safe, drug-free treatment approach.
We offer you better health using the natural approach. And it has been proven to be effective, too.

Sinus Trouble Miracle

SEASONAL ALLERGIES


As  springtime  approaches,  leaves  begin  to  appear,  flowers  bloom  and  the new season of green grass begins to grow. It is a wonderful time of the year to  see  life  come back  and  all  the  beauty  it  has  to  offer.  That  is  of  course  if you’re  not  a seasonal allergy  sufferer.  The nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, itchy eyes and throat, skin rashes, headaches and fatigue may just hamper the enjoyment that many other derive from this time of year. 

So   what   actually   is   an   allergic   reaction?   It is basically the body’s inappropriate response to substances it believes is foreign. When an antigen or  foreign  substance enters  the  body  the  body  produces  antibodies  in  direct response to this invader. These antibodies (referred to as immunoglobulin E or IgE) are perfect fits and combine with the antigen like a glove would fit a hand.  This  combination  then  impacts  on  a certain  type  of  white  blood  cell called  mast  cells.  Mast cells are predominately found in the nose, skin, lungs, and digestive tract. This antigen-antibody reaction creates a release of a substance from the mast cells called histamine.  The  nose,  eyes  and breathing  passages  have  receptors  on  them  specific  for  histamine  and  when it arrives  the  itching,  sneezing,  swelling  etc. begin.   

Most  sufferers  will  take  over  the  counter  medications  due  to  the  severe discomfort allergies  can  create.  Unfortunately  most  medications have  side effects  such  as fatigue  or  heart  rhythm  disturbances.    Some  of  the  over  the counter  medications can  have  serious  side  effects  if  combined  with  other medications. 

There are some natural remedies that work fairly quickly with absolutely no side  effects. One  of  the  most  effective  remedies  that  I  have  seen  over  the years is a product made by Standard Process called Antronex. Discovered by  Japanese  researchers  in  the 1920’s,  Antronex  has  a  strong  anti-histaminic effect  and  is  actually  a  special  liver extract  which  the  Japanese  named Yakitron.  Yakitron  is  the  blood  filtering  fraction of  the  liver  so  the  product quickens  the  detoxification  of  the  blood  in  its  flow through  the  liver.  Antronex works best in an acidic gastrointestinal tract so you may also need some digestive enzymes to acidify yourself.  People  with  the  severest  of allergies  will  usually  start  with  three  tablets  up  to  four  times  a  day.  Within two days a significant improvement is usually noticed. 

Antronex is sold at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic

Foot Levelers Custom Orthotic Foot Scanning. We partner with Foot Levelers to provide the best custom orthotics available. Get pain relief for low back pain, orthotics for plantar fasciitis and neck pain.

Why Foot Levelers from Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic

Would you wear eyeglasses that weren’t prescribed for you? Or take an over-the-counter drug for a problem that requires a prescription drug? Of course not — you take care of your health and do what is right for your overall well-being.

Functional orthotics support the three interconnected arches of your foot, the plantar vault. The structural support for the entire body’s equilibrium is gained from your feet’s plantar vault. Make an appointment for a foot scan at (352) 259-0024.
