It’s no secret that mind-body wellness takes a conscious effort. In fact, many people may not even know where to begin when it comes to improving the mind and body connection. By consciously improving your mind-body wellness, you will experience many benefits in different areas of your life.

Below are some excellent tips to help improve your overall health and well-being:

• Deep Breathing

The way you breathe has a huge impact on you as a whole. It affects your mind, body, and spirit. How you breathe has a huge impact on your emotions and can change or regulate how you feel.  For example, if you take short, shallow breaths, it can actually increase your anxiety and cause panic to rise. Changing to slow, deep breathing produces the opposite effect, relieving that anxiety and banishing the panicky feeling.

Mindful breathing helps relieve stress and anxiety, keeping you present in the moment. When you begin feeling stressed due to circumstances or upheavals in your life, try practicing box breathing or four-count breaths. Even a single deep breath will begin to relax your mind and body. Breathing is something you can control no matter where you are or what is happening around you.

• Get Moving

It’s no secret that exercise positively affects your life in many different areas. From reducing stress to improving overall health, exercise helps to get your mind and body on track. Exercise has a positive impact on your life. It releases endorphins that make you feel good and improve your overall mood. Exercise can relieve emotional and physical pain, at least for a time.

Pick an activity you enjoy and use it to connect your mind-body-spirit. Exercise has many benefits beyond just the physical ones. It allows your mind and body to connect in new ways. Lack of exercise also increases the risk of many health conditions like heart disease and high blood pressure.

• Sleep

The average adult needs between seven and eight hours of sleep. While some can function on much less sleep, others might need even more than those seven to eight hours. Sufficient sleep develops healthy circadian rhythms. Sleep patterns coupled with melatonin, a hormone produced during sleep, help to build healthy circadian rhythms and regulate other hormones.

When you are asleep, all of your memories get stored in your brain. This readies the brain for the next day, allowing you to focus and concentrate. All of the above impacts body functions and overall health.

Developing a healthy sleep cycle will improve mind-body wellness. Eating a balanced diet, getting sufficient sunlight, exercising, and waking up and going to bed at the same time each day will help you get the sleep you need. Lack of sleep affects your physical and mental health, which is why sleep deprivation is sometimes used as a torture technique.  

• Mindful Eating

You are what you eat. Whatever you put into your mouth will travel through your body and have an impact on your well-being. From fast food to alcohol, poor eating habits can have a poor impact on health. A diet rich in fiber, fruits, and veggies will have a positive impact on the body and mind.

If you choose to eat unhealthy foods, this will have a negative impact on the neurotransmitters in your brain. While some foods are OK in moderation, it is important to eat mindfully in order to support a healthy mind and body.

• Develop Your Passion

Exploring things you are passionate about helps you to develop a sense of self. Knowing what your passion is, allows you to pursue your purpose in life. Every person is born with an innate gift, (or two or three) that makes them feel useful and fulfilled.

Finding your calling and passion will help your mind and body to heal. Developing your true passion is not always easy, oftentimes it will be challenging and difficult. However, it’s worth cultivating your passion and it will only serve to strengthen your mind-body-spirit connection.  

• Embrace Vulnerability

Vulnerability is often perceived negatively, especially in men. However, embracing vulnerability will allow you to be true to yourself and will produce strength and authenticity in the long run. While vulnerability may be viewed as shameful or embarrassing, it can actually be a point of joy and love.

Instead of trying to shove uncomfortable emotions away, hone in on them and accept them. Use them to gain a better understanding of yourself and those around you.

• Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand. Simply taking 60 seconds out of your day to clear your mind is beneficial to your overall well-being. We often find ourselves getting caught up in the trials and tribulations of life. This is why it is so important to take a step back and take time for yourself.

Whenever you are feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe, clear your mind, and recharge. If you aren’t confident in meditating on your own, there are many apps like Insight Timer and the Calm App to help guide you through meditation.

• Turn Stress to Motivation

Stress is often perceived as a bad thing, when in fact, stress can be the best motivator. Instead of letting stress get the best of you, use it to fuel your fire. Take all the energy you have from your stress and use it to be productive.

Instead of shutting down and believing that something is impossible, make the impossible happen. Reflect on your past and current situations and use this to change your mind about stress. Make a conscious decision to do what you can when you can, and work on accepting the things you can’t control.

• Presence Over Perfection

Often we may find ourselves striving for the perfect life. In the age of social media, it is hard to see the troubles that lie behind the camera. Everyone seems to have a perfect life online, and we may feel like we fall short. We are so focused on trying to one-up the next person that we forget to be present and beat ourselves up over our shortcomings.

Instead of trying to constantly outdo yourself, and others, focus on enjoying the moment. Choose to lay off social media and really be present in your surroundings. This will positively impact your mental health. Constantly trying to compete with social media image is draining and unrealistic. Instead, choose to enjoy the moment you are in with the ones you love.

• Love Yourself

One of the hardest things you may ever choose to do is truly love yourself, but this is incredibly important to maintaining a healthy mind-body-spirit. One of the best things we can do is accept our flaws and imperfections and choose to embrace them.

Instead of constantly dwelling on the negative aspects of life, choose to focus on the positive. Saying affirmations, complimenting your mind and body and celebrating small victories are great starts to loving yourself. There is only one you, so make sure to love yourself.

Visiting a chiropractor doesn’t occur to most people who sustain minor injuries in a car accident. However, a trip to the chiropractor may be the best decision following an accident. Chiropractic care is a more holistic solution because it doesn’t involve surgery or drugs.

While surgery and drugs tend to be the go-to course of treatment for car accident injuries, chiropractic care specialized in car accident injuries offers a safe and holistic alternative.

Here are some of the reasons why you should seek chiropractic care following a car accident:

Impact is Not Always Apparent

Broken bones, bruises, and lacerations are obvious injuries after a car accident. However, the full impact of injuries from a car crash may not always be apparent, whiplash, for example, is not always obvious following a car accident.

Sometimes, whiplash may take hours, even days, to begin showing symptoms. Symptoms of whiplash include dizziness, headache, and pain in the upper back and neck. Whiplash is best treated early on, so do not wait to seek medical attention until you feel pain.

Reduce Inflammation

Ignoring the chance of an injury until you feel its impact may lead to long-term suffering and a long healing process. Making the decision to seek immediate chiropractic care is the best decision you could make to speed up recovery and avoid long-term pain.

Car accidents often leave small tears, or micro-tears, in the ligaments. These tiny tears are not visibly detected by an X-Ray, which is why victims commonly experience horrible pain even with a clear X-Ray.

Fortunately, a chiropractor who specializes in automobile accidents can help with this pain. They simply realign the spinal cord, which signals your body to release anti-inflammatory. In turn, this will help to reduce inflammation and pain throughout the body.

Non-Invasive Medical Treatment

If you wait too long after an automobile accident, you may be left with only one option – surgery. But, if you choose to seek chiropractic care early on, you can avoid invasive surgical procedures.

Surgery should always be a last resort. Fortunately, chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment that works by realigning the spine and joints. This results in healing and decreased pain with no need for invasive medical procedures.

Drug-Free

Painkillers seem to be a number one option for pain related to car accident injuries. However, painkillers are only a temporary solution, and they often come with a lot of unwanted side-effects.

If you are looking to reduce pain in a natural and holistic way, chiropractic is the right choice for you. Not only will chiropractic care help to soothe and heal your injuries, it will also reduce pain throughout the entire body. Instead of masking the pain, chiropractic care will go straight to the source of the injury in order to speed up recovery, while reducing pain and inflammation.

Restore Mobility

Inflammation from a neck or back injury due to a car accident can lead to more severe problems. Inflammation prevents blood and nutrients from reaching the places that need them most. Unfortunately, this slows the healing process and can leave you less agile than before.

Chiropractic treatment improves spinal mobility by restoring your range of motion. This assists the body’s recovery by speeding up the healing process.

Improve Your Legal Claim

In the event you were injured in a car accident and were not at fault, seeking immediate medical care will help strengthen your legal claim. Often, you only have three days to seek out medical help. A chiropractor can strengthen your legal claim by assessing the injury and pinpointing the root of the injury.

If the accident was caused by someone else, that person’s insurance company will have to pay for your medical care. Unfortunately, if you do not seek out immediate medical care, your claim may be denied.

At Silverman Care, we will supply all documentation to make sure medical bills are covered.

Reduce Long-Term Issues

Even a minor-injury from an automobile accident can become a long-term issue.

Failing to find proper medical care can lead to chronic conditions, which can leave you with physical and emotional pain. One example of an issue that can become a chronic condition is whiplash, which can lead to long-term difficulties if you don’t seek proper treatment.

A visit to the chiropractor immediately following an accident will help prevent long-term chronic conditions. A medical professional will be able to assess the injury and determine a proper course of treatment to prevent long-term issues.

[:es]La migraña es una cefalea (dolor de cabeza) que origina mayor número de visitas a la consulta del médico. El 15% de la población las sufre de forma recurrente. Por lo que, conocer los factores que favorecen su aparición ayuda a prevenirla.

Las personas que sufren migraña conocen bien estos angustiosos síntomas. Entre ellos, incapacidad para realizar las tareas diarias; necesidad de permanecer inmóvil y a oscuras; dolor palpitante, pinchazos en las sienes; fotofobia y/o fonofobia; nauseas, vómitos,etc.

La causa de la migraña puede ser una disfunción en los niveles nerviosos C1,C2,C3 (atlas, axis y tercera vértebra). Esto debido al desequilibrio de la columna cervical (caídas, lesiones, accidentes), que estimulan los nociceptores (terminales nerviosas sensibles al dolor). Asimismo, mandan información al cerebro sobre la presencia de dolor en el cuello.

La migraña se produce como consecuencia de la activación o irritación de las fibras del nervio trigémino. El nervio trigémino es el nervio que transmite la sensibilidad de la cabeza y tiene tres ramas. Las fibras que provienen de la primera rama rodean los vasos sanguíneos localizados en las meninges.

Las meninges están constituidas por  varias capas de tejido que recubren el cerebro, y son las estructuras que “duelen”. Esta inflamación o “meningitis” no infecciosa, es responsable de provocar el dolor pulsátil o notar los latidos.

Tratamiento quiropráctico contra la migraña

El tratamiento para la migraña requiere localizar los esfuerzos en identificar los factores que la desencadenan. Del mismo modo eliminar las tensiones del sistema nervioso que pueden provocarla. El cuidado quiropráctico ha demostrado su efectividad en la reducción del dolor de migraña.

Los quiroprácticos localizan el origen de la migraña en la columna vertebral, debido a una subluxación que puede irritar los nervios. Dichos nervios pueden hacer que la persona sea más propensa a desequilibrios químicos en el cerebro. Así el quiropráctico, reduce la presión de los nervios inflamados y aliviar los dolores de cabeza.

[:en]Injuries that happen at work can have a very heavy effect on the emotional, physical, and financial aspects of the victim. The most common accidents that occur in the workplace are related to back and neck injuries.

In fact, back and neck injuries occur 90% in the workplace.

Our goal is to heal the injured worker so that he or she can return to his normal life in the optimal physical state.

Accidents at the place of employment can occur with normal activities that are part of the day to day of the worker. Many jobs require that the employee make repeated movements with his body every day during the workday and these constant movements can cause severe damage to the human body.

An example of these repetitive stress injuries is the metacarpal tunnel syndrome which is one of the most common conditions originated in offices or in professions where the use of computers is constant. These types of injuries are those that we see with greater frequently in our chiropractic clinic.

Injuries of this type occur over prolonged periods of time and physical stress occurs little by little in the individual. In fact, these types of injuries in the work environment are responsible for the frequent absence of employees and it is also the highest expense in workers’ compensation.

If you have suffered a work injury, chiropractic treatment is one of the most successful options you can receive. We offer several chiropractic techniques for our patients.

[:es]La quiropráctica es ampliamente reconocida como una de las terapias no invasivas, libres de drogas y más seguras disponibles para el tratamiento del dolor de espalda, dolor de cuello, dolor en las articulaciones de brazos y piernas, dolores de cabeza y otras afecciones neuromusculoesqueléticas.

Aunque la quiropráctica tiene un excelente historial de seguridad, ningún tratamiento de salud está completamente libre de posibles efectos adversos. Los riesgos asociados con la quiropráctica, sin embargo, son muy pequeños. Muchos pacientes sienten un alivio inmediato después del tratamiento quiropráctico, pero algunos a veces pueden experimentar un leve dolor o inflamación, tal como lo hacen después de algunas formas de ejercicio.

La literatura actual muestra que las molestias menores o el dolor después de la manipulación espinal generalmente desaparecen en 24 horas.

Además de ser una forma segura de tratamiento, la manipulación espinal es increíblemente efectiva, logrando que los pacientes vuelvan a ponerse de pie más rápido que con la atención médica tradicional.

Estudios lo confirman

• • Un estudio de marzo de 2004 en el Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics descubrió que la atención quiropráctica es más efectiva que la atención médica en el tratamiento del dolor lumbar crónico en pacientes que han experimentado síntomas durante un año o menos.

• • De manera similar, un estudio publicado en la edición del 15 de julio de 2003 de la revista médica Spine descubrió que la manipulación manual proporciona un mejor alivio a corto plazo del dolor espinal crónico que una variedad de medicamentos.

• Además, un estudio de 2012 en Spine encontró que solo el 1.5 por ciento de los trabajadores con lesiones en la espalda cuyo primer punto de tratamiento era un doctor en quiropráctica requirió cirugía, en comparación con el 42.7 por ciento de los trabajadores cuyo primer contacto fue un cirujano.

Si visita a su médico de quiropráctica, sea muy específico con respecto a sus síntomas. Esto ayudará a su médico de quiropráctica a ofrecer el tratamiento más seguro y efectivo, incluso si implica derivación a otro proveedor de atención médica. Dependiendo de su condición clínica, él o ella puede renunciar a la manipulación, y en su lugar puede recomendar la movilización de la articulación, el ejercicio terapéutico, técnicas de tejidos blandos u otras terapias.
