Treat Your Body Right
and Get Rid of Inflammation Do you have pain in your joints all the time? Are you having issues with weight gain or low metabolism? Do you experience constipation, indigestion or irritable bowel syndrome? Are you always tired, fatigued or lethargic? If so, you could have an inflammatory disease. Inflammation in itself is not harmful. Your body is very smart, and sometimes it will create a layer of inflammation to protect you from further damage. It will also remove harmful debris like irritants and pathogens so the healing process can begin. For example, when you roll your ankle, your body goes into protection mode and will create a layer of inflammation to protect it from further damage, namely a fracture. So, in this case, an inflamed ankle is a good thing. Inflammation only becomes a problem when it stays in there and becomes chronic enough to be diagnosed as an inflammatory disease. The type of inflammatory disease depends on where its symptoms occur in the body. Inflammatory diseases include allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, coeliac (or celiac) disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s
Disease and even fibromyalgia. Most people do not find out that they have chronic inflammation until they’re diagnosed with an inflammatory disease. However, you don’t have to wait until you’ve been diagnosed to treat the condition. You can fight off such debilitating disease by treating your body right through some lifestyle changes, one of which is regular chiropractic care. Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help reduce the production of two inflammatory cytokines, which can reduce inflammation throughout your body. Chiropractors focus on your body’s overall health and well-being, and chiropractic treatments reduce stress and inflammation in the body. A misalignment of the spine, whether it was caused by toxins, trauma or stress, can hinder the optimal function of the nervous system. When the nervous system cannot fully function as it is designed to, health issues can arise. As gentle chiropractic adjustments to the spine remove those misalignments, symptoms of fibromyalgia, pain and fatigue improve, as does your quality of sleep.
