Arthritis And Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors Brighton — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:22:09 +0000

‘Arthritis cases set to double to 17m by 2030′ according to BBC news/health

Further to an article on the BBC news/health website 09 May 2012 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17995938) the United Chiropractic Association believes Chiropractors can have a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals suffering from osteoarthritis.

Unfortunately, one of the common symptoms of all types of arthritis, is pain. According to new research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, seeing a chiropractor for chiropractic care and undertaking light exercise was a more effective form of pain relief than medications like aspirin and ibuprofen.

This study reported that 63% of patients seeing a rheumatologist for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, sought out some sort of complementary care and alternative medicine (CAM). Of these individuals, 31% visited a chiropractor making chiropractic therapy the most popular alternative arthritic pain relief therapy used by this group of individuals. Importantly, 73% of these patients determined that chiropractic care was helpful in controlling their chronic pain.

Although osteoarthritis is not life threatening, the ability to control pain relief through chiropractic care will not only reduce the financial burden on the NHS but more importantly improve the lifestyle of those who are suffering from this disease and may in some cases delay the necessity to take early retirement.

National Walk to School Week- United Chiropractic Association

make walking a habit!

To coincide with National Walk to School Week (21^st – 25^th May), Chiropractic Life is encouraging families to improve health and well-being and introduce walking into their daily lifestyle.

Did you know that the number of children travelling to school by car has doubled over the past 20 years and it is not only harmful to the environment but also to your pocket with the annual average costs for a school run topping £400.

Exercise is an effective and important tool for ensuring the future health of our children. Obesity is now the second largest cause of death and in a recent test carried out on children, it was seen on average that children who walked to and from school used more calories than a 2 hour PE lesson.[4] 9 out of 10 teachers believe that walking to school makes children brighter, more alert and ready for the first class of the day.

Walking is a terrific form of exercise that strengthens your body and helps to position the spine in the natural shape it was designed for – being upright. Regular walking helps to build up core strength and allows you to breathe better and as a result reduces fatigue and minimises other side-effects associated with bad posture.

Chiropractors are strongly committed to keeping future generations moving and are trained professionals who realise the difference simple, healthy lifestyle modifications such as walking to school or work can have on an individual’s health.

Here are some tips and reasons to make walking to school become a habit!

Walking with your child is a great time to spend quality time with them and talk about things you don’t always have time for. It will also give you opportunity to meet other parents and children
If your child walks without you then ensure they are familiar with the route and have road safety awareness. (The charity, Living Streets, warns that parents who try to keep their children safe by driving them to school are depriving them of the opportunity to learn road sense, putting them at greater risk when they do start travelling to school independently).
Check out if your school has a ‘walking bus’ where groups of children are chaperoned by a few adults on the journey to and from school with pick up and drop off points rather like a bus service.
Make sure your child’s backpack is not too heavy, that it is worn on both shoulders and that the weight is distributed evenly as this can cause back ache and postural problems.
Ensure your child’s footwear is comfortable and appropriate for walking.
If you do live quite far from school why not try and park further away and walk the difference – 10 to 15 minutes exercise can help your child keep in shape and keep extra pounds off.
Think of the environment and the money you could be saving as well as avoiding stress from the traffic and parking.

Last year over 1 million children in over 4000 schools ditched the school run as part of Walk to School Week, let’s make the numbers even greater this year!

Dr Chestnut shares more on why and how we can be healthy despite what we have been told about our genes.

Interesting information: We are genetically programmed to get dopamine (which fires our behaviours) from healthy relationships, self esteem and sharing with our community. We are not meant to get the same amount of dopamine from our personal accomplishments as we are from our contribution!

“Better than 90% of the brain’s output is directed towards maintaining your body in its gravitational field. Therefore, the less energy one spends on one’s posture, the more energy is available for healing, digestion and thinking.” -Roger Sperry, 1981 Nobel Prize winner for brain research
