What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery.

• The body has its own innate intelligence and healing powers. Health comes from within.
• The principal regulatory system for the body is the nervous system.
• Spinal joint disorders can interfere with the body's ability to regulate and maintain health.
• The core purpose of chiropractic care is to relieve that interference through skilled manual assessment and correction, termed spinal adjustment.
• As chiropractic is a natural healing art, respecting the inherent healing powers of the body, there is no use of drugs or surgery in chiropractic practice.

Start 2012 with a RESOLUTION to Breath your way to Better Health

It just requires ten minutes each day. You don't have to be in danger to be suffering from stress, just your everyday life style can contribute – rushing to meet deadlines, the financial crisis either personal or relating to the country as a whole, family changes and commitments etc. etc. All this contributes to stress hormones accumulating in our system, these can adversely affect our health. It is estimated that stress is a key factor in many illnesses.

One of the easiest ways to deal with stress is to breath properly. Did you know that the average person probably uses less than half of their lung capacity when they breathe? In fact many people breathe shallowly and far too quickly. Quick breathing can actually add to stress!

By training yourself to breathe properly you will reap many benefits including being better able to deal with work issues and your family, being more patient, more creative and most importantly giving yourself a good chance of living a longer and more fulfilled life.

First, try out mindful breathing. Place you hand on your belly and breathe deeply feeling your belly moving in and out with each breath. Concentrate on your breathing and relax. Just a few minutes will help your stress levels.

If you have more time, sit comfortably in a way that you can breathe easily. Relax your body and rest one hand on your naval. Now take five breaths, breathing deep into your lower abdomen and notice the hand on your naval rise. Next take five breaths expanding your ribs on each breath, followed by five breaths into your upper chest. Having done this part of the exercise, breathe once into each area, one area after another – your abdomen, your ribs, your upper chest. Once you have mastered this breathing, try taking a short pause after each inhale and exhale this will allow your body to absorb more oxygen.

Ideally do this 10 minute breathing exercise twice a day, however, just doing this exercise once a day can really help you relieve stress and improve your general wellbeing.
