Deflame - Natural Help for Inflammation

Research has demonstrated that most people suffer with inflammation to varying degrees, which can cause simple aches and pains, and lead to the development of serious life-threatening diseases

"New study: Whiplash Injuries Weaken the Cervical Spine

It's difficult to describe the violence of a rear end collision, even one considered to be minor. Using live occupants in rear end crash tests, researchers have found head accelerations can easily reach 9 Gs of force, or nine times the force of gravity. What this means is that the human head-which weighs about 10 pounds, on average-suddenly weighs 90 pounds.

In its most simple form, whiplash is this: the occupant's torso is accelerated in one direction, while the head is going in the opposite direction. In between the head and the torso is the neck, and it's not surprising that most of the injury takes place in the ligaments that hold the vertebrae together.

This study is the latest addition to InjuryTV. You can read the rest of the article, courtesy of one of our clients, here:

Dr. Todd Asks some important questions of interest to Fort Myers residents - Chiropractor Fort Myers Dr. Todd Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Fort Myers residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
