The key to weight loss success is eliminating toxins.  When you see how quickly people are able to lose weight, you’ll want to tell all your friends.

Migraine headaches afflict many people in El Cajon. They can affect people from the very young to the very old.  They can affect YOU, a co-worker or even a spouse or a close friend.

Migraine symptoms include ‘severe pain’ on one side of your head that can last for days and can include nausea and sensitivity to light.

While many medical treatments address the symptoms, we at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon address the cause of your headache pain.  We view migraines as something that is caused by pressure on sensitive nerve endings in your head, resulting from a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Since your brain controls the entire body’s function by communication through your nervous system, any interference to this communication affects your body. If any spinal bones, which protect the nerves, get misaligned, there is a NEGATIVE effect on your body’s systems.

Muscles attached to your spinal bones overreact and become ‘spastic and irritated’ because your nerves are pulled on a compressed, then stretched and then they can become traumatized.

Headache pain can easily result from these imbalances.

By making sure your vertebrae are moving correctly ( with spinal adjustments here in El Cajon), and not locked into place by your muscles, the muscles that support your head are then relieved of stress and spasms.

Your pain will then become diminished as the structure of your spinal bones of the neck is improved.

Don’t wait. Your health is a serious matter. If you take medication to cover it up, you’ll always have headaches.

Don’t put your body through this trauma. Call Barbara at this chiropractic office in El Cajon today. The longer you wait, the harder it is to give you relief.

Richter Chiropractic is excited to welcome a new massage therapist to our office in El Cajon!  Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension which experts believe accounts for 80%-90% of disease.

Massage has been proven beneficial in treating a variety of ailments including;

• cancer-related fatigue                                      *sleep disorders
• high blood pressure                                          *diabetes
• neck and back pain                                           *immunity suppression

• smoking cessation                                             *depression

Massage has many physiological effects and works well with chiropractic care:

• increased circulation to all areas of the body which means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently
• Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues
• Reduction in recovery time from certain injuries
• Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body occurs resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function
• Breaking of the pain-tension cycle which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
• Massage increases your flexibility and joint mobility
• Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.

Why should I continue treatment at my favorite chiropractor in El Cajon if I am no longer in pain?  Many patients don’t understand why they should continue treatment after adjustments have gotten them out of pain.  The difference is the difference between pain relief and actual healing.  There are three distinct and vital steps to treatment.

1. Adjustments to get you out of pain.

Realignment of your spine will cause the bones to quit damaging your nerves.  This will get you out of pain.  This can take many visits, but lack of pain is the first major improvement most people notice.  Unfortunately some people in El Cajon drop their chiropractic treatment at this point which often leads to their pain coming back.

2.  Continued treatment to help you heal. 

Once you are out of pain, we continue your treatment to help actual healing.  Most spinal misalignment is brought about by damage to the ligaments and muscles which causes the spinal bones to misalign.  This causes the spinal nerve to be irritated which is what causes the pain.

Even here at Richter Chiropractic of El Cajon, it takes a minimum of three months for ligaments to heal properly.  If treatment is dropped before this occurs, the damage that caused you pain in the first place will continue and several months down the road your pain will be back.  Unfortunately at this point we will have to start all over again with your treatment.  This adds unnecessary time and expense to your treatment.

3. Maintenance to keep your body healthy.

The body is an amazing thing.  It is by design, an advanced biological machine.  By continuing to maintain spinal health through regular adjustment, the body will run at its best!  Regular chiropractic adjustment here in El Cajon can prevent future problems with your body.

STAY OUT OF PAIN!  Complete your treatment!

Doctors are reporting a “steep rise” in the number of young children with kidney stones, according to anecdotal data cited by The New York Times.

“In China recently, many children who drank milk tainted with melamine – a toxic chemical illegally added to watered-down milk to inflate the protein count – developed kidney stones,” the paper says.  ”The increase in the United States is attributed to a host of factors, including a food additive that is both legal and ubiquitous: SALT!

Starting here at home in El Cajon, we are concerned about your children too.

Experts say children are consuming too much salt and too little water.

The also blame ‘obesity’ for the increase in the number of pediatric kidney stone cases that doctors are seeing across the USA.  Regular chiropractic care is a good health tip for your children.

“The incidence of kidney stones in adults has also been rising, especially in women, and experts say they see more adults in their 20s and 30s with stones; in the past, it was more common in adults in their 40s and 50s, the paper says.

Are your children drinking enough good pH water?  If not, you need to think about what you’re feeding them and letting them drink.

Their health depends on your choices.

We provide chiropractic care at our office in El Cajon.  They need it just as much as you do.

A lot of times, you may not appreciate what regular care at our office in El Cajon can do for you and for your family members. Some facts and a case in point.

Bells Palsy is simply a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop. The nerve damage may also affect your sense of taste and how you make tears and saliva. As a chiropractor in El Cajon, I’ve seen this condition come on suddenly, often overnight.

The cause of Bells Palsy is not clear. Most cases are thought to be caused by the herpes virus that causes cold sores. In most cases the nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face is damaged by inflammation.

A 40 year old woman presented herself to this office in El Cajon with right facial paralysis of 2 days duration.  She had tingling sensations at C7/T1 which was at the base of the neck, along the shoulder area.  She had right facial numbness, an inability to smile on the affected side and an inability to eat on that side.

After 7 visits, regular chiropractic care here at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon, she had complete recovery.

Chiropractic care in El Cajon and surrounding areas during pregnancy is an important part of pregnancy care.

A woman’s body undergoes an amazing amount of changes during pregnancy.  As her baby grows, her musculoskeletal system must adjust accordingly to accommodate and prepare for delivery. Chiropractic care in El Cajon helps her body to stay aligned as these changes occur and also helps to keep the nervous system functioning at its optimal level.

Many pregnant women experience low back pain and hip/pelvic pain. These discomforts are the result of the stresses put on the body by the “rapid growth” of the baby and the changes the body must undergo to accommodate those adjustments.  This causes stress in these areas, resulting in spinal misalignments, (or subluxations) which then causes pain and dysfunction.

My goal as a chiropractor is to correct the subluxations or spinal misalignments in the pelvis to help balance the uterus and allow the baby to get into a better position.  Chiropractic adjustments for a pregnant woman in El Cajon are specific, gentle, and safe.

Besides increasing a pregnant woman’s comfort level, an aligned pelvis can result in a quicker, safer, and easier birth. When a baby is in breech or transverse position a cesarean section is almost always performed.  Helping the baby to get into a proper head-down position by balancing the pelvis and ligaments helps to avoid c-section due to baby positioning.

Help your baby develop properly by having your spine checked regularly and getting your spine adjustment here in El Cajon.

A lack of pH Balance can negatively impact your body!

According to the Journal of Longevity - and to our experience here in El Cajon - poor health is linked to acid overload.  That’s why it’s important to regulate your ‘delicate’ pH balance.  The closer to 7.39 (neutral) you are, the healthier you’ll be.  However, if your pH is too acidic, long-term, you will most likely start to experience things like:

• Sapped energy and stamina
• Weakened heart and circulation
• Decreased sexual desire and performance
• Accelerated aging
• Breathing problems
• Irregular bowels
• Joint problems
• Soreness in our muscles or minor muscle pain

Too much acid decreases your body’s ability to absorb vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

Why? Acid overoad wrecks your enzymes so nothing can dissolve completely. This lack of pH balance can ead to health problems.

Restore Your pH Balance with Alkaline pH Water.  Available here at Richter Chiropractic in El Cajon.

It seems our lives are becoming more hectic every day and it is getting harder and harder to find the time to do the things we want to do for ourselves, even here in sunny El Cajon.  We often find getting enough exercise to keep you healthy and energized is very difficult.  And chiropractic care can help.

1. Consider setting your alarm 30 minutes earlier in the morning to give you time for a 20 minute workout.  If you did this 3 days a week you can get an hour of exercise time in that you did not have before.  Exercising in the morning before your day gets going is often easier as you are not yet caught up in all that you have to do that day.

2. If your day includes business luncheons and dinners, consider if it might be more effective and better time management to do some of this business on the phone.  Do you really need the hour and half for the dinner meeting to conduct this business?  Can it be done in an hour instead?  Use this ‘extra’ time to do some physical activity, even if it is just a a brisk 30 minute walk.

3.Exercise while at work.  There are several things you can do while seated at your desk to get some exercise in while working.  One example is to keep some small weights in your desk and use them while on the phone, especially if you think it is going to be a long call.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  If you work on the 75th floor, take the elevator up to the 70th floor and walk up the last 5 floors.

Use these tips as a starting point and be on the lookout for more spots in your day where you can fit in a little exercise.  You don’t have to go all out for some 45 minute sport to reap the benefits of exercise.  Short exercises done throughout the day add up and don’t seem like such a daunting task.  And regular chiropractic visits will help you maintain your better health!  I wish you all the best.
