Low back pain
I have just moved to the area and am trying to locate a new Chiropractor. I have looked online and found several Chiropractors under my searches for Maryland Chiropractors and Bethesda Chiropractors, however, my Chiropractor back home uses a very specific technique called Gonstead, and I am having trouble locating a Chiropractor that uses this technique. I have been living without my regular adjustments and quite honestly my low back pain is returning and I can't take it anymore.
I don't just get adjusted for low back pain though. I know that there are many other health benefits to having a clear nervous system. I know that my with each adjustment, my body is clearing out the traumas of my everyday life and allowing me to cope and adapt better in my new surroundings. Things that we don't think about, affect the function of our nervous system everyday. Things like physical stressors, working out, running, and even carrying that awful book bag cause stress on the nervous system. But there are other things that cause these things called subluxations (just a fancy term for when the bones in your spinal column move out of place). Emotional stress is another big thing that I encounter here at school and that mostly is in the form of financial stress and test stress. These take their toll on your physiology and can cause your body to try and use its adaptive mechanisms to help you alleviate this stress. These adaptations, although for your own good, can also be causing interference in your nervous system. A third and final cause can be chemical in nature. We are all subjected to chemical stressors everyday. They come in the forms of drugs, alcohol, cigarette smoke, pollution, and even the chemicals in our food.
Basically, in summary, there is no way to avoid subluxations. For your sake and the sake of your body's functioning, you must get checked and adjusted by a Chiropractor. You may feel well, and I hope you do, however, that does not necessarily mean that your body and nervous system are functioning at their best. Just like an illness that takes years to surface, these breaks in communication between your brain and your body, could be doing you in a little bit at a time. Don't wait, find yourself a Chiropractor today. You will be glad that you did.
