Anchors Chiropractic

Here is something the Dunwoody and Sandy Springs communities might not know about me. What I am about to share, literally changed the course of my life. Recently, a patient asked me why I am so passionate about Chiropractic. I thought about my response and decided to share it with everyone. Being the son of a chiropractor, I sort of took good health for granted. I was rarely sick, and (unfortunately) never missed school. I played a lot of sports, but football was my fav...Continue reading

The human immune system is one of the most amazing things in the entire universe. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that your natural immunity isn’t good enough post infection. Several studies have shown that people infected with Covid-19 tend to have T cells that can target the virus, regardless of whether they have experienced symptoms. So far, so normal. But scientists have also recently discovered that some people can test negative for antibodies against Covid-19 ...and positive for T cells that can identify the virus. This has led to suspicions that some level of immunity against the disease might be twice as common as was previously thought. Most bizarrely of all, when researchers tested blood samples taken years before the pandemic started, they found T cells which were specifically tailored to detect proteins on the surface of Covid-19. This suggests that some people already had a pre-existing degree of resistance against the virus before it ever infected a human. And it appears to be surprisingly prevalent: 40-60% of unexposed individuals had these cells.

I've been talking about your Vitamin D levels for a long time especially during COVID. This study just backs it up. If you are not taking Vit. D3 it might behoove you to do so. We have some and I just ordered more. *** 80% of the participants in this study had low Vit D. "Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and a significantly increased risk of pneumonia and viral upper respiratory tract infections. Vitamin D deficiency is ...associated with an increase in thrombotic episodes, which are frequently observed in COVID-19. Vitamin D deficiency has been found to occur more frequently in patients with obesity and diabetes. These conditions are reported to carry a higher mortality in COVID-19. If vitamin D does in fact reduce the severity of COVID-19 in regard to pneumonia/ARDS, inflammation, inflammatory cytokines and thrombosis, it is our opinion that supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic."

When the communication between the nervous system and the immune system is clear your body is equipped to defeat bacteria, viruses, infections & invaders of all kinds. Your body even destroys Cancer on a daily basis! That’s right, your body produces between 10-100 thousand Cancer cells everyday. The good news is that a healthy immune system will destroy between 10-100 thousand Cancer cells everyday.

You’ve probably heard that your body is about 65% water. Since every cell needs water, it’s important to stay hydrated. Here are just a few ways water benefits your body: Regulates temperature Flushes out waste products in the liver and kidney Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells Makes nutrients accessible to the body ... Protects organs and body tissues Assists in the metabolism process Lubricates the joints How Much Water is Enough? Since every person is different, there’s not one number. A rule of thumb is half your body weight in ounces. In other words, if you weigh 160 pounds, aim to drink 80 ounces of water each day. Hydrate for Spinal Health The discs in your spine are made up almost entirely of water, but they don’t absorb water like the rest of your body. Discs stay hydrated through a process called imbibition. This happens when there is proper motion between the joints around each disc. That creates an effect like a pump, and nutrients are moved in and out of the disc. Water, Chiropractic Care and You Misalignments in the spine restrict the rehydrating process for your discs. That may lead to disc degeneration which causes instability and spinal decay. A decline in spinal health also affects the central nervous system, which communicates with every system and cell in your body. When chiropractic care is a part of your regular healthcare routine, alignment is restored which helps your body better absorb water and stay healthy. So, WATER you going to do to stay hydrated?

Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Roger Sperry noted that 90% of the stimulation of the brain comes from movement of the spine. This explains why you’ve never fallen asleep while walking yet you fall asleep every time you sit in a comfortable chair. The movement of your spine is vitally important to your overall level of activity and increasingly we know it’s vital for a healthy brain. Keep your spine healthy with regular chiropractic care! Your brain depends on it.

Your body is made to move (properly)! The body thrives on healthy movement. Joints that aren’t functioning properly are injured with movement. Think about it like misaligned car tires, if the tires are misaligned but the car is only going to sit in the garage it’s not that damaging, but if you’re going to drive that car across the country those misaligned tires are going to cause abnormal wear and worse. Make sure your body is moving properly and then get moving! Give us a call to get started 770-394-0345
