So I went to the chiropractor for an educational speech and I got some really useful information. I was surprised to hear the huge impact a healthy spine has on your health. He explained daily symptoms like headaches, migraines, tingly hands, back aches and neck aches that people present but think are normal.
He mentioned that feeling good doesn’t necessarily mean you are healthy. There are some problems or diseases the human body could have and you don’t really feel them until the damage is done. What most of the population thinks is that as long as they haven’t had any big accidents they have perfect spines. Well, that is not necessarily true. It’s not until you hit the thirties (or even before) when you start getting all these neck and back aches which are the consequence of bad postures, like being on the computer for long hours, playing video games, reading or any other activity where your neck or spine are out of proper alignment for extended periods of time.
He also explained to us what the consequences are. Basically, your brain sends all the information through a small opening in the base of the skull, where the spinal column goes into the head, and if your spine is putting pressure on the nerves at this point, your body and vital organs are not receiving all the information the brain is sending out. It’s just a matter of time before you start noticing malfunctions in those organs.
Having spine problems can lead to heart attacks, kidney problems, migraines, regular headaches, and many other problems related to your organs and nerves. If you feel you are having back or neck aches, it’s probably a good idea to visit the chiropractor and get some x-rays done.
Have you ever taken a whiff of someone’s cologne/perfume and the mere scent took you back to a distant memory you thought you’d long forgotten? It happens to me from time to time when I pass someone on the street or at my grocery store. Actually, a specific flowery perfume reminds of my time at Fragonard in France many years ago.
