Did you know? The first set of vertebrae (the cervical vertebrae found in the neck) are called the Atlas. Atlas is also a character from Greek mythology who, after losing a fight, was turned to stone and had to carry the weight of the Earth and the Heavens on his shoulders. The cervical vertebrae were also given this name as they carry the weight of the head.

Some tips for resetting your sleep schedule 1. Get a daily dose of natural light: Because daylight is a vital influence on your circadian rhythm, exposure to natural light can promote better synchronization of your internal clock. 2. Cut down on evening screen time: Cell phones and other devices are sources of excess mental stimulation and emit blue light that can affect circadian timing. To avoid the negative effects of screen time on sleep, try not to use your phone, tablet..., or laptop for at least an hour before bed 3. Be careful with naps: While naps can be restorative in some cases, they can disrupt your sleep routine if you’re not careful. Generally, try to keep naps under 30 minutes and only early in the afternoon so that they don’t make it harder to get to sleep at night.

The process of ossification and bone growth won’t stop until early adulthood usually around the age of 25. At this point, you’ll have 206 bones that are as big as they will ever be. However, through a process called remodeling, bones will form new bone tissue and break down older bone into calcium and other minerals to be released into the bloodstream. That part of the process is called resorption. And if you really want your mind to be blown : Your skeleton completely regenerates itself every decade or so through remodeling.

3 signs you are out of alignment 1. you suffer from headaches, back pain or joint pain- Headaches, joint pain, and backaches are C1 and C2 vertebrae misalignment symptoms and perhaps are the most common reasons people visit a chiropractor. 2. . You can’t turn your head or hips easily: if your neck is stiff or you can’t turn your head, this is a sure sign your cervical spine is out of alignment. The same is true with your hips. In addition to a subluxation, you might have a pr...oblem with tight muscles or damaged connective tissue, such as ligaments or tendons. 3. You catch the flu often: When your spine is out of alignment, that communication between the body and the immune system is blocked or simply isn’t receiving signals clearly. Chiropractic adjustments restore the lines and the communication, which can lead to a much-improved immune response. When the central nervous system is operating in a fully functional manner, the immune system will also function smoothly.

about 3% of the U.S. population has some form of scoliosis some who are born with it, and some who get scoliosis as they age. It is a sideways curvature of the spine that mostly occurs during the growth spurt just before puberty between the age of 10 and 15. Symptoms can include: uneven shoulders, hips, and shoulder blades. While scoliosis is treatable, it is not technically curable. It is a condition that does require ongoing care. One of the most important treatments for Scoliosis is the use of chiropractic therapy sessions. Studies have proven that chiropractic treatment can drastically improve the Cobb angle and help increase mobility. Chiropractors will also work on improving posture through spinal adjustments.

Humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks seven Giraffes simply have larger and longer vertebrae. In fact, the structure of the human neck is almost identical to that of a giraffe's neck, just a lot shorter. Each giraffe bone can be over 10 inches long.

'Rats In The Dump' As we move into the New Year, it’s now more important than ever to really look at our health. What can we do to take control of our health, optimize our immune systems, and make 2021 a great year? Have you ever seen rats invade a clean dumpster? Do we ever see maggots on clean, healthy living things, or only on dead and decaying things?... Rats and maggots are analogous to viruses and bacteria. Viruses and bacteria can only live and thrive when they inhabit a weakened, and vulnerable host. How does our immune system become weakened? The short answer is: from all sorts of physical, chemical, and emotional stressors. Stress is like kryptonite. No matter how hard we work in the gym or in the kitchen, stress can nullify all of that. It negatively affects our vital organs. Stress interferes with normal detoxification and digestive functions, prevents growth and repair of cells and tissues, and disrupts our sleep. Ultimately, leaving us vulnerable for viruses and bacteria, which are normally present, to make us sick, symptomatic, and unwell. There are many ways to reduce the stress in our lives. Tune in to more blog posts to stay well in the upcoming year.
