			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>As a chiropractor I believe that there are many reasons for people to avoid taking painkillers whenever possible. Most people know that not only can painkillers become quickly addictive, but that they carry risky side effects as well. Though many of us are familiar with many of the negative side effects of painkillers, here&#8217;s one that surprised me. A new study in men hints that taking over-the-counter painkillers on a regular basis can actually lead to hearing loss, especially in younger men. And, an even bigger surprise, the study focused on the most common over-the-counter painkillers, Tylenol and Advil. So listen up!</p>
<p>Researchers found that men younger than age 50 who regularly took acetaminophen more than two times a week had roughly double the risk of hearing loss compared to men who did not take acetaminophen regularly. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol and certain other pain relievers.  They also found that men within this same age group who regularly took ibuprofen (the main ingredient in Advil) or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) at least twice a week had a nearly two-thirds higher risk of hearing loss than men who took NSAIDs less often. Men who took aspirin twice a week had a one-third higher risk.</p>
<p>The findings, which were published in the American Journal of Medicine March 2010, stem from nearly 27,000 men enrolled since 1986 in the <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/health" target=_self>health</a> Professionals&#8217; Follow-Up Study. As part of the study, the men, who were between 40 and 74 years old at the outset, provided information on analgesic use, hearing loss and other relevant factors every 2 years for 18 years, during which time 3,488 men were diagnosed with hearing loss.  For more information on this interesting study, go to <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62500G20100306?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=healthNews&amp;rpc=76">Reuters.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>As your San Diego Chiropractor, I know from experience that sometimes life can be a pain in the neck! Unfortunately, though circumstances in our life may change quickly, neck pain can linger and, often, get much worse. Neck problems, in addition to causing pain in the immediate area of the neck, can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness down the arm and into the fingers. Neck conditions can contribute to both tension headaches and head pain. Finding the reason for your particular neck pain will require a thorough examination and evaluation by a proficient chiropractor, like myself.</p>
<p>Why do so many people suffer from neck problems? There are many causes for neck pain and associated symptoms. The neck might sustain trauma from an accident causing strained muscles, sprained ligaments, and spinal joint injuries. Postural <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>stress</a> can occur from sitting at a computer for long periods and/or performing repetitive tasks. Such stress creates muscular tension and inflammation in the neck and upper back. Poor spinal mechanics and weak or overdeveloped muscles can add to postural stress. Other causes of neck problems are “slipped,” herniated, or ruptured cervical discs, and general aging that produces degeneration of the spinal joints and discs creating inflammation of soft tissues leading to chronic pain.</p>
<p>A chiropractic approach offers a natural and unique mechanical approach to a wide range of cervical problems. <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>chiropractic</a> treatment results in pain relief, decrease in tension, and increase in motion.</p>
<p>With my education and training in chiropractic technique, and in my twelve years of being a San Diego Chiropractor, I&#8217;ve become an expert when it comes to knowledge of the spine and musculoskeletal system. I am able to determine the reason for your neck pain and treat it at its source. Chiropractic care can give you the <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/neck-pain" target=_self>neck pain</a> relief you’ve been looking for. Give my San Diego Office a call today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Did you know that chiropractic therapy has been increasing in popularity for a long time and that it&#8217;s continuing to increase annually as the favored healthcare option for many people? As a San Diego Chiropractor, I can confidently tell you that individuals are choosing chiropractic treatment because of the many positive aspects that such care offers. No other medical practice is less invasive to the body and, at the same time, is able to stimulate the body&#8217;s organic capacity to heal itself, instead of masking symptoms with medicines.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, where there&#8217;s a musculoskeletal structure, as in the human body, there is the chance of musculoskeletal dysfunction such as low <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/back-pain" target=_self>back pain</a> and <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/neck-pain" target=_self>neck pain</a>, pain in the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints, and ankle and <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/foot-pain" target=_self>foot pain</a>. No one is immune from misalignment of the spine and joint inflammation, though a large number of problems can be the consequence of sports injuries, accidents, and the aging process. Regardless of the cause, any kind of motion on a traumatized area of the body can not simply add to pain or suffering, but will result in inactivity. And, certainly, specific musculoskeletal challenges, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible incapacitation.</p>
<p>It has been claimed of chiropractic treatment that its &#8220;many benefits exceed&#8221; merely eliminating a specific challenge. And, though correcting a particular problem is fantastic, in and of itself, in actual fact, someone who comes in to see a chiropractor for lower back pain, for instance, not only profits from pain alleviation, but also from increased circulation, a reduction or elimination of lactic acid, smoother travel of oxygen and nutrients within the body, more flexibility, less everyday pain and soreness, quicker recuperation time, a more comfortable sensation, and the deterrence of future harm! Is it any wonder that chiropractic care has become the treatment of preference for so many people?</p>
<p>Besides providing specialized musculoskeletal care, chiropractors also include education and guidelines as it pertains to strengthening your complete health and wellness. Chiropractors are well aware that in order for you to get healthier and remain that way, it is important for to decide on a naturally healthy lifestyle that includes drinking enough water to keep the body well-hydrated, following a nutritious diet program, and developing a basic stretching and exercise routine.</p>
<p>Chiropractic treatment doesn&#8217;t exactly work &#8220;miracles, &#8221; but it can come fairly close in a considerable number of areas that may perhaps surprise you. For example, chiropractic treatment can help pregnant women deliver more easily. It can strengthen developmental abilities of babies, such as better motor skills, and it can often eliminate scoliosis. Chiropractic adjustments for kids may help relieve asthma complaints, ear infections, and even bed-wetting. Along with the positive aspects just stated, routine chiropractic management can help adults to feel more vital and dynamic, which consequently improves productivity and life enjoyment. And, finally, for maturing baby boomers and the growing senior population, not only can chiropractic therapy aide in reducing age-related problems and keep an individual more active in later years, it can reduce the balance problems that all too often end up in critical injury from falls.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re already visiting a chiropractor, good for you! You have probably experienced many of the &#8220;plus points&#8221; mentioned above. If so, have you thought to enlighten an associate, friend, or family member about chiropractic? Don&#8217;t let someone you care about, who may be living with pain, fall victim to the sort of misinformation regarding chiropractic care that could keep them from living their life more actively. Tell the people you care about to call your San Diego Chiropractor. I can help and they&#8217;ll thank <em>you</em>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>As a woman and a San Diego Chiropractor, I know that you may be wondering if chiropractic adjustments are safe during pregnancy. Well, the answer is  “Most definitely!”  In fact, it’s a very smart idea to get adjusted while you are pregnant.</p>
<p>You’ve probably noticed that your body is going through quite a few changes, and these alterations will continue as your pregnancy progresses. One change that goes basically unnoticed is your body’s increased production of the hormone elastin. This hormone is designed to relax the tendons in your pelvis. This relaxation allows your pelvis more flexibility during the birthing process to make delivering your baby easier.</p>
<p>This process, though wonderful in assisting during labor, can produce much discomfort in the months leading up to the birth. As your pregnancy advances, more elastin is released, which allows your pelvis to become increasingly more unstable. Add to that the gradual increase in the size of your baby and uterus, and you have the recipe for severe low <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/back-pain" target=_self>back pain</a>. As a Chiropractor in San Diego who treats many different musculoskeletal challenges, I find that many pregnant women come into my office for symptoms associated with their pregnancy but, as a rule, the main complaint is low back pain.</p>
<p>One side benefit of having your spine and pelvis checked by a chiropractor regularly during your <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/pregnancy" target=_self>pregnancy</a> is that there is proof that it can actually decrease labor time. Why? Simply put, if your pelvis is aligned properly, the muscles contracting during the labor process are more efficient because they don’t have to fight past misaligned joints.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>chiropractic</a> adjustments are not only safe and beneficial in relieving the low back pain associated with pregnancy, but other symptoms like heartburn, nausea, swelling, and so on. And, if needed, a well-trained chiropractor can also help with a breached baby. This is done by using the Webster Technique, a low force technique to manipulate the uterus and get the baby into the proper position for delivery. (A simple Google search on the Webster Technique can give you much more information.)</p>
<p>If you are pregnant, you can feel confident in seeing your chiropractor. And, if you&#8217;re in San Diego, or live nearby, I&#8217;d be more than happy to assist you. Chiropractic care can not only make you a lot more comfortable in the months of your pregnancy, but it can make your labor process easier as well!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I understand as a San Diego Chiropractor for more than twelve years, treating those suffering from sciatic pain, that sciatica can be an extremely incapacitating condition. Those who suffer from sciatica are regrettably all too familiar with the kind of deep pain that often radiates through the lower part of their body, accompanies their waking hours each day and interferes with almost all of their daily activities.</p>
<p>Could your low <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/back-pain" target=_self>back pain</a> be generated by sciatica? If your pain radiates from your low back, through one or both sides of your buttocks, down the large <strong>sciatic nerve</strong> in the back of one or both legs, and possibly radiates into your knee(s), you are more than likely suffering from sciatica. Also, sitting, as well as movement, can be painful. Commonly lying down will lessen, or occasionally even temporarily get rid of the pain. However, it&#8217;s important for you to be aware that sciatica cannot be corrected without appropriate treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Radiculopathy</strong></p>
<p>One of the clinical diagnoses of sciatica is referred to as a &#8220;radiculopathy&#8221;, a medical term that means simply that a disc has protruded from its natural position in the vertebral column and is putting pressure on the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back, which forms part of the sciatic nerve. Such pressure can cause excruciating pain.</p>
<p>Prolonged sitting, particularly in an improper position, can produce imbalances in the muscles enclosing the spine and added pressure on the intervertebral discs. A specific event or injury isn&#8217;t generally the cause of sciatica, but rather sciatica tends to develop over time as a consequence of ordinary wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine. After a while the lower spine can lose its normal functioning capabilities during ordinary stresses.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the intervertebral disc incurs small fissures or cracks, which then permit the soft nucleus to protrude the disc outward. Pain is created as the disc pushes on sensitive tissues. This occurrence is often referred to as a ruptured, or slipped, disc. Sciatica is the result of the disc pressing on the spinal nerve. Fortunately, most disc conditions, including sciatica, can be completely relieved with chiropractic adjustments and therapy that usually includes postural <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/exercise" target=_self>exercise</a>s.</p>
<p><strong>Periformis Syndrome</strong></p>
<p>Periformis syndrome is another condition that results in sciatic pain. Periformis syndrome happens when the periformis muscle, for any reason, goes into spasm and irritates the sciatic nerve, which runs &#8220;deep to the muscle.&#8221; Along with chiropractic adjustments, this particular sciatica can be significantly relieved by <a title="sciatica stretches" href="http://www.sciaticastretches.com/">sciatica stretches</a> that your chiropractor can recommend.</p>
<p>It is essential for you to see your chiropractor for treatment if you are experiencing sciatic pain. If you are in the San Diego area, I invite you to call my San Diego <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>chiropractic</a> Office. I look forward to helping you to get out of pain and get your life back!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Hi, I&#8217;m Dr. Jeanne Ames, your San Diego Chiropractor, and I have a few questions to ask regarding your hip pain: Do you feel pain in one or both hips whenever you twist them or when you cross your legs?  Does the pain keep you awake at night and make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep? When you get out of bed in the morning, or when you get out of your car, are you stiff and do you find it hard, at first, to move your legs? If you answered in the affirmative to any or all of these questions, it is likely that you have imbalances and alignment problems in the lower part of your body that in addition to creating <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/hip-pain" target=_self>hip pain</a> can, over time, bring about degenerative hip joint disease if not treated.</p>
<p>Even though hip pain and related problems are often signs of age-related degenerative conditions, especially osteoarthritis of the hip joint, osteo<a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/arthirtis" target=_self>arthritis</a> isn’t always the “culprit.” In fact, rather than being the original cause of the problem, osteoarthritis of the hip joint can be the ultimate result of damage to your hips at a previous time.</p>
<p>Gait changes caused by biomechanical injury such as an ankle sprain or knee strain, can generate hip pain. Furthermore, your gait may shift to counterbalance new body demands such as a job change, an alteration in the way you sit, a new sport or activity, or if you start driving for long periods of time on a regular basis..</p>
<p>In addition, gait asymmetries can occur from leg length dissimilarities, foot pronation (walking like a duck), even carrying a baby or small child on your hip. The point is, anything that generates an asymmetry or imbalance when you are in motion can cause painful hip problems.</p>
<p>As your Chiropractor in San Diego, I can help in many of these areas. Along with your adjustments, as part of the chiropractic management of your hip problem, I may suggest that you wear orthotics. I will also offer appropriate progressive rehabilitative exercises that include muscle stretching and strengthening.</p>
<p>Hip pain won’t disappear on its own. Hip pain indicates that something needs to be corrected. Get out of pain, get back in balance, and get your life back now! Call our San Diego <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>chiropractic</a> Office today. I know what to do to help you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you’re over forty you know that as we age our body feels and acts differently than it used to when we were younger. It just doesn’t seem fair that as our mind appears to improve and become more “inventive,” our body seems to become less “cooperative.” We’re stiff in the morning; certain activities during the day make us sore at night; and, if we’re not truly careful, even something as simple as turning too fast or bending over to pick up a dropped object, can send our back or some other muscle group into spasm. The good news is that there are specialized techniques accessible with chiropractic that are not only beneficial in slowing down the aging process of the body, but can help you to avoid some of those problems completely. In fact, you could say that as your San Diego Chiropractor, I can help to take the pain out of growing older!</p>
<p>Take arthritis for instance. In point of fact, with the exception of pharmaceuticals, allopathic medicine doesn’t take care of this age-related affliction. What is the basis for such a limited approach? Most medical professionals merely treat the<em> symptoms</em> of arthritis. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, is not only beneficial in relieving the pain of arthritis, without drugs and their side dangerous effects, but your chiropractor is an expert in finding the origin of the condition and eliminates it. Chiropractors, like me, have been helping people suffering from pain caused by <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/arthirtis" target=_self>arthritis</a> and other age-related challenges, for over a hundred years.</p>
<p>Repetitive <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>stress</a>es, years of incorrect gait and improper posture, and lack of beneficial movement over time cause wear on various joints and create the arthritic changes the body goes through as you get older. Chiropractic adjustments restore motion back into your joints and relieve any vertebral misalignments that may be causing irritation and restriction. In addition to causing arthritic changes in the spine and increasing pain, did you know that misaligned vertebra can also reduce your resistance and immunity? It’s true, and this might be one of the reasons why it may seem to you that as you age you experience more health problems and that it frequently takes longer for you to feel better again. Studies have shown that older individuals who are under chiropractic care stay healthier. To put it another way, as you get older, <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>chiropractic</a> treatment is good for what ails you!</p>
<p>Chiropractors are experts when it comes to the health of the musculoskeletal system, from the small, growing frame of an infant to the full-grown body of a mature adult. As your San Diego Chiropractor, I am experienced in working with the aging process of the body and have excellent observational and diagnostic skills that help in locating spinal misalignments and joint degeneration. In fact, a chiropractic examination can frequently reveal certain age-related changes before they’ve begun to create noticeable pain. Furthermore, I will assess your posture and check your gait to determine if there are any faulty patterns that might cause more arthritic changes in the future if not corrected.</p>
<p>So, if you have been feeling your age lately (but you’d like to feel a whole lot better than that!), make at appointment today to see me, Dr. Jeanne Ames, your San Diego Chiropractor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-395" title="67002" src="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/67002-300x300.jpg" alt="67002" width="300" height="300" />1.  Understand why we are putting weight on<br />
The majority of overweight people don’t have problems with their metabolism or any other health issue.  The real problem lies in the food groups being consumed, the quantities being eaten and the lack of physical activity.  Humans are ingesting large amounts of sugar and starch in the form of grains (and potatoes) into their diets and eating less meat and vegetables.</p>
<p>Modern man has begun consuming large amounts of high carbohydrates from starch and sugar rich foods, in short, we are consuming excessive amounts of bread, cereals, pasta, corn, rice and potatoes, then add to this list soft drinks, ice cream, candies etc.</p>
<p>Excessive amounts of carbohydrates can cause many health issues.  Some of the more common are:</p>
<p>Weight Gain                                    Fatigue and frequent sleepiness</p>
<p>Depression                                       Brain Fogginess</p>
<p>Bloating                                           Low Blood Sugar</p>
<p>High Blood Pressure                        High Triglycerides</p>
<p>Eating controlled amounts of carbohydrates is necessary for good health; however, we have become addicted to sweet starchy foods.  Unfortunately the body can only store a small amount of carbohydrate in the liver and muscles, the excess is converted via insulin and taken up by the fat cells of the body.  The more carbohydrates we consume the greater amount of insulin produced by the pancreas to break it down.  This cycle creates those bulging stomachs, fatty thighs and chins.  Excessive amounts of insulin in the blood also suppress important hormones that are required for fat metabolism and muscle development.</p>
<p>2.  Do you have a compelling reason?</p>
<p>One of the main reasons why many people embark on a weight control program and fail, is that their compelling reason is not strong enough to motivate them to continue and reach their desired weight or health goal.</p>
<p>Recognizing the role that food should play in our lives is very important.  When food becomes the main focus in our lives we have lost focus.  Motivation that comes from within is the best form.  External motivation never has the power that is often required to achieve long term goals.<br />
3.  Wanting to lose weight is one thing, knowing how to do it is the difficult part.</p>
<p>Don’t be influenced by what you read or what well meaning friends might say.  You are the only one who knows how you feel about yourself.  A lot of articles you may read are often advocate that we should all be a size 8 or smaller.  Bone structure, and other genetic factors play a major role in determining our ideal weight.</p>
<p>Once you decide what your ideal weight should be, write it down and internalize it.  Start to see yourself buying clothes you want, or enjoying an event feeling lighter and healthier.</p>
<p>So, decide on your ideal weight, internalize it, and don’t be influenced by what other people think or say.</p>
<p>4.  How to avoid dangerous foods.</p>
<p>Being able to recognize dangerous foods will help you avoid them.  The dangerous foods are those that are high in sugar content or starches like bread, pasta, rice, cereals, potatoes and alcohol.</p>
<p>5.  How to evaluate weight loss programs to ensure long term success.</p>
<p>The problem with a lot of weight loss options is that they are too restrictive.  Trying to buy low carbohydrate or low calorie foods can be a nightmare, let alone expensive.</p>
<p>Meal replacements like shakes and home delivered meals are not a health option, and most important for weight loss will not educate and empower you on how to eat once you are off your diet.  This is a crucial component needed to help you not go back to silly food habits and put the lost weight back on again.</p>
<p>Our bodies were not meant to function of process, manufactured, frozen or dehydrated foods.  We need wholesome naturally occurring foods like vegetables, fruit, nuts, whole grains, meat, fish, eggs and cheese.</p>
<p>Any weight loss program that prevents you from eating 3 meals of the above mentioned foods each day is not sustainable over the long term.  When you know which food groups to eat and how much of each, you will then be able to make the correct food choices that best suit your metabolism and body type.</p>
<p>Avoid weight loss programs that recommend meal replacement drinks and don’t advise food that are readily available.</p>
<p>6.  How to get back on track.</p>
<p>So, how do you get back on track?  It’s easy!  Let’s say you do go to a wedding, normally you may drink a toast (alcohol) or have a slice of wedding cake.  These foods are very high in carbohydrates-carbs that you don’t need.  A weight loss program must teach you the correct way of getting rid of those unwanted carbs when you get off track for special occasions so your weight drop continues going down, not go up and you give up hope in reaching your goal weight.  Getting back on track is easy when you know how.</p>
<p>7.  You don’t need to exercise yourself stupid if you don’t want to!Exercise is great if you enjoy it.  Exercise should stimulate you, not exhaust you.  You often see people jogging along the side of the road and probably think to your self this poor fellow looks like he needs a lift!</p>
<p>Burning body fat through exercise is quite strenuous.  In order to burn body fat you need aerobic exercise, or exercise of prolonged duration.  Too strenuous <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/exercise" target=_self>exercise</a> may only burn glucose, and very little fat. Walking 30 minutes a day is one of the best ways to burn fat.</p>
<p>8.  How to deal with negative people around you.</p>
<p>It is vital to your success that your immediate family supports your efforts.  There is nothing worse than family members chomping on foods that you are trying to avoid.  Don’t buy foods that you know are hard to resist, only keep food in the house that are good for you.  The world is full of negative people, try to avoid those that are particularly bad and be determined to prove them wrong.</p>
<p>9.  Ensure the weight you lose is fat loss, not muscle mass.</p>
<p>The most popular weight loss programs are either meal replacements, calorie counting meal plans and liquid diets.  The problem with all of these approaches to weight loss is the probability you will lose muscle mass as you lose weight.  By losing muscle mass you are doing more harm than good.  By losing muscle mass you will have to eat less than when you first started on your weight loss program as you will have reduced your calorie burning engine-your muscle mass.</p>
<p>10.  How do you maintain ideal weight over time?Losing weight is one thing, keeping it off is another.  Most people can lose weight but it is the long term maintenance that seems to be the problem.  Being able to maintain your ideal weight depends on a number of factors.</p>
<p>Firstly, weight management is a lifestyle issue; if you give no thought to what you eat and how much you eat your deserve to put it all back on.  Decide that you want a healthier more active lifestyle, and become an educated consumer of food so you don’t have unhealthy habits.</p>
<p>Secondly, you must realize that certain health conditions may stop you from maintaining your weight loss over time.  These health conditions need to be addressed by specially trained <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/health" target=_self>health</a>care practitioners, not using drugs or surgery, but by providing you with the required nutrients your body needs, and information on food sensitivities.</p>
<p>Finally, get rid of those fat clothes.  I you want to be a size 10 or 12 only have size 10 or 12 clothes.  If you should start to gain a bit of weight you will feel it immediately in our clothes.  Don’t wait until you are 20-40 pounds overweight, get it off straight away.  Decide on a window of weight, say 6-10 pounds on either side of your ideal weight.  If your weight starts to shift up don’t let it go over 6 pounds before taking action.</p>
<p>Pinpoint and correct your body’s weak links and food sensitivities to ensure long term success.  Good health is priceless.  Improper eating and the consequences of it will erode good health, and cost you dearly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Chiropractors like me, Jeanne Ames, your San Diego Chiropractor, are committed to making sure our patients know the importance of drinking enough water everyday. The chant in our clinic is “Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!” Water is as essential as air when it comes to human survival. Therefore, one would suppose that drinking a sufficient quantity of water would be as visceral as breathing in enough air, but a surprising 75 percent of Americans suffer from mild, incessant dehydration. (Most individuals aren’t breathing enough either, but one issue at a time.) You cannot have good <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/health" target=_self>health</a> without drinking an adequate amount of water. Every system in your body — every cell, tissue, and organ — is dependent up water to function properly. Your saliva, and the fluids surrounding your joints, are essentially water. Water balances the temperature and metabolism of the body, and keeps the blood circulating. Drinking plenty of water daily has been shown to improve nutrient absorption and toxin removal, and to reduce heartburn, hypertension, exhaustion, headaches, and even <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/back-pain" target=_self>back pain</a>.</p>
<p>Athletes are particularly at risk when it comes to functional challenges caused by dehydration. “Physiologically, their core body temperature could be higher than it should have been if they were hydrated. Their heart rate will be higher, and they’re going to perceive that they’re working harder than they actually are,” said Susan Yeargin, assistant professor of athletic training in Indiana State’s College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services. According to researchers at Indiana State University, a high percentage of collegiate and professional athletes begin the season dehydrated, putting their health at risk even before they begin strenuous workouts.

<p>Wondering how much water is enough water? Chiropractors,  like almost all health care professionals, advise no less than eight, 8-ounce glasses of water every day for many patients, but for our patients who are athletes, or for individuals who carry around excess weight or <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/exercise" target=_self>exercise</a> or work in a hot environment, we propose even more. How can you be sure if you, personally, are drinking an adequate amount of water? The color of your urine is a good gauge. If it is a light, pale yellow, it’s an indication that you’re well-hydrated!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>So, you&#8217;ve never played tennis in your life, but you&#8217;ve come down with a seriously painful case of &#8220;tennis elbow.&#8221; How in the world did that happen? As your San Diego Chiropractor, I want you to know that the condition is actually &#8220;epicondylits,&#8221; or more specifically &#8220;lateral epicondyle,&#8221; the medical term for the painful irritation of the tendons of one or more forearm muscles where they attach to the bony projection near the lateral epicondyleis (elbow joint).  But, let&#8217;s face it, &#8220;tennis elbow&#8221; is much easier to say and far easier to remember! And, as you&#8217;ve probably surmised, this painful challenge is not just produced by playing tennis. In fact, any activity that requires repetitive gripping of something can produce pain in the elbow; for example activities like knitting, chopping food, and computer use. Additionally, toting heavy bags improperly or using bad posture while performing any of the aforementioned activities puts excessive <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net" target=_self>stress</a> on the elbow.</p>
<p>But, your elbow pain may not actually have anything to do with your elbow, itself, just as it has nothing to do with whether or not you play tennis. How can that be the case? Sometimes elbow pain can be the result of a problem farther up the arm or even in the neck. A vertebral subluxation or a disc protrusion in the neck commonly will affect the nerves that give function to the forearm muscles and cause them to become irritated.  The irritation in most cases causes the muscles to tighten and this tension causes undue pressure on the tendon attachment(s). In this case, elbow problems are the <em>result</em> as opposed to the <em>cause</em> of your elbow pain.</p>
<p>Epicondylitis, like nearly all muscoloskeletal problems, usually doesn&#8217;t go away on its own. On the contrary, due to the fact that the body is so successful at compensating for dysfunctions, if the challenge is left untreated, difficulties such as additional subluxations and an increase in degenerative changes that cause <a href="http://www.mysandiegochiropractor.net/category/arthirtis" target=_self>arthritis</a> can occur.</p>
<p>When analyzing and treating musculoskeletal dysfunctions are required, including those that produce elbow pain, s chiropractor is an expert. As your Chiropractor in San Diego, I will be able to uncover the actual cause of your challenge and treat it at its source.</p>
<p>So, you don&#8217;t need to suffer with &#8220;tennis elbow&#8221; whether you actually play tennis or not. Not only will chiropractic treatment be able to eliminate your elbow pain now, but I will advise you on how you can avoid pain in the future no matter what your activities may include.
