Magnesium and Mood: mood disorders and neurotransmitters - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Magnesium is an essential mineral needed by the body in small amounts. This mineral is involved diverse biochemical reactions in the body. However, studies have shown a direct impact of low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) on mood. Low levels of this mineral may contribute to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Magnesium plays a critical role in the brain and that's why it is dubbed as the “original chill pill.” Too little of this mineral can leave you feeling stressed, fatigued, and panicked. More so, numerous studies have shown that low magnesium levels is linked with different psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders. Why is magnesium important for mood? Magnesium blocks stimulating neurotransmitters and binds to calm, restful receptors in the brain. This way, you enjoy good relaxation. Apart from blocking stimulating neurotransmitters, magnesium has an effect on the HPA axis – the system responsible for responding to stress. It does this by regulating stress hormones like cortisol. In other words, magnesium acts like a brake, preventing your nervous system from being stuck in overdrive. More so, magnesium increase your gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. This mineral binds to and stimulate GABA receptors in the brain - This puts a brake on brain activity. Low GABA levels it becomes difficult to relax and you may suffer panic attacks and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Connection between your brain and gut There is a direct link of communication between the brain and your gut. Besides, they share much of the same tissue. This implies that when your gut is working overtime, it may also influence your brain function. This can lead to a range of problems, including constipation, reflux, diarrhea, and IBS, in addition to anxiety, stress, and panic attacks. When your gut is healthy, however, it influences your mood positive feelings. The beneficial bacteria in the gut support in the making of more GABA receptors in the brain, which helps to alleviate mood disorders. A high magnesium level can help calm your mind, and this helps in healing disorders of the gut. The healthier your gut is, the healthier your brain will be, and vice versa. However, lack of proper nutrition in your diet or poor gut health can result in insufficient production of neurotransmitters which are directly linked to your mood. This may cause anxiety and depression. You can correct this deficiency by consuming a diet rich in magnesium or sometimes, your doctor may recommend that you take magnesium supplements. However, you can get chiropractic care that focuses on a holistic approach to assess the cause of any symptoms you're experiencing, including mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. You can consult Doctor Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more about how minerals like magnesium can have effect on your mood. We offer the best holistic care on tackling issues regarding your mood and health in general.

Why do people take Opioids & How do they work?

Why do People Take Opioids? How Do They Work? – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor You must have heard of the term “opioids” and wonder what it means, why people take them, and how they work. Well, we shall be discussing all of that in this short piece. What are opioids? Opioids are a class of pain-relieving drugs that are naturally found in the opium poppy plant. These drugs work in the brain to produce several effects, including pain relief. Some opioids, such as fentanyl, are synthesized in a laboratory Opioids can either be prescription drugs (referred to as pain killers) or they can be so-called street drugs, such as heroin. Types of opioids There are different types of opioids that have several names, including: Fentanyl Codeine Oxycodone Hydrocodone Morphine Oxymorphone These opioids are often prescribed by doctors in different strengths and administered in different forms, depending on the situation, and the level of pain. Heroin is illegal and highly addictive with no sanctioned medical use. These opioids are sold under different brand names such as Percocet, Oxycontin, Vicodin, and Palladone. Why do people take opioids? Many prescription opioids block the pain signals between the brain and the body. And these drugs are typically used to treat severe pain. Opioids, in addition to controlling pain, can make some people feel happy, relaxed, or “high.” Doctors often prescribe opioids for chronic headaches and backaches, especially for patients experiencing severe pain from cancer and those recovering from surgery. Also, opioids are recommended for adults who have been hurt playing sports or who have been seriously injured in auto accidents, falls, or other incidents. How do opioids work? Opioids attach to nerve receptors (proteins) on nerve cells in the brain, gut, spinal cord, and other body parts. The drugs block pain messages sent from the body through the spinal cord to the brain. When these opioids travel through your blood and to receptors in your brain cells, the cells release signals that muffle pain perceptions and boost feelings of pleasure. Opioids can be addictive, especially when they're used to manage pain over a long period of time. How are opioids taken? Many opioids are taken as pills, while some are taken through injection or through an IV. Other ways you can get opioids include: Nasal spray Skin patch Shot into a muscle Implanted pump Shot into the space around the spinal cord Suppository However, how you take them depends on the situation you're trying to tackle. Most times, opioids are used under close supervision by a physician. Medical Doctors (Physician anesthesiologists) who specialize in pain management have good training in prescribing opioid and non-opioid medications. The effects of opioids can be either short-lasting or long-lasting. The short-lasting opioids often work alone or in combination with other types of pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. You can start feeling relief from 15 to 30 minutes, and the effect should last for 3 to 4 hours. You may get the much-needed relief from opioids, but the risks and side effects of these drugs are of major concern. At low doses, opioids may cause you to feel sleepy, and at higher doses, you may suffer reduced heart function and slow breathing, which can lead to death. Other negative effects include addition, loss of consciousness, and more. However, you can achieve this pain relief using natural holistic measures. Chiropractic is a proven method to manage pain in a safe and effective way. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more about how chiropractic care is a safer treatment option for pain and other health ailments.

Lowering Stress for Optimum Health Part 3- Sympathetic Vs Parasympathetic Nervous Systems - What they control and what they are

Lowering Stress for Optimum Health Part 3: Sympathetic Vs. Parasympathetic Nervous Systems - What they are and what they control - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor The central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and all nerves within our body. This system is split into different parts including the autonomic nervous system. While the somatic nervous system controls the movement of our skeletal muscles, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary body functions. The autonomic nervous system is split into the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). These two systems control the same general functions in the same parts of the body but produce opposing effects. More so, both the SNS and PNS produce involuntary responses to various stimuli. However, you need to understand the function of each of these systems and what they need to function properly. At our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, we always love to educate our patients on what to do to keep their autonomic nervous system working optimally. Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) This system controls the fight or flight response to external stimuli. When you're faced with a perceived threat, whether emotional or physical, your sympathetic nervous system kicks into gear and bring about involuntary and automatic responses, such as: Elevated blood pressure Increased heart rate elevated respiratory rate contraction of muscles heightened awareness Release of adrenaline from the adrenal gland Profuse sweating Conversion of glycogen to glucose Decrease in urinary output Most times, the sympathetic nervous system shuts down many responses of the parasympathetic in order to gain more energy for the fight or flight response. Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) This system also affects the same body functions as the SNS, but in a different way. Basically, the PNS works to slow down certain responses to bring the body to a state of calm and rest. The PNS basically controls homeostasis or maintains a healthy balance across all of the body's systems. The Parasympathetic responses include: Decrease in heart rate Increase of digestive enzymes Constriction of bronchial tubes in lungs Relaxation of muscles Sphincter relaxation Increase in urinary output Saliva production The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system. It is heavily involved in digestion, blood pressure, heart, rate, and calmness. The vagus nerve also helps with urination, defecation, and sexual arousal. How the SNS and PNS works The SNS is a faster system as it moves along short pathways. Once it is activated, it stimulates the adrenal medulla to release hormones and chemical receptors into the bloodstream. This activates the target glands and muscles. And once the perceived danger is no more, the PNS takes over to counterbalance the effect of the SNS's response. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are vital for our health and survival. However, there must always be a balance between these two for our bodies to stay healthy and perform optimally. A healthy balance of these two parts of your autonomic nervous system comes when your nerves and spinal cord are functioning properly. At our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, Dr. Jason Jones help in giving the best chiropractic care to remove any nerve interference that could disrupt the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. This allows your body to respond appropriately to any kind of stimuli and maintain proper balance to achieve optimal health.

Stay Strong, Stay Healthy at any Age Part 4: How your brain/nervous system CONTROLS your immune system - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Do you always suffer flu or cold? Is it getting on your nerves? Do you sometimes feel that's normal? Well, the truth is that the fact that some people get sick doesn't mean everybody has to. Your ability to fight infection or ward of disease is strongly dependent on an important system in the body called the “Immune System.” The interesting part is that your brain/nervous system has a huge control over your immune system. Over the past 20 years, there has been much research conducted on the human immune system, and findings have clearly shown that there is a correlation between your nervous system and your state of immunity. Little wonder, many of our patients at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, who come in with sore throats, colds, stomach viruses and sinus congestion often report an accelerated recovery after our chiropractic adjustment. Many of them now notice that when their co-workers are all catching flu and cold, they are not. Others notice that they are get sick less frequently than before. What does this mean? It means that chiropractic correction of the subluxation has a strong effect in improving immune responses of the body. This chiropractic adjustment actually reduces nerve interference. So, let's discuss better the correlation between your nervous system and immune system. How your brain controls your immune system The concept that the brain controls the activity in the immune system is derived from the theory of stress. Research on the inter-relationships between the central nervous system and the brain has shown that there's a vast network of communication pathways between the two systems. The nervous system and immune system interact with each other more than you think. Both systems release messenger molecules that communicates with each other and other body organs. The nervous system collects information from the entire body and sends it to the brain and this influences receptors in the immune system. The brain uses the nerve cells to communicate with the immune system and trigger an immune response. The immune system can also send a trigger to the brain to notify if of any foreign, unwanted body. The brain then tells the nervous system to react appropriately. Many studies have shown increase levels of antibodies in the immune system after Chiropractic adjustments. And that's where a chiropractic care comes to play. Little wonder our patients who were sick with sore throat, colds, and sinus congestion always report accelerated recoveries after some chiropractic adjustments. To keep it simple, the goal of a chiropractic care is to remove every interference in the nervous system- including stress- that may compromise your immune system. This helps to improve your natural day-to-day function. This is possible because the brain and nervous system controls the functions of your entire body, including your nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress on the nervous system, improving its communication with the rest of the body. You can visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more about the influence of the brain/nervous system on your immune system. You can also consult us for the best chiropractic adjustment to improve the state of your nervous system for overall wellbeing.

Why Your Sugar Consumption Should NOT EXCEED 10-20% of Your Carbohydrate Calories

Why your sugar consumption should not exceed 10% of your carbohydrate calories- Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Sugars are commonly seen in many natural foods and drinks as simple carbohydrates. Healthful foods such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products contain sugars, which gives them a sweeter taste. It is important for you to include these foods in your diet as they also offer a range of nutrients that gives valuable health benefits. However, a lot of food manufacturers tend to add sugar to foods such as cereals, cake, and some beverages and drinks. These added sugars or free sugars are implicated in many health problems, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Unlike the natural sugars found in foods and drinks, added sugars offer no nutritional value. Besides, the body digests them very quickly and they are a poor energy source. Carbohydrates are the preferred energy source for the body, and roughly half of your daily calorie intake should come from these carbohydrate-rich foods. How much sugar is too much? The Dietary Guideline for Americans advises that added sugars should make no more than 10% of people's daily calorie intake. So, if you have a daily intake of 2,000 calories, your added sugar should not be more than 200 calories. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) advises in 2015 that people take half this amount, with no more than 5% of daily calories coming from added sugar. So, diets of 2,000 calories per day should include no more than 100 calories from added sugar. This is equivalent to 6 tsp., at the most. What are the effects of too much sugar? When you consume excess added sugar (beyond the recommended amount stated above), you're at risk of the following: Weight gain and obesity A diet high in added sugar has been shown by studies to cause leptin resistance. Leptin is a hormone produced by the body to signal to the brain that you've had enough food. So, when you eat too much sugar, it may interfere with your brain's ability to know when you've had enough food. This puts you at risk of weight gain and obesity. Tooth decay The bacteria that live in the mouth digest sugar and creates an acidic waste product. This acid erodes your teeth' enamel, leading to cavities or holes in your teeth. When you eat sugary foods frequently, especially in between mealtimes, in sweetened drinks, or as snacks, you are likely to have tooth decay. Aging skin When you consume too much added sugar in your diet, it can lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are linked to faster visible aging. More so, excess sugar affects the formation of collagen in the skin. Acne Some studies have shown that people who consume lots of added sugars in foods and drinks are more likely to develop moderate to severe acne. Some other study suggests that when you lower your sugar consumption, it may decrease insulin-like growth factors, sebum, and androgens, all of which contributes to acne formation. Other effects of too much sugar include: Diabetes High blood pressure Cancer Looking at all these effects of consuming excess sugar, it is important that you limit your added sugar content in your diets below 10%. You should carefully check food labels and look out for sugar forms like brown, sucrose, maltose, corn syrup, molasses, corn sweetener, malt syrup, etc. Although some of these sugars are not harmful in small amounts, you might consume too much of them without realizing it. A simple piece of advice for you is to avoid processed foods containing excess added sugar. Cook whole foods and get your calories from healthful foods containing sugar such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, etc. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC to learn more about carbohydrates to add to your diet to get your daily calorie needs.

Erectile Dysfunction: Common Causes and natural solutions – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the common health conditions recorded among men. In fact, According to the Urology Care Foundation, it is estimated that 30 million Americans experience ED. Many patients in our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC have reported how erectile dysfunction has affected their sex drive, and how it resulted in depression and low self-esteem. So it is important that we discuss this problem, which is common in men. What is Erectile Dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction (ED) is simply the inability to get or maintain a firm enough erection to have sexual intercourse. This condition is sometimes referred to as “impotence.” Many men experience ED during times of stress, but when it becomes frequent, it is a clear sign of health problems that need medical attention. An erection is normally achieved when there is an increased blood flow into your penis. And this happens when a man is sexually excited. The muscles in your penis relax and blood flows into your penile arteries, resulting in the filling of two chambers inside the penis. This makes the penis grow hard. What are the causes of Erectile Dysfunction? There are many possible causes of ED, including physical and emotional conditions. However, the common causes of ED include: Cardiovascular disease High blood pressure Diabetes Obesity Kidney disease Anxiety Stress Depression High cholesterol Low testosterone levels Increased age Sleep disorders Certain prescription medication Prescription Medications that Can Cause Erectile Dysfunction Numerous prescription medications have been implicated in erectile dysfunction. That's why it is important to always consult your doctor before changing or stopping your medications. Some medications that can cause erectile dysfunction include: Heart medications such as digoxin Drugs that work on the central nervous system, including amphetamines and sleeping pills Drugs to control high blood pressure Anxiety treatments Some diuretics Prostate treatment drugs Opioid painkillers Antidepressants, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Tricyclic antidepressants, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) Anticholinergic drugs Some cancer drugs The peptic ulcer medication cimetidine Hormone drugs Natural Solutions for Erectile dysfunction There are many treatment options available for ED such as drugs, surgical treatments, and more. But the natural solutions are advisable to avoid unpleasant side effects. Here are some natural solutions that have been used to treat erectile dysfunction: Exercises Certain exercises have been shown to help with erectile dysfunction. You can try the following: Kegel exercises: These exercises involve simple movements that help to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Start by stopping your pee midstream to identify your pelvic floor muscles. Contract these muscles for at least 3 seconds, and then release them. You can do this exercise three times a day, and 10 to 20 times in a row. Aerobic exercise: You can try moderate to vigorous exercises like swimming and running. These exercises increase your blood flow and improve your overall health Yoga: This helps to relax your mind and ease every form of stress and anxiety. Eating a healthy diet You can prevent or treat erectile dysfunction by eating a healthy diet. This helps to maintain your blood vessels and increase your blood flow. Eat whole grains, fruits, and vegetables Limit your consumption of processed sugars, full-fat dairy, and red meats Limit or quit alcohol consumption Natural herbs You can improve erectile dysfunction by using certain herbs, including: Asparagus racemosus Ginseng, such as Korean ginseng Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Yohimbe Horny goat weed Acupuncture Acupuncture is a traditional treatment measure that involves inserting needed at specific parts of the skin. This method works for erectile dysfunction through nerve stimulation, and it has an effect on the release of neurotransmitters. Prostatic massage A prostatic massage is an effective form of massage used for ED. During this method, the practitioner massages the tissue in and around the groin to promote the flow of blood to your penis. You may need to undergo this massage several times a week, but it all depends on your symptoms. In conclusion, erectile dysfunction is one of the most common health conditions in men. It is sometimes called impotence and its risk increases with age. There are several factors that can cause ED, including prescription medications. This condition can lead to depression, lower, sex drive, low self-esteem, and stress. Several treatment measures are available for ED, including medical interventions, lifestyle changes, and natural remedies. We however recommend the natural solutions listed above. However, you should consult your doctor before using any of those methods.

Common Blood Tests for Inflammation

Common blood tests for inflammation – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City, NC, Chiropractor At our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, we see a lot of people come in every week with chronic inflammation. Most cases of internal inflammation are often associated with a high level of stress, lack of proper nutrition, and chronic diseases such as heart disease, digestive problems, and cancer. Inflammation has also been implicated in many autoimmune diseases. In this case, the immune system triggers an inflammatory response that attacks the body like it’s an enemy. So the question, how do you detect these silent forms of inflammations in specific targets as well as monitor progress? The best approach has been the use of blood tests. Here are some blood tests or markers used to determine or detect chronic forms of inflammation: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) HbA1C is a blood test that measures the amount of glucose in the blood over the past three months. It is a major test to look at a person’s inflammation. The result is often recorded in a percentage, and higher percentages signify higher blood glucose levels. The Hemoglobin A1C is used often used on diabetic persons to detect diabetes and monitor blood sugar levels. A high HbA1C means there is a high blood glucose level and this can cause damage to body organs. Fasting Insulin Fasting insulin is another blood test for inflammation. The insulin hormone is produced in the pancreas, and it helps the cells get glucose from the blood. These hormones are often released when your body detects a rise in blood sugar. The body needs constant circulation of insulin, but when it becomes too high or too low, it becomes a problem. An excess amount of insulin in the body can be a sign of insulin resistance, which means your body does not respond well to insulin, thereby making more, and that increases the risk of inflammation in the body. Serum Ferritin Serum ferritin is a blood test that measures the amount of ferritin (blood cell protein that stores iron) in the body. When you have a low level of ferritin, it indicates that are deficient in iron, and that causes anemia. A high level of ferritin, on the other hand, can indicate inflammation, liver disease, autoimmune disease, chronic infection, and some type of cancer. Serum ferritin decreases or increases based on inflammation, making it a useful marker for detecting chronic diseases. C-reactive Protein (CRP) C-reactive protein is a protein in the liver that increases when inflammation increases and decreases when inflammation decreases. This test is useful in diagnosing and monitoring chronic inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diseases, and psychological issues. Red blood cell width (RDW) This test measures the differences in the size of the red blood cells. And it is an excellent way to detect inflammation and oxidative stress. The red blood cells usually start out large, but they decrease in width as they mature. So how large the cells are will determine how much nutrient and oxygen they can deliver. Basically, an elevated RDW is linked with many diseases including macrocytic anemia and cardiovascular events. So there you have it, the best blood tests for inflammation. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City NC, to learn more about inflammation and the blood tests that help to detect what is happening in your body.

Why are healthy blood sugar levels so important? – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor You might have asked questions like “why do I need to have a healthy blood sugar level?” Well, that’s a smart question for your health’s sake. Keeping your blood sugar levels balanced is important to manage your weight, prevent long-term health problems, and feel good altogether. However, a lot of people suffer from health problems related to imbalances in blood sugar levels. And this is a growing concern that is now reaching epidemic proportion. According to the American Diabetes Association, over 100 million people in the United States are suffering from health problems caused by blood sugar imbalances, and unfortunately, over 80% of these people are not aware of their condition. The health costs of these conditions are estimated to be over $250 billion every year, both in medical costs and the reduction in productivity. In fact, blood sugar imbalances is one of the biggest issue facing the world today. Why is it important to maintain a normal blood sugar level? Blood sugar is your body’s primary source of energy, and it is often absorbed in form of glucose after digestion. Almost every cell in the body absorb glucose and they combine it with oxygen in the powerhouse of the cell called mitochondria to produce a molecule called ATP- Adenosine triphosphate. When you eat carbohydrates, glucose is released into your bloodstream, and insulin is produced to enhance the absorption of glucose into your body cells as a source of fuel. However, when your diet is high in carbs over a long enough period of time causes your insulin to become insensitive, and glucose is not properly absorbed, leaving a large proportion circulating in your bloodstream- a condition known as “hyperglycemia.” Hyperglycemia can lead to a lot of health issues if not properly controlled. It can make you feel hungry at first because your cells aren’t getting enough glucose. This feeling of hunger makes you eat more, and since your insulin is not working as it should, a significant proportion of the glucose is stored as fat in the liver. Apart from hunger, you become thirsty as your kidney attempts to flush excess sugar out of your bloodstream, absorbing more body fluids with it. This resulting dehydration can affect your blood pressure, concentration, and leave you feeling lethargic. More so, when your mitochondria are not getting enough glucose, they cannot produce glucose needed to power the body cells. This makes the mitochondria unable to neutralize free radicals that they produce for ATP production. The end result is “oxidative stress,” where your mitochondria and other cellular components stand the risk of damage. This oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia can contribute to the risk of serious cardiovascular conditions, metabolic problems, and neurological disorders. However, the good news is that you can normalize your blood sugar levels by increasing your activity levels and modifying your diet. For people without diabetes, maintaining a healthy blood sugar level offers the following benefits: Reduces the risk of insulin resistance Helps achieve weight loss goals Reduces inflammation and stress hormones For people living with diabetes, maintaining a healthy blood sugar level reduces the risk of complication of diabetes, including: Heart attack and stroke Nerve damage and neuropathy Eye damage Kidney disease sexual dysfunction That said, for you to maintain an optimal glucose level, you need to carefully monitor it. You can use a blood glucose testing kit or use a wearable device that tests and displays your blood sugar level. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more reasons why it is important to maintain a healthy blood sugar level.

We are on week 5 of the 5 things you need to know before starting a practice podcast series. If you’re new to the podcast or haven’t listened in a while then you can catch up by listening to episode #158, week 1 of this series, we talked all about mindset, and why identifying your personal challenges now will help you as you transition into practice. Week 2, episode #160, we talked all about the business plan and why having a blueprint for your success is necessary. Week 3, episode #162, we talked about your office overhead. Week 4, episode #165, we reviewed all of the office systems you'll need to think through before opening. This week I am diving a bit deeper on something we talk about a lot on the podcast and that’s your practice marketing! If you haven’t already downloaded the ebook that goes along with this series, visit lifestylepracticebuilders.com/ebook and download it today. In the ebook, there are action steps for each of the 5 things we’re talking about in this series, and it’s a great way to get started as you pursue your dream of opening your own chiropractic practice. And if you’re a nerd like me then it’s nice to have a workbook to print off and take notes on while you listen to the podcast. The landscape of marketing has changed quite a bit in the last year. Some chiropractors were forced to shut down, others had many of their patients drop off their schedules, and some of you may have been trying to get started this year, after graduation. We might all be in different places in practice, but we all need to be marketing differently than we were a year ago! And marketing has completely changed since we opened our office almost 12 years ago. So let’s dig in! Marketing is how your patients will find you and part of why they’ll become your biggest fan. Marketing includes your branding, the services you offer, the promotions you do, the products you sell, your pricing, the blogs you write, how you advertise, and the way you network and use social media -- all of this is marketing. There are a lot of options out there, so it can be difficult to know what to do. Most of the time patients will need to hear your message several times, before they come in, so you’ll need to make sure your brand is consistent, concentrated, and well thought out. Your practice cannot survive without patients, which makes marketing extremely important to the health of your practice success. The cool thing about how things have changed in 2020, is that it’s made it easier for you to start marketing now, even before you graduate, we’ll get to that in a bit! Taking the leap from student or Chiropractic Associate to small business owner is HUGE! There’s so much to know and it gets overwhelming thinking about all the steps involved, in order to create a business, find a location, and get open. So many unknowns, so many steps to truly fulfilling your dreams of owning and operating your own clinic. That’s why we created this podcast series for you. We were once in your shoes and we know what it’s like to feel lost in a sea full of information. We want to help by clarifying some of the key concepts you’ll need to understand before making that transition. The more you know, the better off you’ll be in practice. Fully understanding these elements and how they affect you and your future practice will lead to your future success! So let’s add some success tools to your toolbox! Want help with this process? Want like minded friends pursuing extraordinary goals? Join us in our facebook group. Follow us on Instagram @lifestylepractice. We have helped hundreds of students and chiropractors find start and build their own practices. We’d love to help you, wherever you’re at, to create and fulfill your own vision.

And if you’re a nerd like me then it’s nice to have a workbook to print off and take notes on while you listen to the podcast. Systems are so important, yet you’ll learn practically nothing about them in school. If you want to learn about systems then the best thing you can do is work in an office, shadow in an office, or get coaching from someone who’s got their systems down. I worked in practices several years before I graduated, so I saw a lot that worked well and a lot I knew I’d never use in my own practice. Sometimes learning about what you don’t want is just as important as what you need. As a CA I could pick up on what the patients liked, what they didn’t like, and what really worked. The systems you set-up in your practice will determine how you run every aspect of your small business. Once you get to a certain point, you’ll document your systems in your Policies & Procedures Manual in order to train employees so your practice runs efficiently and as you intend it to. Having good office systems in place will also determine whether patients find your practice, schedule a visit, and whether or not they’ll finish their care plans. If you have poor systems, then you risk not being found by patients, or having them bail after the first visit to find a new chiropractor, or give up on chiropractic as a whole.

10 Natural Foods that Support Brain Regeneration – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Due to the nature of our industrial fast-paced society everyone stands at the risk of experiencing brain degeneration as we grow old. But luckily, there are lots of natural foods that support brain health and help to strengthen brainpower. You should be excited about this because the food choices you make are one variable you can easily control. You can support your brain regeneration and functionality by eating a brain-boosting diet. Here are a few natural foods that support brain regeneration boost memory powers: Nuts Nuts like almonds and walnuts are rich omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, which helps the brain build new neurons and support memory building capacity. More so, nuts contain vitamin E- an antioxidant that helps protect brain cells from oxidative stress resulting from the actions of free radicals. A 2014 study shows that a high intake of nuts was linked to better brain function among elderly people. This food has also been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Oily fish Fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, and sardines are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, and this helps to build membranes around the brain cells. They, therefore, help to improve the structure of neurons thereby boosting brain regeneration. Studies have shown that people that consume high levels of omega-3s have a higher flow of blood in their brains. Besides, there are many links between omega-3 levels and improved cognition, or better-thinking abilities. Berries Berries are high in flavonoid antioxidants, including anthocyanin, catechin which makes them contribute many positive effects on the brain, including: Increasing neuroplasticity, which helps the neurons form new connections in the brain, thereby boosting learning and memory Delaying age-related neurodegenerative diseases Reducing inflammation Some good berries that contain a high amount of antioxidant that helps brain health include strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, and mulberries. Dark chocolate You can also support brain regeneration by eating dark chocolates as they contain cocoa, which is rich in flavonoids. These antioxidants help to clear oxidative stress which is linked to brain diseases and age-related cognitive decline. Studies show that the flavonoids in cocoa encourage the growth of neurons and blood vessels in the part of the brain involved in learning and memory. They also stimulate more blood flow in the brain. Other nutrient-rich foods that boost brain power and support brain regeneration include: Olive oil Coconut oil Eggs Avocadoes Broccoli Kimchi These foods above can help boost your memory and concentration, as well as reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC to get even more natural food options that can help support your brain health and boost regeneration.

What causes the brain to degenerate? – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Imagine returning from work and being unable to remember your wife’s name. You wonder how many kids you have, and your dog looks so strange in your eyes. Sounds strange right? Yea, that’s what could happen when your brain begins to degenerate. What is Neurodegeneration? The word “neurodegenerative” is derived from two words “neuro”- brain, and “degenerative,”- breaking down. So, neurodegeneration is the progressive breakdown (both structure and function) of neurons present in the brain. Basically, the brain is made up of about 86 million nerve cells, and these nerves connect with the brain in more than a trillion connections throughout the body. These connections make you who you are, and it determines functions like, remembering things you read, thinking about your family plans, moving around, and many more. So, when there is a miscommunication between brain cells, it could cause the brain to degenerate which can lead to losing intellectual function as their brain gradually deteriorates, and the effect is evident in memory, speech, and spatial skills. Like the example given above, when your home starts to feel like someone else’s place, it could be a sign of degenerative brain disease. The bad part is that this disease worsens over time as the neurons in the brain die. Some common examples of neurodegenerative diseases that affect different parts of the brain include: Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease Alzheimer’s disease Frontotemporal dementia Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Spinal muscular atrophy Lewy body disease Parkinson’s disease causes impairment in movement. Alzheimer’s disease gradually causes memory loss in victims. Huntington’s disease deprives a sufferer of the ability to talk, walk, reason, and think, and this starts as early as in their mid-30s. Frontotemporal dementia leads to bewildering changes in a person’s behavior and thoughts. In all of these diseases, the symptoms may start and last for as long as ten or twenty years until death. And many sufferers live a life of dependence, especially in their final years. What causes the brain to degenerate? Most of the neurodegenerative diseases are genetic, but sometimes, they can be as a result of a medical condition like: Stroke Alcoholism A tumor Other causes include: Chemicals Toxins viruses The degenerative brain disease can be life-threatening, depending on the type. Symptoms of brain degeneration There are many symptoms of brain degeneration, depending on the type of disease and what part of the brain is affected. However, some common symptoms include: Memory loss Confusion Difficulty in moving and swallowing Hallucination Difficulty regulating emotions Forgetfulness A loss of inhibition Anxiety These symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases tend to become worse as the disease progresses, and there is a chance of new symptoms arising with time. Treatment of brain degeneration Most of these diseases do not have a cure. The treatment measures available are targeted to help improve symptoms, increase mobility, and relieve pain. However, you can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC to get advice on some natural measures to improve the symptoms of degenerative brain disease.

4 Supplements to Sleep Better and Fight Insomnia

4 Supplements that Support Sleep – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor You need quality sleep to maintain good health. Apart from the feeling of being well-rested, sleep consolidates your memory, facilitates the detoxification of your brain, and improves your athletic performance. More so, adequate sleep puts you in a better mood and even helps you lose weight. Unfortunately, many of us struggle to get a good amount of sleep due to a lot of physical and psychological factors, including: Anxiety Stress Depression Poor lifestyle choices Underlying medical conditions Pain That’s why at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City NC, we encourage adequate sleep. One of the reasons we do is because sleep deprivation can increase the risk of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, stroke, heart disease, and depression. The good news is that if you’re sleeping poorly or you find it hard to fall asleep, you can enlist the help of a variety of natural sleep supplements including: Melatonin- Melatonin is a hormone that is involved in key functions like sleep regulation. It is naturally produced in the body and it regulates your body rhythm based on the light around you. So, when it is getting dark, the hormone naturally lets your body express night-time behavior. However, if you are not getting enough sleep at night or sunlight during the day, you may need an extra boost of melatonin. And the melatonin supplements are effective for helping catch some zzz’s. Studies even show that it not only helps you fall asleep but also enhances the quality of your sleep. Chamomile tea- Chamomile is an herb and not actually a vitamin or mineral. A lot of people diffuse it as an essential oil and into the diet via chamomile tea. This acts as a relaxant that calms your nerves, relieves anxiety, and improves your overall wellbeing. Valerian root- You might not have heard about the valerian root and its use to fight sleep disorders since ancient times. This root has been effective in treating anxiety for hundreds of years. It is one of the natural solutions you can use when you struggling to fall asleep. Besides, it is added to some medicines for sleep disorders, and you can take a valerian root tablet to calm your body and put your mind at rest. Kava plant- This plant is part of the pepper family, and it has been shown for long to be effective in relieving anxiety. Studies have shown that short-term use of Kava is okay to treat moderate anxiety. More so, much research has proven that both kava and valerian root works to improve sleep in people with stress-related insomnia. However, you need to avoid using kava if you take alcohol or drugs that are metabolized in the liver. Other supplements that support sleep include vitamins and minerals such as: Iron, Magnesium, B vitamins, Vitamin D, Calcium and Potassium, Vitamin E These minerals and nutrients are also great to support sound sleep. However, you need to ensure you keep a healthy diet and lifestyle to get a good night’s sleep. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City NC, to get recommendations of some natural supplements and measures to keep your sleep cycle in good shape.

The best ways to maintain or boost your energy levels is to eat a well, balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. But these are not always easy to achieve as you would need to balance with the demands of life. This is one of the reasons why you may not accomplish everything on your task list, and you may sometimes find it hard to even get out of bed. But luckily for you, there are some supplements and herbs that help to increase energy. At our chiropractic office, Elizabeth City, NC, we encourage some of these supplements and herbs to people who need support in their energy levels throughout the day. So if you want to perk yourself up to achieve more daily, you can try out these supplements and herbs below: Ashwagandha - Ashwagandha is one of the most useful medicinal herbs in Indian for over 3,000 years. This herb helps to enhance the body’s resilience to mental and physical stress, thereby boosting energy levels. More so, numerous studies have shown that the ashwagandha root is effective in reducing anxiety and stress. It also helps to reduce the fatigue associated with exercising. Maca - Maca is rich in nutrients that provide the body with energy-boosting benefits. It also helps you adapt to various environmental stressors, as well as improve your mood and endurance. Also, the maca is safe with no adverse reactions or side effects. However, it is best to consume the gelatinized maca over the raw maca, due to the chemical substance called goitrogens, which is present in this herb and can affect your iodine levels. CoQ10 - CoQ10 stands for coenzyme Q10 and it is found naturally in the body as ubiquinol and ubiquinone. The body cells use CoQ10 to produce energy and prevent oxidative damage. However, when the level of CoQ10 declines in your body due to age, heart failure, type-2 diabetes, or certain cancers, your cells may not produce the needed amount of energy anymore, and this may lead to fatigue. Hence, taking CoQ10 supplements is an effective solution to help increase your energy level and reduce fatigue. Vitamin B12 - Vitamin B12 is essential for transforming food into energy that the cells can use. It also helps to keep your blood cells and nerves healthy to prevent a type of anemia that can make you weak. You can get vitamin B12 naturally from animal proteins like fish, meat, and dairy products. However, you may be at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency if your body is not getting enough or is unable to absorb the needed amount. This is common among vegans, older adults, and those with G1 disorders. But, you can boost your energy levels by taking vitamin B12 supplements. This helps to ward off fatigue and weakness. Creatine - Creatine is a donor of phosphate to Adenosine diphosphate to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - which is the energy currency of life. You can include creatine supplements in your diet to when your body needs a quick source of energy for high-intensity, short-duration exercises like jumping, football, short sprints, or weightlifting. When you supplement with creatine, you get enough energy to train harder and longer. Other supplements and herbs that help to increase energy levels include: Beetroot powder Iron Rhodiola Rosea Citrulline Tyrosine Melatonin Holy Basil Ginseng You can experience reduced energy levels as you go about your daily routines and eating good and exercising may not be enough to keep your energy fired-up. Hence, you can take the supplements and herbs listed above to enjoy increased energy levels and improve your overall wellbeing. However, it is important to note that things like body pain, headache, and stiffness can zap you of the available energy needed by your body to function optimally. But you can take care of that by getting the best chiropractic care. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office, Elizabeth City, NC to get the best care to eliminate these troubles to keep your energy levels up as you enjoy your choice of supplement and herbs.

7 Best Foods for More Energy!

What you consume when you feel tired or run-down matters a lot for your overall health. You don’t have to go for unhealthy treats like sugary drinks, coffee, or energy bars that offer only a brief boost in energy levels. Instead, you can enjoy some natural healthy foods that contain nutrients that provide more stable energy and improve your productivity throughout the day. The beauty is that you don’t have to deal with preservatives or other chemical substances that are harmful to your health. That’s more reason we always advise people at our Chiropractic office, Elizabeth City, NC, to stick to natural food sources to get the best boost in energy levels. Below is a list of the TOP 7 foods that are best for energy: Banana: Banana is a good source of carbohydrate, vitamin B6, and potassium, all of which helps to boost energy levels. And when it comes to easy absorption, bananas are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream far more than any other food. This is a healthy option for you if you need an immediate energy boost. Avocados: Avocadoes are rich in good fats, vitamin C, fiber, and other nutrients that help to sustain energy levels throughout the day. Besides, they are loaded with good fats that increase energy levels and supply the body with fat-soluble nutrients. Fatty fish: Fatty fish like tuna and salmon are rich in fatty acids, protein, and B vitamins, making them a great option for an energy boost. A serving of tuna or salmon usually supplies the recommended daily amount of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin 12. This helps greatly to reduce inflammation, which is associated with fatigue. Eggs: Eggs are not only satisfying, but they also provide the body with enough energy. This food is packed with protein that can give you a steady supply of energy, and this is major because eggs do not cause spikes in insulin or blood sugar when it is digested. The leucine and B vitamins contained in eggs also help to stimulate the release of energy. Leafy green vegetables: Dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in nutrients and contain filling proteins and antioxidants, and they help supply the body with energy. These leafy greens are high in calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A, C, E, K, and iron. The iron content helps to enhance the production of red blood cells for increased delivery of oxygen to your cells, and this helps to fight fatigue and boost energy. Beets: Beets contain nitrates and antioxidants which help to improve blood flow. More so, beets contain fiber, carbs, and sugar for a sustained energy boost. You can consume beets as cooked beets, dried beetroot chips, or as a bottle of beetroot juice. Sweet potato: Apart from the delicious taste, sweet potatoes are a rich source of energy for anyone looking for an extra boost. Your body digests the fiber content and complex carbs slowly, thereby releasing a steady supply of energy. The manganese content also helps to breakdown nutrients to produce energy. #8: BONUS - Water: Water represents over 60% of a human’s body weight, and it is vital for many cellular functions, including the production of energy. When you don’t drink enough water, you become dehydrated, and this slows down bodily function and leaves you weak and exhausted. But when you drink enough water, you get a boost of energy that you need to fight off feelings of fatigue. Hence, try to drink water regularly throughout the day. Other healthy and natural foods that are best for energy include: Apples Goji berries Yogurt Yerba mate Strawberries Beef liver These natural foods above are great for increased energy levels. However, you need to have a functional digestive system to get a quick release of energy from these foods. One way to achieve this is to keep your nervous system in good shape, and Chiropractic care can help you achieve that. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office, Elizabeth City, NC today to get the best care without any hassle.

Walking posture: Avoid pushing your head forward Keep your shoulder aligned with other parts of your body Keep your eyes looking straight ahead and your head up Sleeping posture: Use a relatively firm mattress for proper back support (although individual preference exists) Use a pillow to get the right alignment and support for your head, neck and shoulder Sleeping on your back or on one side is healthier for your spine than sleeping on your stomach. Some do better by placing a relatively flat pillow in between their legs when sleeping on their side. Standing posture: Keep your feet slightly apart Allow your weight to rest mostly on the balls of your feet, not on your heels. Stand straight and tall Stand and walk with your feet pointing straight ahead. Tuck your chin in to keep your head level Ensure your head is not pushed out forward but resting squared on top of the spine Allow your arms to hang naturally down the sides of your body.

How to Improve your Posture for a Healthy Spine- Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Improving your posture is more than just standing upright; it is about having proper spinal alignment to make sure you hold your body the right way. This helps to prevent pain, injuries, and other health problems in the long run. When you keep a good posture, it means you are mobile and loose, with your: Head up looking straight ahead Back straight Knee straight Tummy in Weight distributed evenly on your two feet However, a poor posture on the other hand can: Cause your spine to wear away, making it more fragile Decrease your mobility Misalign your musculoskeletal system Make it harder to breath Cause shoulder, neck, and back pain Affect how well your joints move Increase your risk of falling Affect your balance and reaction time So at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, we always help our patients improve on their posture to better the health of their spine and wellbeing generally. How to improve your posture Here are some general tips to help you keep the right posture for a healthy spine: Be very mindful of the body position you keep during everyday activities like washing dishes, watching television, walking, or chatting. Try to stay active or exercise more often. Some simple exercises to help you improve your posture include yoga, tai chi, etc. You can also include exercises that work on your core, pelvis, and back. Avoid wearing heels all the time. You stand the risk of being thrown off balance and learning to walk differently. More so, wearing heels put more stress on your muscles and distort your posture. Maintain a healthy weight. Getting extra weight can contribute to lower back pain and cause a problem for your pelvis and spine. Make sure you keep a comfortable height for you when making dinner, eating a meal or sitting in front of a computer. How to improve your posture at home Don’t sit too long on a very soft chair or sofa. Avoid crossing your legs when seated as it can cause changes in the alignment of your spine over time. Make sure you distribute the weight of heavy items you’re carrying on either side of your body. Lie on a supportive mattress when sleeping and use a single firm support pillow to prevent neck pain. How to improve your posture at work Keep your back straight when seated in front of a computer. And try to keep your feet flat on the ground with your knees below your hips. If your job involves lifting, ask the employer for the right training to carry heavy and bulky objects. Get a headset for your phone calls if you are going to spend long hours talking. This helps to reduce the risk of phone strain. Your posture is a great determinant of the health of your spine. You can follow the measures highlighted above to keep a good posture.

Is There a Perfect Posture? - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC Chiropractor Your structure goes a long way in determining function, and it is always advisable to take your posture and the orientation of your spine seriously. If your spine is not aligned properly, it affects your posture, and when your posture is bad, your body suffers the risk of asymmetrical gravitational loading on the spine. This leads to accelerated damage and degeneration. So, it is important to watch your posture and orientation of your spine. However, a lot of people often wonder and ask, “Is there any such thing as a perfect posture” Well, the simple answer is “YES”. That’s why we offer corrective Chiropractic care at our Chiropractic office, Elizabeth City, NC. It is common to see many people with poor posture today, and many people believe it is normal and expected along the path of the aging process. But that’s not true; yea, it is not normal. There is something called a “Proper Posture,” and apart from the benefit of better health and function, studies have shown that it can help to improve looks and success in life. Can you have proper posture? The simple answer again is “YES” and for you to know more about the good posture, I will show you some lessons from the past. Genetics shows that humans hardly change at all. In fact, we only have about 0.002% changes in the human genome for the past 40,000 years. Even though our genome and bodies have hardly changed, our social and cultural expectations have transformed us greatly. So now it is common to see an increased level of: Social competition at work Stress Changes in food, relationship, values, etc. More so, if you look at our ancestors, they were always on the move, fishing, farming, hunting, and exploring. They needed to stay active to survive. But that’s not the case with our modern way of life. Most people today are restricted (or consciously decide) to stay in front of a computer, TV or smartphone for a long period. All these factors results in bad posture. The main promoters of degeneration are sedentary life and immobilization. And current findings show that the average American spends about 30 years of their life in a state of rest (sitting). But as humans, we are designed for movement. Our sedentary lifestyle is causing an increase in spinal misalignment and postural distortion. This results in hyper kyphosis (hunching back and slouching) and forward head postures, which tends towards greater mortality. So you can decide to shun a sedentary lifestyle today and learn how to train yourself to keep a perfect posture. You may say “my work requires me to be in front of a computer for hours,” But I will advise you to take short breaks in between your work schedule and try some exercises in your leisure time. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office, Elizabeth City, NC and get a proper check on your spine. You’ll also enjoy corrective Chiropractic care to help you realign and restructure your spine to maintain a perfect posture.

Organic Non-opioid Care for Chronic Pain – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City, NC Chiropractor In case you just started taking opioids prescriptions for controlling chronic pain, then you might want to try out a non-opioid method for caring for chronic pain. This is because over-dependence on opioids can lead to addiction and overdoes which comes with several diverse side effects. But Chiropractic utilizes safe methods to tackle chronic pain. The non-opioid treatment for chronic pain includes the following: Cold and heat Cold can be essential soon after sustaining an injury to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, trigger recovery, and reduce muscle spasms. Heat increases relaxed muscles and raises your pain threshold. Exercise Staying fit physically, irrespective of certain pain, can play an important role for individuals with some of the most typical pain conditions, including arthritis, low back pain, and fibromyalgia. Weight loss Several painful health-related conditions get more critical by excess weight. Thus, it makes more sense, that losing weight could assist in relieving certain kinds of pain. Occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) OT and PT assist in improving your capability to carry out activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and eating. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) This method uses an extremely mild electrical current to prevent pain signals from going to your brain from your body. Ultrasound This type of therapy works by directing sound waves into bodily tissues. It is most times utilized for improving blood circulation, promoting healing, and decreasing inflammation. Cold laser therapy This is an FDA-approved therapy for treating pain conditions. The cold laser releases pure light of a wavelength that is absorbed into an affected or injured area and might minimize inflammation and accelerate tissue repair. Mind-body techniques Mind-body relaxation methods are typically used at healthcare centers and hospital-based pain clinics. They consist of: Meditation Mindfulness Progressive muscle relaxation Breathing exercises Tai chi and Yoga These exercise and mind-body practices use meditation, breath control, and movements to strengthen and stretch muscles. They might assist with chronic pain conditions like low back pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, or arthritis. Biofeedback This machine-assisted method of caring for chronic pain helps people take charge of their body reactions and responses, including acute and chronic pain. Chiropractic is a non-opioid treatment for caring for chronic pain since it helps in improving your body’s function and also helps your body to heal itself. Acupuncture Acupuncture has to do with putting tremendously fine needles into your skin at precise points on your body. This method might relieve pain by discharging endorphins, (the natural painkilling chemicals in the body). It might also help in influencing serotonin levels, the brain transmitter in charge of mood change. If you want non-opioid treatment and care for a chronic pain you are experiencing, then visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC. We help to correct your body’s alignment to relieve and care for your pains.

Understanding the Opioid Crisis

Understanding the Opioid Crisis – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City, NC Chiropractor Opioids have become more widely known as several countries and cities across North America, Australia, etc. are starting to take legal actions against drug-makers and vendors for the severe damages caused by opioid addiction. What are Opioids? Opioids include the whole family of opiates (gotten from the natural ingredients in opium). This includes semi-synthetic and synthetic substances. Opioids consist of strong prescription acute and chronic pain relievers. It has been revealed that a noticeable number of patients who utilize opioids for longer than the prescribed period would develop a dependency. The four major types of opioid: Endogenous opioids (made by the body) Endorphins Enkephalins Dynorphins Endorphins Opium alkaloids Morphine Codeine Thebaine Semi-synthetic opioids Diamorphine (heroin) Hydromorphone Oxycodone Buprenorphine Fully synthetic opioids Fentanyl Pethidine Methadone Tramadol Tapentadol How do people make use of opioids? Opioids may be prescribed to anyone suffering from chronic or acute pain when their present pain management – using non-opioids and non-drug treatment – is inadequate. Opioid use disorder The opioid-use disorder is the medical terminology for opioid addiction. Opioids are extremely addictive since they stimulate the discharge of endorphins within the brain. An individual might feel compelled to enhance their dosage or look for illegal means for obtaining opioids, like heroin, in a situation where they feel like they can’t get relief without taking opioids. The Opioid Crisis The broad scale of prescription opioid distribution from 2007 to 2013 is believed to weigh at an estimated 76.5 billion opioid painkillers. Rural areas with low-income have been hit the most, including West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky. Deadly overdoses happened in large numbers across Appalachia and some other ‘hotspots’. Typically considered to be a problem in the Midwest in the United States, the rate of opioid disorder and overdoses rose in every eastern US states. The death toll caused by drug overdose in the United States was 70,200 in 2017, with about 47,600 of those being linked with opioid addiction. It is typically accepted that the rates of opioid abuse are underreported and underdiagnosed. Synthetic deaths as a result of opioid overdose are now greater than the number of heroin deaths in the United States. This shows that the manufacture of drugs including cocaine and methamphetamines are now ruined with opioids like fentanyl. It is estimated that a staggering 400,000 individuals have died in North America due to opioid addiction since 1998. However, the impact of opioid addiction spreads more than measurable deaths and overdoses. Also, it influences unemployment, exacerbations of different behavioral health conditions, and loss in productivity. Preventing opioid addiction and overdose To tackle the opioid problem, it is recommended that we implement the following techniques: Enhancing opioid education for both consumers and health providers Encouraging communication between health providers; and Using a Chiropractor to tackle and relieve pain without having to even try opioids in the first place. For more information on how to take care of acute and chronic pain without opioids. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, today.

The Best Spinal Disc Treatment Options

The best disc treatment options – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC Chiropractor The use of non-surgical and non- drug treatment methods in providing relief from symptoms of a disc issue has been proven to be effective. Surgery is a risky, irreversible and expensive procedure and has a much higher recovery time. It's been estimated that over 50% of the population walks around each day with disc issues...and thankfully very few require surgery! The size of the herniation DOESN'T matter. Always examine the patient, not the picture! Visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, for non-surgical treatment of slipped disc. In some cases, surgical treatment of disc issues may be disappointing for patients who suffer from disc problems because the pain may not be reduced. In other cases, the pain may return or become worse, which may cause weakness in other areas of the spine. Natural treatment options for disc problems is an effective treatment option for most patients who want a faster recovery time while avoiding the side effects of medication or surgery. It is, therefore, important to visit an experienced health care provider or Chiropractor for the best non-surgical and non-medication treatment of a disc problem. The best natural treatment for disc issues includes the following: Movement Therapy: Several movement therapy techniques are used by Chiropractors to provide relief from the symptoms of disc issues. These methods include corrective movement re-education, massage therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, spinal decompression, spinal rehab, posture correction and many more. Chiropractic Adjustments: Research shows that the use of Chiropractic manipulative therapy, such as spinal manipulation, can help reduce pain by proper alignment of the spine. Functional Disc Rehydration therapy: Flattened, desiccated and bulging spinal discs may return to some level of proper functionality by promoting and restoring hydration. Loss of spinal fluids has been known to cause problems associated with spinal disc degeneration or disc problems. Visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, for proper functional rehydration therapy in treating disc problems. Functional Disc Rehydration therapy ensures that the spine is decompressed to allow the free flow of nutrients into the starved disc. Bulging discs are restored somewhat to their proper shape. When a spinal disc is restored and rehydrated, it can effectively provide shock absorption and cushioning between the spinal vertebrae. Disc rehydration ensures that movement becomes more fluid. Back pain associated with a disc is relieved and may be eliminated through proper disc rehydration therapy. Exercise programs: Patients with disc problems are advised to carry out stretching and other forms of strengthening exercises to build strength and provide adequate support for the spine. The idea behind this is to keep the body in shape and ensure muscle flexibility. The primary focus of your workouts should be on low impact activities like swimming, body weight movements/exercises or the use of an elliptical machine. Acupuncture: Research has shown that acupuncture is an effective pain-relieving tool which helps the body to release endorphins (the body's natural pain killers). Herbal and vitamin supplements: Fish oil and vitamin D ]can be effective in reducing inflammation. The intake of proper diet and certain food supplements may help provide relief from back pain associated with the disc when combined with other natural treatment options. Patients should discuss with their Chiropractor or Nutritionist before taking food supplements as you want to make sure you are taking the right ones. Changes in certain areas if your lifestyle can help you recover from symptoms associated with a disc. Practicing proper lifting techniques and good posture should be encouraged. You should also try to maintain a healthy weight and learn how to manage stress. Avoid being sedentary for long hours without taking out time to stretch occasionally. These lifestyle changes can be combined with the natural treatment options for lasting and faster recovery from a disc problem.

How to Slow Down Spinal Degeneration

The degenerative disc, as the name implies, is associated with wear and tear over time. Disc degeneration occurs when the shock-absorbing property of the spinal disc deteriorates. Spinal discs provide a cushion effect between two adjacent vertebrae and space for the spinal nerves to exit. Degenerative disc disease can lead to arthritis and other health issues like spinal stenosis. It is technically possible to slow down the degeneration process. Most people, at some point in their life, may experience a few changes in their spine, which may be signs of degenerative disc disease. How to slow down the disc degeneration process You can slow down the process of disc degeneration through the following means: Live an active lifestyle: One very significant thing to do, which can help you in slowing down the disc degeneration process is by living an active lifestyle. One way to live an active lifestyle is to carry out routine exercises. Most Chiropractors will always advise you to engage in stretching exercises. Stretching allows you to move your joints through several ranges of motion. Stretching exercises also help in improving muscle strength, especially around the back and abdomen. It would be best if you avoided over-reliance on your spine when doing heavy work. There are appropriate techniques for lifting heavy objects without putting much pressure on your spine. Also look to maintain a good posture even while sitting at a computer. Take little walks to flex your muscles after sitting for long hours. Dr. Jason Jones, at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, provides proper advice on the best lifestyle that can slow down degenerative disc problems. Quit smoking: Research has shown that smoking is an underlying cause of disc degeneration. Tobacco smoking affects spinal discs in numerous ways. Smoking is said to inhibit rebuilding activities that occur around spinal disc edges. Smoking is also said to aid the constriction of blood vessels that are supposed to provide nutrients to spinal discs. Smoking may also worsen the symptoms of back pain, though a lot of research is still ongoing on this aspect. However, It is a general belief that smoking increases the perception of pain. Watch your weight: Studies show that excess weight is said to be one of the root causes of the degenerative disc. The body exerts more pressure on the spinal disc and joints. Excess weight or obesity contributes to an increase in the risk of disc degeneration in the lumbar vertebrae. Be conscious of your nutrition: Be mindful of the type of food you eat. Take a lot of vitamin-rich foods and avoid eating foods processed food. Eat foods that contain healthy fats, vegetables and fruits. Ensure that you stay hydrated so that there will be improved blood circulation and flow of nutrients to different parts of your body, including your spine. Disc degeneration disease is associated with wear and tear over time, but you can slow down the degeneration process of your spinal disc by living a healthy lifestyle, quit certain bad habits and avoid living a sedentary life. Yoga, spinal reconditioning and other stretching exercises help to strengthen your muscles. You also have to be mindful of the type of food you eat. However, you can pay a visit to Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, for effective ways, you can slow down spinal disc degeneration.

The Most Common Spinal Disc Problems

Spinal discs act as a cushion between the spinal vertebrae and they create space for the spinal nerves to exit the spine. Spinal discs have a hard exterior that provides support and enables a wide range of motion. They can be likened as a shock absorber that protects your spine. Pain is felt around the spinal disc as a result of the deterioration and break down of spinal discs, which can be very mild to severe. Visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, to help you get relief from pain as a result of spinal disc problems. There are two common problems associated with the spinal disc. They include the following: 1. Herniated disc Studies have shown that herniated spinal disc problem occurs as a result of protrusion of the inner disc material through a small tear on the disc. The protrusion of the spinal discs causes more pain than a bulging disc. Herniated disc problem is common among the younger population typically due to trauma. Symptoms of herniated spinal disc problems include the following: Pain in the lower back or leg Cramping or muscle spams Tingling, weakness or a numbness sensation in the affected area.

Is Your Back Pain Caused By a Spinal Disc Issue? –Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC Chiropractor There are several reasons why your back pain may be a result of a spinal disc issue. It is estimated that about 80 percent of people will, at one point in their life, experience back pain. Back pain can not only be very painful but it can restrict the movement of the lower back and eventually the rest of the spine. You can visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, for effective diagnosis and treatment of back pain. Individuals with back pain may find it difficult to bend or lift objects. Several factors can cause back pain of which spinal disc problem is just one of them. Research has shown that spinal disc pain is prevalent among people with lower back issues in about 40% of reported cases. The spinal or intervertebral disc is often referred to as pain generators by medical experts. Pain generators may be regarded as those places in the human body where there could be abnormal physiological activities that can trigger pain. There are differences in the intervertebral disc that may cause back pain. They include the following: Disc injury As a result of spinal disc injury due to an annular tear or a herniated disc problem, pain in the lower back may be experienced. A herniated disc is said to occur as a result of bulging or breaking of the soft jelly-like substance in the disc. When this jelly-like substance, also known as the nucleus pulposus, breaks out and comes in contact with any of the spinal nerve roots, you tend to feel pain, especially around the lower back region. You can visit our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, to get proper non-surgical treatment of herniated disc issues leading to back pain. This may occur when you lift heavy objects while using a rounded spine. What this means is that when you try to lift objects without bending your knees, it may result in disc herniation leading to back pain. Spinal disc injury leading to back pain can occur even in young adults around 18 to 35 years when the disc water content is still high. Disc Disruption According to studies, Disc disruption is another type of abnormal physiological activity that may lead to back pain. It is often referred to as internal disc disruption. IDD is different from degenerative disc disease. Degenerative disc disease occurs due to wear and tear, while internal disc disruption is a result of internal changes that causes regeneration of the jelly-like nucleus pulposus located in the center of the disc. The forward and backward spinal movement also referred to as flexion and extension, are internal changes in the spinal disc that can cause you to have back pain according to studies. Treatment of back pain associated with a spinal disc problem To treat back pain associated with the spinal disc, Chiropractors make use of hands-on techniques such as spinal adjustments. Spinal reconditioning and Strengthening exercises are also recommended as part of the recovery process from back pain. Back pain caused by spinal disc issues can be treated with the help of a competent Chiropractor. You can visit Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic Office in Elizabeth City, NC, for effective treatment of back pain as a result of spinal disc issues.

Techniques to Slow Down and Breathe

Whenever you are stressed or anxious, you tend to increase your risk of depression, insomnia, and so on. Oftentimes the best advice, however, is to slow down and take a deep breath. But unfortunately, many people see it as an old cliché because they do not understand how this process works. One of my patients once said, “Dr. Jones, I really do not believe that breathing can ward off my anxiety and stress; is there any other more effective way?” My answer has always been, “You need to learn the right techniques to slow down and breathe; it works great to calm you down and make you feel rested.” Your autonomic nervous system, which controls processes like digestion, heart rate, and breathing, is responsible for turning our internal dials up and down. When you run into a lion, for example, your heart rate goes off the roof, and you begin to breathe rapidly and shallowly. At this point, your autonomic nervous system steps in to calm you down. But this can be hard if you’re not physically exerting yourself. You are likely to experience symptoms like: Shortness of breath Dizziness Confusion Nausea A lump in the throat Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet However, the good news is that you can reverse these symptoms by practicing changing your breathing. We teach several techniques to slow down and breathe at our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC. Yea, these techniques stimulate the body’s parasympathetic response/ relaxation response, which are characterized by the following physical changes: Breathing slows Heart rate slows Oxygen consumption decreases Muscles tension decreases Blood pressure decreases Calmness in mind Techniques to Slow Down and Breathe You need to understand that when you’re anxious, you often breathe into your upper chest instead of breathing into your lower chest. This is the major cause of hyperventilation (shallow upper breathing). But the following techniques will help you take a deeper, slower breath: 1. Natural Breathing or Abdominal breathing This breathing technique is what we all should practice all day long, except you’re involved in physical activity. It is the opposite of what we experience during anxious moments. (Your abdomen expands as you breathe instead of your chest). More so, it helps to supply sufficient oxygen to the body and controls the exhalation of carbon dioxide. How it goes: Gently inhale enough air through your nose into your lower lungs alone. And then breathe out slowly. Your upper chest should remain still while your stomach will expand. Continue this gentle breathing technique with a relaxed attitude, and focus on filling only your lower lungs. 2. Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing or Calming Breath You can use this breathing technique whenever you are feeling anxious or panicky. It slows a rapid heartbeat and promotes physical comfort. How it goes: Breathe in slowly through your nose, filling your lower lungs and your upper lungs. Suspend your breath and count to “three.” Purse your lips and exhale slowly, relaxing the muscles in your jaws, face, stomach, and shoulders. You can try this technique at least 10 times a day for several weeks. Use it whenever you want to let go of tension, and whenever you begin to feel anxiety or panic building. 3. Calming Counts This technique is more beneficial than a calming breath. It takes about 90 seconds to complete rather than 30 seconds. This helps you focus on other tasks rather than your worrying thoughts. How it goes: Sit comfortably and take a long, deep breath. Then, exhale slowly while saying the word “relax” in your head. Close your eyes and take 10 natural breaths. Then, exhale with a countdown, starting with “ten.” While breathing comfortably, imagine any tensions loosening, perhaps in your forehead, jaw, or stomach. When you count down to “one,” open your eyes and again and repeat. As you practice these three techniques, always remember that your current thoughts have a huge influence on your breathing. So try replacing your negative thoughts with positive thoughts as you work on your breath during a panic.

Episode 11 The Story with Instagram and Your Chiropractic Office Welcome to the eleventh episode of ChiroSocialTech Raw with host, Nicole Cowley and Tristan Schaub from ChiroSushi bringing you another episode where we are talking about the cool new features with Instagram specifically and what it means for your chiropractic office. This is your weekly raw byte of pure chiropractic marketing content delivered to you in both podcast and live format. This podcast is a replay of the infamous weekly Facebook live social media, technology and online marketing show for chiropractors. Instagram you may know is owned by Facebook. So when you want to run ads on Instagram you will do that from your Facebook Ads manager and choose Instagram in your placement options (or choose auto placements is highly recommended). Instagram is offering now to create an ad placement inside of their Stories feature. Because the content in Stories is so unique to it’s place, we do recommend using this placement by itself. Facebook also added a feature in their audience creation that allows you to build an audience of people that have interacted with your instagram account! This is huge to optimize those IG ads and target your warm audience. Listen to this episode in full as Tristan and I have some cool announcements to share and bring, as always, some very practical, implementable info.
