You wake every morning feeling like you were up all night, well maybe you were. Even though you were sleeping all through the night you may be experiencing sleep disturbances. There are over 70 different types of sleep disorders and are all categorized in three areas; lack of sleep, disturbed sleep, and excessive sleep. Sleep disturbances occur throughout the night without you even knowing it, this can be caused by many different problems. Keeping your body in shape, eating correctly, removing caffeine, and developing a good lifestyle can correct these problems. Everyone is different, and Dr. Torres can help! There are stages in your sleep that your body must go through to achieve a good night sleep, in fact there are 5. This cycles over and over throughout the night.
Stage 1 – Light sleep and relaxation of the muscles. (can wake up)
Stage 2 – Activity in the brain slows and eye movement stops.
Stage 3 – Brains waves become slow (delta waves) and small quick waves occur.
Stage 4 – Brains waves are all delta wave.
Stage 5 – (REM) Rapid Eye Movement – dreams occur.
This usually takes about an hour and a half to complete 1 cycle. Remember, when does most healing occur? During sleep. Sleep is needed for your body to function properly and recover, so take care of yourself and do what it takes to achieve a good night sleep.
Your immune system protects you from outside elements, such as dust, pollen, pollution, etc. If your immune system is not working properly you may suffer from, watery eyes, a running nose, sneezing, or many other threats of sicknesses. Did you know that nerve blockages (subluxations) along your spinal column can cause your immune system to malfunction?
Histamines cause most sinus and allergy problems, and most people treat these problems with anti-histamine drugs. These medications will dry the membranes and suppress the symptoms but is not a cure. Stress can often be a factor why your immune system is not working properly and, when ignored, your body cannot correct itself.
The nervous system and immune system, when working properly, work as a natural healing aid and help to correct your sinus and allergy symptoms. Dr. Torres has dozens of clients who have been allergy free for years after chiropractic care and no other type of help! See what is possible for you!
Most people that have mood swings do not even realize how much their moods can fluctuate. They can become irritable and unreasonable over the smallest of things and sometimes are quite difficult just to be around. Medical doctors mostly treat these symptoms with drugs made of chemicals that have negative side effects worse than the symptoms themselves, like depression, homicidal and suicidal tendencies to name only a few!
These mood swings, such as PMS, may be the result of a person’s body missing a natural and needed ingredient like health nerve flow. Dr. Torres takes a natural approach to treating these symptoms through adjustments to remove nerve blockages, diet, supplements and exercise. Results have been dramatic in our office and patients have found relief and can live normal, healthy lives again.
When pain occurs it is showing you that somewhere in your body a problem has surfaced. People shrug pain off everyday thinking it will work its way out, but that may not be the case. You might need to seek professional help to correct and maintain the problem.
There are two types of pain:
1. Acute Pain- This pain is new to the body and can be caused by a sprain, cut, broken bone etc. The pain can be mild to severe and will usually dissipate with healing
2. Chronic Pain-This pain is different and might be accompanied by insomnia, exhaustion, even weight change and can last up to six months or more. Many look to painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. This seems like the right thing to do, after all, no one wants to live with pain. Painkillers will mask the cause of the problem by reducing the amount of pain. Doesn’t it make more sense to find the true cause of the pain and treat it directly?
Dr. Torres has had thousands of cases over the last 15 years who are now able garden, golf, bowl, and play with their kids…pain free!
Absolutely! Compared to all other medical treatments, which include medication and surgery, chiropractic is by far the safest. It is estimated that 120,000 people in the USA die each year from OTC drug-related reactions and nearly 100,000 people die as result of medical errors. Insurance companies evaluate the risks of all professions, and charge a premium based on the risk the profession poses (malpractice insurance). Chiropractors have by far the lowest insurance premium of all medial providers. Even though millions of chiropractic adjustments are made each year, only a few complaints are registered.
A gentle, carefully placed thrust which moves vertebrae into their proper position. The chiropractor usually delivers the adjustment by hand, but occasionally uses other instruments. The purpose of the adjustment is to correct a spinal subluxation.
