Balance in Motion – Tips to Create Healing Without Stopping the Process

April 25, 2012 by ptpt 2 Comments

Every process going on in our body happens for a reason, including inflammation. Our body reacts to a tissue tear by sending a signal to create swelling (our body’s way of immobilizing an area and bringing blood flow to help heal). If we choose to pop a few anti-inflammatory meds, we block the initial phase of tissue healing. In the short-term, the swelling goes down and pain is relieved, but the long-term trade off is often impaired resolution, like scar tissue. This is why we often injure the same spots over and over.
Here are a couple great ways to create healing without stopping the process: one old and one new.
Acupuncture has been around for centuries. By stimulating specific points on the body, it works to enhance our body’s response to injury and help us move through the healing phase faster. It also helps with stress-management and metabolism.

A painless cutting-edge technology that also works with our body’s natural response is the Class IV K-laser. This laser supercharges injured and dysfunctional tissues on the cellular level to perform “photobiomodulation”. In essence it gives your body’s cells more energy so they repair and regenerate new tissue faster. The patient experiences a pleasant warm sensation during the treatment, similar to ultrasound, but the lasers has the power to penetrate much deeper into the tissues.
Come into BALANCE IN MOTION and receive a complimentary consultation and your first K-laser session. Experience improved tissue healing for yourself. Call (949) 515-4006 or email us to make an appointment.

Balance in Motion – Sleep and Muscle Recovery Tips

April 18, 2012 by ptpt 2 Comments

Sleep and Muscle Recovery

Not making the strength gains you think you should be?

How’s your sleep?

Lack of sleep and poor sleep quality negatively impacts coordination, mental focus and inhibits muscle growth and repair.

Why?

Many people don’t realize that sleep is an active physiological state for our bodies. There are thousands of processes taking place that affect our hormones, immune system, and muscle recovery, in addition to affecting our mood and mental clarity. During deep sleep our brains are less active, so the blood flow to our muscles increases, rejuvenating and repairing our tissues. This is also when our body releases most of its growth hormone. Having a deficiency in growth hormone is associated with increased obesity, decreased muscle mass and a reduced exercise capacity.

One or two nights of reduced sleep probably won’t impact your performance too much; however, consistently not getting enough sleep could be the culprit keeping you from achieving your goals. According to the the National Sleep Foundations guidelines the average adult should get between seven and nine hours per night.

Body Care Tips Part 2 From Balance In Motion

The Benefits of Massage

Bob Hope attributes “a daily massage” for his long-lasting youthful energy and 100 years.
At BALANCE IN MOTION, massage is an important part of my patients’ care. When muscles are tight, it is difficult for me to affect the underlying alignment without first alleviating the tension. Massage not only makes my job as a chiropractor easier it improves many aspects of health and well-being.

Here are my top five reasons to become a regular massage user:
1. Beat the Blues. The Touch Research Institute has conducted many studies investigating massage for depression and anxiety. These studies have shown massage leads to a decrease in the levels of stress hormones pulsing through our bodies.
2. Get in the Flow. Massage improves circulation. Muscle cells need oxygenated blood to function properly. The faster your blood can get to your muscles, the faster they recover from your workout. This also diminishes soreness and can reduce swelling.
3. Clear the Crap. Our bodies’ toxins accumulate in the lymphatic system and contribute to disease. The stimulation of lymphatic drainage helps your body get rid of metabolites that build up during workouts.
4. Boost your Immunity. According to Science Daily, researchers from Cedars-Sinai’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences have found massage created measurable changes in participant’s immune and hormonal response, including increased white blood cell count.
5. Live Free. Massage improves joint mobility. The body is a musculoskeletal system. Tight muscles, tendons and ligaments put pressure on the body’s framework (skeleton) which can cause mobility problems leading to injury.

Wednesday Body Care Tips from Balance in Motion

April 4, 2012 by ptpt 3 Comments

Greetings from Balance in Motion!

Here are your tips for getting over the hump of your week and exercise routine starts with successful injury prevention and recovery!

The first step in accomplishing this goal is listening to your body. We live mainly in our head with constant texting, email, and thinking. Exercise is a great way to reconnect and escape, but taking a “No Pain No Gain” approach and pushing too hard leads to sprains, strains, tears, and burnout.

Many patients treated at BALANCE IN MOTION start with very little body awareness; and therefore, push past their limits and get injured. Don’t make the same mistakes and end up not being able to exercise for months.

3 recommendations to improve your mind/ body awareness

1. Get stimulated in all the right ways. The best way to get connected is to rouse your body’s communication pathways. A chiropractic adjustment boosts the link between your brain and your body by stimulating mechanoreceptors in your joints and muscles that tell your brain about your body’s position. If you are out of alignment or have had a previous injury to an area this feedback system can be impaired leading to injury.

2. Don’t paint over your check engine light. Pain is our body’s way of telling us there is a problem. So don’t do things to fix it that simply mask it. Stop taking pain killers and anti-inflammatories. Not only is this habit hard on your liver and kidneys, it doesn’t allow you to feel your body and the possible damage you might be causing during your workouts.

3. Take a deep breath. Stopping to breathe and doing specific breath work during your workout helps you stay aware and improve oxygenation.

Feeling muscle tension or joint pain, find out if misalignment could be the culprit.

Call (949) 515-4006 or contact us this week and schedule a complimentary consult and exam including one x-ray if needed. (Save $195 and get points for your City Transformation Team for taking action to prevent injury)
