If you have a negative impression of chiropractic medicine in general, or if you have not been to a chiropractor in a while, prepare to be amazed! Torque Release Technique (TRT) has revolutionized the field.
TRT involves the use of a hand-held instrument called an Integrator or Activator to safely and gently stimulate the nerves of the spinal cord to do the job they are meant to do. As a result, you you are likely to experience improvement of function in every organ and tissue in your body.
With advancements like TRT, chiropractic care has taken a giant leap in the past few years, becoming safer, more exact, and more effective than ever–if you find the right practice. Know what you are looking for in a chiropractor, if you want to see rapid improvement in the way you feel during your Lyme cure.
An outstanding chiropractor will use x-rays, torque release technique, and other technologies to map out and apply an actual plan for your return to health. This can be done simultaneously with your Lyme treatment.
Chiropractic medicine is not really about back pain. Sure, there are plenty of old-school chiropractors, as well as some new slick corporate franchises, who will still “crack your back” on demand to relieve some pain, temporarily. Avoid these type of practices, and get some real care!
Take the time to research, visit, and interview any prospective chiropractic office you are considering. Dr. Dustin Bossun and Dr. Scott Klein of Vital Performance Chiropractic are the docs to see if you live in Missouri, especially in St. Charles County or West St. Louis County.
Real, effective chiropractic care consists of a personal evaluation, including x-ray motion studies, and a pre-planned series of adjustments over three to six months or more. It is somewhat costly, but it is well worth the investment in your long-term health.
How can chiropractic care help Lyme?
A. Improved Drainage. Ideally, everyone should have 2-4 normal bowel movements each day. Chiro adjustments stimulate the nerves that control this, promoting more frequent and complete elimination of the biotoxins secreted by borrelia (the bacteria that cause Lyme).
B. Reduced Inflammation. Better alignment means more comfortable joints, better communication between the brain and the rest of the body, and an overall reduction of inflammation.
C. Strong Immune System. Adjustments significantly strengthen the immune system to help you fight Lyme disease and its common co-infections.
D. Fewer Allergies. Reduce allergies and the itchy skin that goes with them.
E. Clearer Thinking. Chiro care helps clear brain fog and improve cognitive function that is often impaired during Lyme infection.
F. Better Breathing. This improves quite quickly! The “air hunger” or shortness of breath caused by Lyme disease almost disappears.
G. Less Snoring and Sleep Apnea. A properly aligned neck and reduced inflammation soon reduce or eliminate these problems.
Those are just a few of the many specific benefits you can expect from getting high-quality chiropractic care during your course of Lyme treatment. Just being able to move more freely and have more energy may provide the hope and encouragement you need to persevere on the long, sometimes uncomfortable path to your Lyme cure.
