One of the fastest ways to change your health is to get outside and move.

The sunshine helps improve mood and can have some metabolic benefits (depending on the time of day and exposure to skin).

The movement helps stimulate different neurotransmitters that can be associated with pain relief.

Nature stimulates divergent thinking, which takes the focus off of smaller "problems" and opens us up to creative solutions (thinking outside of the box).

The increase in activity oxygenates and improve the blood flow of the brain and muscles, which helps optimize their function.

Aim to do this at least 3 times weekly for at least 20 minutes to get the most out of it. Bonus points if you can get out there at least 5 times per week.

The key to a diet is the ability to stay on it long-term.

While a low-carb diet provides a lot of benefit for some populations, I don't believe it is something that people should stay on without cycling off for periods of time. Therein lies the rub - going back-and-forth between diets sets us up for failure.

Some fad diets are very successful, however, most of them are unsustainable.

The Mediterranean diet offers all the nutritional value needed, it has flexibility that allows for easier compliance and it is something that can be sustained for the long-term.

This article is important for any type of pain.

The pain that we often face isn't due to an acute trauma. It is often a result of the area not being used as efficiently as it could be over and over again.

That repeated stress ends up putting more strain on the muscles and joints than they can handle, and an inflammatory response ends up occurring.

Over a long enough period of time, this inflammatory response shifts to a point where degeneration starts to occur.

This is a part of why chiropractic care is so effective. It improves the biomechanics - the movement and function - of these areas, reducing the strain that they face.

That reduced strain leads to lowered inflammatory levels and can help prevent the movement toward degenerative changes over the long-term.

Often times pain is not due to one specific injury, but is rather an accumulation of poor movement, body awareness, or awkward requirements of our day-to-day life.

Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be effective throughout many research articles. This one compared adjustment therapy to "usual medical treatment" and found the 94% of patients in the study showed more than a 30% reduction in pain.

This compared with 69% seeing that level of imporvement in the "usual medical treatment" group.

Why do we see such broad based improvements?

Chiropractic care improves the function of the body and the brain while also dampening the stress response. As these changes start to compound we often see better quality sleep, better quality movement and more left in the tank at the end of the day for healing and repair.

If you are looking to get a hold on your pain, chiropractic care offers a natural, safe, effective form of treatment that has also been shown to save overall costs and have longer-lasting effects.

Catecholamines are a released in response to stress.

The thing that is striking on this is that ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฆ of these chemicals.

Sadly, this doesn't just come from having a cast or brace on. Many people throughout our society don't get enough movement throughout the day.

That means that while they may not ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ like they have a stressful life, their body isn't reflecting that. When carried out for a long period of time this leads to decreased immune function, delayed healing, poor sleep, heart challenges, more impulsive decision-making and more.

Yes, ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ exercise is also on that list, however, the appropriate amount of movement throughout a day is an imperative part of the health equation.

Stress is associated with heart attacks - we all know that. Did you know that there are ways you can improve your body's ability to adapt to stress, though?

Chiropractic care has been shown to improve your body and brain's ability to communicate.

When we have this, we can pull the appropriate response forward for the current environment.

I fully believe that chiropractic care is an imperative part to any healthcare routine.

We are electrical beings and there are going to be a lot of things that we learn in the future that make our current approaches to healthcare seem barbaric in comparison.

When we figure out the exact frequencies that we can use to hack these systems, new therapies will ensue.

The point of this is - there are very few things that we know about health in comparison to what we will learn.

What we do know is that the foundational aspects of health - movement, diet, sleep and stress management - provide us with the foundation necessary for short- and long-term health.

Stress can help build better immune function for a while, but it is completely unsustainable.

While the stress system can boost these immune markers, it has to do so at the cost of supplies. Soon or later those supplies are going to run low and we are going to be left in a vulnerable position.

This can be one of the mechanisms that leads to autoimmunity. Our body runs out of the resources it needs for proper function, leaving us with improper function.

Stress is very toxic to health.

Chiropractic care has been shown to improve our body's ability to manage stress properly.

Collagen is an important component of health.

Gut issues are a common issue throughout our society.

The collagen can be an important addition to a health routine as it can help to restore gut health and repair.

If inflammation is coming from the gut and we fail to address that it is going to be hard to do enough other things to keep pace.

When we start by healing the gut, our body is allowed time to heal.

For an analogy, if you are trying to empty a swimming pool and you are pumping out 1,000 gallons an hour, you can expect it to be done in a relatively short period of time (depending on the size of the pool).

If however, you are pumping out the same 1,000 gallons of water, but you forget to turn off the fill-hose that ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ 950 gallons an hour, progress can seem non-existent.

This post uses confusing language, so I'm going to do my best to simplify it.

Omega 6 fatty acids are a big component of the American diet. They are found in seed oils, nuts, commercial meats (beef, chicken and potentially even some farmed seafood), among others.

These fats are inflammatory when they comprise too much of our diet.

Omega 3 fatty acids are ANTI-inflammatory.

Sadly, we don't eat enough of these (as a society in general).

While a healthy balance of omega 6: omega 3 would be 4:1 or lower, the average person (depending on the studies you read) are 15:1 or ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

Getting this ratio back into balance can greatly help improve pain levels, skin conditions, cellular health and more.

Chiropractic works through movement.

When we have proper movement, we have proper communication within the body.

Both of these decrease the inflammation that is created by the system.

This is change that compounds over time.

Less today, even less tomorrow, less than that the next day...

With that, movement (and chiropractic care) are incredibly important to the body's ability to heal.

Get to Know Dr. Jeffrey Cumro, DC

Have you ever been asked a question so profound that it totally changed your life?

There havenโ€™t been a lot of these occasions through my life, but there have been a couple. Four years ago was the most recent one, and the effects on my life have been overwhelming. The effects that question will have on the community is also something that I find exciting.

Before I tell you what the question was, I want to give you a little background on myself. Fifteen years ago, I got really sick. I was always in great shape, but after not being able to sleep for about a month, losing 20 pounds in that time period and not being able to complete 1 lap around an indoor track without stopping I knew it was past time to get to a doctor. I had delayed because I was scared what I would find out.

I was diagnosed with Hashimotoโ€™s thyroiditis. This thyroid issue is an autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself) and I was told that I would have to deal with it for the rest of my life. Today, I help others who live in the Omaha, Lincoln, and Nebraska City areas and are fighting against thyroid diseases like Hashimotoโ€™s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, or Graveโ€™s disease, as well as, diabetes and migraines.
