Craniosacral Therapy for Migraines in Gresham and Portland

11/30/2017

0 Comments

Migraine headaches can be caused by a number of triggers; anxiety, stress, and sadness can release chemicals that result in a migraine headache. Ironically, the release after a stressful period can also cause migraines. Many people with a busy workweek get weekend headaches.

Craniosacral therapy is a holistic therapy that involves the manipulation of the skull bones (the cranium) and the sacrum to relieve pain from migraines as well as other painful aches you may feel in the back, neck and jaw.

Craniosacral therapy feels like a gentle relaxing scalp massage. It is a gentle non-invasive way to release compression in the areas in your head, spinal column, and sacrum (near your tailbone).  Many don’t realize that you have muscles and joints in your head. These muscles and joints can store tension and an effective craniosacral therapy can relive that tension.


At
Your Sanctuary for Healing, we have a holistic approach to improving health and promoting personal wellness. If you are suffering from migraines, head, neck or back pain see us for Craniosacral Therapy.

Top Delayed Injuries After A Car Accident

11/22/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
After a car accident, you may not feel immediate pain. Some car accident injuries are delayed and can cause a great deal of pain. Chiropractic care is essential to maintain the health of a spine that has been through trauma. With proper care, chiropractic therapy can subdue pain, restore motion, and minimize scar tissue from an auto accident.
 
Below are 4 classic symptoms of delayed pain from injuries caused by a car accident.

1. Headaches

Headaches are the most common delayed injury. headaches can develop after several days. The greatest concern is a headache can signal a potentially serious problem such as a blood clot in the brain, injury to the neck or head or even a serious concussion.

2. Neck or Shoulder Pain or Stiffness

Neck or shoulder pain can signal a whiplash, the most prominent delayed injury after a car accident. A whiplash can occur at speeds as low as 15 mph. Whiplash injuries can be serious and may require x-rays, CT scans or MRIs for proper diagnosis.

3. Back Pain
Back pain that appears after an accident could be caused by injury to the muscles, ligaments or nerves in the back or even by damage to the vertebrae. Low back pain is caused by more than half of rear impact-collisions and almost three-quarters of all side-impact crashes.

4. Numbness
Loss of feeling in arms and hands is another indication of whiplash injury The loss of feeling results from damage to the neck or spinal column.

At Your Sanctuary for Healing, we have a holistic approach to improving health and promoting personal wellness. We have decades of experience with Chiropractic Care and Auto Injuries.

How To Make Your Own Fermented Vegetables

11/16/2017

Many people are taking probiotic supplements to improve their gut and overall health. If you don’t like taking supplements or if you think they’re just too expensive, consuming fermented vegetables is a great alternative! Fermenting vegetables at home is easy but can be time consuming due to all the veggie chopping required. The time commitment is well worth the benefits! Fermented vegetables contain large amounts of probiotics, much more than even the best probiotic supplements. Learn how to make your own fermented vegetables in 3 simple steps below.

3 Simple Steps to Superior Fermented Vegetables

1. Prepare your brine. For best results, I recommend using a starter culture dissolved in fresh celery juice that you juice yourself. One cup of celery juice is enough for 3 quarts of vegetables. Celery juice contains natural sodium that keeps the vegetables anaerobic, preventing the growth of unwanted bacteria. No extra salt is needed.

While you can do “wild” fermentation – that is, allowing whatever is naturally on the vegetable to produce the fermentation – this method is more time consuming, and the end product is less certain. Inoculating the food with a starter culture speeds up the fermentation process.

Although not quite as desirable for fermenting vegetables as my starter culture, you can use two of our 100 Billion CFU Complete Probiotic capsules in your brine for every quart of fermented vegetables to inoculate them with probiotics.

2. Pack your jars. Make sure your jars and lids are clean and dry. Tightly pack your cut-up vegetables and brine mixture into each Mason jar, and carefully compress using a masher to remove any air pockets. Top with a cabbage leaf, tucking it down the sides. Make sure the veggies are completely covered with brine that reaches the top of the jar to eliminate trapped air.

Screw the lids, preferably my special Fermenting Jar Lids, on the jars loosely, as they will expand due to the gases produced in fermentation.

3. Ferment your vegetables. Allow the jars to sit in a warm location for several days, ideally between 68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, 85 degrees max. Heat kills the beneficial microbes, so be sure to monitor temps. During the summer, veggies are typically done in three or four days. In the winter, they may need as much as seven days.

How do you know when they’re ready? Simply open up a jar and taste them. Once you're satisfied with the flavor and consistency, move the jars into your refrigerator. Refrigeration drastically slows down the fermentation process. Your fermented vegetables will keep for many months in your refrigerator, continuing to mature very slowly over time.

Chiropractic and Massage Care Covered By Most Auto Insurance

11/9/2017

Auto insurance policies cover most forms of chiropractic and massage services. Chiropractic care and massage therapy following an auto injury can benefit you in the short term and long term.

Short-Term Benefits
In the short term, the sooner you seek chiropractic care and massage therapy after an auto injury the sooner you can diagnose the type of injury you have and what the best plan of action is to get you well again. You may not realize the damage until days after the accident causing neck, back, and whiplash injuries—not to mention joint and soft tissue pain.

Long-Term Benefits
Long term, symptoms if left untreated can be prolonged and cause other additional serious health problems. In fact, you may not think you have been injured after a car accident and then start to experience discomfort or headaches several months after the fact. You need to have your body in optimal health after an accident in order to provide the body the best chance for recovery. In addition your chiropractor can also provide stretches and exercises to promote your health when you are at home.

The first step to proper treatment for an auto injury to is make an appointment. At Your Sanctuary for Healing, we have a holistic approach to improving health and promoting personal wellness.

Top 6 Proven Benefits of Taking Probiotics

11/2/2017

0 Comments

Your gut naturally hosts between 500 and 2,000 different species of micro-organisms including bacteria, yeast, parasites, viruses and more. These microbes are necessary but the good and the bad bacteria need to be balanced. If the bad bacteria outnumber the good then chronic inflammation can occur, which is the cause of many chronic conditions and diseases. Learn the benefits of taking probiotic below.

The strongest evidence to date finds that probiotics benefits include:
  • boosting immune system
  • preventing and treating urinary tract infections
  • improving digestive function
  • healing inflammatory bowel conditions like IBS (4)
  • managing and preventing eczema in children
  • fighting food-borne illnesses
New studies underway may soon prove that probiotics can:
  • reduce flu and colds
  • reduce overuse of antibiotics
  • treat kidney stones
  • treat colic
  • prevent cavities and gum disease
  • treat colitis and Crohn’s disease
  • combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria
  • treat liver disease
  • battle cancer (5)
  • manage autism
  • lower cholesterol
  • fight bacteria that causes ulcers
  • improve acne
  • lose weight

Essentially, probiotics help in strengthening the immune system, treating digestive issues and fighting neurological disorders. With 80% of the immune system living in the gut, including probiotics in your daily diet can not only benefit your digestive tract but also improve your overall health.
