Headaches do not have a one-size fit all cure. They have many causes. Some of the common ones would be vascular, muscle/tension, toxicity, and yes, dehydration. Chiropractic can have a profound change in the course of a headache, but only if the headache is diagnosed properly! With that said the next sentence is vital to acknowledge. Drinking water is essential to keeping your body working properly. Some people don't like drinking water plain, but I wonder if they have considered their dislike for water as compared to their dislike of what the headache does to their quality of life... sometimes you just have to take a minute and sip some cool refreshing hydration. Liquid H2O could very well be your best friend; especially for those who have frequent headaches.</p> <p> </p> <p>Other causes of headaches that I see very commonly are the headaches caused by toxicity and organ dysfunction. If your body is full of crap... literally... you could get a serious headache. When you pass your &rdquo;headache causing pile&rdquo; and your colon decides to work again the headache should pass (sluggish colons are common in dehydration fyi). The other common area of toxic build up is in your liver. The liver is like the kitchen sponge of your body. It is always cleaning up after your messes and almost never gets cleaned off or washed out. My motto is "If you take good care of your Liver, your Liver will take good care of you." The liver is a complex organ regulating and playing a role in many physiological functions of your body. Some of the top players are the digestive system, the endocrine system, and the glycogen regulation system. Livers are notorious for headaches, back pain, and an overall "crumby feeling." The hard thing is to be able to differentiate a dehydration headache from its toxic cousin. For that you should lean on the knowledge and training of your SOT trained Chiropractor.</p> Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:41:31 MDT Who's the Drunk? http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/whos-the-drunk.html <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Many people have issues that arise with the daily fight against gravity&hellip; Some have a bit more of an issue than others. This is usually referred to as vertigo. There are two main centers of control for the balance and posture of the body. The primary center is in the inner ear. The labrynth of the ear is the best place to look if you have vertigo problems&hellip; but do not be fooled into thinking that the ear is the only problem area. The cervical spine (the neck) is rich in proprioceptors. The proprioceptive reflexes can give bad information to the brain because of misalignments of the spine (subluxations) or previous injuries.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In the Evo Chiropractic office we have seen many cases of dizziness resolve with some cervical adjusting. Some people need only a few adjustments and other need some diligent care&hellip; one patient I am thinking of was quite a case. The patient presented to the clinic with vertigo, so bad that she could not stand straight, looking drunk was the nice way to put it! She was dizzy and slurring and swaying and running into things. I would have thought someone gave her a drink, but she had been under parental supervision for the past few days. She had just come from her primary care doctor, and the lab work was normal. They had no idea why she was so &ldquo;off.&rdquo; After a careful evaluation and an adjustment we let her rest for a few minutes on the table. She got off the table with an immediate relief of about 75% of her vertigo! With only one visit she had seen her body respond in a more than positive way. This patient is in the office for a checkup now and then and has to this day not had a recurrence of the vertigo&hellip;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">I have attached a more in depth article about causes, treatment options, and problems to watch out for with vertigo.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Dr. Bench</span><strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Causes of Vertigo</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Vertigo can be caused by many problems, most of which originate in the peripheral or central nervous system.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The causes of vertigo that stem from the peripheral nervous system include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), acute vestibular neuronitis, labyrinthitis and M&eacute;ni&egrave;re&rsquo;s disease.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Acoustic neuroma, migraines, cervicogenic vertigo and multiple sclerosis are all related to the central nervous system.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Vertigo can also be caused by a wide variety of medications such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihypertensives, diuretics, barbiturates, salicylates (e.g., aspirin), sedatives or hypnotics, some prescription and over-the-counter cold medicines, and some antibiotics and antineoplastics.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, high blood triglycerides, hypoglycemia, and food allergies or gluten sensitivity can also cause or worsen vertigo.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Motor vehicle accidents, falls or other types of traumas or illnesses can also be associated with vertigo.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">To diagnose the cause of vertigo, your health care provider will perform an examination, including a variety of positioning tests, to check if they will reproduce the sensation of motion. Other tests may also be necessary.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Read more at &hellip; </span><a href="http://www.acatoday.org/content_css.cfm?CID=4013"><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://www.acatoday.org/content_css.cfm?CID=4013</span></a></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:26:00 MDT In the Coming Tri... http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/in-the-coming-tri.html <p><span style="font-size: small;">On August 21</span><sup><span style="font-size: small;">st</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;"> you will find the Evo team at the medical tent at the end of the Rush Triathlon.

Some signs that you might need to get yourself looked at are:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"> </span></p> <ol> <li><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Pain when trying to stand up straight</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Hands and fingers that &ldquo;fall asleep&rdquo; while doing yard work, computer work, and falling asleep <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>during the <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>nightly news</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Inability to do your Yoga positions with or without pain</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>&ldquo;Funny&rdquo; shoe wear&hellip; ie. All the wear on the inside, or outside of the shoe could be a pelvic <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>and/or <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>postural issue</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small; color: #231f20;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Inability to sleep on both sides without neck pain</span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> <ul> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Posture is also important in keeping your spine free from fixations and troubles. If you walk with more weight on one foot than the other, your spine will compensate by building up the muscles on one side. This will lead to a one sided pull on your spine. Pulling from only one side will cause problems that your chiropractor can take care of in short order. More postural keys can be found in the following link. Consults are complimentary at Evolution Chiropractic&hellip; so bring yourself and your problems in&hellip; and Dr. Bench will decide if it is something we can treat.</span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.acatoday.org/content_css.cfm?CID=3124">http://www.acatoday.org/content_css.cfm?CID=3124</a></p> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:54:43 MDT Would you benefit from a detox?

It is networked together in the most efficient and powerful ways to make the processing power of your brain better than any computer. The brain will process constant stimuli from your body in the background and still be able to carry on a normal conversation without much difficulty.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">You know when things are not right.

The brain will function at a sub-par level unless you get about 7 hours of sleep per night. You need to average 7-8 to be at your best. Dr. Perlmutter, in his book, "The Better Brain," suggests that not getting adequate sleep overtime is actually killing brain cells. The recap goes like this&hellip;</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Sleep is a time when your body winds down and rejuvenates. It is also a time when the brain does systems check. The brain goes through and checks hormone levels, neurotransmitters, and cleans out waste products.

Getting the right amount of exercise does a ton of good things for your body. When you get a hard work out in your brain will function better simply because you have just flushed the proverbial toilet on your body. Taken your insides and given them a thorough washing. Chemically your body needs some activity every day, and this means more than getting the kiddos going and off to school. Make yourself become the master of your body. Doing this will give your brain a break. As we exercise regularly we turn down the background noise and allow the brain to relax, and save some of that processing power working in a daily environment.</span></span></li> </ol></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">So how do you get that brain of yours into tip-top shape?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Rest it&hellip;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Work it&hellip;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">And eat right.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I will save the last one for another day&hellip; but a plug for our health talk coming up is IF your body is full of crappy foods and crumby lifestyle choices&hellip; your brain will be so busy working in the background that your mental sharpness may suffer.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Here is the link to the questionnaire about</span></span><a title="Detox Questions" href="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/files/detox_questionnaire_2010.pdf"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> </span></span></a><a title="Detox Questions" href="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/files/detox_questionnaire_2010.pdf"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">DETOX and if you need one.</span></span></span></span></a></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p> <p><strong><em><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Leave a comment and tell how you like to boost your mental prowess!</span></span></em></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">REFERENCES:</span></span></p> <p><a title="Shopping results Better Brain Book" href="http://www.google.com/products?rlz=1C1GPCK_enUS369US369&amp;q=better+brain+book&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wf"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Better Brain Book by Dr. David Perlmutter, M.D., FACN, and Carol Colman</span></span></span></a></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The Brain of Dr. Bench :)</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 17:05:06 MDT A C.O.W. is... http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/a-cow-is.html <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Bench is having a C.O.W!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"> <img style="float: right; margin: 5px; border: 5px solid black;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/happy_cow_large.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="125" /></p> <p>A C.O.W.

One usually seeks out a 'detox' when they feel they are suffering from something that is unexplained by Doctors, not treated with meds, or are just interested in another way to make their body healthy.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">How do you do it?</span></strong></p> <p>Usually it&rsquo;s a diet plan to reduce the intake of toxins in the body, or to rid your body of toxins which you take in from pollution and foods. With this intake routine, you eat only natural foods like fruits or vegetables, along with specific supplements, cell rebuilders, detoxifiers, and sometimes some exercise. Detoxing should be done while you are being monitored by a health care provider. You should normally not have to detox more than once per year.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">WHY?</span></strong></p> <p>Toxins effect EVERYTHING in your body, especially your specific weak points. In our office we have seen a myriad of symptoms dissipate and sometimes disappear with our detoxes. We've seen our detoxes help: headaches, migraines, back pain, bloating, fatigue, chronic constipation or diarrhea, low immune system, acne, rashes, high cholesterol, hair loss, weight management problems and much more!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Note of Caution: </span></strong></p> <p>As detoxes do not provide all the nutrients to the body it should not be continued for long, like more than 10 days. Also, it is not safe for pregnant women, some children and some diabetics. This is why Dr. Bench personally monitors you before, during and after a detox. He does a lot of research on your specific health and lifestyle before he creates a detox for you. Evolution Chiropractic does specific seminars tailored directly to detoxes. (Next seminar is Thursday, December 16th @ 6:30 at our office.)</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">In conclusion:</span></strong></p> <p>Everyone at one point or another is toxic- beit from an addiction (alcohol, cigarettes, food, etc.) work environments, or stress. The truth is that EVERYONE could benefit from some form of a detox. At Evolution Chiropractic, Dr. Bench has done some intensive training, research and studying of detoxes. He feels that some issues in the spine either evolved from a toxicity issue, or has created toxicities. This creates a scenario where the body lacks a way to deal with toxins appropriately. With the right adjustments, (organ and bone) and detox, most have found relief of all their symptoms. Our detox questionnaire, on our website, under 'downloadable forms' is a good start to help you to know if you would benefit from a detox. Feel free to fill one out, and have a FREE consult with Dr. Bench, or attend one of our Detox Seminars.</p> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 17:22:12 MST Valentine's Day http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/valentines-day.html <p> </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Stop by and say HI! </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Monday, February 14th during business hours.</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">We are showing our love and appreciation for our patients, clients, and future associates!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Free goodies and lots of love!</span></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/happy-valentines-day-graphics23.gif" alt="" width="520" height="335" /></p> Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:31:52 MST Medical Journal Study Finds Chiropractic Care Superior http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/medical-journal-study-finds-chiropractic-care-superior.html <p> </p> <p>I came across this study published by a Medical Journal and wanted to share:</p> <p> </p> <h2 class="art-postheader" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 0.2em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.2em; margin-left: 0px; color: #3e443c; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://drmaj.com/new-study-finds-chiropractic-care-superior-to-md-or-pt-for-low-back-pain/"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">New Study Finds Chiropractic Care Superior to MD or PT for Low Back Pain (click here to read more...)</span></span></a></span></h2> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/low-back-pain.gif" alt="" width="198" height="223" /></span></p> Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:46:45 MDT "Surging Your Way into Sickness..." http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/surging-your-way-into-sickness.html <table id="content_LETTER.BLOCK6" style="background-color: #ffffff; width: 100%; height: 210px;" border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="20" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: left; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;" align="left"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><img style="vertical-align: top;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/circuit-surge-2.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="368" /></p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>W</strong></span>hat would happen if you plugged 10 appliances in one outlet and turned them all on at the same time?

Turn on all those stresses at the same time and POW, you'll quickly overload your system, blow a circuit and fry your state of health! Chiropractors call this situation a Subluxation. Depending on what nerves (circuits) are involved, you can experience symptoms from mild aches and pains to more significant health problems like High Blood Pressure <span style="font-size: 8pt;">(<em>Journal of Human Hypertension</em> 22,1 G Bakris, MD et al)</span>.

Not just to run, but to enjoy running the way they want to again. After all, a good shoe can only help so much if the body is just not aligned correctly, and on the other hand, a good adjustment can help a runner only so far as a good shoe. So obviously a running relationship is crucial to the health of all runners out there.</p> <p> </p> <p>Teton Running has made it their professional goal to keep runners running happy. They take every precautionary and careful measure to ensure your safety and top performance. Dr. Bench does the same. Professionally and for leisure, running/exercising is crucial to overall health and wellness. Nobody likes to feel the breeze whisp through their hair while running only to have to stop and rest a mile in to give attention to a sore knee, ankle, hip, etc. Dr. Bench coupled with Teton Running equal a better exercising experience all the while improving stamina, strength, longevity and overall ENJOYMENT!</p> <p><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/anterior-knee-pain.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="273" /></p> <p>RUN AGAIN, and LOVE IT MORE!</p> Tue, 31 May 2011 21:05:48 MDT Liberty Day Festival! http://www.evochiropractic.com/post/liberty-day-festival.html <p>&#65279;&#65279;&#65279;&#65279;&#65279;<img style="vertical-align: top; margin: 10px; border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.evochiropractic.com/wwwroot/userfiles/images/july4th.gif" alt="" width="267" height="307" /></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">We want to see you!!!!</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">We will be at the Liberty Day Festival on the greenbelt for the fourth of July!
