Dr. Kenya Of Kenya Chiropractic a Chiropractor in Spartanburg, SC On Osteoarthritis 

In their book Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Drs. Moore, Dalley and Agur has this to say about Degenerative Joint Disease; “These degenerative changes in joints result in the articular cartilage becoming a less effective shock absorber and lubricated surface” (pg 28). Some of the causes of osteoarthritis is trauma. Once the joint has lost its lining on the cartilage, any movement in the joint becomes increasingly vulnerable to the repeated friction that occurs during joint movement. At this stage many make the mistake of refraining from using the joint. Henceforth they lose motion in the joint. The health of a joint is in its movement. The joint gets its nutrition from the movement of synovial fluid in the joint. It is also how the joint gets rid of the waste products and refreshes its surface via the synovial fluid. This is most possible via movement in the joint. While the joint needs to be protected it is of paramount importance that the joint be moved. No wonder the joint of the jaw (TMJ) is the least joint affected by arthritis because it moves all the time. Subluxations restricts joint movement and hence arthritic changes. Having regular chiropractic care will remove subluxations and joint restrictions resulting into healthy joints and healthy life. At Kenya chiropractic we analyze the spine to detect the subluxations to free your joints restriction. Dr. Kenya is located at 8301 Ashville Hwy, Boiling Springs, Sc 29316.

What is wrong with popping my neck?

You have been in places where you see someone pop or ‘crack’ their neck to one side and then to the other. Why? When your joints are fixated there is a desire in your system to want to move them. This ‘ache to move the joint’ leads to many people cracking their necks hopping to loosen the joint. Unfortunately the fixated joint does not move. Instead the joint below or above the fixated joint is forced to move. Fixations

are not resolved by neck cracking. This fixations are most of the time caused by sublaxations. They cannot be moved easily except by a chiropractic adjustment. Next time you feel a desire to crack your neck, understand it as a way of your body making you know that you may be sublaxated. A visit to your Chiropractor in Spartanburg, SC and they will determine if you are subluxated and if you need to be adjusted.

Keep as much as you can, believe you me you need it.

Each generation has its culture. There was a time in life when almost everyone that complained of sore throat had his or her tonsils removed. It just seemed like someone had discovered that tonsils were a luxury. It was later that someone realized that tonsil were actually part of our immune system and that we needed to keep them as much as we could. Then came the age of appendectomy, and gallbladders, and wisdom teeth and many others. The model that if it hurts take it out and throw it away goes against the wisdom of our designer and the function of the body. Every component and organ of the human body is important and with a specific function. Chiropractic seeks to solve the cause of the problem and leave the body to its optimum function without disregarding any part of the body. You have many choices for a Chiropractor in Spartanburg, SC.

The Nervous System - Kenya Chiropractic Spartanburg, SC

                                  Why THE BIG FUSS ABOUT THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The nervous system works to control and coordinate body function and enable the body to respond to and act on, the environment. The brain is in constant communication with all areas of the body 24/7. This communication is effected by nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another. Neurotransmitters make it possible for the nerve impulses on one cell to influence another nerve cell hence allowing brain cells to ‘talk to each other’.  This is accomplished very well when there is no interference. However when there is structural imbalance and misalignment in the vertebral column the nerve cell passages in and from the vertebral column are occluded leading to impinchment  of the nerve cells and hence interference with the communication between them. This is what chiropractors call SUBLUXATION. This will lead to either overexcitement of the communication, cutting off the communication or distortion of the information carried by the nerve cells. With all the confusion and distortion of information the body breaks into a state of dis-ease followed by breakdown and dysfunction of some organs. If not corrected it could lead to permanent damage of the affected areas. This is why the big fuss about the nervous system.

Dealing With Pain: Chiropractors in Spartanburg, SC

The Joy Physical Pain

Imagine a drug that takes away ALL physical pain and without any side-effects. And what if all you need was only one pill to last a lifetime. What would happen to a nation without pain? Can you imagine no pain when you trip and fall; No pain after a terrible accident where you have lost your limbs or eyes, or have brain injury; No pain when you touch hot coals and burn your hand. Soon or later we will have people without limbs not knowing what happened to them because they did not feel any pain. We will have a lot of sudden deaths because there will be no pain to warn us of upcoming dysfunction in our bodies.

Pain is very helpful to good function of the body

1.       Pain is the red light that warns us of impending danger

2.       Pain points us to the area that needs attention

3.       Pain protects us from damaging the dysfunctional tissue until it is fixed

4.       Pain is the safety officer in your body that stops function when a piece is broken

How should one deal with physical pain?

To block pain without dealing with the cause is like silencing the smoke detector that wakes you up because of a house fire by removing the battery from a smoke detector and going back to sleep with the house on fire.

While sometimes it is necessary to take pain medication, they the most abused drugs today. We must understand that you do not have headaches because you lack Tylenol or Advil in the body.  Your body is trying to tell you something. Listen to your body instead of shutting it up. You may soon not have a body to talk to you. To block the pain and continue with the same life style is to ignore the best warning sign that you will ever have

There are specific nerves that communicate pain to you asking to attend to those areas.

At Kenya Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC we will do a thorough exam to specifically determine the cause of the problem and address the cause rather the symptoms. A well functioning nervous system will give you the best optimum function of every part of your body.   Kenya Chiropractic is located at 8391 Asheville Highway, Boiling Springs, SC 29316.

Doctor Kenya on the importance of the Nervous System

Simple Stuff-but VERY important

“The nervous system controls and coordinates ALL organs and structures of the human body” (Gray’s Anatomy, 29^th Ed. Pg 4)

Your body is made to recognize changes and adapt accordingly. When you enter into a hot room it recognizes the heat and activates the sweat glands to avoid high body temperature. If you eat a contaminated sandwich the body will recognize the poison and throw it out either through vomit or diarrhea. All these adaptations are controlled from a central place – THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. When the body has the ability to adapt to these changes it is said to be at ease, but when the ability to adapt to changes is disabled or ‘messed up’, it is called dis-ease (Disease). Chemical, physical and psychological stresses of life causes misalignment in the body which are known as subluxations. These subluxations can only be located, analyzed and corrected by a chiropractor. This is what we specialize in at Kenya Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC. Our joy is to see every one free of subluxations so that their body can function to its optimum best. Call 864-804-6230 or email us at Doctor@KenyaChiropractic.com to have your spine examined for any subluxations at Kenya Chiropractic.  Kenya Chiropractic is located at 8391 Asheville Highway, Boiling Springs, SC 29316.
