Pregnancy and Allergy Symptoms

Pregnancy Prenatal Chiropractic Information:  Pregnancy does not cause allergy symptoms like hay fever. Though these symptoms can develop during pregnancy, it is more than likely nasal symptoms during pregnancy which is called pregnancy rhinitis. Pregnancy rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes and can last for up to six weeks.  There is no known cause for this condition.  Women often go into pregnancy with  known allergies like hay fever.  Their pregnancy may reduce their symptoms, worsen them, or have no effect what-so-ever.  A pregnant person should avoid taking over-the-counter (OTC) medicine before consulting a doctor. Some antihistamines are not safe to take during pregnancy.

When back pain and neck pain occur, one of the first doctors people think of is the chiropractor near them.  The chiropractic effect on musculoskeletal conditions is extremely beneficial for low back pain, mid back pain and neck pain.  What the majority of the population does not realize is the effect chiropractic care has on the organs and systems in the body.

For instance, near the heart.  The heart is controlled by electrical impulses.  Electrical impulses are neural impulses or nerve flow.  The impulses come from the brain down the spinal cord, through the spinal nerve to the heart.  This is how the heart functions.  If there is a disruption in neural impulse flow to an organ, the organ does not have the needed nerve electrical energy to function properly.  This malfunction can lead to a disorder in the organ of the body.  In this example, the  heart.

The vast majority of fatal heart attacks are not caused by high cholesterol, fatty diets, obesity and lack of exercise.  Scientific research has shown that improper electrical nerve impulse flow is the leading cause of fatal heart attacks such as the widow maker.

While chiropractic care is not a treatment for heart disease, chiropractic care is near a therapeutic method of improving nerve flow and electrical impulse flow to the heart.

Spinal misalignments alter the shape of the opening between the spinal bones.  This change in the opening puts pressure or irritation on the spinal nerve.  This decrease in nerve flow is what leads to less function in the body.  As far as the heart is concerned, this can interfere with certain heart functions such as rhythm and blood pressure, leading to arrhythmias and palpitations. And ultimately lead to a heart attack.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments free up the spinal nerve spaces allowing neural impulse flow to properly innervate the heart.

The chiropractic connection to heart function is through the spine.  Regular chiropractic adjustments help to ensure adequate nerve flow, improving bodily function and performance. The chiropractor near you and spinal adjustments should be a part of your health care program.
