Relief for those with Migraines
May 28, 2010
Migraines can be absolutely debilitating. Their symptoms include throbbing pain, vertigo, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting and neck pain. Migraines occur when blood vessels of the head and neck constrict, which decreases blood flow to the brain. Minutes to hours later, the blood vessels dilate (enlarge), resulting in a severe headache. Many different mechanisms trigger the spasm and subsequent blood vessel dilation.
Chiropractic care works on correcting the underlying causes of headaches and relieving symptoms associated with migraines. To see if chiropractic care may be able to help you call (720) 747 1500 today for a complimentary consultation.

May 17, 2010

Kinesiotaping with Success
May 4, 2010
Kinesiotape has been around since 1973. It was developed by a chiropractor, Dr. Kenzo Kase. Kinesiotape is unique because it is much less rigid than traditional athletic tape. It is breathable and can be left directly on the skin for several days. Depending on how the tape is utilitzed and applied, it can have several different benefits. Kinesiotape can inhibit or facilitate muscles. It can support joints. It can be used to decrease swelling and bruising. The uses for kinesiotape are numerous. It can benefit everything from headaches to plantar fascitis to shoulder impingement to herniated discs. Although kinesiotape is pretty easy to buy over the counter, it is important to utilize a practitioner who has specific training in the Kinesiotape method. Dr. Lovett is in the process of becoming a Certified Kinsiotape Practitioner.

Stress & How It Effects Our Bodies
April 16, 2010
Stress effects our bodies in many different ways. The most common symptoms naturally include headache, back pain, neck pain and fatigue as well as high blood pressure, digestive problems and sleeping difficulties.
Chiropractic involves touch; this factor alone sets the stage for release of muscular tension. Your chiropractor administers one or a series of adjustments to the spine and surrounding musculature. The adjustments may help the fatigue or stress by removing nerve irritation, releasing muscular tension and improving blood circulation. Adjustments also have a parasympathetic effect on th body meaning that it helps to get you out of the “fight or flight” mode.
