Can chiropractic relieve PMS?

If you have subluxations, especially in the lower spine that impair nerves that direct and monitor the reproductive and hormonal systems, chiropractic could be helpful. Undetected subluxations may also be responsible for pelvic pain, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and even infertility. Maybe chiropractic can help. Find out!

Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?

With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Pomona chiropractic practice.

Moderate Alcohol

Growing research seems to suggest that health benefits can be derived from the moderate intake of alcohol, especially red wine. (Moderate intake is considered to be about two glasses of wine three times a week.)

Antioxidant Properties

Red wine appears to block the oxidation of cholesterol, an early step in the creation of plaque on blood vessel walls. A recent study compared the effects of red wine, white wine and pure alcohol. The red wine had the most antioxidant properties. White wine was only 20% as effective, followed by the pure alcohol that had no effect.

The French Paradox

These findings may shed light on what is known as the French Paradox. The French eat the same fatty foods as their European neighbors, but they have much lower incidence of heart problems. The only significant difference between the French and their neighbors is that the French drink much more red wine.

Interestingly, in other studies in which test subjects received non-alcoholic red wine, the heart benefits were not observed.
