Understanding the Potential Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain is an extremely common complaint heard by chiropractors. A number of different things can trigger this kind of pain, but getting to the root cause is important so that treatment can be tailored accordingly. If you’re suffering from neck pain, whether it is acute or chronic, here are some of the potential explanations for the ache:

Repetitive Activities
The most common causes of neck pain are repetitive motions that cause injuries over time. There are several different ways you can cause this kind of strain on your neck. Bending your neck to cradle your phone on your shoulder and holding your head in an awkward position while you read or watch television are common causes. Hanging your neck or stretching it upwards to look at a computer screen or keyboard can also cause pain. If you sleep on a pillow that is too full or too flat, or if you sleep on your stomach with your neck twisted, you could wake up with chronic neck pain.

Injuries
If your neck pain comes on suddenly, an injury may be to blame. Whiplash—an injury caused by a rapid forward and back swing of the neck—is common after car crashes. Falls and blows to the face can also cause neck injuries. Injuries to the neck also happen frequently in sports. Any penetrating wound to the neck can also cause neck pain.

Medical Conditions
With chronic neck pain in particular, medical conditions may be to blame. Fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis are both associated with neck pain. Spinal stenosis, a condition in which the spinal cord narrows, also causes it. More acute medical problems, like meningitis and the flu, also often lead to stiffness and aching in the neck.

Whatever the cause of your neck pain, Rejuvenate Chiropractic Spa can help. Our chiropractors and acupuncturists offer effective solutions to pain without medication. Find out how we can help you say good-bye to your nagging neck pain by calling our Corona treatment center at (951) 808-5873.

What Is the Importance of Exfoliating?

Exfoliation is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. Not only will it help you maintain a bright, youthful glow, but it will also protect your skin from acne and even cancer. Whether you choose physical or chemical exfoliation, it should be part of your daily skin care regime.

Watch this video to learn more about the importance of exfoliation. Skin cells are supposed to be shed in 28-day cycles, but as you age, they seldom do so. Instead, dead skin cells clump on your skin surface, making you look older. These skin cells can also clog pores, causing acne, or turn pre-cancerous.

Exfoliation is part of all of our facials at Rejuvenate Chiropractic Spa. We offer a range of spa and chiropractic treatments to help you look and feel your best. Learn more about our services by calling out Corona location today at (951) 808-5873.    

How Your Body Works As a Self-Healing Machine

What makes chiropractic care different from the care offered by your primary physician? The answer is in the approach. While your primary care physician looks outward for medications and treatments to help you overcome pain and illness, a chiropractor looks first to your own body. Chiropractic care focuses on maximizing your body’s ability to heal itself. Tapping into that potential is powerful if you suffer from chronic illness and pain, because it means coping with your health issues without relying on medication. How does your body self-heal, and how do chiropractic treatments help? Here is what you need to know:

Spinal Subluxations
Chiropractic treatments usually involve adjusting the spine to relieve subluxations. Subluxations are spinal misalignments. When the spine isn’t aligned, vertebrae can press against spinal nerves and cause chronic pain. Adjusting the spine and putting all of the pieces back into alignment can relieve this pain. However, the implications of subluxations aren’t limited to the spine. Depending on where the subluxation is located, it could be causing pressure on nerves that interfere with the way organs throughout your body function. Symptoms from headaches to chronic fatigue can often be traced back to subluxations. Chiropractic adjustment allows your body to simply function properly, which can eliminate these symptoms.

Oxidative Stress
Physical and emotional stress is a part of life. Internally, this stress allows oxidants to build up and cause DNA damage and inhibited cell repair. Ideally, you have a high level of anti-oxidants called serum thiols to counteract the effects of the oxidants and protect from DNA damage. However, illness and stress itself can cause lowered serum thiols levels. Research has shown the chiropractic care boosts serum thiols rates. High levels of serum thiols allow your cells to repair themselves in the face of illness and injury. Undergoing chiropractic treatment opens the window for your body to heal itself.

A Look at the Different Types of Facial Treatments

Everyone’s skin has unique needs. In response to the diversity of skin types, spas offer many types of facials tailored to the preferences of your skin and lifestyle. Keep reading to learn more about the different facials you can enjoy during your next spa trip.

Exfoliating Facials
When dead skin cells build up on your skin, they can clog pores and cause acne, make your skin look older and more wrinkled, and reduce blood circulation and cell replenishment. An exfoliating facial removes these dead cells for skin renewal. Some exfoliating facials use mechanical abrasion tools, while others use gentler scrubs applied by hand.

Anti-Aging Facials
An anti-aging facial can be a multi-step process designed to fight wrinkles and dullness in skin. Exfoliation is commonly a part of these treatments, and may be combined with light therapy, massage, or a peel agent like glycolic acid.

Acne and Oil Treatment Facials
Acne treatments deeply cleanse the skin to remove buildup from the pores before it can cause new breakouts. Your facial may also include an antibacterial component to further reduce your skin’s breakout cycle. Some people find that regular acne facials dramatically improve their acne problems.

Sensitive Facials
If your skin is sensitive or if you are allergic to harsh agents or chemicals, a regular facial may do more harm than good. That’s why most spas offer facials designed with sensitive skin in mind. These facials are less abrasive and use milder ingredients than some other facials, but these gentle, hypoallergenic treatments can still yield great results and help balance skin prone to irritation.
