Read MoreWe get many questions about inflammation in our Atlanta office these days, but inflammation isn't all bad.
At its core, inflammation is an appropriate response by your body when you are sick or injured.
It happens when your immune system attacks and neutralizes toxins, bacteria, and viruses.
Inflammation is a normal part of the healing process.
An acute inflammatory response causes swelling, dilated blood vessels, pain, heat, and redness.
Once your body begins to heal, your body settles, inflammation goes away, and you get on with your life.
When your body heals as it should, there is usually no long-lasting effects of inflammation.
However, chronic inflammation is entirely different.
Chronic inflammation can occur if an injury or sickness is never completely healed.
It can be due to chronic toxic overload, inadequate nutrition, repetitive injury, or chronic stress.
If chronic inflammation isn't addressed, it can develop into harmful patterns that can cause future health problems like cardiovascular disease, colitis, or even neurological diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
In the article below, we will discuss acute and chronic inflammation and how chiropractic care in Atlanta can do to help.
Read MoreDid you know that 77% of all drivers have been in at least one auto accident?
Most drivers will have to file an auto insurance claim for a car accident about every 18 years.
When you do the math, that means the average person can expect to be in three or four car accidents in their lives.
And drivers in Atlanta aren't any different. Having six major interstates, hundreds of busy roadways, and an infinite number of suburban streets, the Atlanta metro area is no stranger to motor vehicle accidents.
Although these road systems make traveling convenient, it is impossible to avoid car accidents altogether.
After being in a car accident in Atlanta, it isn't uncommon for accident victims to skip a trip to the doctor because they didn't think it was a severe car accident.
And when they do go, the doctors often don't get the full story of what happened.
Skipping the doctor or not taking the time to explain your car accident in detail can lead to chronic pain, and sometimes even life-threatening conditions.
And if a negligent driver caused your wreck, skipping the doctor could cost you thousands of dollars.
No matter how you feel, you should always seek medical treatment from a professional like a chiropractor after a car accident.
But your responsibilities don't end as soon as you get to the doctor.
Some doctors are excellent at asking questions and keeping their patients in the loop, but not all doctors are like this.
That's why it's essential for you to ask the right questions.
In the article below, we will look at a few important questions everyone should ask their car accident doctor after an accident in Atlanta.
