Transitioning from eating an unhealthy diet full of bad carbohydrates, greasy fried foods, sugary snack, sodas, and other bad food choices to eating a healthy balanced diet of lean meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as just a more natural / simple / raw diet can greatly reduce inflammation. As inflammation is the largest cause of health issues that we deal with as individuals and as a society, we've worked hard to improve the way that we fight inflammation and reduce the stress load on our bodies. However, many people still resort to taking a pill like Tylenol or Advil to suppress inflammation rather than solving the problem at the source.

It's become so common to us as chiropractors to offer water to our Southlake chiropractor patients after a chiropractic adjustment and then go on with our day. As it is, it's important to stay hydrated, especially during the summer here in Southlake, Texas where it stays above 100 degrees Fahrenheit day after day. But, did you know that drinking water to stay hydrated is especially important after each chiropractic adjustment because it releases the toxins that have been trapped in your muscles and joints that have been causing you pain and discomfort. In order to get rid of those toxins and to help the healing process, we recommend that you drink at least 16 ounces of water (yes, only water!) within an hour after your chiropractic adjustment at Meyer Chiropractic.

Did you know that if we feel thirsty, we are already dehydrated? According to a study by New York Hospital and Cornell Medical Center, 75% of their 3003 subjects were chronically dehydrated. And since hydration affects our heart, blood pressure, pulse, digestion, temperature, and all of our other organs, it's something that we should be better at maintaining than we currently are. We know that we all need to drink more water, but when, and how else can we improve our fluid intake during the day that makes it easier for the average American to drink more water. Since we're located in Southlake, TX we also want to provide special care into helping our community stay hydrated despite the Texas heat and humidity. How Our Bodies Lose Water There are many ways we lose water throughout the day. It’s important to be mindful of [...]

Patients are often surprised when they see kids being treated in our office. We usually hear some version of “what can a 10 year old have done to need to see you?” What’s funny about this is that these are the same people who have been dealing with pain for years. Once they start feeling better they say something to the effect of, “I wish I had known about this sooner!” Children today have issues that simply didn’t exist 20 years ago. By the time some kids hit middle school they are playing sports and training 20 hours a week or more . In high school they may be training 30+ hours a week putting massive wear and tear on their body. Other kids are “Gamers” and they spend hours every day in front of a screen which could lead to extremely tight muscles, [...]

In the deepest, darkest corner of Meyer Chiropractic, under sputtering torches there is a device that looks like something from a 14th century castle dungeon. The Rack. Truth be told, it is in a well lit area, complete with its own 40 inch TV. And, it’s not a torture device, it is Dr. Meyer’s spinal decompression table. Decompression doesn’t cause pain, it relieves it.

This disc can be inured, causing it to bulge or even herniate. When that happens, a part of the disc will impact on a nerve, causing sharp, shooting pain (such as sciatica). Spinal Decompression therapy is the BEST way to treat a bulging or herniated disc. [...]
