Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis
A leading cause of pain in the heel can be attributed to plantar fasciitis. This painful condition of the plantar fascia, the ligament in the bottom of your foot, is caused by small tears in the ligament. If not addressed, these small tears can turn into larger tears, causing more pain and more problems. You may not realize that chiropractic care can be a solution for plantar fasciitis pain. Many Americans suffer from plantar fasciitis symptoms and many have found relief with chiropractic care.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
There are many things that can cause plantar fasciitis. Too much improper form during exercise, suffering a fall, or injuring yourself can cause damage to the plantar fascia that leads to plantar fasciitis. Something as simple as wearing the wrong type of shoes on your feet, standing on your feet all day on a regular basis, or even other previous health conditions such as arthritis can cause plantar fasciitis. Once they begin, the symptoms can become painful and annoying fairly fast. It can be so painful that it even affects how you walk. Changing how you walk in an attempt to avoid plantar fasciitis pain can also be harmful to your body and overall health.

Visits to the chiropractor for back and neck pain are common. Once you have found relief from pain, you may wish to no longer schedule chiropractic appointments. But principled chiropractors, like Dr. Ronnie at Vital Life Chiropractic, know that time and repetition with consistent chiropractic care will benefit you and your health both now and well into the future. Chiropractic care is more than just a quick fix. Pain or injury may come about at any time due to spinal misalignments, but the actual misalignment and function problem didn’t arise overnight. It has taken years for your body to get to where it is, and it won’t be corrected immediately with just one chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments are more than just a health fad that boasts quick yet temporary relief. Chiropractic care focuses on the central nervous system and the spine and aims to restore proper spinal health over time, leading to more effective function of the central nervous system and the rest of the body. The long-term effects of chiropractic care bring about real restoration to your body functions and true correction of any issues or problems. It will provide relief from multiple ailments and most pains, but it is a long-term and permanent solution rather than a quick fix and short, temporary relief. At Vital Life Chiropractic, Dr. Ronnie Bolar recognizes your desire to live a happy, healthy lifestyle. With the long-term benefits of chiropractic care, you can do just that.

The body’s central nervous system plays a crucial role in keeping us functioning at optimal levels of health. It controls all the other systems in the body, so the health of the central nervous system is vital. It is made up of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves in our body. The nervous system breaks down further into the autonomic nervous system, which controls all the involuntary actions that we do without thinking, such as breathing, digesting, and pumping blood through the body. To break it down even further, the autonomic nervous system is composed of two parts, the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Overall, for the body to work properly, there must be a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the nervous system. If at any point anything is out of whack, it can become a big problem that affects our health and wellness.
Millions of Americans are affected by mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. While mental health problems can range from mild to severe, it is important that treatment is available to all who suffer. Sadly, approximately 11 million Americans don’t get the help they need to treat mental health conditions, which leads to increased instances of self-harm, destructive behaviors, and even suicide. Mental Health Week is this week—October 7-13, and it seeks to bring attention to issues such as depression and anxiety. The goal is to not only decrease the harmful results of mental health problems, but also to rid our nation of the negative and shameful stigmas surrounding mental illnesses. Mental illness truly is an illness just like any other. We wouldn’t dream of shaming those with cancer into feeling bad about themselves, and the same rings true for mental illnesses. This week focuses on helping others know they are not alone and guiding and encouraging them to find the help they need. Unbeknownst to many, chiropractic care is a 
With ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affecting nearly 6 million children and countless adults across the country, more and more research has been done in an effort to understand these two related disorders. Because of their far-reaching impacts, ADD and ADHD are the most prevalent pediatric disorders. But how do you know if your child is truly suffering from ADD or ADHD and how do you know what can you do to help them? Sadly, many children are being wrongfully diagnosed, as over-diagnosis has become a big problem. But when unwanted and unexplainable behaviors occur, parents want answers and results. Sometimes they find these answers from doctors who are quick to prescribe medication before digging deeper to treat the root cause of these behaviors. Prescription medications aren’t always the answer. Overmedicating children can often cause problems later in life as these children become overmedicated adults, only leading to bigger and more significant concerns. Before turning to medication that can cause serious side effects, seek a natural and safe method for ADD and ADHD management from a Lithia Springs pediatric chiropractor.
