Chronic illness

A  chronic condition is a physical or mental health condition that lasts more than one year and causes functional restrictions or requires   ongoing monitoring or treatment. Chronic diseases are among the most  prevalent and costly health  conditions in the United States. Nearly  half (approximately 45%, or 133  million) of all Americans suffer from  at least one chronic disease.  

Chronic  diseases—including, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke,  heart  disease, respiratory diseases, arthritis, obesity, and oral   diseases—can lead to hospitalization, long-term disability, reduced   quality of life, and death.  More than two thirds of all deaths are  caused by one or more of these  five chronic diseases: heart disease,  cancer, stroke, chronic  obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes.

A  recent Milken Institute analysis determined that treatment of the seven  most common chronic diseases coupled with productivity losses will cost  the U.S. economy more than $1 trillion dollars annually.  Furthermore,  compared with other developed nations, the U.S. has ranked  poorly on  cost and outcomes. This is predominantly because of our  inability to  effectively manage chronic disease

Chronic  illness can be prevented!  Your genes do not have to be your life  sentence.  Epigenetics states that your genes can be turned off by your  choices, your environment and by controlling inflammation.

Through  chiropractic adjustments, diet, exercise, supplements, stress  management and avoiding toxins you can avoid inflammation and chronic  illness!
