Stress and Physical Health

Dr. Maryam Jafarieh, DC, of Ft. Lauderdale Chiropractic, is here to help you manage stress through chiropractic care. When under stress, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, which can put the body in a “fight or flight” mode. Chiropractic care focuses on the spine, which is the root of the nervous system. Maintaining a healthy nervous system means having a better functioning body with a better ability to adapt and respond to stress.


Stress is inevitable, however how we react to it and how our body adapts to it and handles stress is of utmost importance. Because of such an intimate relationship between the spine and the nervous system, a healthy and properly aligned spine could lead to better functioning nervous system, and therefore better functioning body, which gives us a better ability to adapt and respond to stress. Chiropractic care allows for a nervous system that functions at a more optimal level and helps our body to better adapt to stress.

The Truth about Back Pain

Eighty percent of people will have significant back pain at some point in their life. Additionally, the discomfort of back pain can be very complex as symptoms vary from individual to individual. If the pain is interfering with your ability to complete your daily activities it is advisable to seek help right away before the pain grows worse. An accurate diagnosis of the source of your back pain requires a consultation with Dr. Maryam Jafarieh, DC of Fort Lauderdale Chiropractic. The back is a complicated structure made up of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. By participating in sports, or even while performing daily activities, you can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can cause back pain. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity and even psychological stress can lead to back pain. Spinal manipulation has been shown to be an effective treatment option for back pain.

Car Accidents and Chiropractic Treatment

Car accidents that aren’t major collisions are too often overlooked by those involved.  More worried about an insurance claim or being late for work, we don’t always stop to assess what damage may have been done to our bodies. Because of the sudden and unnatural movement of a body during a car accident, anyone involved should visit a chiropractor for evaluation. At Dr. Maryam Jafarieh’s chiropractic clinic, we know that some passengers feel the effects of whiplash injuries immediately following an accident, while others may walk away not feeling injured and only experience pain later. This is why a chiropractor should always be consulted. The most common site of pain and stiffness for passengers involved in an accident are the neck and back.  A chiropractor can evaluate these injuries, as well as treat damage to both hard and soft tissue. Depending on a patient’s evaluation the chiropractor may perform an adjustment, or assign exercises to help heal a particular injury.  If you have be

Warm-Ups

We advocate a preventive approach to injuries at Dr. Maryam Jafarieh’s chiropractic office in Fort Lauderdale. When the muscles are strong, they help to keep the back in line and support the weight of other tissues. But when exercising, people should be aware of how to warm-up properly so as not to incur soft-tissue injuries. When muscles have blood flowing into them, they are less likely to fray or tear. For this reason, they should be warmed up using dynamic stretches. Dynamic stretches are those which keep them in motion while people get their heart rates up. Some examples would be arm circles and butt-kicks, as well as yoga routines that put the body through a series of postures. Static stretches are those which require a person to hold a pose while still. These stretches are better saved for the cool-down at the end of a work-out. The warm-up and cool-down should each take about five minutes, with the central portion of the work-out taking at least twenty minutes. Dr. Maryam Jafar
