In this episode the docs discuss an alternative approach to the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's). The most common treatment for UTI's is antibiotics, and while there may be times when it becomes necessary to use antibiotics, there are also a lot of negative effects that can happen as a result of overuse of antibiotics.We think there is a better way to approach UTI's from a natural stand point in order to get the body functioning better and help the immune system fight off infection on its own. After all, the body was meant to fight off bacteria and viruses every single day. So the question becomes, why isn't the body fighting off a UTI on it's own?Chiropractors are doctors of cause. By getting to the root cause of the symptom and correcting the problem, the body can then return to its natural state of health and homeostasis.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This groundbreaking study in 2015 revealed that Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most effective ways to improve sports performance! In the study, researchers discovered that the maximum muscle contraction after spinal manipulation was increased by almost 60 percent. Furthermore, the force was increased as well, coming in at 16 percent higher than it was pre-treatment. This caused the researchers to conclude that chiropractic "appears to alter the net excitability of the low-threshold motor units, increase cortical drive, and prevent fatigue."Niazi I, Turker KS, Flavel S, et al.

Antihistamines can cause many short-term effects such as urinary retention, constipation, dry mouth, increased appetite, and more serious long-term effects. One study showed a 3.5-fold increase in the risk of gliomas, a common type of brain tumor in patients with long-term antihistamine use for allergic conditions. Decongestants produce vascular effects like an increase in blood pressure, headache, sleeplessness and irritability. Long-term side effects are unknown.Corticosteroids can cause thinning of skin and mucous membranes, discoloration of the skin, and irritation. Used topically they favor absorption into the systemic circulation which can cause disturbance of the normal hormonal levels in the body. Corticosteroid eye drops can cause glaucoma, cataract formation and infection. Inhalers can cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, as well as yeast infections of the mouth.Oral corticosteroids cause still more severe side effects over the long term such as:stomach ulcerationcataract formation (opacity of the eye lenses)osteoporosis (reduced mineral content of bones resulting in weaker fracture-prone bones)muscle weaknesshyperglycemia (abnormally high blood sugar levels)Delayed growth when used in childrenIncreased blood pressureThomas, Liji.
