The past decade has increasingly taught us the importance of mental health as the need for depression therapy is on the rise among the newer generations. This deep understanding of our emotions and handling them in a healthy way is no different to kids. Many psychologists say that emotion-coached kids tend to experience fewer negative feelings or emotional instability when they grow, which helps them a lot with mental health management and self-regulation.

For those new to this topic, emotion coaching helps parents use moments of heightened emotions and resulting behaviour in children to teach and guide how to respond to them effectively. In simple terms, this is about helping your children understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions and guiding them to how to handle them with empathy, respect, and values towards a sustainable solution.

As children grow, emotional coaching helps them attain new skills that will encourage them to love, serve, and be more comfortable with their feelings and learn how to express and handle them in constructive ways. One of the primary benefits of emotional coaching is helping your children cope with negative feelings properly; here is how it works.

Facilitates Awareness

The first step in helping children cope with negative feelings is having awareness. Parents who are good at emotional coaching tend to prioritise how their children feel. They consider their children’s feelings valuable and are more vigilant about negative emotions like sadness, anger, and fear. This awareness helps parents discover the source of heightened emotions, especially negative ones, either by reaching out for an open conversation or through thorough observation.

Creates A Close Bond With Parents

Emotion coaching teaches parents how to get close to their children during times of need and learn more about them. This connectivity and closeness allow parents to logically understand their child’s negative emotions and learn about them more constructively. Usually, a child’s negative feelings are more likely to go away when they talk about them, label them, and feel understood. This prevents this feeling from levelling up to other extreme levels, which can make coping difficult. It also makes you the first option for them to open up about their negative emotions in the future, which will not leave them lost or stranded all by themselves.

Validates Their Feelings With Empathy

A key method to help your kids cope with negative feelings is to be empathetic and understanding of their emotions. Validating your child’s feelings before suggesting corrections, even if they are at fault, can go a long way in helping them adapt self-regulation when dealing with negativity.

Beginning by saying you’re at fault or making a mistake can let your children never open up to you again. It can also lead to other potential causes like isolation and depression as they feel unsupported.

Share an example from your own life or a similar experience you have heard elsewhere, and letting them believe these feelings are normal is key in helping kids get through the negative phase and look ahead with positivity. In addition, it allows them to use this understanding to handle negative emotions even better in the future.

Solution-Oriented

One of the many reasons children find it challenging to address or get over negative feelings or experiences is not knowing how to or not having the proper guidance. Here is where you, as a parent, can set limits to inappropriate behaviour and let them evaluate what else they could do through emotion-coaching. Or if there is anything that is particularly bothering them, suggest options on how they can face and overcome them. It’s very important to listen to what solutions your child has in mind, even if they may not be workable. The more they express, the easier it is for them to cope with their negative feelings and quickly recover from them.

Likewise, when learned from a professional life coach, emotional coaching can teach parents a holistic approach to parenting that allows them to guide their children on how to cope with negative emotions with a solution-oriented mind. All in all, this practice helps kids develop and reform their capacity and mental stability to handle negative feelings, emotions, and experiences better in the future.

Your diet is one of the key promoters of a healthy pregnancy. It is a factor that significantly impacts your baby’s growth and development. Surprisingly during pregnancy, the basic principles of eating right- stay the same. This includes getting plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. However, there are a few nutrients in a pregnancy diet that deserve some special attention. In this article, we have put together a list of nutrients that should top the pregnancy diet plan as per our nutritionists at the Wellness Centre In Dubai.

Protein

This is a type of nutrient that doctors usually recommend to include in the range of 10%-12%in a balanced diet, and it’s no less for an expecting mother. Protein is a crucial nutrient that ensures the healthy growth of a baby’s tissues and organs, including the brain.

And for the mother, proteins help with breast and uterine tissue growth during pregnancy. They also significantly increase blood supply, allowing more blood to be delivered to your baby.

Ideally, your protein needs and intake should increase during each trimester. You will need to include about 70-100g of protein each day, depending on your weight and trimester. Your nutritionist will tell you how to increase your protein intake each trimester gradually. Good sources of protein include; lean beef, chicken, salmon, nuts, peanut butter, cottage cheese and beans.

Calcium

This is the primary nutrient source that builds your baby’s bones and teeth. It also helps to boost muscle, heart, and nerve development. Similarly, for the mother, calcium regulates the body’s use of fluids and is still necessary for your teeth and bones.

Expecting mothers need at least 1000mg of calcium everyday. Besides that, you may also require additional calcium to supplement regular prenatal vitamins.

Some good sources of calcium to consume during pregnancy include milk, yoghurt, cheese, low-mercury fish and seafood, such as salmon, shrimp, catfish, canned light tuna, calcium-set tofu, dark green, and leafy vegetables.

Folate

Also known as folic acid, Folate is a type of nutrient that significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects. These defects can affect a baby’s brain and spines, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Therefore, it is generally recommended that expecting mothers take at least 400-800 mcg of folic acid daily. Liver, nuts, dried beans and lentils, eggs, peanut butter, and dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of Folate to include in a pregnancy diet.

Iron

Generally, iron works with sodium, potassium, and water to increase blood flow. This helps to ensure enough oxygen is supplied to you and the baby. Expecting mothers should get at least 27mg of iron daily, along with Vitamin C, to increase absorption. Dark green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, enriched bread or cereals, lean beef and poultry, and eggs are excellent sources of iron to include in your pregnancy diet.

However, remember that usually, it’s quite challenging to get these nutrients from diet alone. So make sure to speak to your doctor or nutritionist about what prenatal vitamins might help you maintain a healthy balance of proteins in your diet during pregnancy.

Over the years, many studies have shown that pilates is an effective method for rehabilitation. It is a type of physical therapy that uses pilates principles to help patients recover from injuries and improve their overall physical health.

One of the prominent features of this pilates rehabilitation is that it can take an individual from the early stages of rehab to a fully conditioned and functioning body in the long run, allowing them to return to their normal lifestyle without any restrictions- and prevent the risk of future injuries. Here are some primary ways rehabilitative pilates makes this possible through an interesting body-mind connection.

Increases Core Strength

If you know a few things about pilates, you are aware it is famously known for its emphasis on the body core, which is the centre of the body from where all movements stem – So its nickname is “the powerhouse.”. Core muscles and control are essential for everyday movement, even for basic things like walking, standing and running.

RehabpPilates strengthens the core muscles for improved control, so your body does not have to overcompensate for inefficient movements resulting from injuries. It helps to regain your stability and balance, making you function efficiently while reducing the probability of future injuries.

Improves Cognitive Functioning And Motor Learning

The basic application of pilates principles, in general, improves cognitive functioning mainly in the form of increasing blood flow to the brain, increasing neurotransmitters, and also the longevity of neurons responsible for learning, memory, and executive thinking.

Similarly, rehabilitation pilates takes its own steady and slow way in making you better aware of your body’s alignment and positioning. It involves a lot of dynamic exercises which elongate and strengthen the muscles.

It gives your muscles a more extensive range of motions that promotes stability while reducing stiffness and plaguing in the body. This is where the motor learning process occurs, taking you from the stiff, awkward cognitive stage to the expert stage, where fluid movement seems to occur automatically.

Reduces Stress and Speeds Up The Healing Process

Recovering from an injury is a long journey that doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a right mind-and-body connection to motivate you to have a positive outlook on this process. Continuing from the benefit of body awareness, rehabilitation pilates allows inward focus, and using breath techniques from pilates deregulates the nervous system.

This helps take your body out of the fight-or-flight mode, lower cortisol (stress hormones), and thereby reduce stress. In addition, reducing this stress built up in your mind makes it easy to acknowledge the recovery process and keep yourself motivated throughout the phase.

Active Rehabilitative Approach Than Some Passive Physical Therapy Methods

Due to pilate’s rehabilitative nature, many find more injury recovery success in this approach than in passive physical therapy methods. With pilates, it’s very easy to adapt the forms of training to best suit your recovery requirements, then physical therapies, which are often restrictive.

Rehabilitative pilates is also a whole-body exercise routine, whereas physical therapy targets only the injured area of the body. This comprehensive approach allows pilates to improve the body’s capacity to prevent future injuries.

Rehabilitative pilates is designed by a physiotherapist or your pilates coach depending on your injury, its condition, and what approach it needs towards sustainable recovery. However, preparing your body to prevent future injuries is a general part of a standard rehab pilates program, especially if you’re an athlete.

With time the accumulative effects of wear and tear tend to impact our capacity to move as we once did. When this happens, it may be challenging to continue everyday tasks, even like picking things up off the floor or buckling the shoes. Thankfully chiropractic care can improve your flexibility and range through different non-invasive, drug-free forms.

A study in the Journal of Chiropractic & Manual Therapies revealed that chiropractic adjustments improve cervical range of motion for those who lost a normal range of motion between vertebrates in their spine. Another similar study, in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, found that chiropractic care improves the range of motion in the neck. Both these studies also concluded that having regular chiropractic maintenance can help you improve and maintain your range of motion and flexibility in the long run.

Here are some common methods through which a chiropractor can improve your range of motion and flexibility.

Manipulation

We all have a natural alignment in our body that promotes better movement, range of motion, and flexibility. However, when this alignment is disturbed or altered because of repetitive movements, posture, inflammation or even injuries, it can interrupt the range of motion in your entire body. The manipulation method is used to restore these states of misalignment.

Depending on your condition, these manipulations can be done manually or using other techniques like ultrasound, trigger point therapy, electrical (non-invasive) stimulation or cold laser therapy.

Exercises

Your chiropractor can assess your condition and guide you towards mobilizing your restricted joints with stretches and exercises like those in physical therapy. Depending on your lifestyle and any other repetitive movement you’re engaged in, these exercises can also promote healing by strengthening the part of the body that may be at a high risk of injury. They can also help you to strengthen the muscles you frequently use to prevent injuries.

Chiropractic exercises aim to relax your muscles and allow them to open up to do more. When your muscles are relaxed, it becomes easier to get a wide range of motion in your daily lifestyle and sports activities. Most importantly, it helps you work out more efficiently, with less restrictions.

Chiropractic Massages

Usually, stiffness and reduced range of motion are experienced from tight and irritated muscles. Using already strained muscles will only further reduce the restricted range of motion. A chiropractor can give you a soft tissue massage that can relax muscles and boost blood circulation.

It can alleviate stress and tension in tightened muscles, which may be triggering restricted motions. These massages can also correct muscle imbalances and improve the range of motion in the spine and shoulders.

Similarly, chiropractic massages can also correct poor postures that contribute significantly to restricted motion, improving mobility and flexibility.

Which method works for you best will be chosen by your physiotherapist or chiropractor after a thorough examination of your lifestyle and other chiropractic conditions you may be experiencing. Maintaining your range of motion and flexibility through healthy chiropractic interventions can help you function optimally into the golden years.

A diet rich in colourful fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds- also known as a “Plant-based diet”- has recently become so popular for many beneficial reasons. One such benefit is the amazing healthy changes it brings to your skin to perform its functions effectively with optimal nutrients. Find out why a plant-based diet may just be the upgrade you need for your skincare.

Improves Skin Texture And Tone

A strict plant-based diet uses different alternatives for dairy products. This frees their diet from animal products, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, cream, and butter. Cutting out dairy products from your diet naturally improves skin texture, tone, and stubborn skin conditions like acne.

A study also showed that consuming a plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables helped people with psoriasis improve their symptoms significantly. A professional nutritionist can help you develop a healthy plant-based diet that includes suitable alternatives for dairy products.

Gives A Glowing Skin

Plant-based foods are richer in vitamins and minerals than animal products which help you achieve beautiful glowing skin. This has been found in a study where people who consumed fruit and vegetable smoothies every day for six weeks developed a unique “food tan”, giving the skin an extra glow.

Protects Skin Integrity

The rich profile of vitamins and minerals in a plant-based diet functions as cofactors that aid enzymes and antioxidants in fighting free radical damage. They also help in keeping the immune system strong to enhance skin healing properties. Similarly, the high zinc ratio in a plant-based diet, especially with the addition of legumes, is beneficial for inflammatory acne, related scarring and, most importantly, for maintaining skin integrity.

Better Structural Support To The Skin

Plant-based foods are rich in bioactive compounds, including vitamin C, E, beta-carotene, polyphenols, and phenolic acids, which all function as antioxidants that promote better structural support to the skin. In turn, this prevents saggy skin, tightens loose skin and gives a more toned, fresh, and youthful appearance to the skin, especially the face. In addition, a firm skin structure minimises signs of ageing, like wrinkles, freckles, fine lines, creases, folds, and ridges.

Protects Against Sun Damage and Skin Cancer

Although it may be surprising to know a plant-based diet can provide additional sun protection to diligent sunscreen use and other protective clothing – thanks to the naturally occurring sun protective compounds in plants.

Fruits and vegetables have a lush supply of phytochemicals and other antioxidant compounds that effectively reduce the amount of skin damage caused by the sun. These effects have been beneficial in reducing the risk of skin cancer as well.

For example, grapes and berries are rich in resveratrol, a natural phytochemical that acts as an antioxidant to reduce skin cancer risks. Tomatoes, on the other hand, are rich in an antioxidant called lycopene, which is beneficial in reducing the skin’s sensitivity to sunburns.

When experiencing any injuries, we all turn to physiotherapy, especially to assist us through a recovery journey. But what you probably didn’t know is that along with helping people heal, physiotherapy can also prevent injuries from occurring altogether in the long term.

Particularly if you’re training for a sport where you use the same set of muscles or engage in repetitive tasks that strain a specific area of the body, they can easily cause injuries. Injured muscles, in turn, can lead to pain, stiffness, cramps, and discomfort in carrying out simple day-to-day activities. This is where we can help you through different physiotherapy interventions.

A Systematic Review For Injury Prevention

As a physiotherapist, we can assess your lifestyle, medical history, or any other previous injuries to come up with a customised plan to minimise the chances of facing any injuries in the future. While we can help you restore mobility and strength in any previously affected areas, we also focus in improving your recovery capacity in case you face any injuries.

If you’re an athlete or someone who engages in any other repetitive physical activity, we will systematically review the nature of the activity and the common injuries associated with them to recommend an appropriate plan to avoid these overuse injuries in the long run.

Injury prevention in physiotherapy can be beneficial in the workplace as well. This is where professional physio like us can assess the nature of your job, especially for those in manual labour settings and reduce the likelihood of developing chronic pain and avoid injuries during the working period.

Approaches And Methods

There are many varieties of preventive health programs that are covered under preventative physiotherapy to best suit your lifestyle, medication condition, health or fitness goals, or any other specific needs. Some include fitness testing and exercise program design, cardiovascular exercise programs, weight/diabetes management programs, sport-specific conditioning, fall prevention, prevention and management of injury in the workplace, pre-operative rehabilitation for joint replacement/reconstruction surgery and pre-operative rehabilitation for general surgery.

Normally we perform physiotherapy interventions for injury prevention in the following ways:

Education

We can educate you about the common injuries relating to the type of repetitive activity, sport, or workplace tasks you are involved in. This helps make you understand its underlying causes and the trigger point. We then recommend suitable exercises, treatments, and therapies that can assist you in preventing them. This includes educating you on the different daily measures you need to follow.

Exercises

Exercise is a crucial element in physiotherapy. Preventative physiotherapy exercises can help you focus on strengthening your muscles, tendons, and soft tissues to improve mobility and balance. The benefits of these exercises give you the capacity to prevent the risk of encountering injuries and speed recovery ability.

Massage Therapy

We often use massage therapy in preventative physiotherapy to stimulate muscles, nerves, and soft tissues to promote healing with improved mobility and strength. It also helps to relieve tension from any stressed area of the body, thereby reducing the possibility of injuries.

Posture Training

Depending on your sport, work, or any other daily repetitive tasks, we can educate and train you on healthy postures and body positioning, to avoid the development of pain and stress and reduce the likelihood of facing injuries in the long run.

According to popular wisdom, everybody knows prevention is better than cure, which is why achieving a healthy physical state is in prevention itself. Talk to a professional physiotherapist about the preventative measures you might need to take depending on your medical history, living or working environment, and lifestyle.

For those unaware, physiotherapy encompasses rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health promotion or fitness. It takes a holistic approach to healing by looking at your lifestyle and customising an appropriate treatment.

Recently dry needling has become an interesting inclusion in physiotherapy that proves particularly beneficial to those who are sensitive to pain medications or for those whose pain levels have not improved even after many sessions of other forms of physiotherapy. Here are five such interesting benefits of dry needling in physiotherapy.

Relieves Pain

One of the main motives of physiotherapy is pain relief. Dry needling targets trigger points in specific areas of the body, which performs as an effective way to reduce pain. For example, if you have shoulder or neck pain, your physio will insert needles into these trigger points. The needles will then release tension, inflammation, chemicals, and pressure in these muscles that cause the pain. The result of this needle positioning is that it leads to an improved range of motion along with immediate pain relief.

Improves Range of Motion

For an athlete who constantly moves, having fluid movement and a full range of motion is key to success. For example, if you’re a baseball player, the sport expects you to have a full range of motion in your shoulder to successfully throw a baseball. However, when you’re constantly throwing the baseball, you tend to unintentionally put a lot of stress on the shoulders, which tightens the muscles, restricting your range of motion.

Dry needling targeted at your shoulder muscles can reduce this pain and discomfort, relax tension, and improve the overall range of motion in the area. Relaxed muscles can also help you engage your body muscles much more comfortably in your sport or any other activity.

Relaxes Tight Muscles

Tight muscles can sometimes stop or restrict you from moving or performing certain movements. Tight muscles can cause pain and discomfort in your daily routine, and having multiple trigger points can severely limit mobility. Inactive muscles, in turn, can weaken and lose mass.

Dry needling reduces muscle tension by easing soreness, tendonitis and inflammation. A specially trained physiotherapist can combine physical therapy with dry needling to relax muscles and fully restore mobility. It can also restrain muscle tension and prevent future trigger points.

Speeds Up Recovery

The recovery process is the most challenging and time-consuming part of experiencing an injury, than the treatment itself. This is one of the main reasons people seek physiotherapy post-injury as well. While some injuries may take longer recovery periods, dry needling supports quick pain relief and improved range of motion compared to other alternative treatment options.

It does this by improving blood circulation, which carries away painful acidic waste and allows your muscles to receive the required oxygen and nutrients they need to heal. Depending on the severity and number of trigger points, you may need one or several sessions to achieve optimum relief.

Improves Chronic Pain Conditions

Dry needling eases two chronic pain conditions; myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. Myofascial pain syndrome is when trigger points develop in the fascia, a casing of connective tissue that surrounds and supports all the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and organs.

Fibromyalgia is when there is widespread pain and tenderness all over the body, alongside sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress. This pain affects how you move, causing trigger points.

People having both myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia can see significant improvements in the condition of their pain through dry needling, which is considered one of the ideal treatments for this chronic condition.

Careers are more than just financial stability. They are one of the foundations of our growth, and are detrimental for our overall satisfaction, productivity, and happiness. With that, so many of us opt to make big career changes from time to time, trying to find a job that is most satisfying – one that provides endless advancement opportunities which can range from company culture and environment to workload, professional growth, and benefits. However, before committing to a change of career, you will most likely prefer to be certain that the decisions you are making are right in order to truly serve your purpose. With this, it is essential that you know certain things, such as:

 

The Root Cause

Before starting with a career change, one of the most essential things you should know is the root cause – the “why” behind your plan. Being drawn to the idea of changing careers can make you thrilled and hesitant at the same time, causing you to make decisions based merely on your current outlook without considering other important factors in your life.

By knowing the root cause of your desire for a career change, you can analyze all factors that can affect both your present and future. Ask yourself whether you can potentially avoid the problems you have been experiencing in your previous job, and whether the new career you are opting to transfer to can make you satisfied over the long term. This can be a helpful headstart as you weigh the pros and cons of staying and changing – all to ensure that you are making the most advantageous choice.

 

What Your Emotions are Saying

As noted by Dr. Herbert Simon, an American Nobel Laureate scientist, we have to understand what role does emotion play in order to completely understand the theory of human rationality. This clearly manifests that determining the root cause of your decision for a career change alone is not enough, you must also ascertain the driving emotion behind it. In your career, you will face many emotional challenges that can influence your decisions, such as problems with your manager, coworker, or client, or even the lack of motivation. These may cause you to have an emotional bias, which can be potentially transformed into actionable feelings.

Having emotional awareness will allow you to improve your decision making ability that can help you determine whether or not this career change you desire is driven by rationality or by temporary emotions. Engaging with an emotional coach in Dubai for this can help you gain clarity and improve your emotional intelligence that can potentially influence your career decisions.

 

Your Passion

Being happy with your career and loving what you do has the possibility of enhancing your overall performance and satisfaction. In fact, according to experts, those who are passionate about their professions are more likely to be motivated, optimistic, and productive as they enjoy what they do.

In opting for a career change, therefore, ask yourself whether the new job you are looking into can make you feel fully focused and creative. This will define your overall success and satisfaction over the long term, helping you complete even tedious tasks and conquer even the most challenging events in your career over the long term.

 

The Takeaway

Making a change in your career may involve a lot of considerations crucial to ensure that you work according to what makes you happy, while providing for your emotional and financial needs. This process can be confusing, yet thrilling at the same time. Make sure that you make the right choices with the help of a life coach in Dubai who can help you devise a clear path towards your goals. For more information, reach out to The Hundred.

One of the most essential factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle is a healthy diet. However, for a nice, healthy meal, you don’t need to detach from the pleasures of eating. In fact, with the right ingredients, they can be tasty too, but with less fat and oil and more nutrients and vitamins. 

Whether you’re trying to engage in a new diet for a healthier lifestyle, looking for new recipes that can help you add a new flavor to your palette, or simply wanting to easily determine whether the food you are buying or making is good for your health, here are the ways on how you can tell whether a recipe is healthy.

 

Spot Healthy and Unhealthy Ingredients on the Recipe

One of the best ways to tell whether a recipe is healthy is by looking at its ingredients. Make sure that you avoid sugar and salt, as they both are some of the common ingredients added for taste. While too much sugar can cause weight gain and diabetes, too much salt can cause high blood pressure which can lead to heart attack and stroke according to studies. 

Better alternatives for these are using naturally flavored ingredients. For sweets, you can use fruits, such as bananas and applesauce. On the other hand, the best alternatives for salt as a flavor enhancer are herbs, garlic and onion, and even citrus fruits. These alternatives contain vitamins and minerals that can help you combat sicknesses and strengthen your immune system.

 

Scan for Processed Ingredients

Some use processed ingredients in recipes, such as canned fruits, and even preserved corn, meat, and vegetables, as they are convenient. Being easily bought and used, they reduce meal preparation time and last longer for storage. Commonly, these are used by people wanting to start a healthier diet, but do not have the time to do so. According to experts, not only do these contain too much sugar, sodium, and fat, but they are also lacking in nutritional value.

Instead of these, opt for recipes that use fresh produce, as well as those alternatives containing lower fat. These options will allow you to truly optimize your diet, supplying you with all the vitamins and minerals you need without compromising your health.

 

Healthy Cooking Method – A Must

A healthy cooking method not only uses less fat, but it also preserves the nutrients and natural flavor of the ingredients without sacrificing taste. Choose recipes that involve roasting, sautéing, baking, grilling, steaming, boiling, or stewing rather than deep-frying. If deep-frying is absolutely necessary, stir-fry the ingredients in healthy oils such as olive oil or walnut oil, both of which contain healthy fats. You can also fry with a pastry brush using only a small amount of oil.

 

Eating Healthy in Dubai

If you are from a past-paced environment like the UAE, you may find yourself lacking time to prepare healthy meals, or even looking into the ingredients of recipes and assessing whether or not they are good for you. You can make this easier by opting to order and eat at a healthy cafe in Dubai like 100 Cafe – where everything is freshly prepared and ensured nutritious for you.

At some point, all of us will encounter age-related physical changes that are unavoidable, among them are muscle changes and loss of bone tissue. These may cause us to become easily fatigued as we get older, reducing our capacity to engage in physical activity and increasing our risk for accidents and falls. However, according to experts, these factors can be avoided through simple exercises, especially with the help of a chiropractor in Dubai. Chiropractors can help you slow the rate of bone tissue loss and maintain the flexibility of your joints through bespoke techniques that aim to alleviate your pain.

If you are wondering whether you need to start seeing a chiropractor in Dubai and avoid the effects that ageing has over your physical capacities, here are the signs that you need to see one:

 

Suffering From Joint and Muscle Pains

Among the common causes of joint pains are muscle overuse, along with previous injuries, being overweight, and even poor health. These, along with ageing, are common among adults as they tend to work and exercise more, become exposed to chronic medical conditions, and experience stress. A chiropractor is trained to identify the root issues that may be causing your body aches. They use spinal manipulations in order to increase blood flow to these parts of the body and eventually, alleviate muscle and joint pains.

 

Experiencing Frequent Headaches and Migraines

There can be several causes for headaches and migraines among adults, such as stress, changes in sleep schedule, fatigue, and medications. As you partake in your day-to-day schedule trying to balance your career and personal life, you may find yourself constantly exposed to these factors, making it inevitable for you to experience their dreadful symptoms. Although it is advisable to see a doctor for diagnosis, chiropractors can help you alleviate headaches and migraines by improving your blood flow to increase the amount of oxygen supplied to your brain. They can also recommend the right diet and routine for you to improve your overall health while preventing the symptoms of headache and migraine over the long term.

 

Range of Motion Becomes Limited

Your range of motion may be limited due to several factors, such as joint problems and muscle stiffness. As you grow older, you may find yourself constantly exposed to these factors, limiting your movement and flexibility. Oftentimes, you may also find yourself unable to perform basic activities, such as doing household chores, bending, sitting, and standing. With the help of a chiropractor, you can bring back your body’s normal range of motion to help you function at optimum capacity as you engage in adjustments that realign your bones and joints and relieve pains in your muscles.

 

Live a More Healthful Life With the Help of a Chiropractor

Although the signs of ageing are inevitable, you can always minimise and prevent their symptoms with the right exercises, diet, and routines – all of which can be provided by a chiropractor. They can help you alleviate pains and aches, while helping you engage in a healthier lifestyle through techniques that can enhance your overall body functions.
