I joined ilovekickboxing Omaha West initially to get a solid cardio workout which I could incorporate into my weight training routine. It was more than I could ever have imagined for all it gave back to me. Not only is the entire staff motivational, with great energy, but the classes kicked my core into shape, and little used muscles which obviously hadn't been getting hit during my other workouts were awakened and challenged as well. And no 2 classes are ever the same, so no boring class times here. You have to try it!! ...read more

I went to ILKB expecting to use only the 3 classes they'd offered. I signed up for 6 months after one session. Easily the most fun I've had working out in years. My cardio, strength, and balance have increased significantly, the schedule is varied enough to accommodate my overnight work schedule, and the staff are superb. Highest recommendations. ...read more

Your spine plays a crucial role in your overall health and well being. It is the backbone (no pun intended) of your central nervous system, which affects virtually every facet of your body. Therefore, if your spine isn’t healthy, there’s no doubt that you will experience several adverse effects. Regular chiropractic care can help to correct issues of the spine, make you feel better, and improve your overall quality of life. Here’s a look at some of the benefits you will be able to enjoy when you see a chiropractor on a regular basis: Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care Reduced stress. When the spine it out of alignment, so is the central nervous system – and your entire skeletal and muscular system. As a result, your entire body will feel out of alignment, which can make you feel a tremendous amount of physical and mental stress. Routine chiropractic care can help to improve the alignment of your spine and decrease your stress levels. Better posture. Regular chiropractic care can correct issues of the spine that lead to slumping and hunching. By aligning the spine, your posture will improve significantly, and you will stand a whole lot taller, stronger, and prouder. Stronger immune system. Regular adjustments from a chiropractor can help to remove subluxations in the spine that prevent the central nervous system from working efficiently. Since the nervous system communicates with the immune system, regular adjustments can improve the communication between both systems, thus strengthening your immune system. Better mood. It has been found that routine chiropractic care can significantly help to improve the mood. It helps to balance chemicals within the body that can impact the mood and cause depression and anxiety. Plus, when your spine is in a better position, you just feel better, which automatically improves your mood!

A car accident, even a minor one, can be extremely unnerving. Not only is the incident itself scary, but it can leave you with injuries that cause moderate to debilitating pain. If they aren’t treated properly, those injuries could become a lifelong problem. Even if you’ve only suffered a slight injury, it’s in your best interest to seek chiropractic care after a car accident. Here’s a look at how chiropractic care can be a beneficial treatment option for injuries related to an auto accident. Chiropractic Care After A Car AccidentReduced Inflammation Many injuries that occur in car accidents cause soft tissue damage. Ligaments and muscles can be torn, and that type of damage can’t be seen in an X-ray. Not only will a chiropractor be able to accurately diagnose soft tissue damage, but Dr. Baker will be able to provide the treatment that’s necessary to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up recovery time. Scar Tissue Treatment It’s not uncommon for scar tissue to develop after a car accident injury. Scar tissue can lead to stiffness and pain. It can also reduce mobility. A chiropractor can target the damage and break up the scar tissue, preventing it from becoming a serious problem. Non-Invasive Treatment If you don’t receive prompt and proper treatment for your car accident injuries, your risk of needing surgery in the future increases. With chiropractic care, your injuries can be treated quickly and prevent the need for surgery. Natural Pain Relief Medication can help to ease the pain of car accident injuries, but it isn’t a long-term solution. Pain pills mask the pain but don’t treat the root of the problem. A chiropractic doctor can provide the treatment that is necessary to ease your pain and prevent you from having to rely on medications.

A chiropractor is a health care professional that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular conditions. Chiropractors typically treat musculoskeletal and neuromuscular types of conditions, which includes: herniated discs low back pain sciatica whiplash neck pain headaches Making an appointment with a chiropractor is the entry point into the health care system for relief of your pain. The purpose of chiropractic treatment is not only to relieve pain, but to improve quality of life by alleviating systemic problems relating to muscles and the central nervous system. Let’s take a look at reasons why you should see a chiropractor?Wellness and Prevention Chiropractic procedures manipulate the spine and entail a variety of procedures which treat underlying health problems. For instance, decompression exercises improve sleeping habits and have no known side effects. Gastrointestinal Issues: Gut complaints are some of the most commonly reported problems which affect all ages in today’s society and are due to systemic concerns. Colic, persistent constipation, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be detected in infants to older adults and have likely affected you some time in your life. Irritable bowel syndrome is the most widespread condition worldwide. Cancer: Education teaches all, especially cancer patients, how to improve wellness and prevent future occurrences or a secondary cancer. Chiropractic therapy focuses on some of the first common symptoms of cancer: musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction as well as chronic headaches. In fact, 70% of advanced cancer patients, including those with cancer of the lungs, thyroid, breasts, kidney, and prostate have metastasized cancer in the skeletal system. Chiropractic treatment has also been shown to improve healing in cancer patients, as opposed to medication and other conventional therapies. Alleviates Allergies and Asthma Both chiropractors and parents of children suffering from allergies such as asthma support the positive results of chiropractic treatment. Studies also support that chiropractic therapy benefits patients by decreasing the amount of medication needed. They suffer fewer asthma attacks and report an overall lessening of symptoms leading to an improved quality of life. Pregnancy Throughout pregnancy, many women experience chronic back pain due to the changing weight distribution on the pelvis and joints. Pain and muscle spasms may increase the likelihood that a pregnant mother will struggle during labor and delivery. Chiropractic treatment focuses on balancing the muscles, pelvis, and ligaments during pregnancy to relieve pressure on the uterus. This treatment increases the likelihood that the child will be born via a preferable position while lowering the risk of being born through cesarean section. Mitigates Chronic Pain Low back pain affects more than 10% of the population globally, and is the most common occupational injury in the United States and Canada. North America ranks low back pain sixth amongst contributing factors for increased medical cost. Compared to conventional health management practices, chiropractic care is low cost and improves the healing of the entire body. Doctors of chiropractic also focus on education, which is critical to reducing injuries, disability, care costs, and adverse side effects. Chiropractic therapy is also a patient preference for providing pain relief. Weakens Dependence on Medication and Medical Interventions There has been a 65% increase in patients seeking spinal treatment over an 8 year period, contributing to a significant rise in healthcare costs. However, approximately 96% of people with low back pain can find relief without surgery. This could lead to a remarkable lowering of costs. Chronic pain is on the rise. The first line of treatment most individuals turn to for pain relief involves medication. Tens of thousands of people consuming drugs like acetaminophen and oxycodone have reported injuries and deaths directly resulting from drug use. Drugs have adverse side effects unlike chiropractic care. Reduces Headaches Do you have frequent headaches? Do you find that headaches dramatically impact your health and ability to maintain the lifestyle you want? Neck pressure and movement can exacerbate the severity of headaches caused by abnormal head positioning such as hunching over at a computer during the work day. Chiropractic therapy can remove obstructing structures causing the tightness in the back and strain on the spine. Receiving chiropractic care is an effective way to limit the occurrence of headaches, and lessen the intensity when they do occur. Elevates Sports Performance Both athletes and non-athletes can benefit from sports-specific chiropractors. These specialized doctors have a focus on manipulating joints, soft tissue, and the spine to improve recovery time and prevent injury of strains, sprains, and even concussions. Chiropractors can teach you how to focus on the proper techniques for the sport you play. This will include stretching techniques which can reduce the occurrence of an injury, the severity of an injury, and a recommended rehabilitation time frame for healing.
