Inflammation and Chiropractic

Inflammation a direct response to infection and injury. Inflammation causes pain. Progressive inflammation leads to more pain.  Chronic pain.  Discover how to reduce inflammation. But first…

Inflammation is the leading cause of disability.

Inflammation is the enemy. Pain is often caused by inflammation from natural degeneration of the body. Aging causes inflammation naturally. And natural degeneration begins at 40. No one’s immune. Pain erupts when the body goes out of whack. When the structure gets misaligned. When the spinal column gets damaged. And the central nervous system is compromised. And don’t discount earlier illness disease or injuries. Even childhood trauma of any kind. The younger body heals repair s and rehabilitates easier.  The past comes back to haunt you…But you’re never too old for pain relief better health and rehabilitation. Avoid inflammation at all cost.

Back Surgery -- Last Resort

Causes of back pain start early. Silently. Most commonly in the lower back. The silent killer progresses. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year. Then Bang. Excruciating radiating pain.  Back surgery—Not so fast! Let me explain…

Back pain is one of the most common health complaint among adults in the United States. One half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year. 1 Furthermore…

In a recent US online survey (Feb. 16 to 27 2017) of 711 respondents 18 years and older where patients suffered at least once per month from back pain were asked one multiple choice question. “Which measure proved the best relief for your back pain?” Their answer:  17% stated treatment by a chiropractor provided the best relief from their back pain. 2

You’re smart. There’s not just one reason for back pain. More than one reason for disease. Confusion. Depression. Immobility. Disability. Vision problems. And the list goes on. But mostly it can be traced back to the spine. The primary source of dysfunction of the central nervous system. The body degenerates at 40. Its structure becomes increasingly unbalanced. The body framework needs to be put right. Aligned.  Impingement and subluxation cause increased inflammation. Pain starts. Increases. Becomes chronic. Unbearable. And your central nervous system is in peril. Don’t let this happen to you. Please be proactive. Don’t wait. Get help.

Please do yourself this favor. Research and read...

All states require chiropractors to have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and pass a certification exam. In addition many chiropractors choose a specialty such as sports injuries or geriatrics.

Hip Replacement

Hip replacements deteriorate. Degeneration breeds misalignment.  Pain increases. Hip replacement surgery and rehabilitation is now performed in younger more active patients. The problem is that deterioration may be faster. Let me explain…

The number of hip replacement surgeries is growing at an estimated rate of 8-10% each year. Approximately 70,000 revision hip replacements are performed every year in the United States.1 Explore how a chiropractor can reduce the pain of misalignment. Read on…

A revision hip replacement replaces a worn out hip replacement surgery. Increased activity level in younger patients with unrestricted activities makes loosening of the prosthesis a greater possibility.  Combined with a high BMI makes the risk even higher. There may be no apparent symptoms for some ears. Then discomfort in the hip or knee escalates. Pain follows. Followed by feeling the hip or knee gives way. Hip Replacements Wear Out because…

·        Aseptic loosening (hip implant becomes loose within the bone)

·        Infection

·        Breaking of the prosthesis

·        Breaking of the bone around the prosthesis

·        Other complications

A problem with revision hip replacement is that the surgery itself can be more complicated. The patient is generally older and effects of surgery are more significant. Therefore the necessary rehabilitation may be more of an obstacle postoperative. Revision hips replacements are generally not as good as the first hip replacement. Quality of the bone. Ability to adequately secure the revision hip replacements into position. More extensive surgery. 2

Researchers are constantly exploring new technologies. But every effort should be made to delay the replacement. Pain relief is near. You’re not alone.

Sciatica Pain Progression

Sciatic nerve pain ranges from uncomfortable to debilitating. Symptoms make it hard to sit stand and walk. And pain is progressive.  Don’t wait until symptoms don’t let you get through the day. Allow me to explain what to look for. But first…

Sciatica has been reported to occur in one to 10 % of the population most commonly in people age 25 to 45. 1

Sciatica can be felt through the entire lower body. Life becomes increasingly challenging. Pain typically progresses in the lower back into buttocks back of the legs and into feet. Symptoms are usually on one side of the body. But both sides can be affected. Maybe you know someone in discomfort or agonizing pain. 2

·        Traveling and shooting pain

·        Tingling burning numbness

·        Muscle weakness and loss of mobility

·        Discomfort near the hip bone or in the glute muscles

·        Difficulty sitting or standing

Sciatica symptoms vary based on where the compressed nerve root is located. Five nerves bundle together to form the sciatic nerve.  This bundle branches out again within the leg to deliver motor and sensory functions to specific destinations in the leg and foot.3 Pain subsides when lying down or walking.  And worsens standing and sitting. And varies from numbness to sharp searing shooting pain. Symptoms of pain may intensify during sudden movements. A mere sneeze or cough changing positions or moving from a sitting to standing position. Don’t be caught by surprise…

Sciatica has alternative treatments to reduce pain. Contact a trusted chiropractor for the cause of sciatic pain symptoms like I did. A painless safe proven natural alternative.  Treat the cause of pain not the symptoms. Pain reduction instantly. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Depression and Chiropractic

Millions of Americans suffer from depression. Mild to severe. When the central nervous system is compromised quality of life is compromised. Welcome to the downhill spiral. But it doesn’t have to be. Let me explain. But first…

A study designed to test the correlation between chiropractic care and its impact on mental health was published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research on June 20, 2013. This study cited prior research that showed of the 2818 patients undergoing chiropractic care, 76% reported an improvement in their mental/emotional health.  As the spine becomes aligned and pain decreases, anxiety and depression sprouting from pain are proven to lessen throughout treatment. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depression at any point in time impacts roughly 3 to 5 percent of all people. (1)  National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255.

Imbalances of the central nervous system cause physiological stress responses… Imbalance stemming from stress and misalignment can cause anxiety. Depression. Add/ADHD and Bipolar Mood Disorders. (2)

 Chiropractic Can Help Break the Cycle by addressing the cause of neurological imbalance. Chiropractic care removes misalignments allowing your body to find balance and optimal function so it’s able to begin the natural healing process. Reduce pain. Sleep better. Think clearer. Return to your activities of daily living. Need to talk to someone right now. Remove the subluxation. Safe. Effective. Specific Adjustments. Get help.

And—you may very well never be aware of anything before it hits you with a bang. The sooner you take preventative action the healthier and happier you’ll be. Let me explain.

A vertebral subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between your brain and your body. It’s a stress response. Muscles go into spasm. Spinal bones lock up. And adjacent nerves are choked or chafed. This interferes with the control and regulation of your body. This garbles communications between the brain and parts of your body.

Distorted nerve communications can be an underlying cause of many health problems beyond just headaches and back pain. And…

Your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. These nerve impulses travel through your spine. So having a spine free of vertebral subluxations is essential for optimal health.

Only a chiropractic examination can detect vertebral subluxations. And only chiropractic adjustments can reduce their effect to your nervous system, naturally. We have one body to work with. And only one chance at life. And…
