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.

Osteoarthritis affects over 30 million US adults. Osteoarthritis is caused by damage to cartilage between bones. Degeneration stars at age 40. No one is immune. Chiropractic can reduce cause of degeneration. Find out how. But first…

The risk factors for Osteoarthritis:

·        Joint injury or overuse

·        Age

·        Gender (women more than men over 50)

·        Obesity

·        Genetics

·        Race (Some Asian populations have a lower risk for OA)

Osteoarthritis can cause severe joint pain swelling and stiffness. “It feels like hip replacement is broken or knee gives way.” Reduced mobility. Reduced function and disability. 1 Watch for further structural misalignment subluxation continuous health problems and mounting health conditions. More pain. But here’s the good news…

Chiropractors focus on the relationships between structure and function, explains Robert Hayden DC, PHD, a spokesperson for the American Chiropractic Association who has been in private practice for 22 years…If the structure of a joint is not right then it can’t work as it was designed. “The place where chiropractic really shines is in maximizing the function of the arthritic joint,” he adds. “Our goal is to restore function so they can have the kind of life they want.” And…

Chiropractors Do More than Adjustments

Dr. Hayden agrees that inflamed joints should be “off-limits,” but notes that chiropractors offer several adjunctive therapies that can help.

·        Ultrasound.

·        Electrotherapy.

·        Low-level Laser or “cold-laser.”

·        Infrared sauna

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...

A study published in The Spine Journal reviewed multiple studies and found spinal manipulation, commonly utilized by doctors of chiropractic, is an effective option for chronic low back pain, reducing pain and disability compared to exercise and other strategies. Another study, this one published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, concluded that LBP patients who received chiropractic care were 55 percent less likely to fill an opioid pain prescription than patients who did not receive chiropractic care.

Chiropractic: good for low back pain and a solution for the opioid epidemic. Now that's a win-win for patients in pain and the health care system in general. (3)
