Osteoarthritis and Chiropractic

Life is good until pain sets in.  Structure of the body breaks down.  Chronic pain increases as degeneration progresses. Reduce health and welfare. Quality of life declines. Discover how to reduce pain. Reduce inflammation. Treat the cause of pain naturally. Listen to the body. Let me explain. But first…

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

…Treating the surrounding tissues may significantly reduce overall pain according to David Feschuk, DC. Do yourself a favor and get help for pain before it ruins you.  Your mobility. Your activities. Your vitality.  Your productivity.  Your mind. Your way of life.  You can help yourself prevent disease immobility and disability. I can help you make a difference. But the bottom line. It’s up to you.

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.

Nervous system Strain

Nervous System Interference Stress Pain and Misalignment

Three big threats causing subluxation are physical trauma chemical trauma and autosuggestion or through trauma. Allow me to explain. But first…

Approximately 20% of nervous system interference can be attributed to physical injuries or poisons from outside the body like a slip fall or overdose according to the founder of Chiropractic DD Palmer. 80% can be traced back to persistent negative emotions or self-talk that literally builds tension in your muscles pull vertebrae out of alignment and freeze your nervous system in its tracks. 1 Don’t let this happen to you. When spinal deterioration advances to the point where symptoms prevent life from being enjoyable.  As we age the anatomical components that support the neck and back will naturally wear down as a result of use. Less flexibility and more neck and back pain result—normal. Degeneration most commonly occurs in the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back) due to undergoing most motion and wear and tear. When spinal deterioration advances to the point that symptoms interfere with regular activity treatment may be warranted. 2  And this doesn’t account for any injuries. I think you might know someone who suffers from…

Chronic Pain

Symptoms of disaster are silent. Misalignment worsens. Pian increases. Ailments are lurking. Be aware. One condition leads to another. Don’t be caught with the consequences of failing health. Let me show you the signs. But first…

Your fellow Americans want to increase mobility vitality and productivity like I do. The doctor says “keep moving” for many reasons. Would you be happy decreasing your pain and what inevitably comes next…

Pain. You feel your movement just isn’t right. Symptoms and health get worse sooner than later. “I was in bad shape with back pain. I was lucky to catch it and get help early. I wish I knew then what I know now.” Don’t let this phrase be what you say next month, six months or a year from now.

Identifying disabling misalignment is easier than you think. One hip is higher than the other. One leg shorter than the other. Maybe your spine twists to the right or the left. Possibly your head leans towards the right or left. (1) Maybe a little physical trauma, chemical forces, or stress have been in life. And don’t forget your neck is in jeopardy from texting. And…

As we age our body goes through changes. The body’s regenerative ability slows down. Think about how long that scrape, scratch, or bone fracture takes to heal compared to a few years ago. Age brings increasing degeneration of muscles joints and bones. It’s up to you to slow the process. Take action to improve your health now. It really is your decision. And you can do it. Take control today. And it's never too late!!

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)
