Get Your Head On Straight!
January 25, 2011Carrying your head around all day is hard work! Do it right so you don't hurt yourself.
According to Cailliet, when your head is jutting abnormally forward, it can add significant pressure to your cervical spine. Besides fatigue, it can produce other health-robbing affects:
- Impaired lung capacity
- Loss of proper bowel movement
- Reduced vitality
- Chronic pain
Chiropractic care has helped restore the proper relationship between the head and neck for countless millions of people. But it takes time! The Forward Head syndrome takes time to show up and even longer to resolve.
Keep a keen eye out for people with this all too common condition and refer them to our practice for a no-obligation evaluation.

Living to 100
January 10, 2011People born 100 years ago would typically live to the ripe old age of 50 years, while children born this year are expected to live longer than 80 years. A study of centurions reveals some general guidelines that you can use to help extend your own life, regardless of your current age:
- Be born a female. Hard to do much about this, but females have been outliving males for centuries.
- Stay married. Married people live longer than single people - 10 years longer for men, 4 years for women.
- Eat less. Research shows that life expectancy can be extended by eating less.
- Pass up refined sugar. Sugar can speed the aging process.
- Use little salt. Getting used to salt-free tastes will take some time.
- Reduce protein intake. Excess protein stresses the body and reduces your ability to fight disease.
- Regular exercise. No need for a gym membership. Brisk walking improves circulation, metabolism and emotional well-being.
Shock Absorbers of the Spine
January 5, 2011They bulge, herniate, degenerate and tear, but they don't "slip." Discs serve as the "shock absorbers" of your body. Separating each vertebra, they create the space for nerves to exit the spinal cord and so you can turn and bend. Rings of fibrous tissue called the annulus contain a soft jelly center.
We generally see two types of disc problems:
Bulging Disc: A weakened area of the annulus allows the soft center of the disc to bulge out, putting pressure on nearby nerves. Bulging discs usually respond well to chiropractic care, often eliminating the need for surgery.
Herniated Disc: A herniated or ruptured disc is more serious. It seems most common in the lower back. This is when part of the soft center pushes out through a weakened area due to trauma or degeneration, putting pressure on the spinal cord.
Chiropractic care, along with walking, increased water intake and improved nutrition offer a natural, non-surgical resolution for many disc problems.
Does Chiropractic Cure Disease?
January 2, 2011Many of our practice members are surprised to learn that chiropractic doesn't cure anything. So, how do you explain diseases that have obviously improved with chiropractic care?
The fundamental truth is: health is normal. If you're not healthy, something is interfering with this normal state. The only thing that doctors of any type can do is to remove interferences that may be preventing your body from expressing your normal health potential.
Our focus is on your nervous system, which controls and regulates every aspect of your body. Restoring better brain/body communications permit a more normal expression of health. The fact that your illness may improve in the process is an expression of better nervous system control of your body.
Thus, chiropractic doesn't cure anything. Only you can do that, if there isn't any interference! Call for an appointment today! We will do our best to get you in the day you call.

Why Chiropractic is the Best Solution for Sciatica Pain

Fortunately, a recent study offers hope to sciatica patients: chiropractic care can speed the recovery from sciatica flare ups and allow patients to return to work sooner (2).
The study evaluated 44 Norwegian workers after they came to the hospital with severe sciatica pain. Most of those patients had been experiencing pain for three or more weeks prior to their hospital visit.
The hospital chiropractor examined each patient to evaluate his/her posture and gait, range of motion, and palpation of the lumbar spine.
The chiropractic then performed various joint adjustments to the spine and other limbs that had been injured through patients compensating for pain. Ice treatment was also used to relieve soft tissue soreness.Patients were treated daily in the hospital and later three times a week for the first two weeks. Some patients needed additional follow-up treatment but typically did not exceed 14 treatments.
In matter of 21 days, 91% of patients returned to work full-time. Two patients returned to work part time. Researchers concluded this study demonstrates the potent benefits of collaboration between chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons. Chiropractic care can put an end to your sciatica pain so you can begin living your life fully again.
