Chiropractic Therapy for Children

Posted on April 9, 2013 | Leave a comment

Chiropractic and acupuncture therapy on children has become a pretty hot issue, as it has to do with realignment of the spine to promote proper subluxation. Many believe that this misalignment is what causes many babies to be in pain and exhibit health issues, like congestion, shortly after birth.  This article from Total Spine Health & Injury Center discusses this topic.

Due to the fact that children tend to get hurt often and take risks that adults normally do not, the need for alternative treatment to put the body back in order is necessary. For those that are on the side of taking children to the chiropractor, they believe that they should start having them go to the chiropractor from a young age. This will help to maintain their spine and other back areas healthy, while still being able to simply be children. It can prevent many disorders from preventing running, walking, jumping, and more.

Because of the nature of the treatments (, it seems more intense than it is and those that actively seek this type of treatment have found that it helps to relieve pain almost immediately. Not only that, but it helps with their posture and they can learn exercises to help maintain that. If not treated in children, there could be various problems that can arise.

Use of Chiropractic Treatment for Scoliosis

Posted on April 9, 2013 | Leave a comment

Chiropractic therapy is one of the ancient sciences that have been gaining rapid popularity and acceptance because of its holistic ways and non-invasive mode of therapy.

Chiropractic therapy is used for a number of inflammatory and degenerative as well as organic issues all over the world.

Backache is normally the first and most significant symptom that brings the patient to medical attention. In long standing cases, other issues also develop like limitation of physical range of motion, nerve entrapment leading to pain, disability and loss of function etc.

Degenerative scoliosis is fairly common in post-menopausal women due to loss of protective influence of estrogen on bones that affects the bone mineral density and mineralization, age related wear and tear changes in the spine that sets the degenerative process and ongoing bone damage due to osteoporosis, osteopenia and other defects that do not provide protection against degenerative processes leading to scoliosis.

In elderly women and especially those with degenerative scoliosis, the most preferred mode of therapy includes non-invasive methods because the healing and recovery is generally impaired in elderly individuals that make surgery fairly disabling. Chiropractics, physiotherapy and diet modifications are currently the main stream treatments employed today to treat the cases of degenerative scoliosis.

Chiropractic treatment involves the use of special instruments or manual pressure by trained specialists to manipulate the spinal joints so that the muscles and ligaments align in a better fashion. When spinal joints, ligaments and muscles are well-aligned, the risk of inflammatory reactions greatly decreases and in the absence of inflammation and injury to vital tissues, your spinal joints heal at enhanced speed.

Myths About Chiropractic Exposed

Posted on April 9, 2013 | Leave a comment

Chiropractic Doesn’t Work

Chiropractic is like all health disciplines. It works for some problems and doesn’t work for other problems. For musculoskeletal problems chiropractic works exceptionally well. In fact, in many instances people find better results with chiropractic than with drugs or surgery!

Chiropractic Isn’t Scientific

Chiropractic has an enormous amount of peer reviewed research showing that it is safe and effective for chronic problems involving the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. There have been over 50 random controlled, double blind trials showing chiropractic is more effective than drugs & surgery for the management of back pain. A recent study at Duke University showed chiropractic was more effective than drugs for headaches & migraines. Researchers in San Diego showed chiropractic to be more effective than medicine or physical therapy for injuries associated with whiplash trauma during a car accident. People suffering with back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, sports injuries, herniated discs, and extremity problems can rest assured that the chiropractic care they are receiving is backed up by rigorous scientific research.

Chiropractic Is Dangerous

For years, the medical community has attempted to portray chiropractic as a dangerous therapy, particularly when involving manipulation to the cervical (neck) area of the spine. However, none of these medical opinions are based in scientific fact. In fact, there have been numerous studies which explored the overall risk of spinal manipulation. These studies  show the rate of an adverse reaction following a chiropractic adjustment to be roughly 1 in 3,000,000.

Once You Go, You Have To Keep Going Back Forever

You don’t have to go back forever. You don’t have to do anything. For example, you don’t have to eat right and exercise. You don’t have to brush & floss your teeth. You don’t have to get to bed on time and get a good 8 hours of sleep each night. We do certain things because it makes sense to do them. We see benefits in keeping up with maintaining our health.
