Treatment for Headaches and Chiropractic Care

9/18/2014

 
Many people suffer from headaches and migraines. The causes of these headaches frequently go unknown. Environmental triggers such as chemicals from household cleaners and pesticides frequently cause headaches. Daily stress is also a major factor and people who suffer from headache. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for these headaches no matter what the cause. 

Outside factors often affect the body. Have you ever noticed that when you're having a stressful day your shoulders feel tight? This type this does not just affect the shoulder, the muscles in the neck also become tight. This tightness can pull on the spinal vertebrae causing a misalignment. This misalignment can cause pressure on the nerves in the neck. 

In my many years of practice, I have found numerous cases of patients who suffer from headache getting relief from a simple spinal adjustment to the cervical spine also known as the neck.

Some people are nervous about having their neck adjusted. In our office, Frankford Health Associates, we offer traditional chiropractic care alongside Low force, crack-free, chiropractic adjustments.

Frequently, a patient suffering from headaches can get immediate relief after their chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic is the least invasive treatments for headache.

Along with chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy, we can recommend strengthening exercises and mind body stress reduction methods to increase the positive results. We also can help determine if your diet is a contributing factor to your headache symptoms.

What is Chiropractic?

9/18/2014

 
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the nervous system, and on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and how these systems effect your general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat low back and neck pain, pain in arms legs and joint and neuromusculoskeletal complaints, and headaches.

Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractic training includes broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to provide therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.

Spinal Manipulation is the most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic . This is also called the “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. 



This injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as poor posture while moving a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting at a desk with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues can suffer physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the patient. Adjustment or manipulation of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.

Chiropractic patients usually feel great relief after their adjustment, however, chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. Patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. When 

other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition. 

Doctors of Chiropractic may assess patients through clinical examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. Should a patients’s condidtion not be suitable for chiropractic care, Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider, or if the condition warrants, co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.

Happy Birthday Chiropractic

9/18/2014

 
Happy birthday chiropractic!  Sept. 18th marks the birthday of the unique and amazing profession of chiropractic. In Davenport, Iowa in 1895, D.D. Palmer delivered the first chiropractic adjustment to Harvey Lillard.

Mr. Lillard who was a deaf janitor, told Palmer that he lost his hearing many years earlier after he had 
stooped and felt a pop in his upper back. Upon examination, D.D. found a misalignment in Lillard’s spine 
and adjusted it. Shortly after the adjustment, Mr. Lillard’s hearing was restored! A profession was born. 
Naturally enough, Palmer developed his philosophy relating the spine to nervous system function and 
human health and expression. Today, chiropractic is the second largest non medical healing profession in 
North America. 

 When I was growing up on Long Island, I had never even heard of chiropractic care. It wasn't until I 
was in college in my premedical education that I encountered my first chiropractor. He was my anatomy 
and physiology teacher. I quizzed him for weeks about his profession and really didn't understand. After 
studying the spine and the nervous system, the light bulb finally went on. I quickly decided that I should 
work in his office and see what it is that he does. He cared for newborns, kids, adults and even a 98 year 
old man! The results he got were amazing! After a short one month I change my major from premed to 
pre-chiropractic and the rest is history! I attended Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta, Georgia and have 
been practicing chiropractic in the Philadelphia area for almost 25 years!

My children have benefited greatly by this decision! For healthy children who rarely suffer from the childhood illnesses that their peers endure on a daily basis. 

I am been so lucky to have made this profession mine. Chiropractic is more than a job, it is a lifestyle! 

Happy birthday chiropractic! Thank you for making the world a healthier place!

Get adjusted this week and help me celebrate chiropractics’ birthday!
