Keeping Your Back Safe While Gardening

2018-03-22T17:32:13-04:00

If you love to garden, you’ve likely suffered a backache or two from maintaining your garden beds. It can be a multiple-season routine, depending on what you are planting or trying to grow, which means your back is regularly getting put under stress from bending over and over again. For others, they are doing most of the work during just one season of the year, which means their back may not be used to this type of labor. While a few backaches may not seem like a big deal, you are actually putting your back in danger when you work in [...]

I touched on Carpal Tunnel syndrome a few years ago in this blog post. There are many things that can cause numbness and tingling in the hands or feet; both WebMD and Spine-Health discuss and share these similar details and findings.  Falling asleep on your arm or pinching the nerve in your leg from sitting too long cause temporary compression of the nerves, however the way most people live cause can cause a more permanent compression leading to serious nerve related conditions.  If you drive more than half an hour a day, sit at a computer, have old sporting injuries, car accidents or [...]

Are you and your physician considering having you undergo back surgery? It’s a huge decision that you wouldn’t take lightly, but for many it may seem like the only solution. There are actually around 600,000 back surgeries performed every year in North America, but some are beginning to question the need and effectiveness of them.

Life gets busy and most people struggle to fit everything into 24 hours.

Chiropractic Care Helps Teeth Grinding At Night

2018-02-08T18:08:55-05:00

Sleep bruxism (or grinding teeth at night)  is a movement disorder that is characterized by habitual, non-functional and forceful teeth contact (grinding and clenching of teeth) during sleep. Diagnosis of sleep bruxism is often done using four criteria: anterior teeth wear, posterior teeth occlusal wear, report of frequent noises of teeth grinding during sleep, and a white line at buccal mucosa. The causes of sleep bruxism is not well understood, however some possible factors lie in the central nervous system, psychosocial and genetic influences. The typical therapeutic approach to sleep bruxism is the use of dental appliances, however it has been [...]

Chiropractic Care for Individuals with ADHD, Learning Disabilities and Depression

2018-01-17T15:39:16-05:00

It is critical for chiropractors to approach the growing number of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities and depression cases in order to restore and correct subluxations for optimal health. Chiropractors are working hard to gain knowledge from epidemiological research in order to apply to clinical recommendations when treating individuals who suffer from mental disorders. Ultimately, chiropractic case studies hold a critical place in reducing mortality from disease process through interventions. A case study of an 8 year old boy who suffers from ADHD and learning disorder experienced significant improvement from subluxation based chiropractic care.
