If You've Been in a Minor Fender Bender, You Still Might Be Injured

September 5th, 2009 |

If you’ve been driving around in a big tank-of-a-car and you’ve been in an auto accident, if your car looks “uninjured,” it’s easy to presume that you are uninjured, too. After all, isn’t that the purpose of driving a big vehicle? It’s for protection, right? Then you might be surprised to learn that research has shown that occupants of vehicles, both large and compact, can be hurt far more than might be predicted from a minor auto accident. In reality, as far as your body is concerned, there’s truly no such thing as a “minor fender bender.”

When your body is forced to stop suddenly and unexpectedly, there are going to be reverberations. An emergency room attendant may offer you a clean bill of health because you haven’t broken any bones, and you may be given a prescription for drugs to relax the muscle spasms that you are undoubtedly experiencing as a consequence of the structural changes in your neck or lower back that you encountered from the impact. But, unless you’re actually treated for the bodily trauma you’ve sustained, your condition can go from bad to much, much worse. In fact, many individuals experience problems years after a car accident because they didn’t get the help they required in the first place.

Your chiropractor genuinely knows what your body experiences during a car accident. Chiropractic techniques include treatment for soft tissue injuries and spinal bio-mechanics impairment. And when it comes to rehabilitation strategies, your chiropractor is an expert

If you’ve encountered a minor auto accident, you are more likely to need more repair than your car. Neck and back traumas are not only painful in the places in which they take place, but they can also produce pain, tingling, and numbness in your arms and hands and result in headaches days, weeks, even months after an accident occurs.

You can get back on the road to feeling good again with drug-free, natural chiropractic care. It will assist in putting the trauma of your accident where it belongs – behind you. Furthermore, because your chiropractor has experience communicating effectively with insurance companies and lawyers, not only will you experience less physical stress, but less emotional stress, too!

What is the difference between tendonitis and carpal tunnel?

September 4th, 2009 |

Author: admin

Our family physician just gave my husband splints and told him to take some aleve for his hand problems. His hands and fingers hurt, more so at night, and nothing seems to be helping. We are just trying to figure out what it could be before we see a specialist. What are the major differences between tendonitis and carpal tunnel? Any info. would be helpful!!!

Tendonitis is the inflammation (thus usually the aching) of tendons. Carpal tunnel is an anatomical structure on the distal anterior forearm. If you mean carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), then that is a syndrome whereby the tendons, nerves, and vessels that pass through the carpal tunnel at the wrist become impinged because of an increase in the size of the muscles that pass through them.

Most cases that I’ve seen are NOT true CTS cases. They are misdiagnoses. If this doesn’t work, take him to the chiropractor because the nerve may not be "pinched" in the carpal tunnel but actually in the neck. Results can be phenominal if it’s not really CTS.

How is sciatica pain different from back pain?

September 3rd, 2009 |

Author: admin

I have a shooting like pain down one side of my lower back which runs down towards my buttocks.
I am unable to bend due to this pain. And when i do, its really painful.
Does it sound like sciatica? Or just normal back pain?

Sounds possibly like sciatica / trapped nerve. My mum had really bad sciatica when she was heavily pregnant and had my little bro via c-section in the end, cos the pain was unbearable plus he was a large baby!! She still suffer from back pain now and is on medication for it.
I would maybe check with your doctor and see if he can suggest anything.
Im also currently feeling a similar pain, but havent yet been to a doctor, warm baths and heat pads and a deep heat muscular rub tends to help to relieve my aching back!

Hope that helps.

Please take a look at mine and answer, thanks

What can cause shoulder pain when you breathe?

September 2nd, 2009 |

I have RSD/CRPS, lately when I take a deep breath I am getting a sharp stabbing pain in my right shoulder. My shoulder also hurts when I lay down.

could be a rib out of place or a fixated AC joint. Chiropractic can fix that right up quick.
