A Brief History Of Chiropractic Treatment
Aug 23rd
The word “chiropractic” is rooted from two Greek terms which mean “manually effective”. This treatment approach is technically defined as the diagnosis and the rehabilitation of the certain conditions that pose some serious effect on the components of the neuro-musculoskeletal system.
The practitioners of this treatment approach are known as the chiropractors and they are able to detect and cure numerous illnesses which are related to the muscles, nerves, joints, and bones of the human body. In contrary to the old notion that this practice can only do good in easing back pain, the prolific chiropractors can actually provide More >
Maximized Living-how to Achieve it Through Chiropractic Care
Aug 22nd
Our daily lives more times than not consists of rushing, trying to be on time, and always on the go. When our bodies have had enough, it lets us know that it’s time to slow down. A chaotic lifestyle is often associated with stress in some form or fashion and stress can cause internal and external reactions or “mental” and “physical” changes in our mood, our bodies, and our lives.
Things such as illness, injury, or emotional trauma such as death of someone dear to us or financial issue, can cause internal conditions. Stress can be caused by things happening More >
Chiropractic and Neck Pain
Aug 21st
Neck pain can be experienced in many different ways. Sometimes we can wake up in the morning after sleeping in a strange bed or having had a restless night and find that we have a stiff and painful neck. The pain might be felt on one side or both sides of the neck and may be accompanied by other symptoms.
These can include a burning pain, pain or numbness radiating down the arms to the hands, causing a tingling feeling in the hands or fingers. Weakness in the arms can also be a result. In addition, one might experience headaches, blurred More >

Aug 21st
Whiplash is classified as a health condition where the soft tissues of the neck have been hurt after an abrupt jerking or whipping of the head, which results in a strain on the muscles and ligaments of the neck when it is moved beyond the normal range of motion, causing a sprain-type injury. Frequently the outcome of a rear-end collision between cars and trucks, or a sports related injury, a whiplash injury can be the result of impulsive stretching of the spine.
Physical therapy, pain medication, a soft neck collar and chiropractic adjustment can all provide relief for simple cases of More >
Homeopathy a Good Companion to Chiropractic? Naturally!
Aug 20th
If you’re looking for a natural treatment alternative and a boost to your practice, homeopathy may be the answer. At least, so says Dr. Gill Gilly. The 83-year-old naturopath says he studied homeopathy in Europe after his “retirement” as a minister because he’d seen a little of what the natural healing method could accomplish.
“I’d seen great, fantastic results, and I wanted to know more about it,” shares Dr. Gilly.
Gilly, who was born in a small town in Oklahoma, says their only town doctor was a homeopath who also did manipulations–thus introducing Dr. Gilly to natural medicine and chiropractic More >
A New Chiropractic Twist is Spreading
Aug 19th
A new chiropractic twist is spreading. It is called manipulation under anesthesia and it’s being used throughout hospitals and surgical centers throughout New Jersey.
Chronic pain sufferers across the nation have already discovered tremendous health benefits that can be restored by Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or M.U.A.
MUA as we call it is a well established, Mercy guideline accepted, procedure that osteopaths have performed for years and have since given up. Proponents of MUA say it’s indicated mostly for the 5% to 10% of those chiropractic patients whose spinal adjustments would be too painful without anesthesia.
The combination of manipulation and anesthesia is not new, More >
Do Children Need Chiropractic?
Aug 18th
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts which is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body).
Why do children need chiropractic care?
Many parents wonder why in the world would their child need regular visits to the chiropractor’s office.

Will My Health Insurance Cover Chiropractic Care?
Aug 16th
“I’m thinking about seeing a chiropractor. Oh, but chiropractic isn’t covered by health insurance, right?” Wrong! I get this question all the time. When someone is making the decision to choose chiropractic to take care of their health issue, they have to go through several decision processes.
First, will chiropractic help my problem? Typically, they are dealing with pain and aren’t getting much help from other methods they’ve tried to resolve it. They may have tried over-the-counter pain medications, maybe even some stronger versions prescribed by their doctor. They may have bought a brace or support, changed their bed, or just More >
Natural Allergy Relief With Chiropractic
Aug 15th
Allergies are often treated with chiropractic care. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions properly. Some of the research I was able to locate is listed below.
