I'm Not Really a Medicine Guy, Can Chiropractic Help Me?

It's very possible. The first step is to come into the office for an exam. Here, the doctor can take a look at you and talk to you to find out what's going on.

In most cases a couple simple adjustments to a bone or bones of the spine may do the trick. Oh yeah, don't worry it so gentle and easy, you'll be surprised.

"What about getting my neck cracked, I don't want that...?"

No problem, there are many different adjustments to do. Just tell the doctor that and here at CT Spine & Disc Center we will honor your wishes!

As We Get Older We Don't Heal As Quick...

When we were younger, we start out as a toddler learning to walk, and we crash here and slam down there. And we just pop right up like nothing happened. Then we get a little older, and we tumble over here, jump from there....often with a crash, bang, boom. Then we get a bit older and start plying organized sports - more crashing, usually harder, because it's someone else contributing to the spill...

As you may assume, some of those bumps and bruises carry over to us later in life; not to mention, when we take a fall now in our 60's, we don't recuperate so quick.

So it's okay to go a little slower, be a bit more cautious, stop performing certain activities... It might be hard to hang up the rugby kleats, but is it worth it to take care of a back injury.

If this does happen however, we are here at CT Spine for YOU. Or maybe, you simply strain something in the back getting up from the chair (most often it happens unexpectedly, and from something we don't expect). Either way, don't hesitate to contact the office if something hurts.

I'm Pregnant and Have Back Pain, Help!...

"I'm about 3 months pregnant and my back is killing me...".  

At our office we've heard this kind of thing quite a few times.  We have seen a lot of pregnant women over the years.   It's fairly common to be hindered with back pain when your pregnant.  Just think of your posture alone, when you add a bunch of weight to your belly.  An example would be the picture. Ok, this person is probably 8 months pregnant?  But, many people start getting lower back pain way before they might look like this...

So you might also be thinking, "how can he adjust me?"  That's easy actually. Besides the fact that the ligaments tend to get very lax, we have a variety of adjusting techniques.  It's not all "twisting and cracking" anymore.  There are so many more gentle ways to get motion restored and to align the spine.

We have a tool we use to adjust as well as a special table that allows for gentle adjustments.  If you want to learn more about this, stop in or give the office a call.
