It's So Sad...

Chiropractic For Animals Can be Very Helpful
It's always about the money. I was recently reading how animal chiropractic is been very popular because of the success with it. Animal Chiropractor Daniel Kamen stated "Why spend $5000 on hip dysphasia surgery, when a simple, almost free, chiropractic technique can prevent it's onset".

Because it's all about money, some states are banning Chiropractic on animals. Thank goodness we can adjust people... But we still are pretty well cemented into the drugs and surgery model. If we do this then that's less surgery candidates, if we do that patient don't need this medication for the rest of their lives...

To close, I just want to say that you really need to take care of yourself and do the research before undergoing any treatment.

I Have Butt and Leg Pain - HELP!!!

Pain with Numbness and Tingling in the Leg and Butt?
You have pain that is in the butt and the leg, what can it be? Is it on both sides? Is it a pain, numbness, tingling...? The sciatic nerve travels down your rear (goes between the two heads of the piriformis muscle) and then travels down the leg. Sometimes depending on where it is you can tell which nerve root in the back is effected. Is it in the feet - might be the L5 or S1 nerve root? Is it just in upper thigh - might be L3.

Nerve roots exit the spine, and in the lower part of the body, form the sciatic nerve, which goes down the leg. Hence the term "Sciatica". So your pain can be back related but maybe it started in the leg? Ask yourself, what might have triggered this? That will help you find the answer.

Your doctor will send for xray or an mri and do and exam, this will confirm it. Chances are it may just be a good strain. Inflammation builds up somewhere and creates pressure; then you get a symptom.

The Busy Active Lives of Teenagers....

Chiropractic for teens is important
especially ones involved in sports such
cheer leading, soccer, gymastics etc.
On a recent episode of Keeping up the Kardashians, young Kylie Jenner makes a trip to her chiropractors office to have her neck adjusted, all in the midst of the Kim K Drama!!

Getting adjusted is important as a young person is important.
In many cases we see patients this age because they are very active with studying, gymnastics, volley ball, cheer leading and other activities such as texting on their phones.

Misalignments in the spine can arise causing poor posture, neck pain, mid back pain, headaches and lower back pain. If corrected when younger, it's much quicker and easier to fix.
