How Can A Chiropractor Help You?
James Diesen asked:
If you have been complaining of lower back pain or muscle spasm that is just not going away, you must see a doctor. After having tried anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, some rest, and several visits to a medical doctor, if the soreness still persists, a visit to a chiropractor may yield some positive results. Whether the ache is acute and lasts several days or isn’t very intense but mostly chronic, you could see a chiropractor. Many people, who don’t want to go under the scalpel, try chiropractic as a viable alternative.
The back pain could be due to fatigue, stress, a spinal injury, or excessive weight. You should see if your mattress is uneven or your posture is wrong. These could aggravate the stiffness in the joints. Sometimes, even pregnant women complain of severe pains in the hip and back. There are studies that show low back pain caused by pregnancy responds very well to chiropractic. There are chiropractors who specialize in treating children, the elderly, sports injuries, and expectant mothers. Then there are those who are experts at rehab and post-accident care or dealing with spinal cord injuries or stress related conditions. Through our website, www.FreeExamJacksonville.com, you can determine whether you have a condition that chiropractic can help for FREE.
In this alternative form of pain alleviation, the bones are “adjusted” and put back into their proper alignment. It is done gently and with little or no discomfort. This misalignment is responsible for the improper functioning of the body, according to the chiropractic belief. This method of treatment is absolutely painless and you could find relief almost immediately. Even if you experience some discomfort, it’s temporary. If the pain is persistent, then diagnostic tests such as X-rays or MRI scans are used to determine the source and treatment begins accordingly.
These days, this form of science is not only used to combat fibromyalgia, arthritis, sciatica, and sore muscles, but also migraine headaches, and to reduce stress. To know more about chiropractic, you could look for these practitioners in your area. Ortega Chiropractic is one such place. At a clinic like this, the individual needs of the patients are taken care of thus ensuring faster recovery. Ortega Chiropractic is located in Jacksonville on the westside near NAS Jax.
Chiropractic now ranks second behind conventional medicine. What goes in its favor is that it doesn’t involve any drugs or invasive procedures. Sometimes a chiropractor will recommended a change in the lifestyle and diet. Exercises are also advised and most patients feel that their mobility has greatly improved after chiropractic. With an experienced chiropractor your back ache would soon be a thing of the past.

Fibromyalgia, Chiropractor in Concord
Dr. Barton asked:
Fibromyalgia (FM) Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue, and sleep disturbances. The most common sites of pain include the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic girdle, and hands, but any body part can be affected. Fibromyalgia patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities that wax and wane over time. There is no lab test for fibromyalgia. The diagnosis is based entirely on symptomatology.
Many Doctors believe this is a catch all diagnosis that is often overused when there is no other explanation for the patient’s symptoms.
At Barton Chiropractic in Concord we have had positive results helping patients with Fibromyalgia. Our success rate has been extremely high with only a couple of patients no recovering fully.
If you are suffering from Fibromyalgia, you have nothing to lose but your pain. Yet you have everything to gain.
One of the best things about our office is there is never a charge to sit down and talk to a Doctor. All you need to do is call our office at 925 685-2002 and schedule your free consultation.
Below I have included a couple of research articles on the effectiveness of Chiropractic care on Fibromyalgia. If you would like to see more you can follow the link to our website at: http://www.bartonchiro.com/custom_content/44566_fibromyalgia.html
Upper cervical management of primary fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome cases. Amalu WC. Today’s Chiropractic May/June 2000 Pp.76-86.
This is a paper of 23 successive cases (5 male, 18 female from 11 to 76 years of age) of primary fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome suffering from 2 to 35 years.
Total care visits ranged from 20 to 48. All patients reported maintaining their improvements at 1 to 1 ½ years or more of follow up. After care every patient was able to resume normal activities including full time work.
The author writes “Improvement in symptoms of 92-100% was achieved in both these syndromes subsequent to corrections of aberrant arthrokinematic function of the occipito-atlanto-axial complex…A causal relationship between biomechanical faults in the upper cervical spine, abnormal central neurophysiologic processing and subsequent peripheral neuropathophysiology, is suggested as the possible genesis of these two syndromes.”
The effectiveness of chiropractic management of fibromyalgia patients: a pilot study. Blunt KL, Rajwani MH, and Guerriero RC. J Manipulative Physiological Therapy; 1997: 20(6):389-99.
Twenty-one rheumatology patients aged 25-70 suffering from fibromyalgia (muscular pain characterized by muscular tautness/stiffness, well-defined tender/trigger points, numbness, tingling, and pain) were studied to demonstrate chiropractic’s effect on this condition.
Chiropractic care consisted of 4 weeks of spinal care plus soft tissue and passive stretching at the chiropractors’ discretion. Chiropractic management improved patients’ cervical and lumbar ranges of motion, straight leg raise and reported pain levels.
Prospective, longitudinal study of service utilization and costs in fibromyalgia. Wolf F. Anderson J, Harkness, D et al. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1997; 40, pp.1560-70.
In this study of 538 fibromyalgia patients it was revealed that chiropractors were one of the more common health care professionals visited by patients, averaging 30.4 visits per 100 patients (per six-month period).
You do not have to suffer any longer. Call 925 685-2002 for your free consultation.
