Blood Pressure and chiropractic

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Did you know that a pinched nerve in the middle of  the spine could lead to high or low blood pressure?  did you know that over the past ten years, the increase in blood pressure medication use has not decreased the number of heart attacks at all?  Correcting this pinched nerve can correct the problem while blood pressure medication actually only covers up the symptoms and can have dangerous side effects.  If you know someone who takes blood pressure medication talk to them about having their spine checked for pinched nerves.  Bring them by our scottsdale chiropractic clinic for a free check up.

kids book bags and posture

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Did you know that carrying heavy book bags and sitting in class for extended periods of time are the main causes for pinched nerves and back strain in school age children. Many kids have their back backs and book bags hang too low or over one shoulder instead of both. I know, you need to look cool right. I have a nice picture of the hunchback of notre dame you can hang in your locker. jk. if you have children in school that are using back packs, ask them if their backs are sore and or stiff. Bring them by our scottsdale chiropractic office and have them checked for pinched nerves, and bring the back pack we will adjust it for them to the right level.

Auto Accidents and Chiropractic

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Did you know that a collision at just ten miles per hour can result in a permanent spinal problem? did you know that an auto accident causes someone’s neck to lose its normal postural curvature, immediatley after the whiplash motion.  This loss of normal lordotic curvature of the cerical spine changes the normal ranges of motion that the neck bends, twists, leans, tilts etc in all directions.  Besides causing an increase of pain and discomfort in the neck from the pinched nerves, this abnormal range of motion can immediately increase the likelihood of developing arthritis and degeneration in their neck.  Through a series of cervical adjustments, and soft tissue treatments, you can regain the normal curve of the neck and prevent the arthritis in the neck from even beginning.

If you know of someone who has been in an auto accident - or any collision or bad fall - and is experiencing pain, have them call me to get their spine checked as soon as possible.

Anti-inflammatory Drugs

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Did you know that anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed for pain are the most frequently prescribed medication? Did you know that according to the British medical journal, these drugs cause permanent liver dysfunction, kidney damage, headaches, and fluid retention? Did you know that by correcting pinched nerves in the spine, with chiropractic and physio-therapy, your body can effectively heal the damage itself. This will prevent the need for drugs and their mal effects. If you know someone taking anti-inflammatory drugs, tell them about chiropratic care and have them come in to our scottsdale chiropractic clinic to be checked.
