Neck and back pain is nothing to be taken lightly.

Luckily, chiropractic care can help treat the symptoms of disc protrusion and herniation.

They’re a common car accident injury, but if you’ve been diagnosed with a herniated or bulging disc, it doesn’t help to know you’re in good company. You only have one thing on your mind: How do you get the pain to stop? Can a chiropractor help?

Chiropractors are experts in the spine and other joints, so it’s only natural that they would understand how to treat a disc protrusion or herniated disc. In this article, we’ll go over what exactly a disc protrusion is, what causes them, common symptoms, and how chiropractic care can help.

Curious about chiropractic? You’re probably wondering…

“Does my insurance cover chiropractic treatments?”

If you suffer from back pain, achy joints, sciatica, or another painful condition, you’re not alone. Chiropractors treat nearly 27 million patients a year. With the prevalence of joint-related issues, you might be asking yourself, “Does my insurance cover chiropractic treatment?”

But—as with most questions involving doctors and insurance plans—the answer isn’t always cut-and-dry.

Fortunately, there are many occasions when your insurance will cover chiropractic services. Let’s dig a little deeper to see when you may or may not be covered.

E-Stim therapy (or electrical muscular stimulation) can sound a bit intimidating when your chiropractor suggests it as a form of treatment.

“What is it? Why do I need it? Why would I benefit from it? Does it hurt? Can I stop once I start?”

You will find the answers to these questions as you read on and we hope that it helps ease any anxiety you feel about this treatment option.

Massages aren’t just for “spa days.”

Find out how a medical massage can help treat a variety of conditions.

When it comes to rest and relaxation, there’s nothing better than a massage. 15.4 million Americans benefit from massages and it’s easy to see why! Massages can help relieve tension, prevent you from developing more serious conditions, and improve your quality of life.

But massages are more than just something to indulge in on Mother’s Day or a beach vacation. Medical massages can provide effective relief from pain, soreness, and injury.

Whether it’s your first trip or tenth, you’re probably still learning something new with each visit.

In this article, we’ll give you the rundown of what to expect at the chiropractor.

It’s normal to be curious or even to feel apprehension walking into your chiropractor appointment, especially if this is your first time. But the worst thing that could happen is to let your anxiety keep you from pursuing treatment.

The first thing you should know is that a chiropractic appointment is “hands-on and drugs off.” This means we prefer to take a more natural approach and allow your body to heal itself. However, if you are also seeing another practitioner, chiropractic care can work in conjunction so that you reap the benefits of both treatment protocols.

In this article, we’ll let you know what to expect at the chiropractor so that you can get the most out of your experience. And for those who have been to the chiropractor before, we’ll give you an idea of what your first visit to Oviedo Chiropractic will be like.

2020 was the year that most of us started working from home…and your back probably paid the price.

Here’s how to set up an ergonomic workspace anywhere that will help—not hurt—your body.

This year has brought a lot of changes into our lives. Not only are we all getting accustomed to wearing masks everywhere, many have switched to working remotely. And while you probably enjoy skipping the commute and wearing pajamas to work, we’ve noticed that a lot of home “offices” aren’t exactly ergonomic.

Prior to the pandemic, if you worked from an office, you probably had everything set up the way you like it: a comfy chair, computer at the perfect height, and maybe even a footrest. Now? Some of you have had to make do with a TV dinner tray on the couch.

What’s the good news? With only a few handy hacks, you can have an ergonomic workspace that will alleviate your “Self Isolation Syndrome” pains. Read on for the top five areas that are most important to your chiropractic health and what you can do to avoid potential injury or discomfort.

Sometimes, headaches can be a real pain in the neck.

Whether you feel your neck pain at the onset of your headache, or throughout the entire episode, your primary concern is making it stop. But it’s just as important to understand why you’re feeling neck pain and headache.

In this article, we’ll go over some of the most common causes of neck pain and headache as well as how to treat it.

Being in a car accident, regardless of how serious it is, can make you ask yourself a lot of questions.

“Is there any way I could have prevented this? Should I be worried about my insurance rates going up? Do I need to seriously consider getting a new car?”

All of those questions are valid, but there’s one important question that a lot of people don’t know the answer to: How long should you be sore after a car accident?
