Has your life become a wreck…literally?

Here are the most common car accident injuries (and how chiropractic care can help).

Every day, an estimated 12,000 people experience car accident injuries that are serious enough to require medical attention. That adds up to 4.4 million people every year!

Car accident injuries are common, but that doesn’t make them trivial. Even a minor fender bender can have serious, long-lasting effects on your health and quality of life. Some people try to “walk off” the pain or treat it with over-the-counter pain medications and just hope it goes away. Others seek medical treatment through surgery or addictive prescription drugs with nasty side effects.

But more and more people are discovering the best-kept secret for dealing with car accident injuries: chiropractic care!

In this article, we’ll talk about the five most common car accident injuries and how chiropractic care can help you on your way to healing.

Pain and reduced range of motion don’t have to be a part of aging.

Here are 5 amazing benefits of chiropractic for seniors that’ll have you enjoying your Golden Years!

If you’re like most people, you’re probably not looking forward to getting older and losing your quality of life.

But there’s good news: you might not have to!

Until you’re blowing out all those birthday candles, you don’t know how aging will affect you, but there are some ways you can reduce the pain, loss of stamina, frequent illnesses, and fatigue that often accompany aging. And one of the most effective? Regular chiropractic care.

“Chiropractic for seniors?”

That’s right!

Chiropractic adjustments can offer many benefits to an older population that you probably hadn’t considered. Lie back and read on to find out just how chiropractic care can help you shine in the prime of your life!

When it comes to car accident injuries, you can’t just “walk them off.”

Even a whiplash injury deserves quick, thorough treatment.

That fender bender put your car in the shop, but at least you were able to walk away from the accident. In fact, all you have is a little soreness in your neck. No big deal, right? It’ll heal on its own with a little ice and a couple of ibuprofen.

Unfortunately, whiplash has a reputation of being either a minor injury or a completely fabricated condition designed to make lawyers rich. As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Your whiplash injury might not warrant a hospital stay, but it’s a lot worse than just “a sore neck.” In this article, we’ll talk about what happens to your body during a whiplash injury, the immediate and long-term symptoms, and the best way to seek treatment.

Chiropractic care is a great tool to have in your scoliosis management plan.

In this article, we’ll look at the many ways a chiropractor can provide scoliosis treatment.

An estimated 7 million Americans suffer from an abnormal curvature of the spine, a condition known as scoliosis.

Symptoms can range from unnoticeable to severe, but even those with mild scoliosis can find the condition to be painful detriment to their daily lives. But if you’re not a candidate for surgery, what options do you have?

Most people turn to a physical therapist, orthopedist, or primary care doctor for scoliosis treatment, but more and more are turning to chiropractic care.

It isn’t exactly an official diagnosis (okay, we made it up). But that doesn’t make it any less annoying.

Here are some of the issues you may experience during quarantine, plus how to get rid of the pain.

If you’re anything like the rest of the world, your daily routine probably looks nothing like it did in January.

Instead of going into the office, you’re working from the couch, catching up on your “honey do” list, homeschooling your kids, or simply watching Netflix. And if you’ve noticed a lot more soreness and pain over the last few weeks, you’re not alone.

Staying home might lessen the spread of the coronavirus, but it can also be a (literal) pain. Those makeshift work spaces, home projects, and good old-fashioned anxiety can cause a number of painful conditions, from achy backs to muscle sprains.

Sound familiar? You might have Self-Isolation Pain Syndrome.

Tylenol, Asprin, Advil…which is the best OTC to help your aching back?

As it turns out, there’s a drug-free alternative that’s better than the best OTC for back pain.

Your spine is incredibly amazing. It’s responsible for bearing your weight, protecting your spinal cord, holding your ribs in place to protect your heart and lungs, and remaining flexible enough to allow you to move.

But most people don’t give their spines a second thought…unless, that is, they’re feeling back pain.

An estimated 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. And most of those people will turn to an over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication for quick relief.

What is the best OTC for back pain? And are they really the best option?

Is the COVID-19 pandemic a (literal) pain in the neck? Don’t go to the hospital!

Here’s three reasons why chiropractors have been deemed an essential business.

Whether you’ve been treating your pain with medications or simply “powering through” it, you’re probably hesitant to do anything about it now.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are at full capacity with patients who have been infected with COVID-19 and you’re trying to stay at home to help flatten the curve. You’d hate to increase the burden of doctors and nurses on the front lines or, worse yet, contract the disease yourself.

But musculoskeletal pain doesn’t schedule itself with global pandemics in mind. So what can you do about it?

The answer is simple: visit a chiropractor!

They may be small, but trigger points can cause a lot of pain.

Find out why and how trigger point massage can provide lasting relief.

You’re rubbing a sore muscle and suddenly flinch in pain. Ouch! Why does that one tiny spot hurt so much?

Chances are, you’ve developed a trigger point.

Trigger points and other myofascial pains are benign, but the pain they cause can be intense and debilitating. Luckily, trigger point massage is a simple, non-invasive way to release those tight spots and alleviate your pain. Let’s take a closer look at how trigger point massage works and what you can do to prevent trigger points from forming.

But first, let’s answer your most burning question, “What is a trigger point?”

Pain is pain, right? Does it matter who treats it?

Let’s compare a chiropractor vs. physical therapist to help you decide which is best for you.

That car accident did a number on your body. Sore back, whiplash, herniated discs…you’re in a lot of pain. So what can you do about it?

When it comes to healing from a car accident or sports injury, you have a few options. You can see a traditional doctor for a prescription (and risk any number of unpleasant side effects) or see a physical therapist.

Or would a chiropractor be better?

Is there really a difference? When it comes down to chiropractor vs. physical therapist, which one is the best choice to help you recover from your injuries?
