What is Chiropractic?

How does it differ from other treatments?

Dr. Toueg uses the same methods of consultation, case history, physical examination, laboratory analysis and x-ray examinations as other health care professionals. Beyond this care, Dr. Toueg will examine your spine and muscular system to evaluate structure and function. This is what makes a chiropractor different from other health care professionals.

Treatment Options

• Medical
• Surgical
• Chiropractic

Medical

Occasionally, muscle relaxants or pain killers may be necessary to help relieve back or joint pain. However drugs only mask the symptoms. They often do little to resolve the problem.


Surgical

In some cases surgery is the only alternative. However surgery is a very aggressive and potentially dangerous therapy. It permanently alters the function of a joint and should be considered only after conservative options have failed. In fact, a 1988 report of the American Academy of Orthopedic surgeons revealed that 80-90% of all disc conditions are successfully resolved with non-surgical care.

Chiropractic

It is likely that your condition was brought about by a physical event such as a sports injury, accident, fall or even stress. Therefore, your condition will best be resolved by a physical treatment.

Through the last decade, an abundance of scientific research has been published in support of chiropractic spinal manipulation. In fact, a recent study in the British Medical Journal concluded that chiropractic treatment of low back pain is superior to the standard medical regimen in both clinical results and cost effectiveness. It's easy to understand why chiropractic treatment is now the most commonly used conservative treatment for low back pain in the United States.


Chiropractic treatments are a safe and painless way to restore the quality of life that you deserve.

Read on to find out just how "chiropractic" can help you!

QUESTION: What is Chiropractic?

ANSWER: Chiropractic is based on the premise that good health and
Mobility rely on a normally functioning nervous system and a healthy spine. It is the science of locating nerve interference and adjusting the vertebrae to remove that interference. The goal of chiropractic is to bring you optimal health.

You can experience total health by keeping your spine aligned through specific spinal adjustments that Doctors of Chiropractic are uniquely qualified to administer.

Chiropractic care is a natural method of health care that has helped patients just like you for over 100 years.

QUESTION: How can chiropractic help me?

ANSWER: Chiropractic helps your muscles, joints, and nerves function the way
They were intended, so your body can heal itself-naturally-from illness and injury.

Chiropractic can relieve your pain, restore your joint movement, reduce susceptibility to injury, and slow down or prevent degenerative diseases, such as arthritis and disc disease.

Are patients really satisfied with chiropractic care?

Absolutely! The Gallup Organization found that 9 out of 10 patients find chiropractic care effective.


QUESTION: Why do I need chiropractic care when I'm not in pain?

ANSWER: Pain is often the last symptom to surface when you have a spinal
health problem. Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to detect early signs of degeneration, long before any symptoms occur. That's why you need chiropractic care even when you're not in pain.

We can help detect areas of your spine that are out of alignment. Then, we can correct these "problem" areas before they lead to greater dysfunction and pain.

QUESTION: What do chiropractors "treat"?

ANSWER: Chiropractors don't "treat" any specific disease or condition. We
Focus on identifying and correcting the "source" of your problem, rather than just eliminating your symptoms. As a result, chiropractic care helps the body heal itself from a wide range of conditions. That's why you can enjoy long-term relief from sciatica, neck pain, back pain, arthritis, headaches, and much more!

QUESTION: Is chiropractic safe?

ANSWER: Chiropractic care from this office is VERY SAFE. That's because it's being delivered by a licensed practitioner, and risk factors are identified in patients before any type of care is administered. Research shows that patient risk is considerably lower for chiropractic care when compared to medical care, due to the risks associated with prescription drugs and surgery. Positive proof of its safety record is the fact that…medical doctor's malpractice insurance premiums are, on the average, ten to fourteen times higher than those for chiropractors.

QUESTION: Does chiropractic really work?

ANSWER: YES! Oregon, California, and Florida State Worker's Compensation
Reports showed that back injuries improved in half the time with chiropractic care!

Since the U.S. government-sponsored guidelines for low-back pain were published in December of 1994, the entire nation has reported astonishing results.





QUESTION: Are chiropractic adjustments painful?

ANSWER: Most patients report that even when the come into our office with
Severe pain, spinal adjustments are not painful. Many patients report that they can "feel" the pressure lifting from their spine following an adjustment and often experience immediate relief from pain. Some patients even tell us that the feel a sense of total relaxation after adjustment.

QUESTION: What do spinal joints have to do with my "overall" health?

ANSWER: Your nervous system controls how you move and how you fee. Your
Spinal column, which is comprised of 24 moveable joints. These spinal joints can become misaligned as a result of daily stress, poor posture, improper lifting, a car accident, or even vigorous sneeze!

Spinal misalignments can cause your spinal nerves to become compressed, stretched, or irritated, interrupting nerve flow to cells, organs, and tissues throughout your body. Without proper nerve transmission, your body's vital systems can malfunction, including your immune system

Be removing nerve interference with gentle adjustments, chiropractic allows you to enjoy optimal health without using drugs or surgery!

QUESTION: Will I have to go to a chiropractor forever?

ANSWER: Let me pose a question to you, if I may. How long would you like
To stay healthy, active, and energetic? Depending on your answer, you may benefit from al least a monthly chiropractic visit to keep your spine in top condition for many years to come.

Just as you must continue to brush, floss, and keep regular dental visits to keep your teeth for a lifetime, taking care of your spine is also a lifelong process of eating right, exercise, proper rest, and regular chiropractic care.

QUESTION: Do Chiropractors see any value in drugs or surgery?

ANSWER: As your Doctor of Chiropractic, I see value in anything that enhances
your well-being and comfort, without jeopardizing your health. While chiropractic care offers an effective, drug-free, non-surgical alternative, chiropractors also, recognize that no single health care profession can universally attend to every health care need.
We work as a team with other health care professionals and will make any referrals in the best interest of you, the patient.

Call us to see how we can help you!

QUESTION: Is chiropractic recognized by the medical and scientific communities?

ANSWER: Most definitely! In fact, the Council of International Organization of
Medical Sciences recently stated, "The relationship between the medical and chiropractic professions worldwide has become increasingly one of mutual respect and collaboration".

Doctors of Chiropractic are well-educated practitioners who are required to complete four years of intense training at a professional chiropractic college, following two to four years of prerequisite study. All fifty states recognize the practice of chiropractic and require that Doctors of Chiropractic are board-qualified, licensed, and regulated according to stringent criteria.

Chiropractic care is quality health care for the entire family.

Don't Wait Until You're in Pain!

Pain is often the last symptom to surface when your have a spinal health Problem. Doctors of Chiropractic are trained to detect early signs of Degeneration-long before any symptoms occur. That's why your need Chiropractic care even when you're not in pain. Join the millions who
Have already discovered the benefits to preventive chiropractic care over "quick-fixes".

Chiropractic preventative care is much your dental care. Let's face it. You don't wait to visit your dentist until you're in pain. That's because you know that cavities could be forming without you even knowing it! And by the time you do feel pain from a cavity, permanent damage may have already occurred.

The same goes for chiropractic care. If you wait to see us until you've had fall or you are in pain, chances are damage has already been done! It's important that you maintain your spinal health before more serious problems occurs.

As highly trained professionals, we can identify and correct spinal interferences before any serious problems or outward symptoms occur. Our number one concern is helping you maximize your total health!

Whether you're feeling great and want to maintain your good health, or are bothered by a problem which just doesn't seem to go away-why not try chiropractic!

Chiropractic Helps More
Than "Bad Backs"

You may visit our office for the first time when you're suffering from pain and discomfort. The truth is, the best time to start chiropractic care is before you experience pain!

Chiropractic care is based on your bodies ability to heal itself if the nerve interference has been removed. Health is far more than the "absence of pain" - that's why chiropractic care is preventive care.

Preventive care is not a new idea. For over a century, chiropractic has offered families - just like yours - a natural way to correct the root cause of your problem rather that just treating your symptoms. Not only can chiropractic identify the immediate cause of your pain, it also offers you a way to prevent future problems from occurring in the first place, even if you're not experiencing pain at the present time.

Spinal Health is Total Health!

Subluxations, or spinal misalignments, occur along your spine as a result of physical, emotional and environmental stress. Your nerves, which exit the spine, carry vital information to your cells and organs.

Spinal misalignments can cause your spinal nerves to become irritated, inflamed, and stretched, and cause subtle changes that you won't feel early on.

If not treated, spinal misalignments cause injury to your soft tissues (such a muscles, ligaments, and joints) and can develop into more serious problems later on.

Unknowingly, your spine can be subjected to accumulated stress without symptoms, until one day you're sore, stiff, or can't move!

We can help detect areas of your spine that are out of alignment. Then we can correct these "problem" areas before the lead to greater dysfunction and pain down the road.

Once we work with you on a particular problem, it may take some time for your supporting, soft tissues to return to their correct position. After all, your connective tissues may be "used to" performing in a dysfunctional way. Imagine what your musculoskeletal system must look like after years and years of spinal stress!

It's important that you keep up regular chiropractic care so that your soft tissues can "re-learn" the proper way to function. And as your spine and musculoskeletal tissues adapt to their correct position, you may find that you feel better than before!




An Ounce of Prevention…

By coming to our office for regular chiropractic care, you'll help your body stay healthy for years to come. Regular spinal adjustments can become your body's line of defense against illness, disease, and pain.

You Could Have a Subluxation - Without Knowing it!

Do you suffer from chronic pain that just won't go away?

Do you feel tired for no apparent reason?

Your pain and lack Of energy could be the result of spinal joint dysfunction, or "subluxation". The early stages usually cause no symptoms but can eventually lead to nerve damage, if not corrected. Discover how chiropractic can restore your total health!

As your Doctor of Chiropractic, we want to help you learn how much better you can feel when nerve interference is eliminated from your spine.

You already know that when your car is out of alignment, your tires wear unevenly. Similarly, when your spine is out of alignment, your bones, discs, muscles and others soft tissues wear unevenly.

The more your musculoskeletal system is out of balance, the greater your chances of developing subluxations - or spinal misalignments.

Inside! Learns how chiropractic can help you! If you want to wake up in the morning without pain and if your long-term health matters to you…then you can't afford to ignore this vital health message.

8 Warning Signs of Subluxation

• Headache
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Leg or Arm Pain
• Joint Stiffness
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Fatigue

The worst symptom is no symptom at all!

Stop the Cycle of Pain & Sickness!

Squeeze your hand tightly around the tip of your finger and hold it for a few seconds. You've just "choked" the vital lifeline to your finger by creating an "interference."

That's a lot like what happens when your spine is out of alignment. The normal, healthy openings between your vertebrae become narrow as a result of the misalignment and "choke" the nerves that exit your spine.

If this pressure or interference is not removed, subluxations can lead to chronic pain, disabling arthritis and other health problems.

The nerve roots exiting your spine branch out in two different directions. One goes directly to the musculoskeletal system and the other goes to your vital organs. When your vertebrae are not in proper position, the resulting nerve interference can impair the function of any joint, system, organ or tissue served by that specific nerve.

For example, if you have a subluxation in your neck, you may experience neck pain or headaches. If you have a subluxation in your lower back, you may experience low-back pain or pain that "shoots" down your legs. A subluxation in the mid-back are may affect the nerves that supply your lungs, possibly leading to asthma.

By correcting subluxations and eliminating nerve interference, chiropractic care can often remove the cause of many diseases and disorders.

A comprehensive spinal examination can tell us where your nerve interference is coming from. That's why chiropractic care is so important to your good health.

The Vertebral Subluxation Complex: Made Simple!

Subluxations often occur with the misalignment of one or more bones. Most everyone has heard of a dislocated joint.

That's when the bone is displaced outside of its normal range of motion and is medically referred to as a luxation. On the other hand, subluxated vertebrae are misaligned, but still within their range of motion.

Spinal misalignments or subluxations can cause a "complex" or related problems. This condition is referred to as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex, which is comprised of five parts (see below).
According to the standard medical text, Gray's Anatomy, your nerves control and coordinate all organs and structures in the body. Spinal misalignments can cause: direct interference as a result of inflammation of surrounding soft tissue. Untreated, this can lead to disease and dysfunction!

VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION COMPLEX

Spinal Kinesiopathology : Abnormal joint motion

Neuropathophysiology : Abnormal nerve expression

Myopathology : Abnormal change in muscle function

Histopathology : Abnormal change in soft tissue

Pathophysiology : Abnormal function of internal organs and systems



The New Chiropractic Craig A. Meuller

"Structural" Misalignments Need

"Structural" Correction!



When your car needs to be realigned, you take it to an alignment specialist. Likewise, when your spine is out of alignment, you should be seen by a musculoskeletal specialist!

Chiropractors are specifically and extensively trained to remove subluxations and realign your spine with gentle, precise spinal adjustments. Other approaches such as massage, bed rest and drugs neither remove nerve interference nor realign your spine.

A spinal adjustment can restore spinal vertebrae to their proper position. Chiropractic adjustments provide relief from joint stiffness, inflammation and pain.

Chiropractic care removes nerve interference, restores proper range of motion to your spine and allows your body to heal itself, naturally - without drugs or surgery!

Get Ready For Relief!

Whether you're a working professional, a student, a stay-at-home parent or a retiree, your health matters! In your busy life, it's tempting to wait until you have pain to schedule an exam. After all, it's our nature to make an appointment when something hurts-not before!

The truth is, early stages of subluxation often occur without symptoms. That's why it's best to seek prompt care-before extensive damage is done.

You can maintain the health of your spine and stop or slow down further spinal degeneration by keeping al scheduled appointments. Now! You can be healthy and pain-free.

Chiropractic is a Winning Combination:

A quest for science and a passion for health!

It's reassuring to know that when you're faced with
an injury, chronic pain or other health challenges,
chiropractic offers you and your family a natural
alternative that's backed by scientific research.


Chiropractic is a conservative approach to health care that recognizes the relationship between your nervous system, structural balance and your overall well-being. Without the use of drugs or surgery, chiropractic care can remove nerve interference to enhance your body's own natural healing abilities!

There's a reason that the number of chiropractic patients has doubled in the U.S. over the past 15 to 20 years. That's because tens of thousands of patients have experienced restored health and mobility thanks to this drug-free, non-surgical method of natural health care.

Read on t find out just how well documented chiropractic is…and how we can help you!

1979: New Zealand Commission

The New Zealand government commissioned and extensive 20-month study on chiropractic care. Chiropractors, medical doctors and researchers from all over the world contributed to the project.


The 3,000 page report concluded: "We are satisfied that chiropractic treatment…is remarkably safe. Tens of thousands of patients have gone through chiropractors" hands…(and) they have apparently suffered no ill effects…We have no doubt that chiropractor's training adequately equips them to carry out their techniques without harm to he patient." (1)

1988: Florida Worker's Compensation Report

This report of health care costs for on-the-job injuries in Florida found that chiropractic care was almost half the cost of medical treatment. Researchers concluded that chiropractic care is a "cost-effective approach to the management of work-related injuries." (2)

Similar studies performed in Oregon and California found that patients who received chiropractic care for their back injury returned to work twice as fast as those who received medical care. (3)

1990: British Medical Research Council

This 20-year government study was conducted by T.W. Meade, M.D., at the request of the British Medical Research Council. It is considered the single-most important original research which scientifically demonstrates that chiropractic really works. Its published findings revealed that chiropractic care was twice as effective as medical care for the long-term relief from back pain. (4)

1991: The RAND Study

An exhaustive study of chiropractic was conducted by neurologists, medical orthopedists and chiropractors on behalf of the RAND Corporation, and internationally recognized non-profit research organization. They found spinal manipulation (as used by chiropractors) to be an effective and appropriate treatment for lo-back disorders.

Researchers discovered that patients treated by manipulation improved significantly faster as compared to those treated by medical care or having no treatment at all.

1993: Stano Study

This study compared health care costs of patients who received chiropractic care for neuromusculoskeletal problems with those treated solely by medical and osteopathic physicians.
After reviewing nearly 2,000,000 chiropractic patient records, researcher Miron Stano, Ph.D., of Oakland University, concluded that "patients that receive chiropractic care, either solely or in conjunction with medical care, experienced significantly lower health care costs".(6)

1993: Manga Report

The Ontario Government's Medical Health Care Program Commissioned a chiropractic study, headed by Pran Manga, Ph.D. After an in-depth analysis, the Manga Report concluded that there was an "overwhelming body of evidence" that chiropractic management, within its realm, "is greatly superior to medical management in terms of scientific validity, safety, cost effectiveness and patient satisfaction". (7)

1994: U.S. Government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)

In 1994, the U.S. government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research Commissioned a five-year study to assess various methods of treating low-back pain. The panel of researchers included medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and nurses.

After reviewing nearly 4,000 scientific studies, the 23-member panel of experts set forth national guidelines to establish safe, effective and cost-containing approaches to managing acute low-back pain.

The report clearly discouraged the use of injections, bed rest and surgery. (8) The researches conclude, "Spinal manipulation is effective in reducing pain and speeding recovery."

1998: U.S. Government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR)

In June 1998, a second breakthrough study was funded by the U.S. government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR).

This collaboration among scholars, researchers, medical doctors and chiropractors resulted in 100-page report highlighting the valuable role of chiropractic care.

The report states, "It has taken 100 years of self-directed, bootstrap efforts utilizing internal funds to bring chiropractic in the mainstream of healthcare…today the scope of chiropractic research now parallels that of medical research."(9)

Sports & Chiropractic

"The perfect Match"

At Any Age!

Have you given up golf because of a bad shoulder? Does an old injury keep you from playing your favorite sport? Does back pain stop you from playing your best? Chiropractic can relieve your pain and restore movement-on or off the field. Get the "winning edge" naturally!

Whether you play to win or just play for fun, Chiropractic can enhance your health and fitness program. Since chiropractic has helped athletes from youth soccer to the Olympics-imagine what it can for you and your family!

A child's growing bones and developing soft tissue are especially susceptible to injury. Chiropractic can correct structural problems that may otherwise interfere with your child's normal growth.

Teens are no stranger to injuries during those "invincible" years. And college-bound athletes are poised for more serious competition. That's why spinal care is a smart move, at any age.

Your may not be aware of a structural problem, but research shows that discs and muscles in the low back area can degenerate -without symptoms- in healthy adults from ages 19 to 74 (1). That's just the result of everyday spinal stress! Then as we age, our spine becomes even more vulnerable to injury.

Nearly every sports injury leads to spinal misalignments and muscular imbalances. In you've been injured, you need a spinal exam.

Don't be "sidelined" from your favorite activity. Discover how you can team up with chiropractic to prevent injury and improve your performance!

Study Says - "Chiropractic Enhances Performance"

A published study of athletes with no apparent injury showed significant improvement in athletic performance after only 12 weeks of chiropractic care.

The data supports that spinal misalignment can occur without symptoms and that realigning the spine "enables the body to functions and perform at a higher level". (2)

Chiropractic can enhance flexibility, endurance and performance by maintaining healthy joints and reducing the risk of injury.

Speed Up Your Recovery with Chiropractic!

Your musculoskeletal system includes your skeletal bones, related nerves and soft tissue (ligaments, muscles, tendons and cartilage). Your spinal column consists of 24 moveable joints which are at the center of your entire musculoskeletal system.

Your arms, legs, shoulders, ribs, neck and head are attached to the spine. And two-thirds of your muscles are attached to the spine. So it doesn't matter whether you hurt head -or your foot- your spine is likely to be pulled out of alignment!

The goal of chiropractic is managing any type of structural injury is to restore misaligned vertebrae to their proper position and mobilize the injured area as soon as possible. As your Doctor of Chiropractic, we are well trained to determine if and when a joint should be adjusted.

By restoring joint movement, chiropractic adjustments help to prevent the shortening of muscles and ligaments caused by immobility. Adjustments also help to prevent the formation of scar tissue in and around the joint.




Sport injuries often result in soft tissue damage. This type of injury can be more painful and more serious than a bone injury. As an example, a muscle tear heals with scar tissue, which lacks the flexibility and strength of the original tissue. If not properly managed, soft tissue injuries may lead to pain muscle weakness, joint stiffness and eventual disability.

Research shows that adjustments can reduce musculoskeletal pain associated with soft tissue injuries and restore joint function (3). Chiropractic care helps to beak up scar tissue and promotes quick healing of injured areas.

"Get Results" Without Drugs or Surgery!

Sprained a ligament while jogging? Twisted your ankle rollerblading? Strained a back muscle playing tennis? You don't have to get tackled to throw your body's framework off balance! Minor everyday injuries can cause major structural problems over time. That's why we don't limit our attention to an "injured" area.

Many sports injuries occur as a result of muscular imbalances. Symptom-free yet poorly healed injuries can create subtle imbalances, leaving one area stressed while another muscle group tries to compensate. Muscle imbalances can lead to spinal misalignments and soft tissue irritation.

Misaligned vertebrae or inflamed soft tissue may press on spinal nerves, causing pain, tingling or numbness. Soft tissue manipulation and chiropractic adjustments can improve muscle balance and reduce nerve interference. Proper nerve transmission helps your body to heal itself naturally, without drugs or surgery.

Often patients ignore injuries, hoping they'll just go away. Many injuries go unnoticed for months and even years! In time, your body may adapt to an injured state until you no longer feel any pain. A false sense of wellness may cause you to re-injure yourself. Spinal exams can help detect and correct "hidden" injuries.

Imagine Waking Up without a Headache!

When was the last time you woke up saying, "Wow! I feel great!"

How long has it been since you were headache-free?



Close your eyes and Imagine what it would be like to start and end your day without a headache. It can happen! Join the millions who have realized that they don't have to suffer from headaches anymore, with chiropractic!

Maybe you've had headaches for so long that you accept them as something your have to live with. The truth is, you don't have to live with headaches. The key to stopping your headaches is to find out their exact cause. That's what chiropractic is all about.

The first-and most important-step you can take is to visit a trained health care professional who will take your headaches seriously. There's nothing more frustrating than being told your headaches are "all in your head" or that "you have to learn to live with it". With chiropractic you can live WITHOUT HEADACHES!

To find out if your headaches can be helped by chiropractic, you'll need to come in for a detailed history and careful examination. Many headaches start with a spinal misalignment in the neck, or cervical spine, which can produce pain and headaches.

Your nerves carry important information about pain and musculoskeletal function. A spinal misalignment can lead to nerve interference and dysfunction. When this occurs, you may experience muscle stiffness, spasms, muscle tension, pain, and eventually chronic headaches. Read on to see how chiropractic can help you find lasting headache relief!


Headache "Triggers" Can Lead to Subluxation

Chemical (i.e., hormone changes), physical (i.e., structural problems), and emotional (i.e., anxiety) stressors can cause headaches. Even commonly used headache medications can actually intensify headaches!

Each of these headache triggers can disrupt the delicate balance of your nervous system. They can eventually alter the proper position of your spinal column, causing a series of subluxations (spinal misalignments). Untreated subluxations can lead to irreversible spinal degeneration.

Chiropractic care can help correct spinal misalignments created by various stressors, regardless of the cause. For a drugless, non-surgical, lower-cost approach to treating headaches and related musculoskeletal problems, call our office today. Expect and end to your cycle of pain!

Get Rid of Your Pain!

"If the primary cause of your headaches is altered nerve impulses, chiropractic can help get rid of your headaches"

Let's start the road to recovery by identifying your specific type of headache. While there are virtually hundreds of different types of headaches, yours probably fits into one of the categories listed bellow. In reality, they may overlap. Take a moment to think about what brings on your headaches.

Migraine Headaches

One-side pain associated with nausea


Moderate to severe pain


Throbbing sensation


Extreme Light, sound, and touch sensitivity


Visual "aura"





Tension Headaches

Steady, dull pain that "caps" your scalp


Mild to moderate pain


Tension in your neck or head


Mild light or sound sensitivity








Cluster Headaches

Pain near the forehead or around the eyes


Excruciating pain


Penetrating, non-throbbing pain


A series of headaches


Watery, swollen eyes





Let Chiropractic Help You!

Headaches are a symptom of a problem somewhere in the body. Doctors of Chiropractic do not "treat" headaches. Rather, chiropractic is a natural method of correcting underlying structural problems that can lead to headaches.

Your cervical spine is comprised of a series of vertebral joints through which vital nerves pass. Chiropractic can relieve your pain by aligning any misaligned vertebra and correcting the nerve interference that may be causing your headache.

Chiropractic adjustments reduce the nerve, muscle, and ligament irritation known to cause headaches. No general manipulation, no medication, no massage, and no exercise can substitute for a specific chiropractic adjustment!

Good News For Bad Backs!

Each year millions of people find relief from back pain with chiropractic care. Chiropractic can help correct the cause of your pain and restore your back to full function, while preventing other back problems in the future.

The primary weapon against back pain is a specific form of manipulation called a "spinal adjustment". When properly administered by a trained professional, chiropractic adjustments have been scientifically proven to be highly effective in dealing with pain of spinal origin.

The U.S. government recently sponsored a study which concluded that most patients with simple backache, and many others with nerve root pain, should consider manipulative treatment. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research found spinal manipulation to be a "safe and effective" treatment for adults with back problems.

Read on to find out how chiropractic can help punt and end to your back pain!

What You Should "Know" About Your Back

Chances are, you've taken your back for granted…that is until your back stops working the way it should!
Understanding how your back works and what you can do to prevent back problems can help keep your back "trouble-free".

The key to understanding your back is to understand your spine. Your spine plays an important role in your body's health. Not only is it involved in every move you make, it also houses your body's lifeline-your spinal cord.




Your spinal cord extends vertically through the length of your spine through an opening in each one of your vertebrae. Your central nervous system, made up of your brain and spinal cord, generates electrical impulses that control and coordinate every cell, tissue, and system in your body.

Your nervous system interacts closely with your musculoskeletal system. Your ability to stand, move, bend, and twist comes from this complex network made up of nerves, muscles, ligaments, and bones. Your bones and ligaments provide structural support. Your muscles control your movement, while your nerves carry electrical impulses to your muscles.

Proper alignment of your spine's 24 vertebrae is essential for total health. Unfortunately, daily wear and tear, such as poor posture, improper lifting, old injuries that didn't heal properly, or lack of body conditioning can cause your spine to get out of alignment.

A spinal misalignment is called a "subluxation". Subluxations cause electrical impulses traveling along your nervous system to be slowed, lost, or confused. Muscle spasm, prolonged periods of pain, delayed recovery from injury, as well as increased chances of permanent damage and degeneration can result.

Fortunately, there is an answer!

The Manga Report, commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health, states:

"Spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low-back pain"

Chiropractic Works!

By eliminating areas where your nerve roots may be pinched, stretched or compressed, we can relieve your back pain…and a whole lot more!

Chiropractic care removes spinal nerve interference to allow your nervous system to operate the way is was intended.



Spinal Adjustments can correct subluxations, allowing your nervous system to function efficiently without interference, while improving your muscle balance to create a natural flow of motion. With proper spinal alignment, painful pressure on your muscles, ligaments, and spinal nerves can be relieved.

It's tempting to reach for a quick-fix by taking pain-killing drugs when you're in pain. But drugs only mask the pain; they do not correct the underlying problem. The goal of chiropractic is to identify the cause and then correct the problem so sit doesn't recur.

If you've been told that your need back surgery, take a closer look at your options. Many patients who have been told they need surgery have corrected their back problems with chiropractic care!

The # 1 priority of chiropractic is to help you relieve your pain while restoring joint mobility and function.

Helpful Hints For Combating Low Back Pain:

Make sure your work surface is at a comfortable height for you.

Rest one foot on a low stool if you stand for long periods of time.

Use a pillow or rolled -up towel behind the small of your back when driving long distances, and make frequent stops to walk around a bit.

Try sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees, or sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees and your knees bent.

Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.

Chiropractic Can Relieve Your Neck Pain!

hiropractic Can Relieve Your Neck Pain!

Your neck is subject to physical and emotional stress every
day, and that can spell PAIN later on! Join the millions of
people who are now pain-free because of chiropractic care.
Choose chiropractic and eliminate your neck pain!

A Real "Pain in the Neck"

"Chiropractors are specially trained to deal with pain of spinal origin"

Pain is a signal that something is wrong. It's your body's way of telling you that you need help!

The stress of day-to-day living is difficult enough. But when you're in pain, life can be unbearable! That's why it's important to take care of yourself.

If you suffer from neck pain or stiffness, you should seek professional chiropractic care. Chiropractors are specially trained to deal with pain related to spinal problems. And chiropractic has been scientifically proven to relieve neck pain!

Read on to discover how chiropractic can help erase your neck pain!

Your "Vulnerable" Neck

Your neck is a delicate balance of muscles, ligaments, nerves, and vertebrae. Your neck, or cervical spine, consists of 7 vertebrae separated by cushiony discs at the top of your spine. Each day, your neck is subjected to all sorts of forces that can upset this delicate balance, leaving it vulnerable to injury and generation!

If any of your neck's vertebrae get out of alignment that can mean pain and dysfunction! If not taken care of properly, these "vertebral misalignments" or subluxations, could lead to other problems down the road.

That's why chiropractors specialize in removing subluxations through spinal adjustments, restoring function and erasing your pain! Chiropractors are also specially trained to help slow down the effects of everyday wear and tear and degeneration.

Why suffer needless pain? Put an end to your pain with chiropractic!

It's a Serious Problem!

Your neck performs a delicate balancing act every day. As funny as it may sound, just by holding up your head, your neck balances the equivalent of a 10-pound ball on the end of a stick! That's hard work!

Not only does your neck have the difficult job of balancing your heavy head, it also houses vital blood vessels and nerves, along with the thyroid glands, the larynx, the esophagus, the trachea, the brainstem, the spinal cord, and the spinal column.

Any neck injury must be taken seriously and closely evaluated. Even "minor" injuries can cause "major" problems when it comes to your neck.

Unfortunately, traditional methods of treating neck pain don't always get to the root of the problem. You may have been told before that you should "take two aspirin" and take it easy for a while.

However, resting your neck can actually cause further injury to your neck because your muscles begin to deteriorate when you don't use them. By taking harmful drugs or "babying" your neck, you may actually be making your neck problem worse!

Common Causes of Neck Pain:

Accidents (falls or "whiplash" injuries)

Poor posture

Weak neck muscles

Stress

Everyday wear and tear

Joint problems

Degeneration



What Chiropractic Can Do For You…

Chiropractic takes an active approach toward ending your neck pain. Rather than just giving you pain relievers to treat your symptoms, we can find and correct the cause of your pain.
You may be suffering neck pain as a result of a "whiplash" injury from an automobile accident or fall. Or, you may complain of pain in your neck from sitting in front of a computer all day, lifting heavy objects, or even picking up a child!

Chiropractic adjustments can restore proper function to the vertebrae, muscles, and ligaments in your neck. We may also recommend exercises that you can do at home to strengthen your muscles and restore normal range of motion to your neck.

Your neck pain could also be the result of referred pain. This occur when stress on your nervous system or degeneration of your tissues produces pain in another area.

With gentle chiropractic adjustments, we can eliminate interference from subluxations and generation along your spine, and restore proper nerve flow. Whatever the cause, chiropractic is serious care for a serious problem.

Scientifically Proven relief!

Studies have shown that chiropractic is safe and effective care for your neck pain. One study, funded by the National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company, found that chiropractic is a safer approach to neck pain that prescribing pain-killing medication, which can have dangerous side effects.

Another study, published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 1995, found chiropractic to be more effective than using acetaminophen (aspirin or Tylenol). Patients who received chiropractic care reported significant improvement in their neck pain and neck function than those patients taking aspirin or Tylenol. Chiropractic patients had better strength and range of motion after treatment as well.

The results are in! Chiropractic is proven relief for your neck pain.

This study supports the belief that chiropractic adjustments can effectively reduce stress naturally!
