The Most Common Type of Headache

Headaches are one of the most common complaints for which patients seek chiropractic care. Chiropractic is especially helpful in the treatment of headaches because the three nerves that exit the top of the spine (upper neck) are often the cause of or directly related to headaches. These three nerves travel into the head and have to pass through a very thick group of muscles in the upper part of the neck near where these muscles attach to the base of the skull. This is why when you have headaches and rub the back of the neck, the muscles may feel tight and or tender. In fact, if enough pressure is applied over one of these three nerves, pain will radiate into the head following the course of the nerve, sometimes all the way into the eyes. When chiropractic treatment is applied in the upper neck region, it can reduce a headache and accompanying neck pain because the muscle tension is decreased and joint motion is restored.

Chiropractic Care and the Elderly

The chiropractic treatment of low back pain (LBP) has been reported to be very safe and highly effective. In fact, in 1994, guidelines were published recommending that chiropractic treatment of low back pain should be a first consideration / treatment of choice over other forms of back care health services. Since that time, more and more studies have been published showing continued advantages of chiropractic care over many other forms of LBP care.

What Happens in "Whiplash?"

Whiplash is a slang term for an injury that occurs to the neck after the head has been literally "whipped" either forwards and backwards or sideways after a sudden jar such as in a slip / trip and fall, a physical assault, or a motor vehicle collision. But what REALLY happens in a "whiplash" injury? To answer this, let’s talk about: 1. The mechanism of injury; 2. The different types of injuries; and 3. The treatment options.

What is "Good Head Posture?"

Have you ever noticed how many people have terrible posture? One of the most common faulty postures is called "forward head carriage" or "anterior based occiput." Other terms are "hump back" or slouching. There are several reasons for this common postural fault. One is the weight of the head is, on average, approximately 10-13 pounds and if the head is positioned too far forwards, the muscles in the upper back and neck tighten up much more than normal, fatigue, and become painful. Also, the muscles that attach to the skull have different degrees of strength. They also attach and pull at different angles, contributing to the common forward head carriage posture. The muscle of the chest are much stronger than those in the mid and upper back and tend to pull our shoulders forward. The following pictures offer a good view of both a faulty posture as well as a "good" posture. Notice the forward shift in the line in the pictures of poor posture and backwards shift in the good posture pictures.

Cumulative Trauma Disorders of the Upper Extremities

Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) are a broad diagnostic category characterized by musculoskeletal injuries that develop gradually due to microtraumas that cannot fully heal because of repeated stress, force, or awkward postures over time. Since many occupations and hobbies involve repetitive motions, CTDs commonly affect the arms and hands. Examples include:

Spinal Pain in Schoolkids from Backpack Use

While findings vary across studies, research generally agrees that some degree of spine pain is common in school-aged children—from elementary school through middle and high school. Multiple factors can contribute to spine pain in students, and one that routinely appears in the literature is backpack use. The issue is not necessarily backpack use itself, but the stress heavy, poorly fitted, or improperly worn backpacks place on a child’s developing body.

Try These Exercises First Thing in the Morning...

Has your chiropractor ever asked, "Did you do your exercises?" How did you respond? If you’re like 96% of the general population, you probably scrambled, looking for excuses that your chiropractor would "buy." Of course, he or she is not out to humiliate you or make you feel bad about not being the "perfect patient" who does exactly what they request. In fact, only about 4% of you will indeed continue your exercises after the pain stops reminding you to do them. So, what are some tricks we can play on ourselves so we actually do our exercises? Certainly, we know there must be a way. For example, we have successfully adopted brushing our teeth on a regular basis so we should be able to add exercise to our daily "habits."
