Low back pain is a common complaint of my traveling clients. Traveling, no matter if by car, bus, or plane, causes all types of unusual stress on our musculo-skeletal system, and by extension, our nervous system. Traveling causes our body to do something that it shouldn't do: remain still and confined. Can you remember the last time you sat in the middle seat of a plane? Injuries can also occur when hoisting carry-on bags into overhead compartments or grabbing suitcases from the [...]

Wallet in back pocket causing back pain? Everyone (at least everyone I know) sits, but some people sit more than others. For example, if you are an office worker, there is a very good chance you sit for the majority of your day. Even though sitting has been associated with low back pain by many, research has shown that “sitting alone was not associated with the risk of developing low back pain.” But (and this is a very big BUT) sitting [...]

As a chiropractor, my goal is to help my patients become pain-free. My desire, however, is to see my patients understand the reasons for why their pain began in the first place and to teach them how to correct those underlying causes. In the past, I have concentrated on educating patients about posture and illustrating home care maneuvers and exercises that would balance their supportive muscles. But even the most well-intentioned patients get sidetracked by their busy lives and no habit [...]

The Joint at the point of your spine is known as the coccyx. A condition that commonly appears in a chiropractic office is pain around the "tailbone" officially known as coccydynia. Mary Smith (not her real name) came to Eastside Chiropractic experiencing extreme pain at the tailbone, especially when she moved from sitting to standing, or sat on a hard surface like her kitchen chair. Mary had already been to her primary care doctor. He had given her a donut shaped cushion [...]

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that impacts every aspect of life for those who suffer from it. The diagnosis of fibromyalgia is often given to people with chronic widespread pain when doctors cannot identify a specific condition or cause such as tissue damage. As a result, fibromyalgia remains elusive and confusing. Since people don't know what causes it, some think it is a physical illness while others assume it is a purely psychological condition. This of course begs the question: What [...]

Chiropractic and Insurance If you take a look at healthcare in the United States, you see that the dominant industry of healthcare is conventional Western medicine. For business reasons, health insurance companies cater to those who control the industry: medical doctors and hospitals. There is a long history of prejudice against chiropractic by political medicine, which is one of the primary reasons why chiropractic care is poorly covered by many insurers. Many research studies have shown that chiropractic care is both [...]

What is whiplash? “Whiplash” describes what happens when the neck is suddenly and forcefully jerked, like in a car accident.

Symptoms of a whiplash can include stiff and painful neck movements, weakness, headaches, [...]
