Muscles, Ligaments, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Scoliosis, Muscle Spasm, and Trigger Point Therapy, Trapped Nerves, Cervicalgia.

Low Level laser Therapy (LLLT)  also known as Cold Laser Therapy/Treatment

Low Level Laser Therapy(LLLT) also so known as Cold Laser Therapy has been tested in over 200 clinical trials (RCTs) and published in the world’s top medical journals including a review by The Lancet, a clinical study in the journal PAIN and is acknowledged by the World Health Organisation Bone and Joint Task Force , and published in the journal Spine.

The lasers used  are certified as  low level laser therapy  (LLLT).  For the past 30 years the technology of low level laser therapy (also known as Cold Laser Therapy has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world  such as Europe, Russia and Japan.  In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy.  It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally.  In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain.  These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.

Low Level Laser Therapy(LLLT) is a treatment where by a low level laser is utilized to treat chronic and acute pain.  Low level laser therapy may be used for patients suffering from Sciatica, back and neck, hip, knee, ankle, foot pain and conditions a, musculoskeletal pain, joint pain associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, neuropathy, Achilles tendonitis, migraine headaches, sprains and strains,trapped nerves, carpal tunnel syndrome , back, neck, shoulder pain and other associated pains. Low Level laser therapy also treats conditions such as TMJ, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and other inflammatory and scarring conditions. By increasing serotonin levels, low level laser therapy contributes to the body’s own healing process. Non-thermal and non-invasive, low level laser therapy involves a combination of low level laser and electric stimulation and is one of the most effective healing therapies. Completed in ten to twelve sessions,  low level laser therapy(LLLT) can significantly reduce treatment time and costs.

Low Laser Therapy(LLLT) has been tested in over 200 clinical trials (RCTs) and published in the world’s top medical journals including a review by The Lancet, a clinical study in the journal PAIN and is acknowledged by the World Health Organisation Bone and Joint Task Force  and published in the journal Spine.

Low Laser Therapy (LLLT) Research on Neck Pain and”Whiplash” (WAD) 

Low level Laser treatment for neck pain.

Neck pain  is common, often persistent, and responds poorly to medication. So it is encouraging to read that a relatively novel, non-invasive treatment shows evidence of effectiveness. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 randomised controlled trials of low-level laser therapy (LLLT)’ yielded 820 patients, for whom data was pooled. LLLT was found to reduce pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain. Low-level laser – or cold laser – is yet to be established as a medical treatment but, according to Wikipedia, papers are appearing at the rate of around 25 per month, mainly investigating treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.

Safety

Low level laser therapy(LLLT) is not harmful. Lasers used for tissue stimulation have insufficient strength to damage cells. 30 years of clinical studies and clinical use have shown no adverse effects whatsoever.

The Advantages of Low Intensity Laser Therapy

• Non-invasive
• Non-toxic
• Easily applied
• Highly effective
• Cure rate > 95%
• No known negative side effects

Mechanism of Action

Therapeutic lasers work by supplying energy to the body in the form of photons of light. The tissues and cells then absorb this energy, where it is used to accelerate the normal rate of tissue healing.

Therapeutic Benefits of Laser Therapy:

• Anti-inflammatory Action: Laser light reduces swelling, leading to decreased pain, less stiffness, and a faster return to normal joint and muscle function.
• Rapid Cell Growth: Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
• Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
• Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: Laser light reduces formation of scar tissue, leading to more complete healing, with less chance of weakness and re-injury later.
• Increased Vascular Activity: Laser light increases blood flow to the injured area.
• Stimulated Nerve Function: Laser light speeds nerve cell processes which may decrease pain and numbness associated with nerve-related conditions.

Frequency of Treatments

While some patients get immediate results, others require 6-10 treatments before seeing a lasting effect. Less severe or acute injuries will require fewer treatments than chronic or severe conditions.

Chiropractic Treatment.

Chiropractors Are fully Registered

Chiropractors are fully registered in the UK with The General Chiropractic Council (BCA) and the British Chiropractic Association (BCA). Chiropractors usually get awarded either Bachelor of Science degree or Master of Science degree upon graduation. You should always check there credentials, this is important in the respect of their professional liability insurance.  Chiropractors aim to diagnose and treat problems associated with the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially of those relating to the spine restoring normal function of the body. They rely on using a hands-on approach by the process of manipulation of the spine without the use of drugs surgery. Occasionally the manipulation of the extremities is required to alleviate symptoms.

Founded in 1895, chiropractic treatment was once thought of as a purely complementary and alternative therapy, their importance is now widely recognised by medical and healthcare professionals as a beneficial and legitimate branch of therapy in the treatment of spinal and musculo-skeletal conditions. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends chiropractic treatment within NHS.

Chiropractic in Sport

In modern sport, increasing levels of intensity have brought extra physical demands from athletes. This has also unfortunately led to an increase in injuries. Fast moving, high contact and tactical positioning based competition has led to an increased pressure on backs and musculo-skeletal systems. Injuries can come in a variety of types. Some can be played through, others lead to time on the sidelines and even worse still, there are occasions when injuries fail to respond to traditional treatment. However, in recent years we have seen the emergence of chiropractic treatment geared towards the needs of an athlete. The treatment has always stressed the importance of maintaining proper function in all areas of body which in turn promotes fast and natural healing from injuries, thus making the treatment nearly ideal for athletic training. Based on the founding principal of human body as a fully integrated being, chiropractic treatment places its focus on spinal, muscular, tendon, ligament, nerve and joint related care. Professionals from a variety of sports both international and domestic now deploy chiropractic therapy and a primary source of treatment with some of the attending specialists at the Olympic Games falling into the category of trained chiropractors.

Chiropractic addresses the function of central nervous system which is the “master system” of the body controlling ad regulating function of all other subsystems including musculoskeletal system. Properly aligned skeletal system would improve performance, reduce the risk of injury and improve healing of existing injuries.

Chiropractors specialize in the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. To some extent, the chiropractic approach to sports injuries is similar to that of traditional medical care.

Usually chiropractor’s initial examination would include standard orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose whether a particular pain is due to a strain, sprain, or disc problem. X-ray examination is also performed to screen for fractures and other bone disorders, such as osteoporosis.  

Chiropractic management of sports injuries often includes widely used physical therapies such as ice, Cold laser therapy to reduce swelling and inflammation, or electronic muscle stimulation for muscle strains and spasms. 

The Importance of Restoring the Structural Body Balance.

Chiropractic management of sport injuries has an emphasis on adjustment and improving function of spinal and other joints through manipulation as well as restoring overall structural balance of the body. Chiropractor assess the effect of the muscle injury on the rest of the body as it would cause tightening of other muscle and joints in order to maintain general balance. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore the natural balance that was present before the injury.

In modern sport, increasing levels of intensity have brought increased physical requirements from athletes. This has also unfortunately led to an increase in injuries. Fast moving, high contact and tactical positioning based competition has led to an increased pressure on backs and physical structural systems. Injuries can come in a variety of types. Some can be played through, others lead to time on the sidelines and even worse still, there are occasions when injuries fail to respond to traditional treatment. However, in recent years we have seen the emergence of chiropractic treatment geared towards the needs of the athlete.

The treatment has always stressed the importance of maintaining efficiency in all areas of body function which in turn promotes fast and natural healing abilities, thus making the treatment nearly ideal for athletic training. Based on the founding principal of a person as a fully integrated being, chiropractic treatment places its focus on spinal, muscular, tendon, ligament, nerve and joint related care. Professionals from a variety of sports both international and domestic now deploy chiropractic therapy and a primary source of treatment with some of the attending specialists at the Olympic Games falling into the category of trained chiropractors.

Chiropractors are fully registered practitioners who aim to diagnose and treat pain in those suffering problems of the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially of those relating to the spine, and try to restore normal function of the body. They rely on using a hands-on approach by the process of manipulation of the spine without the use of drugs surgery. Occasionally the manipulation of the extremities is required to alleviate symptoms.

Founded in 1895, chiropractic treatment was once thought of as a purely complementary and alternative therapy, their importance is now widely recognised by medical and healthcare professionals as a beneficial and legitimate aid in the treatment of spinal conditions. The theory is based upon the misalignment of the spine, particularly that which interferes with the nervous system.

Many mechanical problems of the back can benefit from the consultation of a chiropractor, with treatments including the freeing of stiff joints which in turn will reduce nerve irritation.

During initial consultation chiropractor will take a full history from and perform a thorough physical examination. Using a holistic approach the chiropractor will ask many questions relating to occupation, diet, existing exercise programmes and lifestyle and a treatment plan devised using this information. Apart from the manual treatment chiropractor will also work in improving the posture and will advise on preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of pain by suggesting activities and exercises that will help strengthen the spinal components, and those to avoid.

What Is Chiropractic Treatment? 

Chiropractic treatment has gained increasing acceptance by both consumers and insurance agencies, many of which now offer plans covering the treatment. Chiropractic is  safe, there are a few risks associated with it.

Chiropractic, which means ” done by hand,” is a  system founded approximately 100 years ago by Daniel David Palmer. It is based on the theory that many illnesses originate in the spine, and for this reason it focuses on spinal manipulation. Chiropractic physicians may also utilize physical therapy techniques, as well as methods drawn from other branches of alternative medicine.

Clinical Applications

Most visits to chiropractors are for back neck joint pain, but it is also commonly used to treat:

• Headache  pains
• Neck, shoulders, back (disc injury), hip injury and conditions including joint  pain
• Pain in other areas such as the TMJ ( jaw), headaches, migraine, soft tissue injuries, knees, ankle injury and conditions.
• Pregnancy-related pelvic pain

How Chiropractic Works 

Since its origin, chiropractic theory has based itself on “vertebral subluxations,” or vertebrae that have shifted position in the spine. These subluxations are said to impede nerve outflow and contribute to dysfunction of various organs. A chiropractic treatment is supposed to “realign” these “missed placed” vertebrae. , this is called an “adjustment.”

Other theories suggest that chiropractic manipulation may relieve pain by “loosening” vertebrae that have become relatively immobile rather than by changing their position. In addition, the sudden movements of manipulation may alter the response patterns of nerves in the spine, again relieving pain.

Depending on your condition, chiropractic treatment is usually conducted on a two- or three-times-a-week basis, for a month or so. Some chiropractors feel that regular care is necessary to help maintain sound health and fitness. Others will ask to see you only as needed. This depends on your injury or condition at the time of your consultation

What Do Studies Show About Chiropractic Treatment? 

Does It Work? 

There is evidence that chiropractic treatment may relieve pain. The best evidence regards migraine headaches and other forms of headache. Studies on chiropractic for back, neck, hip, knee ankle and joint pain have by far the best results. Chiropractic treatment does seem to be very effective compared with other commonly used treatments for these conditions.

Is It Safe? 

Chiropractic manipulation is safe, rarely causing significant side effects. The most common reaction is local discomfort following therapy, which generally disappears within hours of treatment. Other side effects include temporary headache, tiredness, and discomfort radiating from the site of the adjustment. To put this in perspective, however, the rate of complications from chiropractic is extremely low; according to many estimates, only one complication per million individual sessions occurs. Among people receiving a course of treatment involving manipulation of the neck,

By comparison, serious medical complications involving common drugs in the ibuprofen family (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs) are far more common. Among people using them for arthritis, NSAIDs result in hospitalizations at a rate of about 5 in 1200 people, and death at a rate of 5 in 12,000. The rate of complications with these common over-the-counter drugs is perhaps 100-500 times greater than with chiropractic.

Is It Cost Effective? 

There is a lot of evidence that chiropractic may be less expensive than other forms of care.

If You Decide To Visit A Chiropractor 

If you’re suffering from headaches, migraine, TMJ ( jaw) pain, back pain or neck pain,shoulders, hip, pregnancy-related pelvic pain, joint pain, knee and ankle injuries and conditions  including soft tissue injuries seeking chiropractic care is worth a try, since it appears to be at least as helpful as other commonly used therapies. Chiropractic treatment is now available within United States of America’s  Military,and Medisure with the help and insistence from President Barack Obama.

Look for a chiropractor who:

• Does not require long-term or preventive care
• Does not routinely take x-rays, However, X-rays may be necessary, so always look for a chiropractor within house x-ray facilities, for this can be very important in diagnosing certain conditions.
• Does not object to you seeing a specialist for a second opinion
• Limits his practice to the treatment of musculoskeletal problems (pain/discomfort associated with muscles and joints)

Chiropractic in Sport

In modern sport, increasing levels of intensity have brought extra physical demands from athletes. This has also unfortunately led to an increase in injuries. Fast moving, high contact and tactical positioning based competition has led to an increased pressure on backs and musculo-skeletal systems. Injuries can come in a variety of types. Some can be played through, others lead to time on the sidelines and even worse still, there are occasions when injuries fail to respond to traditional treatment. However, in recent years we have seen the emergence of chiropractic treatment geared towards the needs of an athlete. The treatment has always stressed the importance of maintaining proper function in all areas of body which in turn promotes fast and natural healing from injuries, thus making the treatment nearly ideal for athletic training. Based on the founding principal of human body as a fully integrated being, chiropractic treatment places its focus on spinal, muscular, tendon, ligament, nerve and joint related care. Professionals from a variety of sports both international and domestic now deploy chiropractic therapy and a primary source of treatment with some of the attending specialists at the Olympic Games falling into the category of trained chiropractors.

Chiropractic addresses the function of central nervous system which is the “master system” of the body controlling ad regulating function of all other subsystems including musculoskeletal system. Properly aligned skeletal system would improve performance, reduce the risk of injury and improve healing of existing injuries.

Chiropractors specialize in the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including joint sprains and disc injuries. To some extent, the chiropractic approach to sports injuries is similar to that of traditional medical care.

Usually chiropractor’s initial examination would include standard orthopaedic and neurological tests to diagnose whether a particular pain is due to a strain, sprain, or disc problem. X-ray examination is also performed to screen for fractures and other bone disorders, such as osteoporosis.  

Chiropractic management of sports injuries often includes widely used physical therapies such as ice, Cold laser therapy to reduce swelling and inflammation, or electronic muscle stimulation for muscle strains and spasms. 

The Importance of Restoring the Structural Body Balance.

Chiropractic management of sport injuries has an emphasis on adjustment and improving function of spinal and other joints through manipulation as well as restoring overall structural balance of the body. Chiropractor assess the effect of the muscle injury on the rest of the body as it would cause tightening of other muscle and joints in order to maintain general balance. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore the natural balance that was present before the injury.

Chiropractors are fully registered practitioners who aim to diagnose and treat pain in those suffering problems of the joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, especially of those relating to the spine, and try to restore normal function of the body. They rely on using a hands-on approach by the process of manipulation of the spine without the use of drugs surgery. Occasionally the manipulation of the extremities is required to alleviate symptoms.

The theory is based upon the misalignment of the spine, particularly that which interferes with the nervous system.

Many mechanical problems of the back can benefit from the consultation of a chiropractor, with treatments including the freeing of stiff joints which in turn will reduce nerve irritation.

During initial consultation chiropractor will take a full history from and perform a thorough physical examination. Using a holistic approach the chiropractor will ask many questions relating to occupation, diet, existing exercise programmes and lifestyle and a treatment plan devised using this information. Apart from the manual treatment chiropractor will also work in improving the posture and will advise on preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of pain by suggesting activities and exercises that will help strengthen the spinal components, and those to avoid.

What Is Chiropractic Treatment? 

Chiropractic treatment has gained increasing acceptance by both consumers and insurance agencies, many of which now offer plans covering the treatment. Chiropractic is  safe, there are a few risks associated with it.

Chiropractic, which means ” done by hand,” is a  system founded approximately 100 years ago by Daniel David Palmer. It is based on the theory that many illnesses originate in the spine, and for this reason it focuses on spinal manipulation. Chiropractic physicians may also utilize physical therapy techniques, as well as methods drawn from other branches of alternative medicine.

Clinical Applications

Most visits to chiropractors are for back neck joint pain, but it is also commonly used to treat:

• Headache  pains
• Neck, shoulders, back (disc injury), hip injury and conditions including joint  pain
• Pain in other areas such as the TMJ ( jaw), headaches, migraine, soft tissue injuries, knees, ankle injury and conditions.
• Pregnancy-related pelvic pain

How Chiropractic Works 

Since its origin, chiropractic theory has based itself on “vertebral subluxations,” or vertebrae that have shifted position in the spine. These subluxations are said to impede nerve outflow and contribute to dysfunction of various organs. A chiropractic treatment is supposed to “realign” these “missed placed” vertebrae. , this is called an “adjustment.”

Other theories suggest that chiropractic manipulation may relieve pain by “loosening” vertebrae that have become relatively immobile rather than by changing their position. In addition, the sudden movements of manipulation may alter the response patterns of nerves in the spine, again relieving pain.

Depending on your condition, chiropractic treatment is usually conducted on a two- or three-times-a-week basis, for a month or so. Some chiropractors feel that regular care is necessary to help maintain sound health and fitness. Others will ask to see you only as needed. This depends on your injury or condition at the time of your consultation

What Do Studies Show About Chiropractic Treatment? 

Does It Work? 

There is evidence that chiropractic treatment may relieve pain. The best evidence regards migraine headaches and other forms of headache. Studies on chiropractic for back, neck, hip, knee ankle and joint pain have by far the best results. Chiropractic treatment does seem to be very effective compared with other commonly used treatments for these conditions.

Is It Safe? 

Chiropractic manipulation is safe, rarely causing significant side effects. The most common reaction is local discomfort following therapy, which generally disappears within hours of treatment. Other side effects include temporary headache, tiredness, and discomfort radiating from the site of the adjustment. To put this in perspective, however, the rate of complications from chiropractic is extremely low; according to many estimates, only one complication per million individual sessions occurs. Among people receiving a course of treatment involving manipulation of the neck,

By comparison, serious medical complications involving common drugs in the ibuprofen family (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs) are far more common. Among people using them for arthritis, NSAIDs result in hospitalizations at a rate of about 5 in 1200 people, and death at a rate of 5 in 12,000. The rate of complications with these common over-the-counter drugs is perhaps 100-500 times greater than with chiropractic.

Is It Cost Effective? 

There is a lot of evidence that chiropractic may be less expensive than other forms of care.

If You Decide To Visit A Chiropractor 

If you’re suffering from headaches, migraine, TMJ ( jaw) pain, back pain or neck pain,shoulders, hip, pregnancy-related pelvic pain, joint pain, knee and ankle injuries and conditions  including soft tissue injuries seeking chiropractic care is worth a try, since it appears to be at least as helpful as other commonly used therapies. Chiropractic treatment is now available within United States of America’s  Military,and Medisure with the help and insistence from President Barack Obama.

Look for a chiropractor who:

• Does not require long-term or preventive care
• Does not routinely take x-rays, However, X-rays may be necessary, so always look for a chiropractor within house x-ray facilities, for this can be very important in diagnosing certain conditions.
• Does not object to you seeing a specialist for a second opinion
• Limits his practice to the treatment of musculoskeletal problems (pain/discomfort associated with muscles and joints)

Runners Knee

The symptoms of this leg injury include pain directly under the knee cap or the surrounding area. Ascending or descending stairs will become painful. Runners’ knee injury responds well with biomechanical evaluation, introduction of orthotics, and Cold Laser Therapy section. For in depth information on knee pain, please go to left corner under “Pain”or”Conditions”

Heel/Arch Pain

Heel and arch pain are a common type of injury which may vary from tightness at the bottom of the foot to an intense heel pain. An X-ray will sometimes reveal the “heel spur” on the bottom of the heel bone. This may be due to an overpronation that will respond well to the use of orthotic. (Orthotics can be used to prevent a large number of heels and arch injuries). For in depth information on foot ankle, please go to “Pain’ or “conditions”

Runners or Ilio-Tibial Band Syndrome

These Leg injuries can manifest themselves anywhere along the entire length of this fibrous connective tissue located on the side of the thigh between hip and knee joints. The pain can be intense at either the outside of the hip or outside of the knee. A biomechanical evaluation from foot to hip is needed to diagnose the problem and prevent further injuries occurring.

(Listed in our Cold Laser Therapy Section under Inflammatory conditions.)

Achilles Tendonitis

Inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel. May be stiff at the beginning of a day and feel better later on in day. The Pain varies from a dull ache to acute, stabbing-like pain. Treatment should include sports massage to the calf muscle, evaluation of pelvis and low back alignment.

(Listed in our Cold Laser Therapy Section under Inflammatory conditions.)

For in depth information on Ankle pain, please go to left corner under “Pain”or”Conditions”

Shin Splints

This leg injury often causes pain along the front of lower leg. Symptoms vary from dull tightness to a severe pain along the lower leg. These Injuries have a higher incidence of occurrence in athletes especially when foot overpronation is present.

(Listed in our Cold Laser Therapy Section under Inflammatory conditions.)

Stress Fractures

Stress Fractures are located in either the lower leg (tibia) or one of the metatarsals (toes), the 2nd and 3rd toes being the most commonly involved. This type of leg injury can be difficult to diagnose as it has similarities and can be confused with shin splints. Healing requires two to three months of rest.

(Listed in our Cold Laser Therapy Section under Inflammatory conditions.)

Cold laser Therapy/Treatment

The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Clinic are certified as Cold Laser.  For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Russia and Japan.  In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy.  It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.

Cold Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally.  In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain.  These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.

Low Level Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, non-invasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as;

Sports Injuries. Ligaments.  Tendons.  Tendonitis. Stress Fractures. Shin Splints and Soft tissue injuries.

Chronic Neck and Back pain. “Whiplash” (WAD) injury Neck Pain. Cervical Disc injury.

During initial consultation chiropractor will take a full history from and perform a thorough physical examination. Using a holistic approach the chiropractor will ask many questions relating to occupation, diet, existing exercise programmes and lifestyle and a treatment plan devised using this information. Apart from the manual treatment chiropractor will also work in improving the posture and will advise on preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of pain by suggesting activities and exercises that will help strengthen the spinal components, and those to avoid.

What Is Chiropractic Treatment? 

Chiropractic treatment has gained increasing acceptance by both consumers and insurance agencies, many of which now offer plans covering the treatment. Chiropractic is  safe, there are a few risks associated with it.

Chiropractic, which means ” done by hand,” is a  system founded approximately 100 years ago by Daniel David Palmer. It is based on the theory that many illnesses originate in the spine, and for this reason it focuses on spinal manipulation. Chiropractic physicians may also utilize physical therapy techniques, as well as methods drawn from other branches of alternative medicine.

Clinical Applications

Most visits to chiropractors are for back neck joint pain, but it is also commonly used to treat:

• Headache  pains
• Neck, shoulders, back (disc injury), hip injury and conditions including joint  pain
• Pain in other areas such as the TMJ ( jaw), headaches, migraine, soft tissue injuries, knees, ankle injury and conditions.
• Pregnancy-related pelvic pain

How Chiropractic Works 

Since its origin, chiropractic theory has based itself on “vertebral subluxations,” or vertebrae that have shifted position in the spine. These subluxations are said to impede nerve outflow and contribute to dysfunction of various organs. A chiropractic treatment is supposed to “realign” these “missed placed” vertebrae. , this is called an “adjustment.”

Other theories suggest that chiropractic manipulation may relieve pain by “loosening” vertebrae that have become relatively immobile rather than by changing their position. In addition, the sudden movements of manipulation may alter the response patterns of nerves in the spine, again relieving pain.

Depending on your condition, chiropractic treatment is usually conducted on a two- or three-times-a-week basis, for a month or so. Some chiropractors feel that regular care is necessary to help maintain sound health and fitness. Others will ask to see you only as needed. This depends on your injury or condition at the time of your consultation

What Do Studies Show About Chiropractic Treatment? 

Does It Work? 

There is evidence that chiropractic treatment may relieve pain. The best evidence regards migraine headaches and other forms of headache. Studies on chiropractic for back, neck, hip, knee ankle and joint pain have by far the best results. Chiropractic treatment does seem to be very effective compared with other commonly used treatments for these conditions.

Is It Safe? 

Chiropractic manipulation is safe, rarely causing significant side effects. The most common reaction is local discomfort following therapy, which generally disappears within hours of treatment. Other side effects include temporary headache, tiredness, and discomfort radiating from the site of the adjustment. To put this in perspective, however, the rate of complications from chiropractic is extremely low; according to many estimates, only one complication per million individual sessions occurs. Among people receiving a course of treatment involving manipulation of the neck,

By comparison, serious medical complications involving common drugs in the ibuprofen family (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs) are far more common. Among people using them for arthritis, NSAIDs result in hospitalizations at a rate of about 5 in 1200 people, and death at a rate of 5 in 12,000. The rate of complications with these common over-the-counter drugs is perhaps 100-500 times greater than with chiropractic.

Is It Cost Effective? 

There is a lot of evidence that chiropractic may be less expensive than other forms of care.

If You Decide To Visit A Chiropractor 

If you’re suffering from headaches, migraine, TMJ ( jaw) pain, back pain or neck pain,shoulders, hip, pregnancy-related pelvic pain, joint pain, knee and ankle injuries and conditions  including soft tissue injuries seeking chiropractic care is worth a try, since it appears to be at least as helpful as other commonly used therapies. Chiropractic treatment is now available within United States of America’s  Military,and Medisure with the help and insistence from President Barack Obama.

Look for a chiropractor who:

• Does not require long-term or preventive care
• Does not routinely take x-rays, However, X-rays may be necessary, so always look for a chiropractor within house x-ray facilities, for this can be very important in diagnosing certain conditions.
• Does not object to you seeing a specialist for a second opinion
• Limits his practice to the treatment of musculoskeletal problems (pain/discomfort associated with muscles and joints)

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends Chiropractic Treatment
