Stupid S*!T That Doctors Say

Stupid S*!T That Doctors Say   Keep in mind that all of these conversations are second or third-hand accounts. They are reports given by patients informing me what their medical doctor told them. Or reports of a patient’s chiropractor reporting what their patient said their MD told them. I realize that this is not HARD EVIDENCE. However, the frequency in which I hear these types of anecdotes is excessive, to say the least. As a…

Don’t Ignore Whiplash

Greenville, NC chiropractors are seeing more and more car accident patients lately. With the constant growth in Greenville, NC there are more people on the roads and more people getting into car accidents. As a chiropractor, I often take for granted that the importance of spinal health is not always understood both by victims of car accidents but also by other chiropractors and healthcare professionals.

Children in Car Accidents

Children in Car Accidents There are very significant differences in children and adults. If you are involved in a car accident, do not make the mistake of assuming that because you may not be in pain or hurting that: 1. You are not injured 2. Other passengers in the car will have equivalent injuries or lack of injuries. What you are doing and how you are sitting during a car accident has an impact on…

​Chiropractor Rant About Injections for Migraines

Chiropractor Rant About Injections for Migraines I’m am going to try and keep calm but this one really frustrates me. It saddens me that I hear so often that people are getting injections for their migraines. Another particularly common statement that preempts this is “I went to a chiropractor for “x” number of years and it never helped”.  First off. IT was not the problem.  Chiropractic is the implied “it” that somehow didn’t work but…

​Chiropractors and Car Accidents

Chiropractors and Car Accidents The medical community is woefully undertrained in diagnosing and treating soft tissue injuries. That may not sound like a big deal but to a chiropractor who understands the seriousness that whiplash induced injuries from a car accident can possess, it is a VERY big deal. Car accidents are one of the top causes of injury in the U.S. Chiropractors, MDs, teachers, police, sanitation workers; essentially everybody drives a car. As a…

Did I Get Shorter?

  Did I Get Shorter? The answer is likely YES! The question though is “Why?” Everybody gets a little shorter by the end of the day.  Gravity takes its toll on the discs. Between each of the vertebrae in your spine which will start to compress by the end of the day. Assuming you’ve been upright during the day, and you will, in fact, be a bit shorter than you were when you woke up…

Balance is the name of the game for chiropractors, especially those of us with a structurally focused chiropractic office. If your foundation is crooked or unlevel, then you will be too. The body has an ideal structure which, the closer your spine approximates the more likely you are to NOT have headaches, neck pain, mid back pain, low back…

Does a Goose Get Headaches?

comment No Comments
Does a Goose Get Headaches? I have no idea, but odds are if you have a “goose neck” you are much more likely to have headaches or migraines. We can all pretty much agree that the anatomy of a goose is significantly different than that of a human. Particularly the neck of a human, unlike a goose, was designed to have a “C” shaped curve. This is why if someone describes you as having a…

Minor Car Damage ≠ Minor Pain and Symptoms

comment No Comments
Minor Car Damage ≠ Minor Pain and Symptoms Auto Accidents Having only a small amount of damage to your car in an auto accident does not mean that YOU will have only minor injuries or pain.  This is by far one of the most destructive myths related to auto accident injuries and whiplash.  This myth unnecessarily affects millions for years in the form of chronic pain and suffering from headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain,…

For Headaches Try Chiropractic

comment No Comments
For Headaches  Try Chiropractic   According to the American Chiropractic Association, fourteen percent of the patients who regularly visit chiropractors go for relief from headaches. This is probably due to the fact that while there are many medications traditional doctors might prescribe; chiropractors treat headaches by getting to the cause of the problem, which helps the body to correct it.   Chemical, physical, and emotional stressors don’t just trigger headaches, they can also disrupt the…
