It’s a common problem that everyone faces as they get older: the bad back. You throw your back out moving heavy boxes, or maybe while you were jogging. After trying aspirin, which doesn’t work, you try other types of painkillers that just don’t do the job. Finally, a healthy and very active friend suggests that you find a chiropractor. Don’t say no just yet; your friend may be on to something. As you ponder your decision, here are some beneficial reasons to find a chiropractor:

Down-To-Earth

Of course you have the option of visiting your regular health care provider. But, most likely they will poke around a bit, take your temperature and prescribe you strong pills to kill the pain. But numbing the pain so it returns doesn’t do you any good. Eventually you end up with more pain and a large doctor bill. To fix the problem naturally and prevent it from coming back, find a chiropractor. A chiropractor will not only help heal your pain, but give you tips on the proper diet and exercise to prevent it from coming back.

Accessible Service

Now that you have made the smart choice to find a chiropractor, you actually have to find one. About 60% of chiropractors are solo practitioners, so it isn’t difficult to find a chiropractor that remembers who you are, and what your ailments are. With almost every business listed on the Internet, a few keywords could get you a list of local chiropractors to choose from. Or if you don’t have access to the Internet, flip through your local Yellow pages; you will definitely pinpoint a professional, caring chiropractor.

Money Smart Health

When it comes to health care, money does matter. If you choose to find a chiropractor to help you with your aches and pains, it will cost no more than a regular visit to the doctor. As alternative forms of medicine are growing in popularity, most health care plans are now covering visits to a chiropractor. So, natural medicine no longer hurts your pocket book along with your back.

Keep your health care simple. There are plenty of them out there so, find a chiropractor. Even if you are unsure, just go in for a first visit and see how it goes. Chiropractors are just as qualified as a regular doctor; they just keep things as natural as possible.

Although they are practically a necessity for today’s students, improperly worn backpacks are a leading cause of back and shoulder pain for millions of children. As students head back to school, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) offers parents the following checklist to help select the best backpack for their children:

– Is the backpack the correct size for your child? The backpack should never be wider or longer than your child’s torso, and the pack should not hang more than 4 inches below the waistline. A backpack that hangs too low increases the weight on the shoulders, causing your child to lean forward when walking. — Does the backpack have two wide, padded shoulder straps? Non-padded straps are not only uncomfortable, but they also can place unnecessary pressure on the neck and shoulder muscles. — Does your child use both straps? Lugging a heavy backpack by one strap can cause a disproportionate shift of weight to one side, leading to neck and muscle spasms, low-back pain, and poor posture. — Are the shoulder straps adjustable? The shoulder straps should be adjustable so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. The backpack should be evenly centered in the middle of your child’s back. — Does the backpack have a padded back? A padded back not only provides increased comfort, but also protects your child from being poked by sharp edges on school supplies (pencils, rulers, notebooks, etc.) inside the pack. — Does the pack have several compartments? A backpack with individualized compartments helps position the contents most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on your child’s back, and try to place the heaviest items closet to the body. — Are all those books really necessary? If the backpack is still too heavy, talk to your child’s teacher. Ask if your child could leave the heaviest books at school, and bring home only lighter hand-out materials or workbooks - or perhaps books on CD-ROM.

The ACA recommends that parents help children pack their backpacks properly and make sure children never carry more than 10 percent of their body weight. For example, a child who weighs 100 pounds shouldn’t carry a backpack heavier than 10 pounds.

Has your horse ever just quit working for you? Maybe started refusing the arena, bucking, doing things out of character, resistance to bending one way or another? If only they could talk to us (some things we might not want to hear!)

Recently my mare, Sugar Baby, an 11 year old quarter horse, started refusing the arena and not “wrapping” her first barrel, which happens to be a left turn for her. She turns her second and third barrels (right-hand turns) just fine. So we made her an appointment with Dr. Justin Campbell, AVCA certified Doctor of Chiropractic. On his examination of Sugar Baby, he found her left hip was locked and she had numerous problems in her neck, from her withers up to her poll. She has a problem with pulling back when tied, so she had really messed up her neck over the years.

I asked Dr. Campbell about the most interesting animal that he has ever treated. It was a guinea pig (a family pet) who had been accidentally dropped and hurt its pelvis. After the adjustment, she got better and within 3 days was walking normal again. more on chiropractors

Selbyville resident Debbie Caldwell suffered a back injury when she was in an auto accident more than four years ago and walking became a chore that she accomplished with the help of a cane. Running out of options, Caldwell turned to area chiropractors to help her recover.

“I saw a chiropractor in Fenwick Island and she did very well for me,” Caldwell said.

After a year, she hit a plateau in her recovery and moved onto a different chiropractor who was able to adjust her spine so she no longer needed the cane to walk. “I totally believe in chiropractors — I had wonderful results,” she said. “I still go for ‘tune-ups.’ more on chiropractors

The sound of bones cracking is not exactly pleasant, but in the chiropractors consulting room it is a sound, which means that your body is being repaired. Chiropractic is a medical discipline that treats mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system, which might cause various health troubles. “Our job is to make the human body work as efficiently as possible,” explains Aurelie Belsot, a 29-year-old French chiropractor living and working in Istanbul.

Accidents, falls, stress, tension, overexertion, and countless other factors can result in displacement or derangement of the spine, causing irritation to spinal nerve roots. Chiropractic reduces or eliminates this irritation of spinal nerves and makes the human body operate more efficiently and more comfortably. more on chiropractors
