Chiropractic

This will depend on many things, most importanatly the cause of the knock knee (genu valgus). If the condition is in a young child, it will probably resolve on its own as the skeletal system matures, but it is advisable to have your chiropractor monitor this. If it is caused by pes plantis (flat foot) then orthotics can sometimes help. Some conditions are not repairable short of surgery, which usually isn't recommended unless there is severe pain or loss of function.

Your best bet would thus be to seek the advice of your chiropractor to have an exam.

Credit to Dr. Michael Polsinelli, DC who researched many different pencils to replace the Gold Standard of the Dixon Tru Color 2225. After much deliberation, based on a variety of characteristics such as hardness, erasability, boldness, sharpness, etc., he said his best choice was the Stabilio All Graphite 8008. I searched the Petaluma area where I practice and found an Art Supply shop that carried this pencil. It is indeed a great replacement for the tried and true Dixon. For those docs who haven't switched to digital x-rays, I also recommend the Stabilo 8008. It has a great feel when drawing on the x-ray and draws a smooth, dark fine line.

There are no similarities between chiropractic and massage therapy. They are very different, yet complimentary, as one benefits the other. Chiropractic medicine focuses on treating subluxations of the vertebral column, massage therapy focuses on the release of tight muscles, that in some instances, are related to the spine, as well as other parts of the body.

3 Weeks of chiropractic treatment for a low back injury is not uncommon, but it is more important to address what caused the low back injury and when it occurred as well as the overall health of the injured party. Chiropractors are very well trained in the diagnostics of neuromuscloskeletal injuries; therefore a patient would first undergo a full history and exam. During the exam the doctor will perform several functional, muscle and neural evaluation tests to assess the involved areas, if applicable radiographs may be taken to rule out excessive instability, fractures and/or pathologies. The complete evaluation will help the doctor develop a proper diagnosis and then complete a treatment plan. The doctor will then explain the report of findings to the patient and obtain informed consent, in order to treat. A treatment plan varies from patient to patient and depending on patient compliance, healing time and injured areas the length of treatment varies.

Chiropractic is a hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the treatment and prevention of disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system, joints and muscles.

Chiropractic therapy aims to allow your body to function optimally so that it can resist disease. This is done in a variety of ways, all of which are very important to optimum health:

1) Diet - proper nutrition is important for immune function, gastrointestinal function, cardiovascular function, etc. It is also very important for the prevention of many diseases (eg: diabetes, heart disease, etc.). Doctors of chiropractic are well trained to provide recommendations/advice with regard to your diet, and will often provide dietary advice as part of their treatment plan.

2) Exercise - getting enough exercise is also important for immune function, gastrointestinal function, cardiovascular function, etc. It is also very important for the prevention of many diseases (eg: diabetes, heart disease, etc.). Doctors of chiropractic are well trained to provide recommendations/advice with regard to exercise, and will often provide exercise advice as part of their treatment plan.

3) Spinal manipulation - Spinal manipulation is an effective means of drug-free pain control, as well as a means of ensuring your joints move properly (proper function/motion). Being pain free and having properly funtioning joints, muscles, etc., is necessary so that you can get the sleep, exercise, recreation, etc. required to have a happy and healthy life.

This could be anything....from simple muscle soreness to serious deep vein thrombosis. You should see a health care professional.

Pain in the buttock could be caused by many conditions. Most frequently this is a simple case of sacroiliac joint disfunction or hypertonic gluteal musculature. The fact that the pain does not travel into the thigh suggests that this is not a severe problem; usually the further the pain travels down the leg, the worse the underlying cause. Of course, based purely on a one sentence description, no one can be certain of the problem. Someone with pain as described above has two general options: 1) wait and see if it gets better, as it probably will over time 2) see a trained health care professional (eg: chiropractor) to get a diagnosis and see if the pain can be alleviated sooner than natural history will provide.

If the pain does not get better as soon as you would like, or gets worse over time, your best course of action would be to see a health care professional.

You figure at about $13,000/year for 26 injections (1 every other week), one injection is around $500.

DD Palmer, or Daniel David Palmer, founded chiropractic on September 18, 1895 while adjusting the back of a janitor named Harvey Lillard.

It was developed in Lexington,KY funded through NASA research in the 1970s. Astronauts used the material to reduce the G-force pressures placed on the body while in lift-off. The foam is a proprietary material exclusive to Tempurpedic International. Many other companies have developed similar foam mattresses.

You may be having body aches if you are sick, otherwise you should see a doctor or a chiropractor immediatly.

You shouldn't attempted (or let anyone else who isn't certified) "pop" your back at any time, but especially not when you're pregnant. Check your phonebook for a chiropractor, and failing that, ask your doctor to refer you.

MUA costs can range. But, two doctors need to perform the procedure at amin of 2000 each, an anesthesiologist is involved and will charge more than that, and the surgical centers fees are a few thousand, and a nurse or or tech is involved. Total, the procedure probably costs 10 thousand. The procedure is covered by most major medical insurance companies, but varies greatly by the state.

It is pure bunk and a scam.

Some might tell you to wear a posture brace. Do not do this. You should not be experiencing pain when you straighten. You may have arthritis in your spine or another spinal problem. Tell your parents a medical professional told you that you need to see your pediatrician or general practitioner ASAP. If your parents do not have health insurance see your school nurse or school principal to get help. There are free medical services for teens under 20 years old so get the free help if you have to. You must not let this problem continue.
