The birth process may be one of the most traumatic events of our live.

I got this email from Perry Marshall: Matt, Yesterday I heard from a very reliable source that Facebook has triggered a sea change in the nursing home industry. This comes from a client of one of my business mentors.

Dr. Peter Adams at Life Mission Chiropractic in Jacksonville shares this information from Maximized Living. The obstetricians and gynecologist are figuring out that a bad spine affects your organs!  AM J Obste  Gynecol 200 Dec, 183  (6)  1381-4; discussion 1384 In this study, they took 363 patients who had some type of female organ problem and they measured their lumbar curve (lower back)

Foot pains can be a nasty problem for Pottsville residents.  One of the most common foot problems we treat is Plantar Fasciitis.  Pronounced as “plantar fash-ee-eye-tis”.   Foot Pain and Heel Spur   Plantar means “Foot”, Fasciitis means “Inflammation of the fascia” Plantar Fasciitis is a serious, painful, and progressing illness that occurs when the long, flat ligament along the bottom of your foot develops tears and inflammation.

Few conditions leave their victims as miserable and agitated as headaches.  There are many causes of headaches including stress, odors, bright lights, noise, fatigue, certain foods, hormonal shifts, allergies, as well as genetic predisposition.  With all the possible causes of headaches, it’s not surprising many people seek help from many different approaches such as conventional medical therapies like pharmaceuticals and injections.  Others prefer a non-drug treatment approach such as chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling. Usually, there is not one specific cause of headaches so treatment can focus on various areas.  For example, muscles that attach to the base of the skull in the neck and upper back are often very short and tight, resulting in pressure or a squeezing effect on the surrounding nerves and blood vessels — resulting in headaches.  Chiropractic treatment includes methods aimed at reducing the tightness found in the joints and muscles. One of these approaches is called spinal manipulation or “adjustments” where the joints in the neck are moved to restore motion and reduce joint fixations.

Schuylkill County and Pottsville residents: If chiropractic care helps patients get better faster and costs the patient and/or insurance company less, shouldn’t EVERY low back pain patient FIRST see a chiropractic physician before any other type of doctor?  That is in fact, what should be done, based on a recent report! On October 20, 2009, a report was delivered on the impact on population, health, and total health care spending.  It was found the addition of chiropractic care for the treatment of neck and low back pain “…will likely increase value-for-dollar in US employer-sponsored health benefit plans.”  Authored by an MD and an MD/PhD, and commissioned by the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, the findings are clear; chiropractic care achieves higher satisfaction and superior outcomes for both neck and low back pain in a manner more cost effective than other commonly utilized approaches. The study reviews the fact that low back and neck pain are extremely common conditions consuming large amounts of health care dollars
