Because chiropractic deals directly with the spine and the soft tissue that surrounds that area, it is the perfect choice in dealing with all types of back injuries. The practice of spinal manipulation has been around for hundreds of years and with today’s ever-progressing technology in the area of injury related pain, now is the best time to consult a highly qualified chiropractor in your area. Even if you have tried conventional western medicine with no lasting results, there is hope out there to relieve your pain and regain the quality of life you once had before you sustained your spinal injury. Look at the list of following injuries, and if you fit into any of them, a chiropractic doctor is your best choice for relief.
Auto Accident Injuries
Millions of people every year are involved in automobile accidents that result in sever spinal and neck injuries. The most common being whiplash. Whiplash is when the vertebrate and muscles in the neck are overextended both forwards and backwards in a very quick motion. This commonly occurs in rear-end collisions and is the number one reason why people sue. The symptoms of whiplash can vary from ringing in the ears, to dizziness, to vision problems and may not show up for days or weeks after the accident. A chiropractor is extensively schooled on what to look for when it comes to whiplash and can treat it very effectively. A combination of adjustments and massage to get everything back in line and loosened up will be the protocol of this injury; which are all done with no pain, no needles, no medications, and in a 100% non-invasive fashion.
Sports Injury
There are hundreds of athletes out there — both professional and recreational– that suffer from sports related injuries every year. These injuries can bring even the most conditioned athlete to his knees in a matter of seconds and keep him there under the crushing pain. He or she may be suffering from a herniated disc that is pushing on nerve endings in the spine. Depending on the location of the herniated disc, the injured athlete could be suffering from such symptoms as a burning sensation running down their back, shooting pains in the legs, muscle spasms, or even weakness and fatigue. Since athletes cannot allow themselves too much downtime, a chiropractor is an excellent choice for recovering from this type of injury. Today’s state-of-the-art traction devices are used in chiropractic offices every day and exert a slow, even pulling on the spine in two directions in order to stretch the vertebrate apart and allowing the disc to reoccupy its previous location. The chiropractor will advise the athlete to get regular massages and may even recommend progressive rehabilitation to keep the injured area strong and healthy so the same injury does not reoccur.
On the Job Injuries
These injuries are extremely common and can really affect an employee’s ability to make a living and not have to live in constant pain. Not surprisingly, whiplash and herniated or bulging discs commonly fall into this injury category and can be treated in the same fashion as auto accident victims and injured athletes.

The concept of manual manipulation of the spine, and other joints in the body, has been around for a long time. In fact, ancient writings from China and Greece dating between 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain.
Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician, even published a text detailing the importance of manual manipulation. In one of his writings he explains, “get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases”. Evidence of manual manipulation of the body has also been found among the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Syria, Babylon, Japan, the Incas, Mayans and Native Americans.
The official beginning of the American chiropractic profession dates back to 1895 when Daniel David Palmer fixed the hearing of Harvey Lillard through manual adjustments to his back. Almost instantly Palmer knew he was onto a good idea. A mere two years later, in 1897, Dr. Palmer opened the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Iowa, which continues to train doctors of chiropractic to this day.
Throughout the past few decades, the profession of chiropractic has gained considerable recognition and scientific support. Numerous studies that have clearly demonstrated the value of chiropractic care in reducing health care costs, improving recovery rates and increasing patient satisfaction. One very large study from Canada even concluded that chiropractic care would save hundreds of millions of dollars annually in work disability payments and direct health care costs. Several major studies conducted by the U.S. Government, the Rand Corporation and others, have all demonstrated the incredible value of chiropractic care.

Adam O’Connor asked:
In a study published in Chiropractic Research Journal in 2000, researchers found that the reduction of upper-cervical subluxations by NUCCA adjustment resulted in a stabilization of plasma glucose levels during a three-hour fasting period.
In medicine, a subluxation is a partial dislocation. In chiropractic medicine, a vertebral subluxation is described as a situation in which a spinal vertebra has lost its correct juxtaposition with one or both of its adjacent vertebrae to a degree less than a luxation in such a way as to impinge upon nerves and get in the way of the transmission of mental impulses, thus upsetting general health and causing “dis-ease.”
There are as many methods to correct subluxations as there are chiropractors. When you experience a structural insult, you usually have a bone that has been injured and forced from its normal position “A” to abnormal position “B.”
But the chiropractor hardly ever makes an adjustment that moves any bone back from B to A. In the more typical case, the chiropractor makes an adjustment that “begins the movement of bones and joints.” It remains to be seen if acupressure mixed with spinal manipulation can be a beneficial addition to this.
The Centers for Disease Control quoted the following figures in its 2002 National Diabetes Fact Sheet: – Six percent of the population – seventeen million people – have diabetes – The total medical cost of diabetes in the United States is $132 billion – Diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death on US death certificates in 1999 – Heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, dental disease, difficult pregnancies, and amputations are some of the complications of diabetes – More than 60 percent of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations were performed each year among people with diabetes
The most disturbing news about diabetes is that one major form of the disease – Type II diabetes – has reached epidemic proportions. The facts and figures relating to diabetes are sobering. Diabetics can live longer, healthier lives and considerably decrease health problems connected to their ailment by using thorough diabetes self-management approaches that include following a program of exercise, nutrition, medication and self-monitoring under the supervision of a health-care team.
Chiropractic care provides an extremely important function for diabetics, and the outcome is nothing less than amazing. Spinal nerve interference has been acknowledged in scientific literature to be a contributing factor of endocrine and metabolic disorders including diabetes. Chiropractic health care is founded on the principle that a good working nervous system is vital to the general well-being and function of the human body.
One of the most often named causes of diabetes is spinal injury. The nerve supply to the digestive organs is compromised by stress on nerve centers in the thoracic area of the spine. Most often the problem is in the 5th – 10th thoracic vertebrae. Thus, spinal adjustment is a primary therapy for the treatment of diabetes.

Brandon asked:
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Doctors of Chiropractic – often referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as “spinal manipulation,” also called “chiropractic adjustment.” The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
At BP Chiropractic we are dedicated to providing the highest quality chiropractic and rehabilitative care for our clients. We look forward to offering you the care that you deserve. We guarantee excellence from the very first visit.We are attorney recommended for any personal or work related injuries and always welcome walk-ins.

HW asked:
tic Care As Your Best Option
Chiropractic care is a profession that treats musculoskeletal problems trough manual therapy and spine manipulation. Chiropractic care mostly deals with spinal problems and back pains. Spine manipulation, although it sounds painful, is the primary approach, but chiropractic also deals with joints, muscles and the overall framework of the body.
Chiropractic comes from the Greek word “cheir” which means hand and “praxis” which is action. Combined, chiropractic literally means “done by hand” or “treatment by hand”. Chiropractors are the professionals who practice chiropractic profession. They are licensed by the state and are required to undergo formal education before practicing the chosen profession.
Modern chiropractic started in 1800s when Daniel David Palmer performed the first spinal manipulation on a patient. Chiropractic went far after that and became the third largest medical field and the largest in complementary and alternative medicine. Currently, there are more than 50,000 licensed chiropractors in United States alone. They are even incorporated and included in the U.S. military health system.
Chiropractors nowadays are not only knowledgeable in treating musculoskeletal disorders but are also involved in nutrition and healthy lifestyle counselling. Chiropractors nowadays, also know something about physiotherapy, herbal therapy, heat/cold therapy acupuncture, exercise programs and other methods of instruction. They also include this kind of treatment in their treatment methods.
The Philosophy Behind
There are two basic concepts that chiropractic practitioners follow: (1) the body functions according to its structure and condition, and (2) health and healing relies on the interaction between the mind and the body.
An example would be when the spine is in its abnormal position. This could result to some nerves in the spine to get irritated and therefore can lead to back pain and muscle pain. The functionality of the spine can get affected, thus the whole body framework gets affected. This is the reason why it is important for chiropractic to reposition the spine to alleviate any physical discomforts.
This is why there is less emphasis on surgery, the body can heal through the patientís ability to recuperate, healthy lifestyle and environment. With chiropractic, illnesses can be cured by understanding not only the symptoms but also the reason for the illness to totally remove the sickness. Chiropractic also relies on the hands-on approach and is patient-centered.
A chiropractic professional should not only be good with the medical profession, but also employs critical thinking, open-mindedness and appreciation of the natural order of things. It is also important for chiropractic clinics to have a conducive environment where patients will be encouraged to recover and function properly.
Chiropractic Benefits
Most patients of chiropractic care would have back pains, arthritis, muscle stiffness, muscle spasms and other problems. Pain is relieved and the patient can move better. Joints and tissues would heal and pain would leave. A new chiropractic patient may find the treatment painful at first. A body which has been out of line for a long time may feel different the fits time it has been put into place.
Patients who have undergone chiropractic treatment would say that they would feel more energy, sleep better at night, lesser stress and tension. There are patients who prefer to have chiropractic care over medical treatments since it is perfectly natural, involves no drugs and needles and affordable.
Patients also choose chiropractic care because it is safe. Since there are no drugs used in the treatment, there is less possibility that the patient would get addicted to medication. Surveys also showed that malpractice among chiropractors is considerably lower compared to medical practitioners.
Other exceptional benefits of chiropractic care include:
- Improved immunity and overall health
- Improved athletic performance
- Improved posture
- Improve spinal structure and makes spinal disks healthier
- Shows significant effects on slowing down the aging process
Chiropractic also showed a great help among pregnant women. Chiropractic adjustments showed that it could help expectant mothers to deliver easily. There are also studies showing that pregnant women who have undergone chiropractic adjustments can decrease their labor time by 50 percent.
Another great advantage of getting chiropractic care is that the pain relief can be instant. You get to be relieved from nagging and recurring problems like back pains, indigestion and neck pain. Cures to these diseases can be found in chiropractic and are not present in any other kind of medicine.
