Headaches

Headaches affect just about everyone at some point and they can present themselves in many different ways. Some people only experience pain in one part of their head or behind their eyes, some people experience a pounding sensation inside their whole head, and some people even experience nausea. The pain itself may be dull or sharp and may last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. Fortunately, very few headaches have serious underlying causes, but those that do require urgent medical attention.

Chiropractic care has been shown to decrease the frequency, duration and intensity of headaches. Drs Arthur and Shay have treated thousands of people for headaches. Don't wait any longer, come in and get rid of your headache.

Watch Out For the Lawnmower

  Summer is when lawnmowers come out weekly.  It is also the time of the year when there are serious accidents to kids because of lawnmowers.  In 2007, according to the Consumer Product safety Commission 210,000  people - 16,200 of the children - were treated in doctors' offices, clinics and emergency rooms for lawnmower-related accidents.  The tragedy is that most of these accidents to children could have been prevented if the adults operating the machines had been more careful or just used common sense procedures.   Many of the new lawnmowers certain safety features, but still won't help if a child runs in front of the mower, or while sitting in front of an adult on a riding mower, falls off and gets his foot caught in the blade.  Here are some safety precautions: - Keep children out of the lawn area while mowing - If a child enters that area TURN off the machine immediately - Learn how to turn off the machine quickly and always leave all ...

The Health Benefits of Stretching

Have you done your stretches?” You probably hear this question all the time from your chiropractor. But why is stretching so important to your health? It all has to do with proper alignment in the musculoskeletal system. The Musculoskeletal System Your skeleton is a collection of over 200 bones that give your body its shape and structure. In between adjacent bones you have joints, or articulation, and holding the joints together, are ligaments. These are the main components of the system that gives your body support, protects your vital organs, and allows for the foundation around which movement occurs. The skeletal system is a static structure on its own. However, when you add muscles you create a dynamic, functional musculoskeletal system capable of performing work, maintaining an upright posture, transporting your body from one place to another, and allowing for personal expression using language and gestures. With few exceptions (like the movement of the eye or tongue), a...

Facet Joint Syndrome-A Chiropractic Specialty

You may not have heard of facet joints, but they are extremely important to the well-being and function of your musculoskeletal system. Facet joints are special articulations in the spine that allow one vertebra to move over another. They come in pairs, located in the very back of each vertebral body (except for the very top vertebra – the atlas). Depending upon their orientation, they will influence the plane of movement that each vertebra will typically move through. For instance:  In the lumbar spine (lower back), the facet joints are oriented more front-to-back.  This allows these vertebrae to move easily in flexion/extension - less in rotation.     In the thoracic spine (attached to th e ribs), the facet joints shift to a more side-to-side orientation, which allows for less flexion/extension and more rotation In the cervical spine (neck), the angle the facet joints assume will vary from level to level. The very uppermost two vertebrae have fac...
