Are You Tired of Having Back Pain?

It’s a fact that nearly 85% of the population will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Many of these people continue to have problems for years.

Don't let yourself become just another statistic. Chiropractic can often eliminate back pain and help restore your quality of life without the need for long-term medication or surgery. If you have back pain, you’re far from alone. Having back pain (or associated leg pain) can bring your life to a complete standstill, but this can be prevented!

Understanding Back Pain

The back is a complex structure involving many parts, including:

• Muscles, tendons, and ligaments that provide stability.
• Nerves that travel from the spinal cord to various parts of the body.
• Joints of various types and sizes.
• Intervertebral (spinal) discs with jelly-like inner cores.

A problem with any of these structures can cause pain. For this reason, it is very important that you be treated by someone that understands the complex relationships between them. This is where a chiropractor can help. Identifying the symptoms, along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain, is the first step in obtaining effective pain relief. Otherwise, long-term back problems can lead to loss of function and difficulty performing some of the most routine daily tasks, such as walking or sitting.

Is Sciatica Making You Miserable?

It’s a fact that as much as 40% of people will get sciatica, or irritation of the sciatic nerve, at some point in their lives.
Many people with sciatica have experienced episodes of pain and disability over the years. Although this condition can be the result of one single injury, a lot of the time it is caused by poor exercise habits and sitting too much. The good news is that even though this condition may have taken years to develop, you can start to feel better in just a short period of time. Sciatica can be a very painful condition, but most of the time it can be treated without using drugs or surgery. Let us help you overcome your pain and start enjoying your life again. Schedule your appointment at (517) 694-4972 to learn more.

What Is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve is actually a group of nerves that come together in the pelvis and travel down the back of each leg to the knee. Anything that puts pressure on this nerve, including tight muscles or bad posture, can cause pain. This pain can feel like a mild ache or a sharp, burning sensation. Numbness, weakness, and tingling in one or both legs are common symptoms as well.

Don't Ignore That Pain in the Neck

Recent studies have found more than 10% of Americans suffer from neck pain at any given time.

Neck injuries are very serious and should be treated right away. Symptoms of neck injury (besides neck discomfort and pain) include:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Shoulder Pain
• Upper Back Pain

Nonsurgical Neck Pain Treatment in Holt, MI

The reason is that the neck region contains many delicate, pain sensitive structures commonly exposed to abuse and abnormal stresses. Incomplete rehabilitation of past injuries, poor posture, prolonged sitting, and lack of periodic spinal alignments are some of the more common factors in the development of neck problems.

Fortunately, most individuals suffering from neck problems will find chiropractic care extremely beneficial. Unlike prescription drugs, most chiropractic procedures address the cause of the majority of neck problems, not simply the symptoms. Best of all, chiropractic care is safe, natural, and noninvasive. Schedule your appointment at (517) 694-4972 to learn more.

Understanding Neck Pain

There are many causes for neck pain. Some causes result from acute injuries which cannot be avoided, such as an automobile accident resulting in a whiplash-type injury. Other causes can be avoided and result from poor habits, such as bad posture and improper lifting. These other causes make up the majority of neck pain causes and can be effectively treated once the cause(s) is/are identified and the appropriate measures to avoid these poor habits and techniques are implemented.

Numbness & Tingling Is a Sign That Something Is Wrong

Don’t dismiss numbness and tingling in your foot thinking it’s just asleep—especially if it doesn’t go away!
Have you been experiencing numbness and tingling in your legs, arms, feet, or fingers? Numbness and tingling in these areas usually indicates a longer standing problem affecting the sensory portion of the nerves. If you suffer from this condition, it’s important to have your symptoms checked out right away.

The issue has most likely been occurring for much longer than you have been experiencing the symptoms and can be quite dangerous if left untreated. The chiropractors at Chiro-Technology, located in Holt, MI, can determine whether the issue stems from actual damage to a nerve or is referred from the nerves. Our approach will get to the root of the problem so your body can function properly again. Schedule your appointment at (517) 694-4972 to learn more.

Causes of Numbness & Tingling

Though often felt in the feet and hands, numbness and tingling can occur anywhere and be caused by a number of different things. Such symptoms can even be a result of sitting or standing in one position for an extended period of time. Other causes of numbness and tingling include

• Herniated Disc
• Animal / Insect Bite
• Some Medications
• Vitamin B12 Deficiency
• Seizure
• Stroke
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Diabetes
• Multiple Sclerosis

At best, a medication you’re taking is causing a tingling sensation in your hands or feet. At worst, numbness and tingling could be indicative of a bigger problem such as a stroke, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis.

When Should You Seek Treatment?

If you are experiencing numbness and tingling, you should see a medical professional if:

• The numbness and tingling persists.
• You experience sudden weakness or can’t move certain parts of your body.
• Your speech gets slurred or you have trouble speaking.
• You have difficulty seeing or walking.
• The numbness and tingling gets worse as you walk.

We can’t stress the importance of this enough: don’t dismiss numbness and tingling as nothing. While a tingling arm may just be "asleep", many times it can also indicate nerve damage. In some cases, such symptoms are early signs of a stroke.
