Why Chiropractic? Advice from a Chiropractor

2/21/2018

1 Comment

 

Why Do I Come to Work Everyday?

I love everything about chiropractic. Its not only a form of natural health care, its an art. It takes dedication, skill, practice, passion, physical ability, personality, compassion and so much more. There are about 65 chiropractors in the Eau Claire WI area. Each one is different in most if not all the aspects I laid out above and very few have those characteristics mastered. For me, knowing that my profession requires a dedication to always improving, keeps me yearning for more.
Every patient's body is different. With practice, acquired skill and some natural physical talent, a chiropractor should continue to refine their art of the chiropractic adjustment each day. I'm very blessed and thankful to have practiced in a variety of chiropractic clinics around the country. These experiences have refined and shaped the skills I possess today. This not only includes the chiropractic treatment process, but also the bedside manner, passion and commitment to be the best with each patient that comes into my office. This is my office and I stand behind the care I give to every person I see.

What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?

Chiropractic patients normally come to my office for a select few reasons. Its normally neck pain, low back pain, sciatica or a nasty muscle spasm that just refuses to go away. Yes, chiropractic adjustments are great for these ailments. However, potential patients usually don't realize all the other wonderful improvements they'll make along the way. 
Its incredible how many people suffer from headaches on a regular basis. Its also surprising that most people don't consider chiropractic as a potential treatment for their chronic headaches and migraines. Just a few weeks ago I was in a consultation with a new patient. She had come in due to low back pain and sciatica. She never wrote down or mentioned headaches mostly because she was in so much low back pain she had forgotten, but also because she didn't think it pertained to chiropractic. Boy was she wrong! She had been experiencing headaches every day for years. Four days after her first adjustment I asked how everything was going. She said the low back pain was beginning to subside and more notably, she hadn't had a headache since the first time she saw me. It was surprising to her and to me it was another inspiring reason to come to work each day. Its now been 3 weeks of regular chiropractic care without a headache and her low back pain/sciatica is down to 2 out of 10 on the pain scale.
​There are many other great benefits of chiropractic care that I see first hand each day. Torticollis, latching, digestive problems and bed wetting in infants and children. Range of motion, fatigue, sleep, joint pain, athletic performance and many other improvements are made consistently with patients of every age. Not only do patients get out of pain and dysfunction, but they get their lives back so they can live at their best without physical limitations they had before.

Why do Chiropractic Patients come Back?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but chiropractic can't fix you in one treatment. Pain is usually one of the last symptoms to show with disease and disfunction. Its also one of the first things to resolve. One treatment might get you out of pain momentarily, however, look deeper at why you were in pain in the first place. It could be due to a multitude of reasons. Many people sit at a desk or in a vehicle for long hours at work. Many people have had some sort of trauma whether a car accident, fight, slip on the ice or otherwise. Many people have imbalances in their musculature leading to poorer and poorer posture and spinal support. Whatever the reason, its likely been festering for some time and it'll take some time to treat and obtain lasting healing results. 
Don't stop there! Once you're feeling better and quality of life has been improved, don't quit. You're ready to graduate to the next level of care. Just like a retainer after braces, chiropractic maintenance care keeps you living at that high level. If you're still working at a desk or in a car, you're continually doing the things that put you in a poor state of health in the first place. Not everyone can quit their desk job or suddenly take all the stress out of their lives. Thats where periodic chiropractic adjustments come in. They work to combat the negative effects of all those things every person does to their bodies each and every day.

The Top Five Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care

1/25/2018

0 Comments

 
There are a number of different reasons why patients decide to seek out chiropractic care. Whether you are getting adjusted for headaches, low back pain, or anything in between, there are a number of ways that spinal adjustments can help your overall health. Taking care of your spine means taking care of your entire nervous system. When you take care of your nervous system, your entire body can benefit. This is why there are so many great benefits of chiropractic care that the average person doesn’t even know about. Here are some of the best benefits of chiropractic care that could help improve your life.

  1. Relieve Stress
When your nervous system is out of line and your entire muscular and skeletal systems are not in the proper position, chances are your entire body will feel out of line. This can cause a great deal of mental and physical stress on your body. Once you have been balanced, your body will immediately feel less tense, and this message of relaxation will also go straight to the brain. Once you are adjusted you will find yourself much more equipped to manage stress.

   2.   Improve Posture
​Over time, regular chiropractic adjustments can help align tilting and curves in your spine and help you improve your posture. This can be particularly beneficial when it comes to the curve in your neck. Many people develop neck issues younger than ever, due to their constant position sitting in front of a computer screen or hunched over a phone. With regularly chiropractic care you can improve this posture and stand taller and stronger.

  3.   Improve Your Mood
When you get adjusted, you are balancing your body’s entire system. This includes your body’s chemistry. This means that those who are suffering from certain chemical imbalances often benefit from chiropractic care. Many people dealing with depression can see an improvement in their mood with regular chiropractic care. Many individuals with ADHD have also seen great benefits with regular adjustments.

  4.  Improve Your Immune System
When you get adjusted, your chiropractor is removing  subluxations that are preventing your nervous system from working properly. Your nervous system is in charge of sending and receiving information, including sending information to and from your immune system. Keeping your nervous system working properly keeps your immune system working properly, meaning your immune system will start working better and you will start recovering from illnesses faster.

   5.   A Greater Activity Level
The more active and mobile you are, the easier time your body is going to have fighting off any germs that find their way into your body. With less pain and a better sense of well-being, which are two direct results of chiropractic care, the more active you can be. Exercise, general activity, and taking care of yourself is easier, more enjoyable, and a routine that you can keep up with all season long.
The top five benefits of chiropractic care include a happy life

Benefits of routine chiropractic care may include any of the following:
  • Improved Nerve Communication in the Body
  • Improved Joint Motion and Coordination
  • Improved Physical Function and Performance
  • Improved Posture
  • Relief from Back and Neck Pain
  • Relief from Leg, Knee, Foot and Ankle Pain
  • Relief from Arm, Wrist, Shoulders or Elbow Pain
  • Relief from Stress and Tension Disorders
  • Relief from Joint Discomfort
  • Relief from Bursitis
  • Relief from Arthritis
  • Relief from Chronic Injuries

The Best treatment for Sciatica and low back pain

what causes low back pain, how to treat low back pain, do i have sciatica, low back pain facts

1. Piriformis Stretch

piriformis stretch, low back pain stretch, cure for sciatica
Lie on your back with arms outstretched. Bring the left knee to your chest and pull it from left to right using your right arm. Hold for 2 minutes and switch to the right knee. Stretch both sides 2x.

2. Iliopsoas Stretch

iliopsoas stretch, reduce low back pain
Kneel on your left knee with right foot out in front of you keeping 90 degrees in right knee. Bring pelvis forward to lengthen left quad while allowing your right knee to shift forward. Keep upper body straight through the whole process. Hold for 2 minutes and switch sides. Stretch each side 2x.

3. Quadratus Lumborum Stretch

yoga stretch, ql stretch, quadratus lumborum stretch
Lay on your back with legs straight and arms out to sides. Bring both knees up to chest then rotate both out to your left side. Keep arms out like an airplane to stabilize upper body. Hold for 2 minutes and switch to right side. Stretch each side 2x.

4. Core Stability Exercises

kettlebell around the world, kettlebell exercise, core stability exercise
These two core exercises are very simple and effective at building strength and stability. A kettlebell or other weighted object is needed. For the first exercise, do around the worlds starting with both feet on the ground. Pass the kettlebell around your body 30 times in one direction. Switch and do 30 times the other direction. If this is too easy, standing on one leg makes it more challenging. 
core exercise, kettlebell core exercise
The second core exercise involves a little more balance. Standing on one leg, pivot your entire body so that your torso goes forward and your opposite leg goes behind you. The object is to keep your body straight until it becomes parallel with the ground. If this is too easy, hold a kettlebell while doing the exercise. Do both sides 12 times.

5. Gluteus Medius Strenghening Exercise

glut med exercise, get a bubble butt, reduce low back pain
The last exercise strengthens a muscle which is usually very weak on most people. Lying on your side, keep a slight bend in your knees. Open the knees up while keeping the feet together. Do this exercise 20 times and switch to the other side.

These exercises work great to stretch and strengthen muscles in the core and pelvis which can wreak havoc on many people. Jobs which require long hours of sitting or standing can cause muscles to tighten over time. Imbalances between muscle groups slowly cause more and more issues where tight muscles become tighter and weak muscles continue to weaken even more. Getting after these imbalances as quickly as possible can make a huge difference in reducing symptoms and greatly improving life and sleep quality. Remember to stay consistent with these exercises and know that its a marathon, not a race with any workout routine.

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

trigger point therapy, chiropractic, chiroelite
Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy at ChiroElite Chiropractic + Rehab:

A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain in that muscle or other parts of the body. A trigger point in the gluts, for example, may reduce referral pain in the low back. The pain may be sharp and intense or a dull ache.

Trigger point therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of rehab process, the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.

The results and benefits of trigger point therapy are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving chiropractic with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help naturally manage pain and stress from acute or chronic injuries.


Trigger point therapy is just one of the many techniques Dr. Thomas Pellatt, DC uses to compliment chiropractic adjustments. Others include Active Release Technique, active and passive stretching and Activator Methods. Call 715.832.9725 or use or appointment scheduler to reserve you first visit today!
