Chiropractors are back doctors. Right?
Well, while it is true that we place our hands on backs every day, calling us back doctors really misses the mark. As a matter of fact, calling chiropractors “back doctors” makes about as much sense as calling medical doctors “stomach doctors.”

If the mere mention of “Growing Pains” reminds you of the popular 80’s Alan Thicke and Kirk Cameron sitcom, then you probably weren’t one of the select 10-20% that were tagged with this misleading medical diagnosis when you were a child. Misleading in that, from a physical sense, it doesn’t hurt to grow. But then, why do children experience this reoccurring “vague leg pain”? — with pain so intense at times that it actually causes some to cry themselves to sleep.

Every chiropractor who has been in practice for some time has had a population of patients that did not respond as he would have expected. Oh sure, many of them got relief from the chiropractic care provided, but it only lasted for a few hours — a day, tops. And mind you, we’re not talking about the first few visits, but, rather, a well-established pattern. Or the patient did well with the adjustments, only to have the back misalign again from a trivial event. It’s been my experience that not every patient 
falls into the typical “restore-motion-to-stuck-spinal-joint-and-watch-patient-get-better” category. Sometimes we chiropractors need to acknowledge that not every case of mechanical back pain is due to spinal joints being” stuck” or “locked” — instead, sometimes it’s just the opposite: the joints are too loose.

One thing I’ve come to learn about Northwest weather is that it definitely is not predictable. And turning to the T.V. weathermen for guidance is, well, not predictable. But for some, tracking the weather patterns can be quite predictable. As a matter of fact it comes naturally, whether they like it or not. No Hi-Tech weather equipment. No degree in meteorology. Just one or more arthritic joints is all that is needed for the perfect weather station.

Hiccups. Who hasn’t had them? And who hasn’t heard of at least a dozen ways to cure them? Perhaps you are accustomed to the popular home remedies of sudden fright, holding the breath, breathing into a paper bag, inducing sneezing with pepper, or drinking water with baking soda from the wrong side of the cup while the ears are covered tightly. Or if you are well versed in the various medical treatments available, you’ll know that amongst the accepted procedures there are an assortment of medications, the inhalation of ether through the nose, the popular digital rectal massage, tongue traction, uvula stroking, and surgical excision of the phrenic nerve (which isn’t always a wise idea as this procedure literally paralyzes the diaphragm). Well, I’ve got a new one to add to your list, and it’s one that a New York woman will be forever grateful for: chiropractic.

Torticollis. While it might sound like a strange Italian dish, it’s not. Imagine waking up one morning with your ear pressed to your shoulder as if cradling a telephone receiver. The only problem is, there is no telephone to be found — only an unrelenting, painful neck spasm with absolutely no ability to bring your head back to any semblance of socially accepted posture. Most would agree, it’s a pretty disturbing situation to find yourself in. Thankfully, in most cases, the “fix” for torticollis can be as simple as a visit to your local chiropractor. (more…)

Ten percent dead? What? Now before you stop reading, hear me out. It’s interesting if you stop to think about it: dead or alive. Pretty much an all or none proposition. Right? Well, maybe not. What about instead of being completely alive, you were partially dead? What would that feel like? What might some of your symptoms be? While we all can understand the concept of being alive, and all have a firm grasp on the concept of being dead, the notion of being somewhere in between might be a new one for us.

Ever wonder what’s in my medicine cabinet? One LARGE bottle.
It’s something I know that the pharmaceutical companies would love to capture and call their own. Let me share the label with you…. (more…)
