Did you know that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for minimizing the long term effects of whiplash injuries? Adjustments to the spine help to relieve the pressure from your neck, head, and back.
Daily stress cause your spine’s complex parts, like intervertebral discs, ligaments, tendons and the bone itself, to begin to deteriorate. These stresses cause the spinal vertebrae to shift from their proper places and become misaligned, causing a host of problems.
Ligaments only have a small amount of nerve endings. They can often get injured during an accident, but the damage can’t be felt until it starts to throw everything off from joints to your spine and more. A chiropractor can spot and treat ligament injuries early.
"I am pregnant and generally in discomfort, but I am worried chiropractic care is not safe for my child." Groups including the American Pregnancy Association say chiropractic treatment can benefit pregnant women because of the potential for spinal misalignments and discomfort during pregnancy.
If you suspect that you’ve been injured in a car accident, the first thing you need to do is to seek medical attention. This should include getting treatment for injuries you suspect you have as well as a precautionary exam for injuries that may not be so obvious.

What’s overpronation, and how does it affect the body?
When you’ve been in a car accident that only left a few scratches on your vehicle, you may wonder whether the impact was great enough to justify a doctor visit. Since half of all whiplash cases occur when there’s no damage to the involved vehicle, it’s definitely worth seeking treatment.

Hello everyone, this is Dr. Lane. Just want to let you know I am alive and getting better. Dr. Hawkins has been taking good care of my practice while I'm recuperating from back surgery. Unfortunately, we have a genetic problem in my family with spinal stenosis which was compressing the nerves in the low back and affecting my leg strength and balance. This is a condition that would no longer respond to conservative care and had to be taken care of before my problem became permanent. I'll be coming in to walk around and see how patients are doing within the next couple of weeks, but won't be able to treat patients until mid November. Hope you understand, and I look forward to seeing you soon. In the meantime, Dr.Hawkins will take good care of you.
One of the hidden culprits behind lower back pain is a wallet. Sitting on a wallet, especially a thick wallet, can strain your back. If you have lower back pain, consider going wallet-free or downsizing to a slimmer wallet.
It’s important to remember that there’s nothing wrong with accepting medical care from your employer after getting hurt on the job. Since everything from a back injury to carpal tunnel can diminish your productivity, it’s best to get the treatment you need rather than trying to work through the pain.
I'm back!
One of the biggest reasons people visit chiropractors is to help eliminate or better manage pain. This is often true after an automobile accident. What may be considered a minor injury during an emergency room visit can still cause pain, lack of muscle strength and limited mobility after the event.
When it comes to your body’s alignment, your bones are only one piece of the equation. Activities like stretching, exercise, and massage can help keep your muscles loose, so they don’t constantly pull your spine – or other joints – out of alignment.
A chiropractic adjustment removes the interference of the body’s nervous system and allows for optimal function. It cannot be replaced by herbal therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, or exercising.
Back pain is no-one’s friend. You want to find the cause and you want to find a solution ASAP. A chiropractor can help you with both. Why not see what can be done for your own situation?
Did you know that swimming is one of the best exercises for back pain relief? If you suffer from back pain, try a gentle and low-intensity swimming program to get back on the road to a healthy and pain-free back.
Are you concerned that your body may not respond well to chiropractic adjustments after an accident? Let’s talk about how seeking treatment sooner rather than later can make it easier on your body to accept proper alignment and start feeling better.
Whether working wwwith animals or humans, therapy given with loving intent is what we also strive for at Downtown Chiropractic & Massage.

❤️🥰 The video shows a beautiful story over time where the dog learns how to walk. Not sure which condition he had or why he couldn’t walk, but I just love that he was successful at the end.
Look for the causes of your back pain to help your healing process. Old injuries, poor posture, an old mattress or even the shape of your feet can all cause problems.
One of the biggest benefits of seeking chiropractic care for auto-related injuries is that the treatments are both safe and effective. Chiropractors essentially treat the spine, back, and neck to relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles so that any injured soft tissue can heal.
