Arthritis is a condition that is caused by the wearing down of the cartilage between joints. ๐
Pain killers can cause temporary relief from pain and discomfort, but it is not a long term solution.
Chiropractic can alleviate pain by releasing pressure on the nervous system with proper alignment. It can also restore proper joint movement, helping to ensure that you use proper motion so that you do not cause injury to other parts of your body. We are not concerned strictly with the affected area, but rather the body as a whole.
We aim to restore and maintain proper movement and functionality to increase your overall well being.๐จโโ๏ธโ๏ธ
๐Resting or Sleeping๐ด
Straining your neck or back while you're sleeping is a very common occurrence. We often fall asleep in strange positions where we are not supported properly or our necks are at an odd angle. ๐
Make sure that if you are going to nap or watch tv in bed, you are in a supportive position.๐๐จโโ๏ธ

Talking On The Telephone๐
If you're forced to use the telephone for a long period of time, a speaker or a headset is a must. By all means try to avoid cradling the phone between your neck and your shoulder as this could cause you to damage the muscles or vertebrae in that area.๐๐จโโ๏ธ
FHP is a fixable issue. Chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilizations, as well as some simple exercises to strengthen the mid-back, shoulders and neck, can really help.
Looking at the habits that got you into the position and correcting those will also help. Some of these may be using a flatter pillow, holding your phone up, not falling asleep on the arm of the couch, raising your computer screen at work, and other lifestyle adjustments.๐๐คฉ

How a Chiropractor Can Help Relieve Your Nagging Hip Pain
Thereโs no need to โstick it outโ or keep popping painkillers.

The hip is one of the central weight-bearing joints in the human body, so pain here can throw your whole body off kilter. Discomfort may be caused by physical trauma, like a fall, or by an underlying medical condition. Chiropractic (meaning โto be done by handโ) is a treatment that uses manual adjustment techniques on the spine to help with both, says Robert A. Hayden, D.C., Ph.D., F.I.C.C., proprietor of Iris City Chiropractic Center in Griffin, GA, and spokesperson for the American Chiropractic Association. Nearly half of Haydenโs patients who are over 60 have hip complaints. Here, he explains how chiropractic can get the ball (and socket) rolling again.
First, what is chiropractic?
You might be surprised to learn that itโs one of the largest and most regulated health care professions. Chiropractic focuses on musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and how they affect your health. Itโs often used for headaches or pain in the neck, back, or joints. In a 2015 industry-funded study, patients who underwent chiropractic for spinal, hip, or shoulder pain reported less pain four months later than those who saw M.D.โs. A bonus: Their medical costs were also lower.
How can a chiropractor help with hip pain?
Doctors of chiropractic (D.C.โs) use a variety of techniques, including manual adjustments, exercises, electrotherapy, ultrasound, cold laser, and massage on knots in muscles. One of the most common procedures we perform is spinal manipulation, or chiropractic adjustment, which restores joint mobility when we manually apply a controlled force to joints that have become restricted. In many cases, we can adjust the hip joint using a painless drop-table technique: The D.C. lightly thrusts the bone in a way that triggers a mechanism on the table the client is resting on to drop half an inch, and gravity assists in moving the bone. This opens the joint, which creates motion and relieves pain. Deep ultrasound on surrounding muscles, infrared sauna to heat connective tissue, and exercises or stretches can also help.
OK, what is the course of treatment like?
During the first session, we usually take your medical history and do a physical exam and any necessary imaging. Chiropractic care is typically noninvasive, and though you could experience mild discomfort, you will likely feel better and function more fully afterward. Many conditions can be corrected in a single visit. Chronic conditions may require multiple sessions and regular exercises, and it can take two or three weeks to start seeing results.
How can I get the most out of chiropractic?
Be very thorough with your historyโthink of yourself as a mystery novel that needs to be unfolded in detail. Write down your meds and significant points of your medical history. Information about prior injuries, athletic activity, and any impacts of your job on the hip are especially important. Explain whether pain radiates and where it goes as well as what makes it feel better or worse. Tell your D.C. about your daily routine and how the condition affects your ability to function. These things are important, because our goal is to restore your function.

Posture. Posture. Posture. Make sure that you keep your chin up and don't slouch. If you know that you are going to be standing for a long period of time, make sure that you wear comfortable shoes.
