Chiropractic Care and Headaches

Posted by Dr. Wirtz on Apr 17, 2012 in Blog, Drug Free Treatment, Free Exam, Free Treatment, Health Tips | 0 comments

Headaches, we’ve all had them, and at times we’ve all struggled to get rid of them.  There are many different types of headaches, as well as many causes.  Types of common headaches include Migraines, which are debilitating and are usually brought on by some sort “trigger” like flashing lights, a certain smell, or a type of food (“triggers will vary from person to person).  Tension headaches are usually caused by a stiff neck and increased stress.  Cervicogenic headaches are specifically caused by dysfunctional structures within the neck.  There are also headaches that result from head trauma, such as from an athletic activity or a motor vehicle accident. Studies have shown that most (but not all) headaches do in fact share a relationship with the neck, most likely due to restricted function of the neck.

What can help?

- Chiropractic Care: Studies have also shown that chiropractic adjustments can be an effective form of treatment for certain types of headaches.
- Life Style Changes:  If stress is your “trigger” for tension or other types of headaches, try exercise, yoga, or other types of relaxing activities. They might help reduce your stress levels, and headaches.
- Hydration: Yes, this has become a common occurrence in our blogs, but we can not stress enough the importance of staying properly hydrated.  By drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day you can reduce the chances of becoming dehydrated and thus decrease the chances of suffering headaches.
- Diet: Sometimes, especially with migraine headaches, there can be a certain food that can trigger a headache.  Try to identify types of food that trigger your headaches and then try to avoid them as best you can.

It is very important for the chiropractor to do a thorough history and exam on a patient experiencing headaches, so that a proper diagnosis can be made. In some cases where headaches are “sudden and severe”, occur after trauma/injury, or cause nausea or vomiting, an immediate referral to the emergency room is required.  If you suffer from headaches come in for your free spinal exam and free chiropractic treatment to help you get on the road to wellness.

Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing some sleepless nights and not quality sleep.  I know it’s from stress and I seem to have trouble turning my mind off at night.  I found this great article that talks about sleep and certain foods you can eat to help with sleep.  Here is the link http://www.foodmatters.tv/_webapp_195160/Stressed_Out_-_Having_Trouble_Sleeping. Eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, and getting regular chiropractic adjustments will help too!  So, stop in and get your free spinal exam and free treatment today!

Chiropractor VS Medical Doctor

Posted by Dr. Wirtz on Jan 3, 2012 in Blog, Uncategorized | 0 comments

People think that a Chiropractor isn’t a real doctor and that perhaps they didn’t go to school.  Well I have news for all of you!  No, I didn’t become a chiropractor online or even through a mail order service!  I went to Chiropractic school and studied, studied, studied.  And then just when I thought I was done with studying, I studied more for boards to get my license.  Before Chiropractic school I did a 4 year undergraduate program along with pre-requisite classes for Chiropractic school.  The other thing I have come to find out is that most people have no idea how hard Chiropractic school was.  I did some research online and found a great chart that shows the differences and similarities of medical school and chiropractic school.  It turns out that chiropractic students graduate with almost 200 more hours than medical doctors!  Below is the chart I found that shows the number of hours in each subject one must have in order to graduate from chiropractic and medical school (becomehealthynow.com).  Chiropractors are real doctors!  We studied the same things as medical doctors and more!  So, come by and start your path to wellness by getting your free chiropractic exam today!  Get adjusted!!

Why do we offer a free treatment (or what’s the catch)?
