Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy

When we first found out that I was pregnant with our second child, I started thinking about all the inevitable changes my body would undergo. I knew that at some point the extra weight and strain on my pelvis and the loosening of ligaments would result in a certain amount of misalignment which may or may not manifest itself by way of physical discomfort. Recalling my first pregnancy and the late pregnancy back pain (due to misalignment) that played a role in the baby turning breech, I wanted to ensure that I not only prevented this baby from turning breech … Continue reading →

Chiropractic Care: Cautions

Chiropractic care — like many health treatments — is not for everyone. The people who are most likely to benefit from chiropractic care are: People who have been experiencing pain for three weeks or less People who have no damage in the nerves leading from the spine to the legs In general, chiropractic treatments are very useful for treating back pain and addiction.

Wait until you’re healthy before seeing a chiropractor. Are experiencing inflammation. Again, wait until … Continue reading →

Chiropractic Care: What to Expect

My brother has been going to the chiropractor for years. I had the opportunity to accompany him, and watched his adjustment. From an outsider’s perspective, it looked uncomfortable, even sometimes painful. I was pretty sure that a chiropractic treatment was not something I was interested in. Fast forward a few years — I was working at a radio station and we were doing a fundraiser for a local charity. A chiropractor stopped by with a sizable donation and offered free adjustments to the on air staff. The morning show hosts took a turn, and then the doctor turned to me. … Continue reading →

Chiropractic Care

Back pain is all too common. It is one of the most common complaints at doctor’s offices all around the country! Many people turn to a chiropractor for their back problems — but do you really know much about chiropractic care? Humans have been practicing chiropractic healing for thousands of years — at least as far back as ancient Egypt! The oldest school of chiropractic thought believed that out of place bones along the spine (known as subluxations) are to blame for most diseases. This belief was picked up by Daniel David Palmer, who founded the modern practice of chiropractic … Continue reading →

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy

There are several benefits of chiropractic care for pregnant women. Visiting your chiropractor can help with some of the discomforts of pregnancy. The physical changes of pregnancy cause stress to the spine. This contributes to back pain. As labor approaches, the baby moves down into the pelvis. This can result in pain in the pelvic bone or at the bottom of the spine. Pelvic adjustments help bring the hips back into proper alignment, which relieves the pain. Many women are sent to the chiropractor by their health care provider if the baby is in a breech presentation. Midwives are more … Continue reading →

You Can’t File a Claim on a Fictitious Cat

Posted on by

I am going to share a bit of common sense that most people can easily surmise. You cannot file an insurance claim on a cat that does not actually exist. It seems that a man in Tacoma, Washington, failed to grasp this concept. He is now facing charges of insurance fraud. It is perfectly acceptable to file a pet insurance claim when your dog or cat requires health care. Auto insurance policies will cover the cost of the medical bills of the passengers who were injured during an accident. Some car insurance policies are starting to provide coverage for the … Continue reading →

Beware of Insurance With a 1-800 Number

A woman in Florida got into a car accident. She needed to see a doctor, but she didn’t have health insurance. So, she called a company named “Ask Gary” that was advertised with a phone number that started with 1-800. It turned out to be more of a scam than a help. In 2009, Kathleen Weston was driving her Geo Metro, when she was rear-ended by another driver. The accident caused whiplash, and she says that her neck, back, and hips started to hurt immediately after the crash. It is normal for people who have experienced a car accident to … Continue reading →

While I seem to be growing larger by the day, I am still trying to enjoy this pregnancy to the fullest and not take a single day for granted. I have not quite reached that point in my pregnancy where the strain is nearly unbearable but the size of my belly and the loosening of my ligaments etc are taking a tole. At thirty two weeks I sought out the preventative help of a chiropractor. It seems that chiropractic adjustments … Continue reading →
