Millions of parents are taking their children to chiropractors every year. The main reasons they are brought are for colds, sore throats, ear infections, fever, asthma, tonsillitis, bed-wetting and pain.
Although chiropractic does not treat disease it does focus on increasing the function of the body’s nervous system to help improve proper functioning of the nervous system. When the chiropractor frees the nervous system from spinal stress, the healing power of the body is unleashed.
The immune system functions more efficiently, resistance to disease increases, and your child’s body functions more efficiently. Today parents are more hesitant to merely mask symptoms with drugs and are worried about side effects. Their desire to achieve a state of true health has led parents to seek health care options which support their children’s own natural ability to heal.

Some patients come to us and report severe headaches. An unfortunate thing to many headache sufferers is the versatility of headaches. There are a wide variety of causes for headaches. Such things as muscular tension, sinus congestion and eyestrain, as well as a number of other underlying causes can lead to reoccurring headache.
The pain associated with headaches can begin around the eyes, in the back of the head, behind the eyes, or along the sides or top of the head. One commonality of all headaches is the pain they cause, yet the degree of pain can vary as well – from a dull pain to a more intensified throbbing or nauseating pain.
In understanding headaches, it is important to keep in mind some common misconceptions about them. One such misconception is that some types of headaches are more painful or troubling than others. For example, many people erroneously refer to any severe headaches as being a migraine. In fact, almost any type of headache can bring about a similarly severe pain. Given the versatility of headaches, it is often troubling for a headache sufferer to correctly identify the type of headache they have.
Headaches can either be brought on independently, in which case they are considered “primary” headaches, or as a side effect of another condition, which are referred to as “secondary”. The most commonly treated headaches in chiropractic offices are primary headaches such as: tension headaches, migraine headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. Tension headaches are usually caused from stress factors, migraine headaches are vascular headaches, and cervicogenic headaches are caused by pain originating in the neck region.

If you have back pain that has continued for at least 3 to months, than you have what is considered “chronic back pain”. Usually, this type of pain can come from repetitive strain or injuries that occur at work, or from a trauma or accident that affects the vertebrae. “The spine can be viewed as one unit (which is flexible). If an individual vertebrae act differently than the rest, damage can occur. “ says Dr. Tuchinsky from Weston, Fl.
The most common causes of back pain are the conditions of your workplace. This is because of the repetitive nature of certain jobs, which could make you push yourself beyond normal limitations. This could put you at great risk for back injuries. Usually, there is a lack of training and supervision in regards to these issues, and competitiveness can sometimes take over.
