Chiropractic Care for the Whole Family

Many people don’t consider chiropractic care when they think about the health and well-being of their entire family, but they really should. Chiropractic care is a time-honored means of living well without the need for drugs or invasive procedures. It’s entirely safe, and can help everyone in your family from your youngest children to the most senior retiree.
We live in a fast-paced world and that means everyone is constantly on the go. Chiropractic can be an outstanding way to live a better, stronger and healthier life, so whatever you’re looking to achieve, you can do so at peak performance. Learn how the right chiropractor can help you address any issues of neck and back pain in Woodbridge, VA, and get you living an overall happier, healthier life.
Chiropractic for the Whole Family
Even as chiropractic becomes more accepted as a legitimate medical practice, many people are still concerned about the safety of spinal adjustments. The truth is, visiting a chiropractor is just as safe as seeing your family doctor, and possible even safer, since you’ll never get stuck with needles, have your body filled with chemicals, or experience invasive procedures.
A chiropractic adjustment is so safe that it can even be used on infants, and some chiropractors even specialize in treating infants. On the other end of the spectrum, it can help senior citizens recover and improve strength and mobility, making them feel years younger.
Addressing Pain and Disease
Chiropractic is focused on healing your entire body, on building your immune system so that you can fight off disease on your own. It has been effective in reducing symptoms for everything from simple back pain to diabetes and even cancer. It can be an important part of your everyday health and wellness routine.
Your chiropractor, by adjusting the misalignments in your spine, can get the brain-body communications signals that run through your spine working more efficiently. This means your brain gets better at telling your body how to behave, which means that everything works better.
Improving Strength and Mobility
When your spine is out of alignment, it can limit your ability to move. Everything from turning your head to moving your arms to just getting up out of a chair can be more difficult. Many patients are amazed at how visiting a chiropractor makes them feel stronger, more flexible, and gives them a greater range of motion altogether.
Whether you’re suffering a sports injury or you just have a very sedentary job, a chiropractic adjustment can give you better posture, greater strength, and can even help your system work better to get you in better physical shape.

Vertebrae of the Week: Review of Your Lumbar Region Vertebrae

Over the past few weeks we’ve explored the lumbar, or lower back, vertebrae. While these don’t protect root nerve bundles like your upper and middle spine, they do bear the weight of almost your entire back above them. They also do protect the largest nerve in your body, the sciatic nerve. They are, as such, particularly vulnerable to compression injuries and various conditions related to age, wear and tear. Let’s take a look at each of the lumbar region vertebrae, from the top L1 vertebra through the lowest L5 vertebra, see what function each has, and the dangers of injury for each. L1 Vertebra The L1 vertebra is the highest bone in your lumbar region. It is what is known as a “transitional” vertebra, serving as the point where your thoracic region becomes the lumbar. Injuries to the L1 region are most often related to compression issues, with one of the most common being spondylolisthesis. L2 Vertebra Next down in your spine is the L2 vertebra. At this level, we see in...

Thoracic Region of Your Spine

The thoracic region of your spine is comprised of twelve vertebrae that run along the middle part of your back. Misalignments in these vertebrae can cause all manner of problems. Learn about your thoracic vertebrae, the effects they have, and how a qualified chiropractor can help address your back pain and get you healthy once more. Your Thoracic Vertebrae Your thoracic vertebrae are denoted by the letter “T” followed by a number. The T1 is the highest, while the T 12 is the lowest. Each has the responsibility of protecting the nerves that control a specific area of bodily function. The T1 This vertebra is also the C7 vertebra. It’s located at the base of your neck, and subluxation can cause pain in the middle back, sides and chest, as well as pain and loss of feeling in your arms like tendonitis.

Vertebrae of the Week: Sacrum

One of the lowest bones in your back, the Sacrum is a large, triangular bone that connects to the base of your spine. It forms when you reach between 18 and 30 years old when your S1-S5 sacral vertebrae fuse together. It’s located at the back of your pelvic cavity, between its wings, and forms important joints with your other bones. The sacrum is a very complex bone that helps to provide support for the spine and protection for the spinal nerves, as well as articulates with your hip bones. Among the most common injuries suffered in the sacrum region is a sprain to the sacroiliac joint that articulates at the ala, or side-base projections, of the sacrum. Sacrum Articulations The sacrum articulates (forms joints) with four different bones. The first is the lowest lumbar vertebra. The second is the tailbone, which is directly below the sacrum, and the third is the hip bone at the ilium region. In humans, the sacrum is able to move slightly on its own along the sagittal plate to b...
