CHIROPRACTIC ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
Chiropractic help still belongs to the CAM stable. Complementary and Alternative Medicine. However, now that there is much research proving that manipulation and exercise are the treatment of choice for many spinal conditions, some chiroprators would like to see the profession being a part of mainstream medicine.
CHIROPRACTIC ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE ...
There are pros and cons. In a worst case scenario Chiropractors would lose their independence and identity - it's hotly debated in the profession. The positives are there would be more healthy discussion between professionals, and an active referral system.
Central to the discussion is the Chiropractic Subluxation and the safety of chiropractic. Stroke Chiropractic.
CHIROPRACTIC SUBLUXATION ...
This L4 Lumbar spine casefile will give you an idea of how your chiropractor may manage your lower back and leg pain. However, please understand that chiropractic help is an art as well as a science, so no two chiropractors would manage the condition in EXACTLY the same way. One might use traction, another an activator ... Thompson drop technique is commonly used today for sacroiliac joint treatment, but certainly not exclusively.
This L4 lumbar spine casefile will give you some insights into the chiropractic management of lower back and leg pain.
LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN ...
Much of the debilitating lower back pain experienced by the elderly is perhaps inevitable. A severe fall, a life-time of unescapable hard labour, an addiction to smoking or television, a modern American junk-food diet, deficient in important nutrients, obesity...
However, so much can be done, if we make a start early enough. Just a heel lift in your shoe, a two-minute exercise programme done every morning and evening, just like you do your teeth, fatty fish rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids... surely those aren't painful changes to make, to save yourself sheer misery for the last twenty years of your life.
Treating so many elderly people now, I try when treating young women to picture how the pretty young woman will look in thirty years time... Will she too be suffering absolute misery, or can we now make some changes that will positively alter the progress of her health?
It may surprise you but, when consulting a chiropractor, you will probably find that s/he will examine your whole body. For example, it is now known that certain pre Hip Arthritis conditions, if diagnosed early, can profoundly change the course of the arthritis. A hip operation is no longer a foregone conclusion in cases of Developmental Hip Dysplasia (a greatly increased range of the hip) and Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome (a very stiff hip, even in the young person).
But there's a proviso. If it's diagnosed early, and managed correctly, with chiropractic, of course!
Likewise, two upper lumbar spine conditions, Maignes syndrome and Meralgia paresthetica also cause severe groin and upper leg pain and numbness. The good news is that, correctly managed, they too respond extremely well to chiropractic care.
Groin pain is a common complaint in the Chiropractic Clinic. Sometimes it's referred pain, as in Maignes syndrome for example, but it can be be DDH and FAIS (Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome)...
What we eat, and perhaps even more important what we DON'T eat, has a profound effect on our health.
Eat a very low fat diet, and high in carbohydrate, for example, and you put yourself at risk of getting some pretty serious neurological diseases, like ALS.
In pregnancy and whilst breast feeding, and for your young child, if you aren't getting adequate Omega-3 fatty acids, their IQ will certainly be lower. When you are older, senile dementia is far more likely. Why? Because the brain and nerves are made largely of fat. Oddles of research. The solution: fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseed oil and butternut.
