WHY CHIROPRACTIC HELP? explains how this site may be of help to you.
- Firstly, you will find at CHIROPRACTIC-HELP.COM a list of
These are conditions that chiropractors will commonly treat and give advice on. Your problem may be among them. The list is obviously not totally inclusive. Far from it. Each syndrome will be described, as will the manner in which your chiropractor may manage your condition. However, be warned! No two chiropractors are alike. At Why Chiropractic Help we describe why many conditions of the spine are so complex and individual; many different forms of chiropractic have evolved, some of which may be more effective for your problem than others. Whilst Chiropractic Help takes a strong stance towards more fibre, more vegetables, more fruit, and less protein, our mutton stew is a favourite. Of course it's full of leeks, carrots, eggplant, parsley and other healthy vegetables. Don't miss it! It will probably lower your cholesterol!

See that RSS graphic on the LEFT? (not the one above) You may not want to do this right away but if, having browsed a site, you want to be reminded of regular updates, then clicking on that orange tab will add our CHIROPRACTIC-HELP blog (updates) to your toolbar. Hint: Do this only for your favourite sites, or you will soon be suffering from information overload! Another way to do it, is to go to 'What's new' at the very top of the Navbar on the left.
- Secondly, Why Chiropractic help? will help you understand your condition. You the patient can do much to help the course your condition will take. How not to spoil that course is also important, obviously, so some simple do's and don'ts are in order. Empowering your own progress and averting relapses is what CHIROPRACTIC-HELP.COM is about. KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY.
Understanding your own condition will help you to work more efficiently with your chiropractor, benefiting you both. Discuss with her/him anything you have read on this site that is pertinent to your problem and, obviously take his/her advice before anything you read on the internet. There is absolutely no benefit getting into an argument with him or her: The net says this, my doctor says that, my old chiropractor did something different ... be adult, and hope s/he is too! - Chiropractic-help.com will include, in general chiropractic terms, suggestions concerning what you should do, what you should not do, and other things which may be beneficial. However musculo-skeletal injuries tend to be unique, so it is well nigh impossible to make totally inclusive recommendations. One person has fallen off a horse, another had three car accidents, one from the side, another person had a fall while skiing …
As stated above, with Low Back Pain it is generally better to sit less, but some people find relief from sitting. As a general rule, learn to listen to your body, use common sense, and work honestly with your chiropractor.
- I asked a young woman this week why it had taken her so long to get to a Chiropractor. I was curious, because I know that she has long known about Chiropractic. Her husband is a patient. She has had low back pain and headaches for over two years. Shamefaced, she said she had 'heard' that Chiropractic could be dangerous, could injure your spine, could give you a stroke ... and she was just plain afraid. Finally, when she could bear it no longer, and realised the danger of all the anti inflammatory drugs she was swallowing, she plucked up courage and made an appointment.
Happily her headaches responded immediately, though her low back is being a challenge. She has an anomaly, an unusually shaped facet in her back, and after six weeks her back pain is only about 50% better. Only. I hope that having browsed this site you will realise that visiting a Chiropractor is really quite a normal thing to do. Of course there are potential side-effects - there are with every form of treatment. Any idea how many people DIE EVERY YEAR from swallowing
anti inflammatory drugs ?

CHIROPRACTIC IATROGENIC ILLNESS

FROM THE COAL FACE
Having said that, I have recently been in conversation with a patient in the UK who is being treated by an inexperienced, young chiropractor. The treatment it appears has been very effective, and he immediately responds postively, but he has been told not to lie down, rather to sit (he has a slipped disc in the low back). So he has been sitting all day, and soon relapses back into what I call the SIGN OF PISA.
Should you find suggestions at Why Chiropractic Help and other pages at this site that are contrary to what your chiropractor (or doctor) may be telling you, discuss it freely with him. The days of I am the doctor and you are the patient; do exactly as I tell you, and don't argue are long over! Fortunately, as, when it comes to health, the more we doctors find out, the more we realise how little we know! Your chiropractor isn't God, nor is this website the Bible. You are an intelligent, thinking person and are free to discuss things with your doctor. However, recognise your experience is limited, and he/she has probably treated hundreds of people with your condition.
WHY CHIROPRACTIC HELP RULE NUMBER 1.
If things are not going well with your problem, and you know it's because you have not followed your chiropractor's instructions, or something unforeseen or unavoidable has happened (like a sneeze, for example), don't try to deceive him. It will serve only to confuse him, to YOUR detriment. As in all of life, be honest.

KIDS NEED CHIROPRACTIC TOO
Whilst we obviously don't expect you to bring Pooh Bear in for an examination, seriously, we at Why Chiropractic Help find that many adult conditions go back to a fall in childhood.Did you know that consumer research in the UK found that, in a sample of 1000 teenagers, 62% have already experienced back pain? If you think chiropractic is important for you as an adult, then isn't it doubly important for your children. The treatment is very gentle, you needn't be concerned on that score. And, it's not totally stupid to bring Pooh along at the same time. WHY CHIROPRACTIC HELP recommends checking him out first and, by giving him a light adjustment, we can often put anxious children at rest. Take a look at this page for the Chiropractic treatment of

Dear Dr B,What a huge and extensive website you have. It has taken several reads to discovers there is still more to unearth. The things I find most pleasing are your approach to a healtheir life-style and your little snippets dotted about - for example: I have learnty a new word: "proprioception" and the meaning. Now to put the balancing act into practice regularly and make sure it does become possible to walk heel to toe with closed eyes. It is a stimulating read. You must have spent countless hours setting up your site - thank you so much for doing and working positively towards the well-being of others. It makes such a refreshing change from the usual approach of the medical profession. You also extend beyond chiropractic care which is great. Few medical professionals today can do it and are unable as they tend to have a little knowledge in such matters, their training is far too stereotyped - it's all about curing, and little to nothing on preventing. I am attempting to educate my family on the benefits of better eating, so I'm sending your website address around the globe! We have a little grand-dagugher and I would be happy knowing she will not become another statistic when older. None of us can turn back the clock but we can move forwards and improved on bad habits or prior ignorance. Well done, it's been a very enlightening and stimulating read to date. One can approach the years beyond 60 with more confidence. Many, many thanks, RS.
