Arthritis Patients Turn to Chiropractic

Symptoms of arthritis include pain and limited function of your joints. Inflammation of the joints from arthritis is catarterized by joint stiffness, swelling, redness, and warmth. Tenderness of the inflamed join can be present. Loss of range of motion and deformity can also result. Certain forms of arthritis can also be associated with pain and inflammation of tendons surrounding your joints. 

Millions of people suffer daily with pain and disability form arthritis or its complications. Moreover, many of the forms of arthritis, because they are rheumatic disease, can cause symptoms affecting various organs of the body that do not directly involve the joints. 

Therefore, symptoms in some patients with certain forms of arthritis can also include fever, gland swelling, weight loss, fatigue, feeling unwell, and even symptoms from abnormalities of organs such as the lungs, heart or kidneys.

The Annals of Internal Medicine (of all places) published the results of a survey of 232 people who has arthritis and were under rheumatologist care. Of those responding to the survey 63% were using some form of "complementary car" as named by the study.

Of those people that responded, 31% were using chiropractic.

These numbers may themselves be grossly under reported as only 45% of the patients told their doctor about using the other forms of care. A lot of patients never tell their M.D./D.O. that they are using a Doctor of Chiropractic. 

These reported numbers translate to over 19% of the public who are seeing a rheumatologist and also a chiropractor act the same time. 

Possibly the most impressive statistic was that 73% of those trying chiropractic found it helpful. The reason given why people said they tried the non-medical care was to 'control pain', because they "hears it helps", "because it is safe", "because it helped someone they know", and "because their prescription medication wasn't working".

Chiropractic care is great for PAIN CONTROL, but don't forget... it helps every cell tissue, and organ in your body. 

ONLY YOUR BODY HEALS

The idea that disease can be cured and that it should be cured and that cures exist, if only they can be found, (cancer, MS, Lou Gehrig's) came into existence in the days of ignorance and darkest superstition

The idea simply stated, is that health can be restored without removing the causes of its impairment. The idea is that some extra-vital agent or influence can, of its own power, restore health to a sick organism

All You Have to Do Is Remove the Interference

No More Ear Infections?

The constant crying and sleepless nights take as much f a toll on parents as they do on the child.Ear infections (which is called acute otitis media) are one of the top reasons for pediatrician appointments and about 50% of all children experience their first one before they even reach their first birthday!

This Does NOT Have To Happen 

The symptoms of ear infection may include pain, fever, irritability, and loss of appetite. Pulling on the ear or shaking their head is usually a sigh that your child has ear pain.

Sometimes the pressure causing the pain in the middle ear builds to a point where the eardrum bursts, and blood and pus are discharged from the ear, giving you real cause for concern. 

Relax, generally your child will feel better once this has occurred and the hole in the ear allows any remaining fluid to drain.

Many pediatricians treat ear infections with a round of antibiotics. Chronic ear infections? The doctor will usually recommend insertion of ear tunes to "keep everything working properly."

Heres something most people don't realize. Research over the past decade or so shows that a conservative approach is often the best response. In fact, recurrent ear infections often result from medication given to your child for the first ear infection, including chiders pain relievers and decongestants! 

Some believe that allergies, particularity to dairy products which increase mucous production, may cause chronic ear infections. Once removed form your child's diet, the incidence of ear infections may drop significantly. Breast feeding, particularly during the first few months of life, is associated with fewer ear infections in babies; it also gives added protection against other types of infection.

One study found that 93 percent of all childhood ear infections improved with chiropractic care. Seventy-five percent of the cases showed improvement in less than 10 days  while  43 percent improved with only an adjustment or two! all this without drugs or surgery! Do you have-pro know- a child we can help?

What are artificial dyes doing to us and our children?

That have been linked to a wide variety of learning and concentration issues. they are strongly associates with ADHD. Kids in particular are sensitive to these effects and on top of that, many kid's foods are loaded with artificial colors. Look for them on labels. They are already banned in parts of Europe ver these concerns. The worst ones are: red 3 & 40, yellow 5 & 6, and blue 2.

This week, CBS 21 News in Pennsylvania aired a segment, "An Opioid Exit Strategy: How Chiropractors May Hold the Key," which showcases the need for safe, effective, drug-free care - including chiropractic - to be utilized to manage pain prior to prescription opioids.

Quoted within the segment is Dr. Alison Benedetto, president, Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association (PCA):  “We are asking state and federal governments within their authority to mandate that patients with these common musculoskeletal pains that they should seek treatment first from a conservative care provider such as a doctor of chiropractic.”

As the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), we work nationally alongside our Group Member State Associations, Corporate Sponsors, Colleges and Individual Members to spread public awareness about the value of chiropractic care through earned media, press releases, advertisements, social media content, white papers, infographics and much more.  We must band together and change the healthcare landscape to reflect the need for non-pharmacological pain management options.  https://local21news.com/news/local/an-opioid-exit-strategy-how-chiropractors-may-hold-the-key
