Whiplash injuries should not be ignored due to the fact that they can eventually result in chronic physical damage and even psychological pain. You can’t just “sleep off” a whiplash injury, or “tough it out.” Complications grow worse when a whiplash injury is not cared for properly. Ultimately, physical pain concerts into psychological worry or anxiety due to the effects of the pain.

Consider some of the consequences that long-term whiplash injuries can cause:

The NUCCA Technique for Natural Whiplash Care

The entire quality of one’s life can be reduced substantially by one whiplash-type injury. It can affect the body’s ability to heal, a person’s posture, and even normal head movements can be painful. Rather than ignoring the pain or taking medication and hoping it goes away on its own, seeking the assistance of an upper cervical chiropractor allows you to be proactive in the healing process.

To find a Doctor in your area go to www.NUCCA.org or if you are in the Redwood City California area to schedule your NUCCA evaluation, click the button below:

At Advanced Spinal Care, we use the NUCCA method of upper cervical chiropractic. This begins with an evaluation of the position of a person’s atlas and axis (the C1 and C2 vertebrae). This evaluation includes a patient history, a physical examination, and three-dimensional x-rays of the neck and head. If the whiplash injury caused a misalignment, this will be revealed and a treatment plan customized to your needs will be developed.

Once the misalignment is corrected, real healing can begin. The spine will no longer continue to suffer the degenerative effects of an upper cervical misalignment. Plus, many other symptoms that can be caused by such a misalignment will be eliminated. You may be surprised by just how many nagging symptoms were actually the result of a slight misalignment of the upper spine.

Neck Pain, Spine, Chiropractor, Upper CervicalThe Health of Your Spine

When most people think of arthritis, they think of it effecting a person's hands or knees, but some people experience arthritis in their spine. Okay, we know that you may be unfamiliar with this, and that's probably because you've heard it called by a different name than arthritis of the spine. You may have heard it called one of the following conditions.

The Degeneration of Your Spine

Now, the thing to understand is that this type of arthritis is a degenerative disease, which means it will worsen over time. That process of degeneration will not happen quickly and can occur slowly over a 20 year period. It can not only take that long to occur, but it can take as long as 40 to 60 years to fully set in.

Of course, many people do not think to consider that a trauma such as an auto accident, sports-related injury, or perhaps even a birth injury may be the underlying cause of the degeneration of a person's spine. The result of that injury will be that the body will attempt to stabilize the joints by fusing the bones that make up the joints.

Your Joints and Calcium Build-Up

The body does this by moving calcium into the inflamed joint, so the calcium to cause those bones to fuse. That, of course, will lead to abnormal bone growth, thus causes a degenerative effect that will worsen a person's health over time.

For that reason, it is important to maintain proper joint alignment and movement, so as to prevent spinal degeneration. An upper cervical chiropractor can examine your upper neck vertebrae for any misalignments that may be the underlying cause of or lead to any further damage to your spine. They will then make any adjustments to your upper cervical spine, so as to enable your body to begin to heal itself, thus preventing the potential of arthritis affecting your spine.

Shoulder Pain, NUCCA, Upper Cervical, ChiropractorThat Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can mean different things to different people. It can mean your shoulder and arm are numb or they feel weak. It can mean you feel tingling and that you're experiencing a loss of strength in them.

Though, while there are several things that can lead to a weak shoulder, knowing what type of pain you have can help determine what is causing your shoulder pain. Listed below are some of those things that may be causing your shoulder pain.

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Pain and Nerve Damage

While that shoulder pain can be due to damage to the shoulder itself, it can also be due to problems in the neck that cause nerve irritation. Those nerves extend from the lower part of the neck and extend through the arm down to the hand, so nerve damage in the neck can have an impact on the shoulder and arm. That means problem in the shoulder, arm, and hands may originate in the neck.

Though, in order to discover whether or not that pain in your arms, hands, or shoulders originated in your neck, you will need to entrust your care to an upper cervical chiropractor. They will examine upper neck vertebrae for any misalignments the may have resulted in nerve damage.

If they determine there is a postural misalignment, they will take a three dimensional X-ray, so as to get the best perspective possible of your spine. Then, they will determine the best way possible to realign your spine so as to remove that nerve damage.

Many times, patients will find relief from pain and improved nerve function after only the first adjustment. It doesn't always happen that way, but the more in alignment the neck comes with the body, the more the patient will find find healing.

Upper cervical chiropractors are able to accomplish this without your popping, cracking or twisting of the spine associated with general chiropractic and other manipulative treatment because of the precision with which they work.

There are many individuals that feel relief from pain and improved nerve function almost as soon as they are placed back into normal alignment. For others this relief may take longer. Once proper alignment has been reached the upper cervical chiropractor can show the individual some things that they can do to help stay in alignment.

How Is Your Shoulder Problem Affecting Your Life?

When shoulder weakness or pain is involved even walking can be painful. Also when a shoulder is in pain simple things like eating and drinking can become miserable. In addition to these things when there is a shoulder problem every movement we make can cause the pain to increase and the injury to become worse.

Shoulder weakness and pain may also start to interfere with sleeping habits. Every movement while sleeping can be painful and cause trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Not being properly rested through the day will cause problems of its own. Shoulder problems are really something that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.

Shoulder Pain, Shoulder Injury, Pain ReliefSustaining Shoulder Pain

If there's one thing we take for granted, it's our shoulders. That is until they begin to hurt, and we realize we should have taken better care of them all along. There are many things that can cause that pain, but over using your shoulder or using your shoulder in ways you usually don't use them are the leading causes of shoulder injuries.

Of course, it is tempting, after sustaining a shoulder injury, to go to a medical doctor, but that's not the best thing you can do. When was the last time you went to your physician and it didn't end with them either prescribing medication to you, sending you to a specialist who then prescribed medication to you, or testing you for something and then giving you medication? Seems like the medical system is a little too reliant on the pharmaceutical system, rather than getting to the source of your pain, to stay in business.

The Cause of Your Shoulder Pain

Though, the one thing the won't do is address the underlying cause of that shoulder pain, which is usually do to posture and poor body mechanics due to a misalignment in the spine. That can be the result of the position of the head being altered, thus causing one shoulder to become lower than the other. This postural imbalance can then lead to the overused or unusual activity of one of the shoulders.

Though, the underlying cause of one's shoulder pain, which is the poor positioning of the head on the shoulder, can be reversed by simply realigning the head with the body. That means realigning the upper cervical spine, which are the top two vertebrae in the spine, so the body can be in complete alignment. This will allow the body to begin to heal itself.

Kid, Head Injury, Neck InjuryTwo Case Studies on Neck Injuries

In this blog we'll look at a couple of case studies of children who suffered traumatic brain injuries or mild spinal cord injuries published by upper cervical chiropractor Dr. Erin Elster. The first case study she reported is of an eight year old boy who hit his head when he fell on a school playground. We'll then look at a six year old boy who sustained an injury from a television falling off of a cabinet and hitting him on the head.

Playgrounds and Neck Injuries

In Elster's first study, she reported that the arms and legs of the boy who fell on the school playground tingled, and he was diagnosed with a spinal cord injury. This led to loss of bowel control, which lasted for the next six months until his mother brought him in to Dr. Elster for an examination of his upper neck vertebrae.

During a digital infrared imaging and radiographic diagnostic, it was determined that he had sustained an injury to the upper neck. The severity of the impact of the fall most likely caused the displacement of his skull from his upper neck. This most likely led to the spinal cord injury, which then led to the injury to his bowels. His initial adjustment restored his bowels to normal activity.

Televisions and Neck Injuries

In the case study of the boy who sustained the impact of the television that fell, he was lying on the floor when it fell on him. It fell on his face causing multiple fractures around his eye. Multiple reconstructive surgeries to his eye socket and sinuses followed this diagnoses.

After his surgeries and the fractures healed, his mother noticed behavioral changes in her son. He also suffered from double vision and continuous headaches. They consulted with numerous physicians and neurologists, all of whom determined the injuries were permanent and there was nothing they could do to reverse them.

Though, an examination by Dr. Elster revealed that the boy had sustained an upper neck injury, which was most likely due to the accident he suffered months earlier. It only took a few weeks of care before the double vision and headaches were completely gone.

The Upper Cervical Results

Both of these case studies reveal that whether your child is playing with friends or just sitting and watching television, there is always that chance of them sustaining and injury to their upper neck. We know you want your kid to be able to be a kid, and we want your kid to be a kid. But it's difficult to be a kid when you suffer from health related issues that can be easily resolved by correcting any misalignments in your upper neck.

Fibromyalgia, Ear Pain, Upper CervicalFibromyalgia Ear Pain Symptoms

If you suffer from fibromyalgia then you know that the list of symptoms is dozens of items long and that many sufferers experience a large number of symptoms. One common symptom of fibromyalgia is ear pain. The pain may occur in or around the ear. Often patients complain of a feeling of fullness in the ear. The ear may also ache or experience ringing. What is the cause of fibromyalgia ear pain and how can it be addressed in a natural way without prescription medication? Read on to learn more about why fibromyalgia sufferers experience ear pain and how natural approaches such as upper cervical chiropractic may prove effective.

While the connection has not been determined for certain, the one thing that is becoming clear is that ear pain experienced by patients with fibromyalgia is not caused by a problem in the ear itself. One study from just last year determined that the problem springs from the central nervous system. But just because the problem is in the nervous system and not the ear doesn’t mean that the pain isn’t real. Unfortunately, many medical practitioners will just prescribe something for the pain rather than looking for the root cause of the problem.

Misalignment of the Upper Neck and Fibromyalgia

A common underlying cause of pain is a misalignment of the upper neck. When the C1 and C2 vertebrae become misaligned the results can be any number of symptoms including ear pain and many of the other symptoms of fibromyalgia. Why is this the case? These two upper neck vertebrae lie at the base of the brain stem. Any misalignment can thus cause neurological problems that may not display as pain in the neck or spine, but as many and varied symptoms. Because of this fact, upper cervical chiropractic is a logical fibromyalgia ear pain approach. It attacks the symptoms at their source instead of just treating the pain.

Studies have connected upper cervical chiropractic to relieve of the symptoms of both fibromyalgia as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. An injury to the upper cervical spine can cause many of the symptoms related to both conditions and the symptoms may take years to surface making diagnosis of the initial injury difficult. By giving upper cervical chiropractic a try as a natural, drug-free fibromyalgia ear pain treatment, you may discover that the ear pain isn’t the only thing about your health that improves dramatically.

Shoulder Pain, NUCCA, Upper Cervical, ChiropractorThe Source of Your Shoulder Pain

Last time, we explored a few reasons you might be experiencing pain in your shoulders. There are many underlying conditions that might lead to that pain, and it is definitely something you will not want to ignore or think you can fix by just icing it for a few days.

Getting to the source of that pain will mean entrusting your care to specialist, who understands the interconnection of the body any how the various parts communicate with one another.

Now, there are several conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. Last week, we explored Avascular Necrosis, a Brachial Plexus injury, and Shoulder Bursitis. This time, we'll look at a few more conditions that cause shoulder pain and explain why the best way to reduce and eliminate that pain is to focus on healing your body's communication system.

Shoulder Pain

Other conditions that might lead to shoulder pain include Osteoarthritis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Rotator Cuff Injury, Septic Arthritis, Tendinitis, Tendon Rupture, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and Torn Cartillage. Shoulder pain can also result from an injury, such as a break or sprain, to the arm, neck, or shoulder. We'll explore those more in upcoming blogs.

Your Shoulder Pain and Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Now that you understand a little more about what might be causing that pain in your shoulders, it's important to understand the only way to find total relief is to focus on the source of your pain. Your body was injured, and that injury disabled your brain's ability to communicate with your body, and your body's ability to function properly.

The reason for that is dysfunction within the nervous system. Misalignments in the spine can lead to disruption of nerve flow and a break down in the communication between your brain and your body. You will want to restore your body's communication system by allowing an upper cervical chiropractor to examine you to determine the root cause of your shoulder problem.

Shoulder Pain, Upper Cervical, ChiropractorThe Delicacy of Your Shoulder

Are you experiencing pain in one of your shoulders? Can you think back to a fall or collision you suffered, in which your shoulder was impacted? Your shoulder is a delicate part of your body, and injuring it is not that difficult.

Though, fixing that injury can be a little more difficult, and it will take the proper care of a trained specialist. That's why it's important that rather than just hoping the pain will go away on its own, you take the time to get to the underlying cause of the problem.

Now, there are several conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. Over the next two weeks, we will explore some of those conditions and what you can do to experience permanent relief.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Pain and Your Upper Cervical Spine

These are just a few of the many conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. No matter the cause of your shoulder pain, the way to reduce and eliminate that pain is the same. Whether your pain is due to Avascular Necrosis, a Brachial Plexus injury, or Shoulder Bursitis, you will want to restore the body's ability to function properly.

Though, getting to the reason your body is not functioning properly means trusting yourself into the care of a trained specialist, who can help you restore the body's communication system. The source of your body's communication system is the nervous system. Misalignments in the neck especially the upper neck can lead to disruption in normal nerve and blood flow to the shoulders. Restoring proper alignment is crucial to the health and function of your shoulders.

Muscle Knot, whiplash, accident, posture, upper cervical, chiropracticWe have probably all experienced a muscle knot at one time or another. The pain can range from dull to sharp. We may ache all the time and feel increased pain when moving. The pain can be in a person’s back, neck, or shoulder. But what is a muscle knot and what natural remedies are available? Let’s consider why we experience muscle knots and what can be done for them without taking pain medication.

Sometimes due to use, overuse, or misuse of a muscle, the fibers constrict and cannot release. This gives us the knot like feeling that we get when we touch the area. If the muscle is large, knots can become as large as a person’s thumb. In a smaller muscle, pinhead sized knots may be nearly undetectable other than the ache that they cause

What causes these muscle knots to occur?

Sometimes they can be the result of an injury such as whiplash from an automobile accident or a sports accident. At other times, knots may occur after a workout or some other strenuous activity such as lifting heavy boxes while moving. You can also get a muscle knot from sitting or lying in the wrong position for too long. Good posture is a key to avoiding muscle knots.

What are some natural ways to relieve knots in back muscles? Massage is usually the first treatment we turn to for muscle knots. While a professional massage may be pricey, it could be tough to reach the area yourself and a loved one may lack the finger strength to work the knot out. A foam roller may help. They can be rolled over the area up to a dozen times, three times per day until the knot loosens up.

Another natural way to relieve muscle knots in the back or neck is upper cervical chiropractic. Studies have been done which show the effect that upper cervical chiropractic treatments have when pain is caused by an injury such as whiplash. Don’t think that because your knot is in your lower back that upper cervical chiropractic won’t help. When the C1 and C2 vertebrae become misaligned, the effects can be felt all over the body. This is because these vertebrae in the upper neck are right at the base of the skull where the brain stem is. Thus, seeking the help of an upper cervical chiropractic practitioner is a great, drug-free way to treat all sorts of conditions including neck and back pain.

Ear Infection, Babies, Children, Upper Cervical, ChiropracticSome small children and babies have low immune system due to which they are more vulnerable to different forms of infections. Otitis Media (OM) mostly occurs in babies who have been ill due to the flu or cold. Viruses and bacteria find a way into the middle ear leading to ear infections. Sometimes mechanical obstructions caused by the structural misalignment inside the ear such as skull, jawbones and cervical spine lead to blockage. In such cases, fluid builds up near the eustachian tube and eardrum providing a place for the microbes to grow and create an infection in the ear.

Other Reasons for Ear Infection

One of the biggest causes of OM is birth trauma. Babies born with traumatic births or interventions such as vacuum extraction and forceps or by pulling the neck are more at risk of facing cranial or spinal cord injury. Cesarean sections also can put a severe strain on the neck as the baby is pulled from the incision site. In the U.S, alone 35 percent of infants born through C-section suffer from ear infections. Drugs given to the newborn can further aggravate the condition. In 50 percent of the children over 10 months, use of pacifiers or sucking mechanism has been found to be the cause behind such infections. Some research also shows that the overuse of vaccines and medications such as the antibiotics can cause infection in the ear.

How can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustments Help?

To ensure that the ear infections do not occur in the newborn children, doctors suggest chiropractic adjustments. In the upper cervical chiropractic approach, the doctor corrects the interference in the nervous system by adjusting the misalignments of the upper neck. This procedure also has an influence on the jaw, cranial bones and spinal column without using any surgical procedure or drugs.

These corrections also decrease inflammation, muscle tension and increase mobility. Due to this proper flow of blood and drainage of lymph is made possible which is necessary for the smooth functioning of the Eustachian tube and middle ear. According to a study conducted by Dr. Joan Fallon, upper cervical chiropractic mobilizes the process of ear drainage with children and regular draining stops the buildup of fluid which is the main cause of infection. This gives the body time to build antibodies and recover much faster. One study showed that 80 percent of children did not show any further infection after undergoing upper cervical chiropractic adjustments.
