Don't let your 2010 health benefits expire without being used

Are Your Insurance Benefits About To Expire This Year?

Now that the end of 2010 is approaching quickly, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that you may have left over insurance benefits for Chiropractic and massage care.

If you used your insurance this year and you have satisfied your deductible - now's the time to get great care and have it covered by your insurance. Usually most plans will renew in January, and your deductible will start all over again.

If you are having issues with neck pain, low back ache or even shoulder and wrist issues, give us a call and we'll check your insurance to see if you can take advantage of your coverage for the remainder of the year.

Early Intervention with Chiropractic in Cases of Severe Low Back Pain

Over the course of our life, we will all, at some point experience low back pain. The American Chiropractic Association has reported that 31 million experience low back pain at any given time.

The following study reveals that waiting for the pain to go away or not seeking care from the appropriate provider may increase the risk of the condition becoming chronic in nature or in some cases disabling.

Chiropractic doctors are trained to determine the cause of the injury to your low back, and have the experience to formulate an accurate and effective diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan.

Low Back Pain, Arthritis and Chiropractic

Our friends at the US Chiropractic Directory have come out with a great research article noting how low back pain and arthritis have a direct link.

http://uschirodirectory.com/index.php/low-back-problems/item/259-low-back-pain-arthritis-a-chiropractic-a-clinical-correlation

In 2010, it was reported that 31 million Americans experience low back pain. More than 20 million Americans experience arthritis or degenerative joint disease, which has been shown to have a direct correlation called the subluxation degeneration.

For example, when a vertebral subluxation takes place (is stuck or out of position) there is a negative neurological effect. The body automatically tries to stabilize the spine and mobilizes calcium to use as cement or glue to prevent further malpositions.

Muscle Spasm and the Chiropractic Adjustment

Most of our patients at Back To Action encounter some form of muscle tightness or spasm when dealing with pain. Outcome studies in healthcare are critical. People want answers on the success rate of cancer treatment and open heart surgeries and so do people and patients of chiropractic care.

New research provided by the US Chiropractic Directory gives insight into the effectiveness of the chiropractic adjustment to reduce the spasm of muscles surrounding the spine.

Movement, Balance and the Effect of Chiropractic Care

This research and correlation is a breakthrough in understanding and explaining to the general population how chiropractic works and the VERY FAR REACHING implications of the chiropractic adjustment regarding motor and sensory integration. This article gives you the answer to the “why” and gives you the information to open the door to helping many who previously didn’t know that chiropractic had the answers.

This article can specifically target the benefit of chiropractic patients who are elderly, suffer from cerebral palsy or even the athlete.

Did You Know?...

Dr. Dan Murphy, a renowned international lecturer, is an expert on pain, proprioceptive neurology, injury repair and nutrition combined.

Several clinical studies he points out are influential in the actual impacts of nutritional choices and it effects chiropractic clinical management of trauma, pain, degeneration and mobility.

Here are a few of the studies he highlights:

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for rheumatoid and/or osteoarthritis conservatively causes 16,500 Americans to bleed to death each year, making that the 15th most common cause of death in the US. (New England Journal of Medicine, 1999)

2. Glutamate and aspartame can cause chronic pain sensitization, and removing from the diet for 4 consecutive months can eliminate all chronic pain symptoms. (Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2002)

3. Supplementing with vitamin D3 has the potential to reduce cancer deaths in America by 75% (Ann of Epidemiology, 2009)

4. Potentially, the largest exposure of Americans to the neurotoxin mercury is through the consumption of products containing High Fructose Corn Syrup. (Environmental Health, 2009)
