Treat Vertigo, Improve Balance

Did you know that chiropractors are able to help relieve certain types of dizziness and vertigo? Often, relief is almost instant following treatment. Research also shows that in the long term may also help improve balance. However, it's important to let a professional examine you first to determine if your symptoms may be caused by something more serious. It's the first step to receiving what the appropriate treatment is for your condition. Let's take a look at the different types…

Best Chiropractic Research of 2022

I've compiled a list of my favorite articles about chiropractic research in 2022. This covers topics such as opioids, mattress recommendations, best practices for treating low back pain, and more. I think you'll learn something interesting here, enjoy! 1. Chiropractic Patients Use Fewer Opioids "In this study [of 40,929 low back pain patients], we found that receipt of chiropractic care, though not physical therapy, may have disrupted the need for opioids and, in particular, long-term opioid use in newly diagnosed…

Healthspan, Not Lifespan

A quarter of Americans are completely sedentary. They do no physical activity at all. The number of physically inactive American adults rises as people get older, with that number jumping to 26% for adults aged 50 to 64, 27% for those aged 65 to 74, and 35% for people aged 75 years and older. However, this trend is driven by the myth that it's natural for your physical activity to decrease as we age. Sport is for the young, and…

How Much Activity Overcomes a Day of Sitting?

Do you sit all day at a computer and then spend hours on the sofa? You're putting your health at risk. Research links excessive sitting to higher risk of diabetes and heart disease. In addition, sitting can lead to tight hips, neck and back pain, and even spinal problems. There is also evidence that suggests that prolonged sitting can lead to cognitive decline, depression, and anxiety. This is due to the decrease in physical activity, which can lead to decreased…

Plantar Fasciitis Can Stop You in Your Tracks

You may have recently heard that Tiger Woods dropped out of his latest tournament due to a painful condition known as plantar fasciitis.

First, let's discuss what it is, then what other practitioners are doing wrong, and how our unique approach has found success for our patients.…

Strengthen bones and avoid fractures

How to Strengthen Bones and Avoid Fractures

As the average age of the population increases, researchers say hip fractures will double by 2050. A primary cause of hip fractures is poor bone health. Osteoporosis, a condition known for reduced bone mass, is responsible for half of hip fractures. I remember during a public health class in chiropractic school, our professor Dr. Anand, reported an alarming statistic. "Half of people who suffer a hip fracture will be dead in a year." I remember being shocked by this figure…

How Are Musicians Like Athletes?

I started off playing the drums in 10th grade, and shortly after picked up the bass and electric guitar. The bass was borrowed from a friend, and another sold me his old electric guitar, a Mexican Fender Stratocaster, for dirt cheap. I've played casually ever since. Since becoming a chiropractor, my interest in music has afforded me the amazing opportunity to go on the road and treat touring musicians. Those were some of the most fun experiences I've had in…

Five Most Common Sports Injuries We Treat

It's no secret that my favorite types of cases to work on are sports injuries. Sports injuries are what got me interested in becoming a chiropractor in the first place. They're a change of pace from the more traditional neck and low back pain cases I see each day, and usually involve joints outside the spine. Here in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, we have a huge variety of athletes due to our ability to train outdoors year round. Therefore,…
