Summer Fun!

With summer coming, we tend to overexert ourselves and possibly pull a tendon or ligament causing sprains or strains.  With minor injuries, chiropractic adjustments are maybe enough to heal your aches, pains, and injuries.  Chiropractic works by helping to restore normal nerve supply that is allowing the body to heal itself. 

 

With more moderate to severe injuries, it would be beneficial to use acupuncture in addition to chiropractic adjustments.   Acupuncture works by restoring normal chi or flow (blood supply) thus helping the body to heal more quickly. 

We can help you feel better and walk and exercise comfortably whether you injure your leg, or get low back, neck, knee, or elbow pain, or even twist your ankle.  Give us a call to get quickly back to summer fun.  Make an appointment at 970-229-9993 with Dr. Stephen B. Asquith.  www.chiroworker.com.

Besides pain, What Medical conditions does Acupuncture treat?

     Acupuncture is a quite effective alternative to pharmaceutical therapy for all pain and many medical problems, and it has been used in China for 5000 to 6000 years.  What is acupuncture?  It applies micro-needles, pressure, mild stimulation, and sometimes heat to certain places in the skin to cause a change in the physiological functions of the body.  Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) based on the belief that many of the major organs are affected by qi/chi (vital energy) and must be balanced to be healthy, and stimulating some acupoints and meridians treat numerous pain syndromes and illnesses.       .
   
     Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and is recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems.  It is effective in treating Addictions---drugs, alcohol, smoking, Anxiety, Asthma, Bronchitis, Carpel tunnel syndrome, Chronic fatigue, Common cold, Constipation, Dental Pain, Depression, Diarrhea, Digestive trouble, Dizziness, Dysentery, Emotional problems, Eye problems, Facial palsy tics, Fatigue, Fertility issues, Gingivitis, Headache, Insomnia, Hiccough, Incontinence, Irritable bowel syndrome, Low back pain, Menopause, Reproductive problems, Menstrual irregularities, Migraine, Morning sickness, Nausea, Osteoarthritis, Pain, PMS, Pneumonia, Rhinitis, Shoulder pain, Sleep disturbances, Smoking cessation, Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), Sore throat, Stress, Tennis elbow, Tonsillitis, Tooth pain, Trigeminal neuralgia, Urinary tract infection, Vomiting, and Wrist pain.

     Acupuncture may cause responses in nerves, the pituitary gland, and parts of the brain, which in turn can cause the body to release hormones, brain chemicals and proteins that control a number of bodily functions.  It also affects blood pressure, the immune system, and body temperature.  Acupuncture can also triggers the release of endorphins (natural painkillers) and enkephalins.  Follow Dr. Stephen B.

Why is Chiropractic So Effective?

Ancient Chiropractic care goes back to the days of old, but modern day Chiropractic started in the 1890s by D.D. Palmer.  One of his first patients was William Harvey Lillard in 1895 to whom he successfully restored his hearing by neck manipulation.  Today, Chiropractic can effectively fully restore normal nerve function to your para-vertebral muscles as well as the rest of the musculature in the body and the organ systems as well.  Chiropractic can be used successfully for all pain states including either lumbar or low back pain, sciatic pain,  thoracic or mid-back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and knee, elbow, ankle and leg pain.  In addition, Chiropractic can be used to treat problems such as fatigue, MS, Fibromylagia, arthritis, digestive disorders, and others.  Some of the more serious conditions can be more effectively treated with both Chiropractic and Acupuncture treatments.

The above picture of the Autonomic Nervous System reflects the innervations to the body organ systems as well as the musculature of the body.  This chart shows proof why Chiropractic is effective when you are in highly trained and expert hands.  With injuries and stress to the neuromuscular system, subluxations (misplaced vertebra) create nerve impingement along the spine which can cause pain, tingling, or other health issues as well, and Chiropractic can typically effectively treat these.  For more information about treatment in the Fort Collins, Colorado area, sign up on the right for emails of my blogs, click follow me, and contact me at chiroworker@yahoo.com, or chiropracticworker@gmail.com, and my website at: www.chiroworker.com.
