Can I visit a chiropractor to get my sinuses drained?

A chiropractor does not aim to treat sinuses, however I have adjusted many patients who have related that their sinuses drained shortly thereafter. It's worth a shot. A chiropractor READ MORE

A chiropractor can adjust the upper neck to help with this, but won't drain the sinuses directly.

How does spinal manipulation work?

Spinal manipulation is a more general technique that many osteopaths and physical therapist may employ at times. It is more rare that they use it. Spinal adjustments are only done by chiropractors, are much more specific, and are favorable to spinal manipulation. The adjustment does many things:

-It improves mobility, which helps your range of motion and circulation in the specific area

-It helps to slow the progression of arthritis and keeps the joints lubricated properly

-It helps decrease muscle stiffness and tension due to better spinal alignment

-It improves nerve function, meaning that the nerves supplying your entire body work better, and thus the body can work better/heal better/feel better!


Respectfully,

Can you suggest some medication for treating my shoulder pain?

As a doctor of chiropractic, I cannot prescribe or recommend medicine. That question is best posed to your favorite MD.

My posture is getting a little slouched. What should I do?

First, carry a notebook and note anything throughout your day that you notice may be contributing to your posture changes...then list how to remedy that. If you notice you're slouched READ MORE
First, carry a notebook and note anything throughout your day that you notice may be contributing to your posture changes...then list how to remedy that. If you notice you're slouched at your desk, you might write "sit up taller," "get computer stand," or "set a timer to tell me to stand up and walk around every 30 minutes." Also, getting your posture/spine assessed by a doctor of chiropractic is very helpful and will accelerate your results.

Great question! Good luck!

My mother suffered Bell's Palsy and is now recovering. Can a chiropractor help at this stage?

Go have a chiropractor check through your lower back and pelvis! Those nerves go into the legs and the muscles that attach in the leg attach at the pelvis also!


Respectfully,

I feel my posture has bent after delivery. What can I do?

If your primary concern is postural rehabilitation, I would seek out a CBP Chiropractor.


Google that and see what you find!

My daughter sits with her back slanted. How can her posture be corrected?

This is tough as you need to get her consciously competent about the issue. She needs to see how this can affect her health in he future...tough to get across to a 9-year-old with no cares in the world. Relate it to whatever she loves doing, e.g., if she loves to dance, tell her that better posture will make her a better dancer (it really will!). Find a way to link the bad posture to something your daughter values. Research shows that for every minute deviation in posture, every major measure of health is affected.
