  • What is the fastest way to heal a frozen shoulder?

    A frozen shoulder can have several different causes. A careful assessment of the shoulder will be necessary to determine the areas of restriction and course of treatment. I have had enormous success with adjustment of the occiput on the affected side along with PNF therapy on the traps and rhomboids of the affected side and of course adjusting the shoulder itself.

  • Can I take a shower after seeing a chiropractor?

    Absolutely you can shower after seeing a chiropractor. If your reason for seeing a chiropractor is a recent injury, you should use ice following a hot shower to reduce inflammation in the injured area. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor adjust a knee?

    Yes knees can be adjusted in a variety of ways. The knees can affect the entire kinetic chain from the ankles to the hips and back. READ MORE

  • Should my back hurt after chiropractic adjustment?

    Patients respond differently to adjustments. Depending on your presenting problem, an adjustment may irritate the soft tissues of the back and neck. Please continue to discuss the pain with your chiropractor and continue to follow their treatment plan. The initial irritation passes within a few days and you should begin to feel better as your adjustments begin to stabilize your spine. Discuss the use of ice and or heat with your chiropractor. Additional changes in diet and exercise will also improve your condition and overall inflammatory load. READ MORE

  • How do I sleep with a herniated disc in my neck?

    Sleeping with a herniated disc can present with issues of finding a position of comfort to fall asleep and then staying asleep amidst the normal positional changes we experience while sleeping. So, the first thing is a good pillow which will give you the proper head placement and give excellent support to the neck area. With a herniated disc, sleeping on the side is terribly painful for most people. The Chiroflow pillow is an excellent choice for this. It has a water core which can be adjusted for firmness and offers great support for both back and side sleepers. Remaining asleep can be challenging with painful positional changes. Utilizing anti inflammatory products will help with decreasing swelling and the likelihood of waking pain. Ice, Biofreeze, NSAIDS, turmeric and other oral products will help with the painful inflammatory swelling. Understanding that we experience trauma differently, you may have some trial and error nights. This is frustrating, but common. Your chiropractor can help you find the right products for your unique condition. I hope I have offered you some insight to getting sleep with a herniated cervical disc. READ MORE

Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Susan M. Dixson, who serves patients in Albany, Kentucky.

A trusted chiropractor, Dr. Dixson specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions associated with the neuromusculoskeletal system, while improving each patient’s functionality and quality of life. She works at Bluegrass Chiro in Albany, Kentucky.

“Our mission is to supply effective care to patients of all ages. We are committed to serve you with integrity in a positive and enthusiastic manner. We promise to maintain an inviting and compassionate environment by sowing the seeds of hope and giving back to the community that serves us” as stated on their website. 

Along with her grandmother and mother, Dr. Dixson had already benefited from chiropractic care and knew the body heals itself without drugs or surgery if structural interferences are removed. A chiropractor will remove the interferences through an adjustment and the body is allowed to operate at its fullest potential. Properly inspired, she attended Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri and returned to her home in Kentucky to practice.

No stranger to hard work, she is dedicated to her family, practice and profession. She feels a connection with each patient as she works with them to achieve better living. Dr. Dixson utilizes a variety of adjusting techniques and therapeutic measures that decrease pain, increase function, and improve range of motion. Her patients are athletes, farmers, bankers and babies, to mention a few.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Dixson avidly supports her children in their athletic, musical, and military pursuits. She is a die-hard Kentucky Wildcat fan and she enjoys boating on Lake Cumberland, reading and baking.
