The overall weight of our activities of modern daily living (the tasks and actions we do that get us through the day, every day like washing, eating, working, dressing, etc…) often undermine our ability to maintain healthy postures, movements and tissue health. This leads to many of the overuse injuries, movement pattern disorders and postural syndromes we see on a daily basis in our office.

Correction of these issues must follow a multi-faceted approach including soft tissue treatments, ergonomic advice, corrective exercise and passive care. For more information, feel free to contact us at 204-586-8424. http://ow.ly/i/xfOtk

Evidence-based chiropractors know they must employ and continually refine “best practices” to obtain great outcomes. #Chiropractic innovators thrive upon new outcome-based studies to advance clinical knowledge and patient education.

At Aberdeen Chiropractic we are proud of our long history of applying the most current evidence available. Our goal is to use our knowledge and experience to provide safe, effective care for back pain, neck pain and headaches.

Your nervous system is basically a big electrical circuit. Your spinal cord transmits all of the electrical nerve impulses between your brain and lower back. From there, individual nerves emerge from your spine then travel to supply sensation and movement to a specific area of your buttock, legs and/or feet. This allows you to move and feel sensations like touch, heat, cold and pain. Anything that interferes with this transmission can cause problems.

You have been diagnosed with a “Lumbar Radiculopathy”. This means that one or more of the nerves emerging from your lower back has become irritated or possibly pinched. This often results in pain, numbness or tingling in the specific area of your leg that is supplied by the irritated nerve. The term “Sciatica” is often used to describe this condition, because most (but not all) “lumbar radiculopathies” involve the sciatic nerve which supplies the back & outside of your thigh and calf. Symptoms of a lumbar radiculopathy may vary from a dull ache to a constant severe sharp shooting pain. Your symptoms are likely aggravated by certain positions or movements.

To solve this problem, we will treat the source of your nerve irritation. It is important for you to follow your treatment plan closely and be sure to tell us immediately if you experience any progression of your leg pain, numbness or weakness. http://ow.ly/i/uGq4w

Studies show you can minimize the occurrence of chronic low back pain by staying active.

Too often, #athletes returning to activity suffer from the “terrible too’s”- they train too much, too hard, and too fast. If they attempt to develop their bodies too fast—injuries return. Our phasic and postural muscles need to be re-activated slowly to build capacity and performance.

The 10-percent rule is one of the most important and time-proven principles in running. It states that you should never increase your weekly mileage by more than 10 percent over the previous week. This slow progressive increase in activity will allow your body to adapt to the changing demands placed upon it. For example, if your patient is running 10 miles one week (5 runs @ 2 miles per run), they should only increase the distance to 11 miles the next week.

Part of our job at Aberdeen Chiropractic is to work with athletes and their coaches to create a safe return to sport program after injuries. This helps decrease the likelihood of re-injury and improves performance moving forward.

A “migraine” is an intense throbbing headache that may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or noise. Adult women are three times more likely than men to experience migraines. The frequency of migraine headaches usually peaks between age 30 and 40, and attacks decrease thereafter. The onset of a new migraine headache after age 50 is rare.

Migraine headaches are caused by a combination of nerve irritation and enlargement of the blood vessels in your brain. Migraines tend to run in families and sufferers have inherited a sensitive nervous system from their parents. Patients who are overweight or have other vascular risk factors are more likely to suffer from migraines.

Migraines are set off by “triggers” and the headache occurs when the number of triggers reaches a critical threshold. This can be likened to a glass of water that overflows at a certain point. Known triggers include: neck tightness, stress, smoking, strong odors (i.e. perfumes), bright or flickering lights, fluorescent lighting, too little or much sleep, head trauma, weather changes, motion sickness, cold (ice cream headaches), lack of activity or exercise, overexertion, fatigue, eyestrain, dehydration, hunger, fasting, and hormonal changes, including menstruation and ovulation. Certain medications, including hormones or oral contraceptives are known triggers.

About 20-33% of people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an “aura”, before their actual headache attack. Aura symptoms develop slowly over five to 20 minutes and can last up to an hour. The most common aura is a band of absent vision with an irregular shimmering border. Some patients report numbness or tingling in their arms or face.

Many patients benefit from the types of treatment provided in this office. Research has shown a “significant reduction” in migraine frequency and intensity through chiropractic care. http://ow.ly/i/uShht
