The colder weather will be here to stay very soon. Many people will suffer from arthritis and cricks in the neck during this time. Here are a few tips to help ease those pain. For arthritis Eat Healthy - Salmon and nuts, both rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, greens such as spinach, kale, and cabbage, and food rich in Vitamin C; all anti-oxidant properties which have been shown to reduce the pain of arthritis. Also avoid food high in omega-6 fatty acids, like corn oil; and swap refined grains for whole grains. Take Supplements - Glucosamine sulfate with MSM and chondroitin may help nourish cartilage and increase lubrication in your joints. Also make sure you're getting plenty of Vitamin D (specifically D3) but always check with your doctor or pharmacist first to avoid interacts with your prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Keep Moving - Exercise helps lubricate your joints helping to reduce pain. Don't over do your exercise, though, you don't want to risk injury. Choose low impact aerobic moves that are easy on the joints, like walking, yoga or tai chi, maybe even some light weight lifting. (http://www.realage.com/joint-pain/does-cold-weather-cause-joint-pain) Also the exercise will help keep your tendons, ligaments and muscles loose and prevent uneven and excess stress on the joints. For cricks in the neck Keep your neck warm - Check your fans and vents to ensure they are not blowing down on your neck in various places in your house. You might also consider covering up your neck with a high neck shirt or gown during these colder night. In either case, don't forgot your adjustments from your chiropractor. :-D

The Importance of Headache Diagnosis All good doctors know the importance of getting an accurate diagnosis of a patient's problem. But why is this so important? It's important because without knowing what is the disease or injury, the treatment cannot be directed to the actual problem. Unfortunately, when it comes to headaches, many patients do not receive an accurate diagnosis. If a patient were to see a doctor with a pain in the head and the doctor were to conclude that you have a pain in your head (headache), this tells little about the actual problem. In headache patients, we've become very good at labeling problems-giving them a name. If the headache comes and goes we call it episodic. If it occurs suddenly we call it acute, and if it occurs over many years we say it is chronic. But are these labels really helpful? The reality is everyday people show up in doctors offices, obtain cursory examinations and walk out with a prescription for their head pain. Not all doctors do this, of course, but with the time constraints of managed care and the insurance company oversight, a doctor's visit is just not what it used to be. When was the last time you had a house call from a doctor? Of course, the worst case is when a patient acts as their own doctor, sees an advertisement for a pill and does the diagnosing himself or herself! In chiropractic, we may also label your headache as tension-type, migraine or chronic, but a good chiropractor will not stop there. The label does not give much of an indication of what needs to be done, and more importantly we still do not know the CAUSE of the pain. Clinical experience and research over many decades has shown that many headaches are actually caused by injuries to the neck and spine. But if a doctor does not examine the neck, they may not discover these hidden injuries. Sometimes an astute doctor will take a history and it may be discovered you had a whiplash or other neck trauma, months or even years earlier. This is important information to get at the cause. We take a comprehensive approach to headache patients at our clinic. A detailed history about the location, duration, and quality of pain is followed up by a thorough physical examination, especially of your spinal column. We may also order imaging tests such as x-rays to see the positions of the individual vertebrae in your neck. The normal neck has a forward curve or arch, which keeps your head upright and directly above your shoulders. When this curve is lost, the patient's head is thrust forward in the classic "bad posture" stance. Making sure your neck is both flexible, and in good postural alignment, is critical to maintaining good health.

The Neck is Your Life Line The nervous system is the master control network for your body, directing virtually every function and action, from monitoring your life needs, to precisely responding to threats to your health. Each system, from your heart and blood vessels, to your digestive and immune systems, is directed through nerve impulses originating in your brain or spinal cord that travel through its protective bony structure: the spinal column. The neck region is the most vulnerable region of the spine to injury. Indeed, even death can be brought through significant trauma to the neck. When the trauma is not fatal, the consequences can still be severe, such as when paralysis strikes. Most people will not experience these severe injuries, however sprains of the delicate ligaments with subluxation (misalignment) do commonly occur. Despite the injury being smaller, their location (the neck) makes their impact more profound. Functions throughout the body can be impaired when the nerves in the upper neck are compromised. Within chiropractic, there are specialists who focus their entire care on the uppermost two vertebrae of the spine. Because every nerve passes through the neck, if irritation or compression is present, virtually any system of the body can be affected. The point being is that a neck disorder will not necessarily just cause neck pain or headache. Dizziness, digestive problems, fatigue, high blood pressure and generally reduced quality of life are some of the symptoms patients commonly experience. If you have suffered a severe whiplash, you may have noticed far more than a stiff neck. Indeed, recent research suggests whiplash needs to more thought of as a whole body disorder. We take these injuries in our office and address them in both a specific and comprehensive manner. Most patients who have suffered a neck trauma will require x-rays to a***yze the posture of their spine. X-rays may also need to be taken in motion to test the stability of your ligaments and to determine precise levels of impaired movements. Without this road map, it is difficult to determine how care should be directed and factors that could influence your long-term prognosis, such as degeneration.
