Degeneration of the spine, mostly the facet joint and spinal stenosis are the more common causes of low back pain and leg pain in the aging population. as we age we lose disc height and the lower back can become unstable. Some of the symptoms can include pain, numbness, weakness and a combination of these. If these are present we most likely could help you at Chiropractic Unlimited.

Funny

It is funny how when I post on health issues our blog gets a few hits but when I posted about the Favre conspiracy the blog gets a ton of hits. Maybe I will start to post about sports and see if the numbers go up. Thanks for reading, I’ll post some health information tomorrow.

The Favre Conspiracy

As you all know Dr. Grigg is from Minnesota and is a huge Vikings Fan, but I think that I have found something out. I believe that #4 really went to the Vikings to get back at all Vikings fans. He never really wanted them to go to the Superbowl, he just wanted everyone to think that they might. With just a couple of seconds left he throws a terrible ball and loses the game for the Vikings. He got all the Vikings fans with the greatest joke of all, losing in the NFC championship game. He really is just the greatest Packer ever. By making the Vikings Fans think that they could win only to throw a pass that he has not thrown all year. This is just a question that I had so maybe all of you could tell me if this is true or not.

Hope everyone is enjoying the winter and getting out to play in it. Make sure that you get enough Vit D. Vit D is very important to many systems and if it is to low many dysfunctions can occur. So make sure you have enough Vit D.

Joint by joint

Mike Boyle has come out with a new seminar that talks about assessing the body joint by joint. As I learn more about this assessing technique we will be using it more here at Chiropractic Unlimited. The ideal is that you need to have your ankles mobile, knees stable, hips mobility , lumbar spine stable and mobile thoracic spine. These are just a few ways to look at the joint by joint assessment of the body.

Ankle mobility

chiropracticunlimited — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:38:06 +0000

I have been reading more and more on ankle mobility. It seems that it is more important than once thought. If the ankle is not moving correctly then the body will compensate and make the knee and hips move more. The best way to work on ankle mobility is mobility exercises. Just google ankle mobility and many different exercises will come up. Start slow and see how you feel.

Functional movement screen

The functional movement screen by Cook is a great way to look at patients and how they move. In the next couple of weeks, Chiropractic Unlimited is going to start using the FMS in our exams. By using the FMS we will be better at helping the patient do some exercises that will get them better faster. So look for the new technique at Chiropractic Unlimited coming soon.

The scope has changed

As of yesterday Chiropractic in Michigan has changed forever. Our scope has been expanded, we can now do what we were trained to do. The final picture on what this means has not been determined yet but it will be different. We are looking into the differences and encourage you to keep in touch to see what new services we are going to add.

Tips for weight training success

chiropracticunlimited — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:26:18 +0000

Dr. Perry Nickelston has come up with 5 tips to increase your success with weight lifting.
1.Do only as much as you can handle, most people do too much too fast and hurt themselves. Dr. Nickelston recommends 4 days a week.
2.Never hold your breath while straining to lift a weight.
3.Keep a smooth motion during the lift,no jerking or swinging motions.
4.Change your workout every 4-6 weeks. Make the body adapt, without this your body will not change at all.
5. Train with a partner. It helps to be accountable to someone else, and you can set goals with your partner.
There are other tips but these will help start the new year off right.
