Pain Management and Healing for Car Accident Injuries

Posted on 2012-05-17 15:15:41

pain management for car accident injuries.jpgIf you've been involved in an auto accident, you may not even be aware that you've been injured until a day or two after the crash. Car accident injuries often take time to appear, showing up as intense pain in the joints and muscles that won't go away. If you are suffering from whiplash or other injuries due to being in a car accident, our Tulsa chiropractor can help. We're experienced in diagnosing and treating many different injuries caused by the traumatic impact on the body that a car accident can cause. From natural pain management to treating the underlying cause of the pain, chiropractic care can return you to a healthy and pain-free lifestyle.

Common Injuries Following a Collision

One of the most common and well-known car accident injuries is whiplash. When a car stops suddenly, your head and neck can whip back and forth past their normal range of motion. This can damage the neck and surrounding tissue, causing pain and stiffness in the back, neck, jaw, shoulders and other parts of the body. It often includes spinal vertebrae becoming misaligned. Gentle spinal adjustments can help with whiplash, putting the discs back into alignment while offering natural pain management and relief.

Most people don't think of seatbelt injuries when they consider a car crash, but it's a common problem. While you should always wear your seatbelt while driving, you can suffer from misaligned vertebrae from the twisting a seatbelt does to your body. This can, in turn, cause pinched nerves to your back and legs. Spinal adjustments and spinal decompression can help relieve these problems.

A herniated disc can be the result of a car accident. If a disc in your vertebrae gets misaligned, it can catch and pinch the sciatic nerve in your back, causing a painful condition known as sciatica. This can cause pain from your back all the way down your hip to your leg. 

Our Tulsa chiropractor can relieve this problem with spinal decompression treatments. This allows the discs to naturally slip back into place and gives the surrounding tissue the ability to heal.

Have you had injuries pop up days, weeks after a car accident?

Athletes Benefit from Physical Therapy Treatments for Sports Injury

Posted on 2012-03-14 07:31:20

physical therapy in Tulsa for sports injuries.jpgAthletes experience many types of sports injury. The common saying “no pain, no gain” holds true with avid athletes, but often time the “pain” prevents them from playing their best. Sports injuries may take some time to heal. Chiropractic care and physical therapy are proven treatments for sports injury patients. Our Tulsa chiropractor can implement these treatments and help you with pain management and to help you heal quickly.

Physical Therapy Assists with Pain Management and Strengthening Injured Muscles

Pain management is one of the most important aspects of sports injury rehab. Chiropractic care and physical therapy techniques help sports injury sufferers with pain management by strengthening and adjusting muscles without the use of medication. There are many types of sports injuries including three of the most common types of sports injury which are strain and sprains, knee injuries and swollen muscles.

Strains and sprains occur when your muscles, ligaments, tendons and tissues are stretched past their normal range of motion. A series of chiropractic spinal adjustments can help strengthen supporting muscles around the spine allowing the spine to maintain its correct position which in turn eliminates pain. Lumbar exercises can be combined with spinal adjustments to assist with stability and strength in the lower back muscles.

Knee injuries are very common among athletes. Your knees absorb stress during sports activities especially for football and basketball players and other sports that involve running or extensive use of your legs. Many physical therapists recommend the RICE method for shoulder, leg, knee and ankle injuries.

Swollen muscles are almost a given if you are involved in sports. Physical therapists use the RICE method for swollen muscle treatment because the first step is to help reduce swelling in your muscles. Ice, compressions and elevation helps with swelling; then resting your muscles and limiting strenuous activities will give your muscles time to recuperate as well. 

Our Tulsa chiropractor will design a sports injury rehabilitation program that will meet your individual needs. He will combine helpful treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and massage therapy to assist you with pain management and effective healing methods for your injuries. Visit our Tulsa chiropractor today for a full consultation and let us help you get the pain relief you deserve.

Fast Food vs. Restaurant Food

Posted on 2012-02-28 13:03:51

If you're a health conscious individual, you likely cringe at even the mention of fast food.

McDonald's. Burger King. Wendy's.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My ears are bleeding (because I read everything out loud and my ears bleed when I hear the name of any fast food restaurant Hardee's ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!).

We all know that fast food is the devil. I mean, fast food is the worst thing on the planet, it's why Obama can't do a darn thing about the state of the economy, it's the sole cause of war and poverty and pretty much all of the world's problems, and even worse it's loaded with an exorbitant amount of calories that instantly attach to your butt and love handles the minute you consume them.

So, if you're going to go "out to eat", whatever you do, don't eat fast food. Instead, try a nice sit-down restaurant in which an independant study recently determined that when compared to the golden arches and king of burgers, those who choose sit-down restaurants wind up eating TWICE as many calories than those that choose fast food.

Oh. My. God.

Eye-opener: What appears to be healthy at a restaurant, very likely aint healthy.

The reality is that sit down restaurant meals, due to their exceptionally large portions and often irresponsible preparation methods (with respect to calorie content) give very little regard to health and weight managment. Restaurants want you to LOVE the food, be satisfied, and come back. For the most part, with few exceptions, that's their number one goal...and it comes at the expense of your health and that oh so lovely figure you're trying to obtain and maintain.

Does that mean you should never eat out? No, I eat out all the time. But you have to be aware of what goes down, and YOU have to be the one in control of the meal. Here are some tips:

1. When you order, ask the server to have half of your entree bagged up to go and half brought out to you. Instant 50% reduction in calories!

Chances are, you'll be just as satisfied with 1/2 the normal portion, but when the whole thing is on your plate in front of you, you'll always eat more just because it's there.

2. Give VERY specific instructions on how you want your food prepared. For example, order your meat grilled with absolutely no sauces, butter, etc. Skip the "pre-made" salad dressings and request olive oil and vinegar instead. Ask how things are prepared -- it's your server's job to answer your questions and you're paying them to be an expert and deliver to you exactly what you want. If you don't want a boatload of hidden calories, make sure you don't get them by speaking up and clarifying what you want.

Implement those 2 tips and you'll avoid 75% of the calories in a typical restaurant entree.  Join HealthSource of Tulsa for weekly webinar on Freedom from Fat.

Hollywood Cellulite Secrets!

Posted on 2012-02-14 07:08:38

Fat is one thing…but CELLULITE is a completely different story!

You too may have been finding that despite your best efforts to take off the weight, you’re still left with saggy, dimpled skin.

I get asked all the time about cellulite and until now...I had no idea what to do!

Well you may also have wondered if there was anything out there that fights cellulite that you just don’t know about yet…

I recently learned about this odd “Hollywood secret” technique for getting rid of that disgusting extra jiggle that’s also backed by science…

…coffee grounds!

What?!

Yeah, I’ll explain how and why this works so well in second…

…but first, just a reminder, there are over 100 unusual fat loss tricks just like this that you are probably missing out on, all compiled into one unique guide called ‘Do This Burn Fat’… if you’re interested in learning more about that, click here now.

OK back to fighting that cellulite…

Actresses like Halle Berry use the technique I’m going to tell you about religiously to keep their thighs tight and toned for filming those sexy movie scenes without embarrassment.

Here’s what to do…

1. Take about a half cup or so of yesterday’s USED coffee grinds (NOT decaffeinated!) and mix them together with just a little bit of olive oil and put the mixture in an old nylon stocking.

(If you don’t drink coffee, ask your neighbors or friends to give you theres and just tell them you’re using it for “compost fertilizer”! Sneaky, eh? ;-)

2. About 10 minutes before getting into the shower, vigorously rub the coffee grind mixture over your “trouble areas” like your hips, butt, belly, or thighs.

3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and then rinse it off in the shower.

4. Do this a couple of times a week and start watching your skin get tighter and more toned as you continue your fatburning efforts.

Here’s why it works (the SCIENCE!)…

First, let me tell you that dermatology researchers are already using caffeine in the most advanced cellulite creams so this is backed by hard science.

By vigorously rubbing your skin with the mixture, you increase circulation to your skin while at the same time, taking advantage of the coffee’s caffeine content to start melting the fat from the outside in.

Plus, the gritty texture of the coffee grinds works like a mild sugar scrub, exfoliating the skin and promoting better circulation and rejuvenation while the oil actually “plumps up” the skin cells for smoother looking skin.

Some women have even reported seeing instant results with tighter, toned skin!

So give it a try, it may just be the extra weapon you need in the fight against cellulite.

Want over 100 even SNEAKIER fat burning tricks like this one?

P.S. Got any unusually effective tips to fight cellulite?  Post ‘em below in the comments and share ‘em with the Fast Fit Tips community…

Tulsa Chiropractor Uses hCG Diet to Help Patients with Lasting Weight Loss

Posted on 2012-02-08 13:53:47

Excessive weight can aggravate a number of health conditions. Successfully losing the extra pounds and maintaining a healthy weight benefits the dieter in innumerable ways. You feel better, have more energy and can be proud in your accomplishment. Most importantly, achieving a desirable weight greatly reduces your risk of developing the many health problems associated with being overweight.

Get Weight Loss Support from Our Tulsa Chiropractor

After watching patients in Tulsa struggle unsuccessfully with their weight, Dr. Lawrence was determined to find a scientifically sound method for achieving lasting loss of weight, leading to the adoption of the hCG diet method for use with our patients. With obesity rates reaching epidemic proportions, it is more important than ever to find a way to battle this health problem successfully. As a chiropractor, Dr. Lawrence finds this program fits perfectly with our goal of supporting every patient in optimizing his or her overall health and wellness.

What Is the hCG Weight Loss Method?

The protocol of using hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to accelerate the loss of fat tissues while dieting was first developed by an endocrinologist in the 1950s. He realized that this hormone, normally produced during pregnancy, when combined with an ultra-low calorie diet directed the body to specifically target adipose fat, better known as stubborn belly fat. This is linked to the development of numerous health problems including cardiovascular disease.

One of the interesting aspects of the low-calorie hCG weight loss diet is that the presence of hCG hormone instructs the body to burn its excess adipose fat rather than lean tissues like muscle while on a calorie-restrictive diet. While the dieter consumes a low number of calories each day, the body is actually using more calories from the fat tissues it is burning. This explains why there are no cravings or feelings of excessive appetite while using this dieting method.

If you worry about whether your extra weight might be negatively affecting your health, visit our Tulsa chiropractor to find out more about how the hCG diet promotes lasting loss of weight. Your health and wellness might depend on it!
