Chiropractic care durring pregnancy is so important

I cracked my pelvis in eight places thirteen years ago. My injury never bothered me until the summer of 2008. I began running after my third child was born. It was the beginning of the hip pain. The pain became so intense I had to quite running. Running had become a passion for me and quitting wasn't an option, so I continued to run in pain. I was referred to Weld Family Clinic by a co-worker. I was skeptical at first, having never been to a chiropractor. After a few adjustments I was running pain free! I even trarted tackling 5K's and later half marathons!

When I learned I was pregnant for the fourth time, I had no doubt that my chiropractic care was more important than ever. As my body grew, my adjustments and visits increased. These adjustments eased my backaches, heartburn and joint pain. In my 9th month of pregnancy Dr. Patricia began administering various pressure points and inducing techniques. My son was born ten minutes after a chiropractic visit with with Dr. Patricia. The next week I resumed my chiropractic care. My infant began receiving adjustments as well, once I relized he was a "colicky baby". I owe my running abilities and continued health to Weld Family Clinic, the family there makes the visits fun and I know I am a valued friend of the Weld Family Clinic family.

Severe disc herniation with sciatic pain

I first consulted with Dr. Erik on October 27, 2005 concerning severe pain in my lower back I had been having for 6 months. The pain had gotten so bad, it was difficult to stand up for very long. My medical doctor had prescribed a heavy dose of pain killers and muscle relaxers and had recommended surgery in my case. There was very minimal improvement with this treatment and I was always tired and often nauseated by the strong drugs. I was unable to do anything physical and was unable to move around freely. My social life was put on hold.

I am now completely off the medications and pain free. I am now able to get out and do the things I want to do again. I have more mental and physical energy and my social life is back! I have a more positive outlook on life and I no longer worry about the pain.

Sincerely,

Movement disorder

I first consulted with Dr. Erik about a movement disorder (tic) that I have been living with for the last six years. The tic developed following surgery to remove a large brain tumor, about the size of a chicken egg, in 2003. Many different stimuli can cause the tic, including noise, lots of movement and bright lights. Even tapping my hand with my fingers would cause it. The tick has not been much concern to the medical community - described as an "inconvenience" - and "I should just be happy to be alive". While that was true, having more than 100 of these tics per day was having a significant effect on my ability to enjoy life. I have been through countless tests, even spending a week st Barrow Neurological Institute in Pheonix, AZ and no one was able to determin the cause of the tic. I was even told that I was "making it up".

Treatment has included occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy and three different seizer medications (sometimes prescribed several at a time)

I had my first adjustment on November 11th, 2009 after which I had a 90% reduction in the number of tics. I am feeling so much better and now have the energy to concentrate on improving other aspects of my life, such as exercise and weight loss. I now feel like I am alive instead of just surviving. Thank you Dr. Erik!

Fertility problem solved!

I first consulted the office on 09-02-2005 with complaints of neck pain with headaches, daily mid-back pain and low back pain. The mid-back pain was a constant ache that sometimes upon waking and at other times in the evening. I had also been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in June of 2005 which was making it difficult for me to get pregnant. My OB/GYN had put me on Metformin to reduce the side effects of the cysts. The Metformin made me very ill and tired all the time so I took myself off the medication and stopped trying altogether. I found myself very sad and discouraged because I wanted a second child very badly. I had been under care for 3 months when my husband and I decided to try again and the next thing I knew I was pregnant! Since being under care, my headaches are less frequent, my mid and low back pain has improved. I feel better about myself knowing there isn’t anything wrong with me as a woman and my family is now complete!

Sincerely,

Chiropractic and Cancer

Cancer is an ugly, devastating disease and there is no pleasant way to discuss it. On the surface, chiropractic may seem like an unlikely player in the cancer-care circle. When we look a bit deeper, however, we find that chiropractic could have applications throughout all levels of care. I will break our discussion down into three separate categories: Palliative/Hospice care, Active Treatment and Prevention.

Signs of Subluxation in Children

While trying to choose a topic for my article, I realized that I have discussed the importance of chiropractic care for kids, but I have not described the signs and symptoms of subluxations. These signs vary with age and I will discuss what to look for in each age category.

Heartburn - put down the Tums and step away slowly

Heartburn. Most of us have had some experience with it. Whether it was a bit of indiscretion with the jalapeno-covered nachos or a daily battle waged with diet restrictions and medications, the symptoms can range from annoying to concerning.
