Chiropractic Adjustments help manage Autism

Chiropractic adjustments may help manage autism, according to an analysis conducted by investigators at the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association in Media, PA and Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA.

The researchers scanned eight medical databases for studies on chiropractic care for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). They identified five studies that met their strict inclusion criteria. After sifting through the research, they determined that chiropractic care may alleviate ASD.

“We encourage further research for definitive studies on Chiropractic’s effectiveness for ASD. However, given the ineffectiveness of pharmaceutical agents, a trial of Chiropractic care for sufferers of autism is prudent and warranted,” conclude the study’s authors.

“At the heart of the core symptoms of ASD (ie., impared social interactions, deficits in communication and repetitive or restricted behavioral patters) is abmormal sensory processing,” explain the researchers. “Preliminary studies indicate that the chiropractic adjustment may attenuate sensorimotor integration based on somatosensory evoked potential studies.”

Chiropractic Significantly Improves Scoliosis

Chiropractic care, including adjustments and exercises, may significantly improve scoliosis, according to a new report.

The study included 28 patients with scoliosis. According to the report, “The average beginning primary Cobb angle was 44″. Patients received the same chiropractic rehabilitation program for approximately 6 months. At the end of active treatment, improvements were recorded in Cobb angle, pain scores, spirometry, and disability rating. All radiographic findings were maintained a 24-month follow-up”

Findings showed that patients “reported improvements in pain, Cobb angle, and disability immediately following the conclusion of treatment and 24 months later.”

Why suffer from Sciatica?

Hi, I’m Dr. Brent Lipke .

Your sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in your body.  It begins in your lower back as five smaller nerves and extends down the back of your leg to your toes.  And, if you have burning pain, numbness or tingling down your leg, often aggravated by sitting or changes in position, you may have damaged the sciatic nerve causing a condition known as sciatica. 

Historically, drugs, surgery or physical therapy have been used to treat the pain of sciatica but often bring little or no relief.   

Research has shown Chiropractic to give long term results, because it corrects the cause of the sciatica by re-aligning the vertebrae and thereby removing the bony pressure on the sciatic nerve.

How to reduce allergy frustrations

 by Dr. Brent Lipke DC

With the decrease in air quality that comes with warmer weather many of us begin to experience the agony of dealing with allergies.

The sneezing and watery eyes occur when the immune system OVERreacts to an allergin, things like dust or  pollen, and produces too many neutralizing chemicals, called histamines, to counteract it.  Drugs called anti-histamines are often given, but long-term use may cause blood pressure or heart problems.

Chiropractic focuses on balancing the nerve system which CONTROLS the immune system, allowing it to function normally which handles the CAUSE of the allergic reaction.

How Chiropractic Care can help with ADHD

Discover the High Performing Athletes Secret Weapon

 By Dr. Brent Lipke DC

Did you know that over 80% of Olympic athletes competing at the  Olympics receive chiropractic care before they compete.

Many amateur and professional athletes wouldn’t dream of competing without first getting a chiropractic checkup including; Joe Montana, Evander Holyfield, Jose Canseco, Dan O’Brien, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Tiger Woods.

These athletes have discovered the Chiropractic secret.  Research has shown that athletes under chiropractic care react 30% faster, are more coordinated, execute fine movements better and have improved accuracy and precision.

All this occurs because the nerve system in these athletes is kept free of stress and any injuries are corrected early before they can develop into a major problem in the future.

Chiropractic Care helping with Ear Infections

Suffer from TMJ? Chiropractic Care can help

By  Dr. Brent Lipke DC

 If you place your fingers in front of each ear and open your mouth you can feel movement in your jaw joint.  This is where your skull’s temporal bone attaches to your mandible or jaw bone, called the temporomandibular joint or TMJ.

When this joint is misaligned it is called TMJ syndrome.  Symptoms include an inability to fully open the mouth, clicking or popping when eating or talking and sometimes the jaw may even temporarily lock up. 

Causes include gum chewing, trauma to the head/jaw or neck, and dental work where the mouth is open for a prolonged period.

Chiropractic focuses on correcting the cause of the TMJ dysfunction by gently re-aligning the jaw itself using low-force techniques.

To learn more about how a safe, gentle and scientific, Chiropractic adjustment could TRANSFORM your health contact your chiropractor.  If you are interested in a complimentary consultation, CALL The Family Chiropractic Centre, 519-837-1234 or check out our website @ http://www.guelphchiropractors.com
