IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM BACKACHES, NECK PAIN, SCIATICA, OR ANY JOINT PAIN.

This is a common complaint after a collision. Collision can occur during auto related accidents, slips, falls, or sports injuries. This type of injury is often referred to as whiplash. Whiplash is an unexpected, sudden movement of the head backwards, forwards or sideways. Whiplash injuries can stretch &/or tear muscles, ligaments that supports the head & spine. The soft pulpy discs between the spinal bone can bulge, herniate or rupture. The vertebrate can loose their normal position & this can cause reduced range of motion

Headaches are so common that for some of us it has been a normal part of life. Study reported that "about 10 million Americans suffer from moderate to severe disability from various forms of headaches."  

Headaches are caused by several culprits:
- Emotional, physical, or chemical stress, allergies to certain foods, alcohol, toxic fumes. A frequent cause of headaches is the dysfunction of spinal
- Bones / joints in the neck & upper back. When the spine malfunctions & loose its motion, nerves & blood vessels to the head can be affected, & spinal nerves related tissues are stretched or irritated which can cause headaches.

Pain in extremities is caused by improper joint function. This can be caused by repetitive motions, falls overexertion, or accidents. Impaired joints function causes pain, inflammation, and reduced range of motion, calcium build up & scar tissue. This can often be helped by chiropractic treatment by restoring proper joint mobilization, improving blood circulation, & speeding healing process.

Tired of pain medication, muscle relaxers, steroid injections, & even surgery - call Dr. Khan, she is uniquely qualified to help restore proper joint function of the spine & the extremities.

You are not alone! About 4 to 6 million Americans are affected by this condition called fibromyalgia. People suffering with fibromyalgia must have pain & tenderness in 11 or more tender points upon palpation. Signs & symptoms of fm has to be present for at least 3 months with widespread chronic pain, stiffness, fatigue, insomnia (sleep disturbance), depression, headache, menstrual problems, gastro-intestinal disturbance, flu-like symptoms, anxiety, intolerance to cold weather, immune disorders, spinal disorders. These among others are characteristics of this poorly understood condition.

Dr. Khan has a good success in treating fm symptoms. She uses a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical medicine (heat & muscle stem therapy) along with gentle massage & stretching.

80 percent of 20 year olds have some sort of foot problem; sad but true by age 40 almost everyone has some kind of foot problem. Feet have 3 major functions: Support the body, movement, & protect the bones & soft tissue from strenuous tasks & stress we put on our feet day after day. A common problem seen in our office is : plantar fasciitis & heel spur.

Plantar fascitis is a common cause of heel pain, which is inflammation of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot & supports the arch. People with plantar fascitis experience pain in the mornings when they take their first steps, or after long periods of rest &/or sitting. This occurs when you are off of your feet, the plantar fascia is given a chance to rest, when you take your first step the elastic tissue lengthens & tightens this causes inflammation which in turn cause pain.

Heel spurs are deposits of calcium on the heel bone. If untreated can cause inflammation, painful, achy & tired feet.  We have had good success in the treatment of plantar fasciitis & heel spurs. Our combination of chiropractic adjustments of the feet, along wt active release / myofascial release therapy, ultra sound & muscle steam therapies & exercises can go a long way to help patient stabilize the postural foundation & help relieve related stress/pain, & build foot strength & joint stability.
