Hilliard Chiropractic: Stop Pain - Get Healthy

Shoulder Pain and Chiropractic Care

2011-01-29T11:32:00.005-05:00

As I practice and continue to learn better ways to help my patients, I am impressed how often people have a painful shoulder or restricted shoulder. Again and again I see patients who have lost their shoulder range of motion (frozen shoulder) or have strong pain or weakness when using thier shoulder.

Patients who have had surgery to repair the rotator cuff tendons and muscles and still have pain or restriction. Those who have had shoulder replacement and still want to have more comfortable motion in their shoulder. People who have been injured or who don't even have a cause they can name, find their shoulder pain and restriction continues to be a big issue for them.

The shoulder is highly muscle stabilized and influenced joint...probably more than any other body part. Using the special pain stopping techniques and motion freeing methods I have learned in the last few years, I have been able to restore these shoulders in many (not all) cases with reliable and gentle methods that patients like.

With chronic or acute shoulder muscle, joint or tendon pain and impairment, the techniques I have learned are amazing to me on a daily basis. I always medically refer a patient if I suspect or see a pathology like a tumor, infection, fracture, severe tear, etc...that won't be helped by my function-enhancing methods. But many come to me with ongoing problems even after all the other care they have tried.

Call 614-529-8171 and let us have an opportunity to evaluate your shoulder.

Muscle Pain, Weakness, Liver Problems from Cholesterol Lowering Dugs

2010-12-09T09:43:00.002-05:00

I have had several patients in the past year or so who suffered side effects due to the use of Cholesterol lowering drugs. Though the percentage of those who have these unintended reactions are small, when they get them they suffer 100%.

For more info Google this topic or go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8695102.stm to get started.

On a brighter note, I have helped these people recover faster with the Meridian Therapy(acupuncture points) testing and treatment(no needles). If you are someone you know has this reaction, call for an acupuncture point exam.

Dr DiVelbiss is not currently certified to use needles. He has practiced non-needle care for more than a decade including people with these side effects. However, each individual is different and not everyone can be helped by any methods. Examining you is the place to start! CALL 614-529-8171

Myofascial Trigger Points- Causing Your Pain or Symtoms

2010-05-31T10:25:00.004-05:00

The muscles and soft tissues of the body can develop trigger points that cause pain, numbness, weakness, burning, posture changes, tightness, and a variety of visceral(internal organ mimicking) symptoms like dizziness, sinus pain, bowel problems, frequent urination or leaking...etc.

Dr. DiVelbiss works on these tender points and trigger points and has found that they exist in muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, skin and even organs like the large bowel.

By gently deactivating these points, the area function and health returns to normal in many cases.

If you want to get an idea of what trigger points can do, go to
triggerpoints.net. Then, call us and let's get you pain free and active again!

Forward Head Posture: Guaranteed to Cause PAIN!

2010-05-04T13:24:00.006-05:00

As I've worked with many patients over the years, one thing is a very common problen that they have, FHP...forward head posture.

Part of my exam is to evaluate posture. FHP is so common!

It can lead to:

1. Arm pain or numbness like carpal tunnel and weakness.
2. Shoulder pain
3. Neck Pain
4. Increasing degenerative joint and disc disease and arthritis
5. Lower back and leg pains

Scars that are still Active!

2010-04-30T13:35:00.002-05:00

If you have a surface or deeper scar as a left-over from surgery, injuires or strains(torn tissues), you may continue to suffer what is called an "active" or toxic scar.

These irritated scars are painful, tight and did not heal right. They can be released and often relieve pain, nerve, muscle, blood flow issues that persist.

I often find patients with these active scars will have on-going muscle, nerve and joint problems that have not repsonded to other methods.

Go to: National Institute of Health...Click Here. This is a summary of a case study related to active scars.

Dr D practices a specialized form of Asian Medicine that treats and relieves these toxic scars...often in a few visits.

Osteoarthritis of the knee helped by Electroacupuncture

2006-09-03T17:15:00.000-05:00

The osteoarthritis research study is available at:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/2/3

The researchers found that electrical stimulation of
needles placed for local knee osteoarthritis was more
effective than a drug. Other studies indicate that
electrical stimualtion of acupoints can be successfully
used to relieve pain or treat organ dysfunction or relieve
emotional stress patterns like anxiety.

While acupuncture with needles is effective, I use meridian
treatment with electrical stimulation or laser stimulation,
instead of needles. Even more importantly, I use a system
to analyze all the 12 body meridians so I can balance the
whole system and relieve the "local" pain or problem like
osteoarthritis.

This analysis system electronically tests and computer
analyzes the points for best overall treatment and results.
It is called EMI, Electro-Meridian Imaging.

Microwave Water Unhealthy?!

2006-06-15T11:10:00.000-05:00

School science experiment on microwaves

Still using a microwave? Think twice. This is web page fascinating about a "science fair project"! http://www.rense.com/general70/microwaved.htm

If a kid could do it - why isn't the FDA requiring this kind of research?

Microwave changes the stuff it nukes! You are eating and drinking altered stuff loaded with "Free Radicals" and worse! Darn!! It is too quick and easy to use this appliance. Guess I'll have to "slow down" and live!

Stay Healthy!!

Adult Drugs for Kids and Their Risks

2006-05-06T11:42:00.000-05:00

When I read the following article about the tendency for
more pediatric and family doctors to give adult approved
"antipsychotic" drugs to children with mental and emotional
health disorders, I was was struck with the lack of research
and the fact these drugs were never approved for growing brains!

What is Cranial Therapy or Craniopathy?

2006-03-11T19:14:00.001-05:00

The bones of the skull form a protective covering as well as functional support for the brain. The bones interconnect at the sutures to allow firm yet mildly mobility.

AT no time in your life should the cranial bones be fused together. This would be a disease condition. Instead they can be jammed, overlapped, dented, raised, spread, or distorted with reactions in the brain.

When cranial bones get distorted by trauma or chronic muscular pull or even jaw and teeth conditions, you can have subtle or obvious changes in the brain fucntion, depending where the pressure and irritation has its effects.

So loss of short term memory, poor concentration, severe headaches, altered vision, hearing, speech, smell and taste can occur. A thorough cranial exam can detect changes in the head and we can map the problems and start to correct them with hand pressure to the bones and sutures.

Depending on the extent, chronicity and recovery available to the person, the treatments are done till adequate cranial rlease occurs. This can take quite a few visits for some and lesser amounts for others.

If you have or suspect a head or brain health problems, discuss it with Dr. DiVelbiss. As always he will examine you and suggest treatment or referral to the appropriate specialist if he feels you need this.
