Arthritis
Cryotherapy
Statistically, significant improvement was noted for 93% of the 28 patients studied in the Woodward study while under chiropractic care. In the research study chiropractic care consisted of spinal manipulation, PNF, and cryotherapy. Many of the patients were treated prior to the study with NSAIDS, soft collars, and physiotherapy.
Nutritional Counseling
Emergency Care
Emergency room doctors say that sciatica is one of the most common things they encounter each year. Millions of people in America will suffer with the pain of sciatica and many never achieve a long-term solution. Their problem continues to worsen because they have not received the correct treatment. This article from Thousand Oaks United Chiropractic will help you to understand the ins and outs of this condition, and what you can do to overcome it.

Kidney Stones
In addition to all of these possibilities, physical injury is not always the primary cause. Conditions such as obesity, arthritis, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections have been shown to give symptoms of lower back pain. With all of these possibilities, it is important to find a doctor that takes into account all aspects of health to reach an accurate diagnosis. Fortunately, our team at Thousand Oaks United ChiropracticÂ in San Antonio has many years of education and experience to determine the correct diagnosis. Without an accurate diagnosis and treatment, even the most minor conditions can develop into serious lifelong conditions.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Did you know that just as nerves become pinched in your back by the bones in your spine, the bones in your wrist may also compress nearby nerves giving rise to the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome? While many people seek treatment through surgical means we have had success in treating carpel tunnel syndrome through non-invasive adjustments to the bones of the wrist. With surgical procedures costing anywhere between $6,000 and $11,000 dollars and only resulting in full resolution of symptoms in less than 60% of the cases, many people are beginning to elect a more conservative approach to care. For these reasons, this short article will provide some general information about carpal tunnel and the alternative treatment solutions available.

MRI
One of the most common and painful causes of back pain is a disc bulge or herniation. However, it is important to recognize that not all disc bulges or herniation result in pain. It has been found through MRI studies that as much as 37% of the American population has a disc bulge or herniation, and the vast majority of them are experiencing no pain or other related symptoms. Unfortunately, the people who are experiencing pain often describe it as severe and intense.

Sciatica
Many people wonder what sciatica feels like? Patients often describe the pain of sciatica as a slight discomfort to the most extreme unbearable pain. Sciatic pain can show up in different areas of the leg and foot, and many times the pain will come and go. Over years, people tend to go through periods of pain that typically intensify as the problem goes unchecked.
Whiplash
Have you experienced a whiplash? Most car accidents are rear-end collisions. Each of which vary in severity. Many of our patients that are involved in rear-end collisions donâ€™t even realize they have received injuries until weeks or months post-impact. Their medical doctors do not always acknowledge injuries that occur at lower speeds, but research today says differently. If you have been injured in an accident this article will help you understand the options that you have.

Ulcer
Causes of subluxations range from physical trauma, stress, and toxins. Just as stress can contribute to the formation of an ulcer in the gut, it can also cause physiological changes in the body that result in the vertebrae in our back moving out of position. The time frame to correct subluxations varies by the individual, but our team at Thousand Oaks United Chiropractic is trained to find and correct this issue.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
The most appropriate treatment for your carpal tunnel syndrome largely depends on the underlying cause. As with most conditions, it is advised that patients begin with a non-invasive and more affordable treatment. While prescription medications, decompression surgeries, and forms of physical therapy may provide short-term relief, the symptoms often reappear without the correction of the nerve interference in the spine. We will perform an evaluation of your condition and formulate an individualized treatment plan that best suits you. Following spinal corrections, many patients experience substantial improvements of their symptoms. If symptoms persist, adjustments to the bones of the wrist and therapies to the surrounding tissues is often considered.
Frozen Shoulder
However, many people develop arm and leg pain gradually over time, and are relatively unaware of what may have caused it. When the patient is perplexed by what may have caused the pain, vertebral subluxations, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and frozen shoulder become likely suspects. In addition to these sources of pain, switching or taking new medications such as, antibiotics, birth control, and anxiety medications have been shown to contribute to development of insidious arm and leg pain.
Slipped Disc
Have you been told that you have a slipped disc or have a disc injury? They can vary from slight to severe, but most require the attention of a trained chiropractor. Our team at Thousand Oaks United Chiropractic can help you understand your condition and help toÂ develop the best treatment option for you.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
As the science of chiropractic has evolved, so have the techniques used within its practice. Common treatment methods have grown to include nutritional counseling, orthotics, lifestyle modification / exercise programs, and physical rehabilitation programs. While these adjunctive treatments are certainly beneficial, spinal and joint manipulation remains the primary and most effective mode of treatment by our Atchison clinic. Statistics reflect that nearly 95% of patients that seek chiropractic care do so as a result of musculoskeletal pain such as...
