James Diesen asked:
When a person finds out that I am a Chiropractor, I usually get asked about some type of pain they may be experiencing. I always start by asking them, “Who is your Chiropractor?” The majority of the time, they answer that they don’t have one. This answer always amazes me.
There are some great Chiropractors in Jacksonville. From Mayport to Orange Park to St. Augustine, the Jacksonville area is fortunate to have some quality chiropractors.
There are some things to keep in mind when choosing a Chiropractor in Jacksonville:
• Make sure you feel comfortable with the Chiropractic office. Chiropractors have different personalities and opinions. They should never be too busy to answer any question you might have. They should always timely return your calls. A chiropractor’s staff should ALWAYS be professional and courteous.
• What Chiropractic techniques do they use? Chiropractors tend to use the techniques they feel comfortable with and the techniques they get the best results with. Most importantly they should use a technique that makes you feel most comfortable. Ask your potential chiropractor to explain what techniques are used in the clinic.
• Does your new Chiropractor have a simple straight-forward financial policy? Is it important to you that your Jacksonville Chiropractor is on your insurance plan? Does your Chiropractor offer payment options? You should always feel comfortable asking financial questions. Money issues should never get in the way of you receiving the care you need.
• Does your Chiropractor have a good relationship with medical specialists in Jacksonville? If you have a condition that requires more aggressive treatment, can your Chiropractor obtain a timely referral to a neurologist or orthopedist?
• Ask your friends or even your primary care doctor. I receive several referrals from medical doctors and I am grateful for their confidence. Ask your doctor if they can recommend someone.
• Finally, if you are still having trouble finding a Chiropractor in Jacksonville that you feel comfortable with, call me. I will recommend a Chiropractor that is close to you in the Jacksonville area.

Jim Johnson asked:
What do you need to do to become a chiropractor? Most people are not aware of all that goes into becoming a chiropractor. Often, this profession does not get enough attention. The fact is that you will learn just as much if not more when you attending schooling as compared to that of when you are learning to become a general medical doctor. The road to becoming a chiropractor starts with becoming familiar with what it is that you will face along the journey.
A good chiropractic school should be sought first. The good news is that this practice is offered through most schools that teach medical science. In fact, most people will spend an additional amount of time picking out just the right school for them. This will allow you to get the education that you need and ultimately will allow you to have the prestige of one school or another. Chiropractor school is a long journey, though, from actually becoming a chiropractor.
The individual that wants to become a chiropractor will need to dedicate himself to a course of study that fits with the needs of this licensing. Additionally, the course hours of science of the human body are generally just as long and difficult as those that are in the realm of medical doctors. Often, there is a greater need for these courses during chiropractor school.
After attending the chiropractic school, there is an additional time of learning that is done after graduation. During this time, the chiropractic doctor will work as an intern and in the field to get first hand knowledge that is very much necessary. This is usually a good deal of time.
Once these things are done the person that wants to become a chiropractor will need to apply for a license. Of course, passing of the necessary exams is necessary and this is generally done to allow you passage into the internship program. To secure the necessary license, the right amount of intern hours need to be spent. Once this is done, the individual can and will become a chiropractor.
There is no doubt that it will take quite a while to learn all that needs to be done to become a chiropractor. Often, the road will be difficult with learning on a first hand basis being some of the most challenging of all aspects. Still, through all of this, the benefits of chiropractic care can not be limited. There are plenty opportunities to help individuals to find the help that they ultimately need to succeed in their level of health care. To become a chiropractor, work hard to obtain the necessary schooling, intern hours and ultimately the knowledge necessary to succeed.

CiCi Moran asked:
The reason for this is that most medical doctors are unable to diagnose and treat the real cause of low back pain. Their treatment is likely to be ineffective and will likely result in your never getting better.
Taking drugs just masks the pain; it will never cure your low back pain, and furthermore, even drugs such as aspirin, if taken over a long period of time, can cause damage to your liver, kidneys, and stomach lining. And, masking the pain just prevents you from curing the underlying source of the pain, which allows the problem to become progressively worse over time.
Before you accept your doctor’s recommendation to have back surgery, check the alternative. A group of university scientists performed a double blind study in which one group received the traditional treatment with drugs, while another group was treated by a different method–one without drugs or surgery. While both groups reported they felt better, there was a big difference in the outcome for one of the groups.
After the treatments were discontinued, the pain returned to the first group after about one month, while the second group–the group which received Atlanta chiropractic care, reported that they were pain free.
Researchers reporting in the British Medical Journal compared the cost-effectiveness of treatment of neck pain by chiropractic care, traditional physical therapy, and medical care for 183 people. The results of the study were that the folks treated with chiropractic got better faster and at a lower cost than more traditional treatments!
You owe it to yourself to try the treatment that has been shown to be more effective. If you suffer from incapacitating headaches, just a few minutes with the doctor may change your life.
Your headaches are not necessarily caused by chemical imbalance or stress. It could be that you have an easily correctable condition in which your neck muscles and joints are actually irritating the delicate nerves which control muscle tension and blood flow, resulting in a headache that medication will never cure!
It may turn out that all you need is a simple headache evaluation to determine if you are needlessly suffering, and that the beginning of the end of your suffering may be only days away, through Atlanta chiropractic treatment.

Brandon Harshe asked:
When I drive down the street these days, it seems as if there is a chiropractor on every corner. The difficult part is figuring out which chiropractor to go to. You might be reading this and thinking “I thought all chiropractors just ***** and pop backs to relieve back pain.” That is the absolute furthest thing from the truth.
Yes, there are those chiropractors that perform what Dr. Tony Palermo describes as the “FTHSAMI” (Find The High Spot And Mash It) technique. And there are chiropractors that don’t perform adjustments, but offer nutritional counseling instead.
Chiropractors differ in their techniques as much as medical doctors. In medicine, you have orthopedists, podiatrists, gastroenterologists, proctologists, OB/GYNs, and the list goes on and on.
It’s the same with chiropractic. You can see someone who does Blair Upper Cervical, NUCCA, Gonstead, diversified, applied kinesiology, Thompson, CBP, neuro-emotional technique, Logan basic, BEST, and, again, the list can go on and on.
Finding a good chiropractor is not hard, it might just take a little due diligence on your part. I’ve assembled a criteria that I think helps in finding a good chiropractor that you will feel comfortable with.
Calling around different chiropractic offices is where you’ll probably start. Make sure that when you call, the person answering on the other end is outgoing and friendly.
Also, make sure they can explain to you what they do. Getting someone like 65-year-old Thelma, who has a deeper voice than Barry White from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day since she was sixteen, is probably the first and only indication you need to pass on that office.
The front desk CA (Chiropractic Assistant) has to be friendly and helpful. No one likes filling out paperwork and new patient forms or packets. If the front desk CA can get you through the first day routine without you acquiring a headache is key.
Payment arrangements and scheduling also get taken care of by this person. Make sure they get you scheduled for at least two weeks worth of appointments right off the bat. This way, you’re not wasting time trying to schedule your next appointment after every visit.
This is where you walk in to a chiropractic office and your first thought is “Wow!” The environment is peaceful, clean, organized, and flows smoothly.
Walking in somewhere where the doctor has a collection of old, worn furniture from a junkyard, the paint is peeling, and the front desk looks like someone took a leaf blower to a stack of papers is your sign to get out of there fast! This is something you’ll notice right as you walk in, or at least you should.
Sure, the chiropractor may be the most skilled at his or her technique. But if they don’t explain to you in a way that you get it and understand the importance of your care, who cares how good they are at their technique?
An effective chiropractor will be able to explain your situation and how he or she can correct it. If they don’t tell you anything or act like you wouldn’t understand, there’s your sign. I’ve seen chiropractors who think they know everything and the patient knows nothing. Not a fun time, I can assure you.
If you’re going to see your traditional diversified “FTHSAMI” chiropractor, you might as well go to a physical therapist or an osteopath. The point is not to get your bones moved, it’s to detect and correct vertebral subluxations. Ways that a doctor can check you are x-rays, leg checks, thermography scans, or muscle tests.
You want a chiropractor that can find a subluxation, if you have one. If you do, you want that chiropractor to correct it. Lastly, you want that chiropractor to make sure they removed the subluxation. Vertebral subluxations are so life-altering, especially in the upper cervical spine, that you better make sure your chiropractor can properly correct it.
Knowing what technique a doctor utilizes in correcting a subluxation is important. Not everybody likes the same chiropractic technique. The Blair and NUCCA Upper Cervical techniques utilize a hand adjustment. Some people might prefer an Orthospinology or Atlas Orthogonal adjustment, which utilize a tool instead. You might like applied kinesiology, which takes a whole body approach and does its analysis by muscle testing. It’s really up to you.
You have to know what you’re looking for. Do some research online. It’s not hard to find out about the different techniques. Once you do, find out which doctors use that particular technique in your area. Here is a great website to do just that. If your chiropractor has all six of these components as part of their practice, chances are that you’re in good shape. If even one of these is missing, go find a chiropractic office that has all these components. They are out there. You just have to search.

Patrick Porter asked:
When you are in pain, finding relief is the most pressing thought in your mind. Masking the pain with painkillers or dangerous surgery often leads to unfavorable results, and risks your future chances for living a pain-free life. That’s why finding a caring, professional chiropractor should be your first choice.
A qualified chiropractor can quickly provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan, or can point you in the direction of a medical professional who can help you.
During your initial consultation, the professional chiropractor will gather your health history. After an initial exam he or she will be able to tell you what chiropractic services can do for you.
As an example, one patient began to have pain in his shoulder related to an old football injury for which he had previously had surgery. He decided to try a chiropractor before taking any radical measures. “My doctor wanted me to have additional surgery to correct the problem. Luckily, I went to a chiropractor first. My once a month visits eliminate my pain almost completely. I am even able to enjoy playing golf with no soreness.”
Why Your Family Doctor Can’t Relieve Your Back Pain
Family physicians are trained to know a little about a lot of things. Your body is an amazing biomechanical machine. Chiropractors specialize in relieving back pain by working with the mechanics of the human machine. Medical doctors are trained to work with the biology. They are adept at prescribing drugs that alter or react with human biology. Unfortunately, these chemical painkillers often come with a price: potential addiction, immune suppression, lethargy, and constipation, to name a few. Not only that, the body continues to be damaged by misalignment of the spine.
Doesn’t it make good common sense to seek out a back pain specialist when you have back pain? Wouldn’t you prefer to try a natural remedy before turning to drugs or putting your body through the trauma of surgery?
Don’t worry, your chiropractor will know if he or she can’t treat you and will refer you to an appropriate specialist.
The Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care
Short-term and regular chiropractic care has a number of benefits including spinal and extremity pain relief. With monthly visits you can increase mobility, experience better range of motion, decrease stiffness in your back and eliminate muscular spasms. Another patient found no solution for her migraine headaches outside of her Chiropractor’s care.
Other popular uses for Chiropractor care are arthritic joint pain relief, increased joint health, increased performance and energy, increased sense of wellbeing and relaxation, increased balance and coordination, reduced degeneration and risk of injury, enhanced tissue healing and decreased tissue inflammation.

Pete Wyatt asked:
Chiropractic medicine is believed to have been around since 1895. Chiropractors believe that joint mobility and anatomical alignment of the spine can exert inconceivable effects on your nervous system. Since the spinal column is so much a part of the nervous system, chiropractors think that manual adjustments can promote and improve the overall health of a person. Such treatment can reduce whatever is exerting pressure on the spinal cord, the chief neurological tissue.
When misalignment or fracture is found on any of the vertebrae, this is normally attributed to either an accident, a fall or even body tension. Whatever the cause may be, when your spinal nerve root is irritated, you will experience the reflexes of pinched nerves, usually resulting in severe back pain. That’s one reason for you to visit a chiropractor.
When examining a patient most chiropractors use the same approach as that of medical doctors. First is the consultation. Next is the discussion of your case history. Then this should lead to a physical examination. Further tests may then be needed such as laboratory analysis and x-ray studies.
Chiropractic care engages a drug-free and non-surgical methodology in treating the patients. It involves manually manipulating your body joints and adjusting your spinal column to bring a sense of balance back to your body. Thus restoring your health. This process is even believed to have disease prevention effects. When all is done, your joints should be able to have normal motion back again. Not only that, your body will have diminished nerve interferences, resulting in removal of stressful attacks, rejuvenating your whole body back into its healthful state.
The following will give a brief idea of how spinal joint mobility can actually be restored by chiropractic practice. Through using a highly trained manual sequence called chiropractic spinal manipulation, pressure is applied or forced to the joints that have been limited by muscle strain, inflammation and/or pain. This form of manipulation will relieve tightness and pain of muscles, and also promote general health. It also is found to be especially helpful in reducing back pain and in treating sciatica with disc protrusions.
As stated above, these types of manual adjustments can be very helpful in treating sciatica. They can help ease the irritations in the root nerves that are causing all the sharp pains, inflammation and muscle spasms usually associated with sciatica. Alignment adjustments and mobility manipulations are both safe and should be pain free. If there are discomforts during or after treatments, make sure to let your chiropractor know immediately.
The sounds you hear when a chiropractor makes adjustments to your joints are not the sounds of bones cracking. These are sounds of gases being released from your joints, incredible as this may sound. But they are actually the release of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide which have built up in your joints, causing them pressure. You should begin to feel wonderfully good after the chiropractor is done with this. There should be no discomfort unless your muscles are in spasm or you get overly tensed about the whole procedure. It’s quite important that you are able to relax in an adjustment session. Tensing up your body works against you and defeats what the chiropractor is trying to do for you.
Chiropractic care can be an incredible aid for maintaining a healthier pregnancy. From controlling nausea all the way to having a full term delivery. It could even help in shortening the time of labor and delivery! Most of the professionals have been trained to work with pregnant patients and so it is very safe for both the mother and the baby.
When modern medicine cannot offer any genuine relief for those with chronic back pain, it’s time for you to definitely check out chiropractic care. Instead of taking more pain-killers, and facing the possibility of surgery, you have a truly viable alternative here.
Many people who began visiting a chiropractor found out it made them feel much better than they had in years. When you keep your body in alignment, it returns back the favor by keeping you in better overall health. Taking constant medications does no good to your health in the long run. And nobody likes going for surgery either. So it should only be the last resort, after you’ve exhausted all other means.
Chiropractic care is now a century old practice and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. Real world results are confirming that these manual adjustments are bringing surprisingly good health benefits to patients. There are other issues of health where positive results are even surfacing because of this treatment. In areas such as allergies, headaches, adult and child ADHD, they can be either relieved or diminished by going to the chiropractor. As time progresses, it looks promising that many more areas of common health issues will likely be uncovered, which could responsively benefit from the chiropractic care approach.

And nobody likes going for surgery either. So it should only be the last resort, after you’ve exhausted all other means.
Chiropractic care is now a century old practice and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. Real world results are confirming that these manual adjustments are bringing surprisingly good health benefits to patients. There are other issues of health where positive results are even surfacing because of this treatment. In areas such as allergies, headaches, adult and child ADHD, they can be either relieved or diminished by going to the chiropractor. As time progresses, it looks promising that many more areas of common health issues will likely be uncovered, which could responsively benefit from the chiropractic care approach.
