Fibromyalgia: What It Is and How a Chiropractor Can Help
Posted on 2012-02-14 15:11:17
Fibromyalgia is a disease diagnosed solely based on symptoms. The condition affects the musculoskeletal system, although symptoms may span across multiple systems in the body. Fatigue, depression and difficulty sleeping accompany the back pain, neck pain and stiffness that occur in tender points throughout the muscles in the body. The disease does not affect the body's internal organs, but the pain can be debilitating, keeping some patients from working or performing day to day tasks.There is no known cause of fibromyalgia, but many patients develop it after suffering a personal injury of some kind, such as an auto accident injury or a sports injury. Most patients are women between the ages of 35 and 55, although the disease can affect both sexes and people of all ages. There is also no cure for the disease, but some people find it easier to cope with the pain and manage symptoms by visiting a chiropractor.
How Our Brentwood Chiropractor Can Offer Relief and Wellness
Here at Premier Family Chiropractic, our Brentwood chiropractor treats many fibromyalgia patients with the goal of restoring wellness and reducing the discomfort and pain that accompanies the disease. Every treatment at our clinic is customized to the patient.

Posted on 2011-12-01 15:04:10
Here at Premier Family Chiropractic, our Brentwood chiropractor incorporates the benefits of massage into an overall health plan designed to alleviate pain and promote health and healing. Massage is known to benefit patients suffering from back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, joint pain and other musculoskeletal complications. Individuals who use massage as a complimentary treatment to chiropractic care often see accelerated health benefits and may even free themselves of the need for pain killers and other traditional pain management techniques. The type of massage we recommend significantly depends on the needs of our patients.Types of Massage Therapy at Our Brentwood Clinic
One of the most common types of massage therapy we recommend is deep tissue massage. This type of massage is best for individuals who suffer from back pain and other discomfort, because it encourages the muscles to relax before a chiropractic treatment, which may mean less resistance and faster improvement and healing. Although the sensations of deep tissue massage may be slightly uncomfortable for some, most patients find the health benefits well worth it.
Our chiropractic clinic also recommends relaxation massage, which is less invasive technique used on children and individuals minor complications, such as neck stiffness or small subluxations. Relaxation massage is also beneficial for individuals in chiropractic rehabilitation who cannot tolerate deep tissue massage. The technique is comfortable and relaxing - just as the name implies. Though it may seem like a treat, relaxation massage is actually beneficial to both physical and mental health.
Finally, holistic massage is beneficial to chiropractic clients who understand that being well comes from living a lifestyle that produces wellness. For example, patients may benefit from holistic massage if they suffer with hormonal inconsistencies that cause weight gain or who need assistance in cleansing the system of built-up toxins. Holistic massage therapy addresses those problems by massaging the lymph node system, which may help balance hormones and remove toxins in the body and its organs.

Posted on 2011-11-07 13:49:13
Do you typically think of your trusted chiropractor when bothered by allergies? Possibly not. But, you should consider Premier Family Chiropractic for effective allergy treatment. This noted Brentwood wellness center understands the nature of many allergens, the triggers of your symptoms and employs natural, non-invasive treatments--without drugs--to manage allergies.Chiropractic Care Can Control Headaches and Migraines Caused by Allergies
While the specific causes of allergies remain a mystery, the medical community agrees that stress or illness adversely affects your immune system. This condition can misinform your immune system, leading to allergic reactions to otherwise harmless allergens.
Dr. Uzelman focuses on strengthening your immune system and achieving total body wellness to combat the symptoms of allergies. This whole person approach also eliminates many headaches and migraines triggered by allergies. Your unpleasant reaction to allergens often centers in your nasal or sinus areas leading to annoying head pain. We can help you manage or eliminate this discomfort.
Our highly skilled staff employs effective chiropractic treatment to achieve balance of your body, which strengthens your immune system. You will notice that feeling healthy directly translates to being healthy. Repairing your nervous system issues, which are often the root source of pain, allows your body's natural healing properties to function properly.
Common medical allergy treatment involves prescribed antihistamines, which can sometimes control symptoms, but do not address the cause of your problem. Our clinic targets the cause of your allergy, often the result of immune system deficiencies and a lack of body balance. Using natural chiropractic remedies, we help you manage allergies to reduce or eliminate their symptoms.
