The 25-Second Balance Challenge Since falls are a major cause of serious injury, especially for older adults, here’s a simple way to objectively measure and improve your sense of balance… First, stand in a place where you can catch yourself from falling (like behind a chair or in a corner).

The majority of patients in pain will seek treatment from primary care providers (PCP’s) to get relief. Low back pain, in particular, is the most common neuromusculoskeletal symptom presented to PCP’s, and the fifth most common cause for all physician visits.

Yet current systems of care do not adequately train or support internists, family physicians, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers who provide primary care, in meeting the challenge of treating pain as a chronic illness.

A 2010 study of patients with low back pain who initiated care with a DC resulted in 40% lower health care costs when compared with care initiated through a medical doctor.

Similarly, a study found that patients using chiropractic physicians as their primary care providers had significant decreases in hospital admissions (43%), pharmaceutical costs (52%), and outpatient surgeries and procedures (43%).

Chiropractors approach patient care in a manner similar to that used in conventional medicine. They interview the patient, obtain a detailed health history, perform an examination, do tests, and develop a working diagnosis. They then develop a management plan, start treatment, and monitor the patient’s progress.

The manual treatment methods used by chiropractors range from stretching and sustained pressure to specific joint manipulations, which are usually delivered by hand and involve a quick and gentle thrust.

The purpose of the manipulations is to improve joint motion and function. Manipulations are most commonly done on the spine, but other parts of the body may also be treated in this way.

At Premier Chiropractic of Tacoma, our experienced doctor will provide a thorough assessment of your condition and create a personalized treatment plan to aid in your recovery.

It is important to have the proper exercises to strengthen the muscles around the chiropractically adjusted bone structure.

At our Tacoma Chiropractor office, our doctor educates our patients on proper structure and function of the skeleton and muscles, explains which muscles are relevant to the painful region, and prescribes corrective exercises to strengthen those supporting muscles. This ensures that the chiropractic adjustments “hold” longer, and hopefully, permanently.

While migraines are still not fully understood (meaning they are likely underdiagnosed and undertreated), the available data show they are

Our Tacoma Chiropractor office is different -we have our own in-house massage therapists. This is because we believe that, for many patients, complete recuperation from back pain and/or injury requires relaxation of muscular tension in conjunction with chiropractic spinal adjustments.

Massage therapy serves to relax muscle tension, increase blood circulation, reduce stress, quicken healing, reduce pain, and help you breathe easier and be more relaxed. The benefits of coupling Massage Therapy with Chiropractic have been shown to be many.

All in all, combining massage therapy with your chiropractic care offers a drug-free, natural approach to healing and wellness.
