Facet Syndrome Causing your Back Pain?

What is Facet Syndrome? 

Facet syndrome  is type of back pain that can often include the buttock or leg, that is generated by a unique set of joints between each vertebrae, called the facet joints. The facet joints work with the corresponding disc to link the vertebrae above and below. This helps to form a working unit that allows for stability and weight-bearing capacity  and movement of the spine.

Why are they painful?

What causes the facet joints to become painful? Usually the pain comes from an injury to the joint or  changes associated with aging (degeneration). When either occur, the joint can become inflamed which then causes pain. Regular exercise,proper body mechanics and posture will help keep the facet joint healthy and moving properly, which can help decrease the chance of injury.

How to treat Facet Syndrome?

If in fact it is facet syndrome there are many techniques that the chiropractor can perform to help decrease the pain. Your chiropractor may use manipulation, soft tissue techniques and physical therapy to help decrease the pain experienced. If you are experiencing pain in the low back visit your chiropractor for the proper diagnosis.

Who doesn't have fun to get dressed up in a costume and parade around the neighborhood or going to a party. Treats are a part of the fun. However, treats don't have to be sticky, gooey candy to be delicious!

Here are a List of Some Healthy Alternative Snacks that can be Handed out at Halloween this Year:

3. Small packages of nuts or raisins

4. Package of instant cocoa mix

5. apples

6. chocolate covered strawberry's

For those who enjoy the traditional idea of Halloween here are some simple ways to help your kids stay healthy: Make sure your child eats a healthy filling meal before going trick-or-treating. This will help prevent over eating of candy. Always check the candy before your child eats it. If any is opened, disguard of the candy. Lastly, remember, it is better to eat the candy over several days. Reward your child with the candy for dessert if they eat their whole meal instead of letting them eat a handful of candy before dinner.

Chiropractic Care and Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung disease which is responsible for the inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This can make it very hard to breath. The most common symptoms a child with asthma will display are wheezing, tightness in the chest, coughing and shortness of breath.

Chiropractic Care is the Natural, Drug-Free Approach 

In some cases, a chiropractor may be able to provide a natural and drug free approach that works to treat asthma in children and adults. A chiropractor can help determine if subluxation, which is a misalignment of the bones in the spine which irritates nerves, is causing the asthma. If this is the case, a simple pain free adjustment of the spine may help decrease the effects of asthma. The lungs and diaphragm are responsible for breathing and their ability to function correctly is controlled by the nervous system. If there is irritation or interference of the nervous system, the lungs simply can’t function optimally.

Contact your local chiropractor and ask if they can help you in the fight against asthma!
