Suwanee - Johns Creek Chiropractic : We Can Help
As a Suwanee Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we fully understand the relationship between the condition of your physical body and how it makes you feel. At Johns Creek Chiropractic and Wellness Center we have helped hundreds of patients live a normal life through a complete chiropractic care program utilizing state-of-the-art computerized technology and X-ray to evaluate the spine and nervous system.
Most people associate Chiropractic care with neck and back problems, but those who consult Suwanee - Johns Creek chiropractors discover that Chiropractic can help with a wide variety of other health conditions. At our office our most rewarding cases involve…
Headaches and Migraines
Many patients have entered our Suwanee chiropractic office complaining of severe migraine headaches with little to no hope for a cure. Most of these patients had been suffering for years and had been told by their M.D. that it would be something they would just have to learn to live with. Many explained that they had tried everything known to medical science but their only hope for comfort was to take very strong medication and retreat to a quiet place until it was over.
Adjusting the spine to eliminate stress in the neck most often “cures” headaches and migraines. Your neck requires a natural curve to prevent arthritis and also allows for proper nervous system function. When your nervous system is working properly, you are healthy. When it is not, a common complaint is headaches.
Watch our patient video testimonials of people who have been saved from their chronic headaches and migraines once they began and completed their chiropractic care program. If you have been unable to work, or enjoy your daily activities due to headaches and migraines call and make an appointment today to find out if your neck may be the cause!
Childhood Ear Infections
If you are a parent of a child with reoccurring ear infections be sure and read through this carefully. Historically, the treatment for ear infections has been antibiotics. This method of treatment has come under severe attack over the past several years for many reasons.
The first reason is that the overuse and over prescription of these antibiotics has led to what is termed “antibiotic resistant bacteria.” The bacteria have “evolved” and changed so that the antibiotics no longer affect them. Because of this phenomena stronger and stronger antibiotics are being used, which is leading to more and more resistance.
The second reason antibiotics have come under fire is because study after study has demonstrated that they are not effective. In other words, they don’t work! That is why so many children are on one antibiotic after another, stronger and stronger each time. Sure, many times the infection goes away, but it quickly returns with a vengeance, and so begins another antibiotic roller coaster, or even worse…tubes.
Even medical associations understand that this type of treatment is risky and the America Pediatric Association has frowned upon it. They have gone as far as to recommend against excessive antibiotic use. Antibiotics kill off most bacteria in the body including all helpful “good” bacteria the body needs. This depletes your child’s immune system making them vulnerable to many more infections of varying types. Prescribing antibiotics is nothing more then treating the symptoms of an ear infection. It is not addressing the cause. So what is the cause?
The cause of chronic ear infections could be due to the treatment that is prescribed. I am referring to a weakened immune system from antibiotics that kill off good bacteria, which diminish your child’s health and vitality.
So what can you do?
First, you must look at the anatomy of the ear. In young children, the Eustachian tubes are horizontal and are prone to fluid build up. When we grow older, they gradually acquire a near 45-degree angle. The horizontal tubes often slow draining and allow fluid to build up which can become infected.
As a wellness center and chiropractic office our primary objective is to address the root cause of health problems and not just treat the symptom.
Examining the neck allows us to evaluate the direct link between the nerves of the neck (a ganglion) and the muscles of the Eustachian tubes (tensor veli pallatini) and the middle ear.
When these nerves are not functioning well, the tensor veli pallatini may go into spasm and restrict draining of the fluid. This fluid combined with a stressed immune system may result in an ear infection. Our job is to determine if nerve disturbance is present and correct it. By correcting the nerve disturbance, your child’s body is given the potential to heal, be well, and to function as it was intended to.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule your child’s first visit, give us a call today or make an appointment now. Countless others have brought their children in and had great success.
