Here is an example of a chiropractic patient that has followed through on all of her treatments and is now doing much better thanks to chiropractic adjustments.

"My name is Berniciius I was in a car accident. I had lower back pain and knee pain and after a couple of weeks of treatment I am feeling much better.

Thank you Dr. Evans"

Cervicogenic headaches are usually caused by a reduced range of motion in the cervical spine which causes spikes of pain in the neck and head.

This past fall a case study involving a young 13 year old patient that suffered from Cervicogenic headaches was conducted. The Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health, went on to say that the young patient suffered from these headaches for  five hours a day for the past four years.

While the jury is still out on what are the causes of these headaches as well as what is the most effective way to treat them... This study showed how 6 weeks of chiropractic care was able to successfully eliminate all of the headache symptoms.

The initial chiropractic exam showed posture problems as as "subluxations" in the thoracic and cervical spine.

A series of gentle manipulations with an activator can help to realign these subluxation which are effectingg the spinal nerves.

Within 6 weeks of chiropractic care, the young mans  posture and range of motion improved dramatically. Best of all  there was a 13 year old boy that had no head aches for the first time in 4 years.

DR. Torey Evans, chiropractor Jefferson GA has released a new video introducing his services on the internet.

Dr. Torey was a little nervous about talking in front of a camera. (Think of how nervous you would be!) But that is OK, because he really wants to help you. He knows that you wouldn't be reading this right now unless you were hurting and in pain.

Allow a chiropractor in Jefferson GA a chance to show you how chiropractics can help relieve the pressure and pain you have been dealing with.

There have been many young athletes with their eyes on the goal of competing in the Olympics or playing for a professional sports team that have had to hang up their dreams because of the pain.

Players that play hard can often overdue it. They are winners and are not willing to quit. So many times they will not listen to their bodies and give them time to heal properly.

They are pushed internally by a desire to succeed. When young athletes are not honest with themselves and others about the seriousness of the pain they are in they are only fooling themselves. Unknowingly, well meaning coaches , team mates and parents may push them to try harder.

There is a lot of pressure on the young athlete to succeed. Everyone has the hope of being the next Michael Jordon or Olympic star with their own Nike commercial and their face on the cereal boxes. With scholarships in view many will push themselves past the point of no return and cause permanent damage to their knees or lower back.

Now here is the good news. Did you know that many of the top sports athletes in gymnastics, wrestling, football, soccer, baseball and basketball use chiropractics to experience a quicker recovery time?

In fact, it is the best kept secret of the bprofessional sports figures today and now I would like to share the secret with you... the aspiring young athlete.

If you are an athlete that is competing in pain right now, I would like to talk with you. I believe that chiropractics will help you get back on the playing field faster than any therapy and I would like to show you how.

For a limited time I am offering a risk free consultation and introductory exam. I used to charge over $100 for this but I am willing to wave that to gain your trust.

Allow me the honor of your Jefferson Georgia chiropractor.

Whiplash, or a severe straining of the neck muscles occurs often when there is a car accident. This straining of the muscles can cause severe pain and discomfort for weeks.

In today's article we will talk about how to minimize the chances of this happening to you by adjusting the headrest in your car. The purpose of the headrest is not just to make you comfortable but to support the weak muscles of our neckas a protective device.

In this article from the Wiinipego Free News Dr. Sean Shapiro a chiropractor from Winnepego Canada is interviewed on this subject notice what the article tells us:

"The proper setting for the seat back is almost at 90 degrees, he said, adding that keeping the seat too far back may be comfortable but it will act like a ramp during a collision. "The body will rise up along the seatback and the head will snap over the back of the headrest," Shapiro said.

The headrest should be raised to the top of the individual's head, with the middle of the headrest just above the occupant's ear, he said."

According to DR. Shapiro neck injuries can be reduced up to 40%  just by adjusting your headrest correctly. You can review the video explaining how to do this correctly over here.

As part of our chiropractic services here in Jefferson GA we can often help you with your whiplash trauma, neck pain or car accident injuries without having to resort to drugs or surgery. Please call us at (770)654-1196    

If you have a job that keeps you at a desk Monday - Friday then you need to read today's article. June M. Lay, is a  Lifestyle Columnist for  HealthNewsDigest.com

June sits at the computer all day long researching and writing her articles for her column. As you can probably relate to her shoulders, neck and upper back get tight and cause her much discomfort. Notice what she has to say about the importance of stretching everyday and how it can make a difference in your life:

"Research has indicated that regular stretching may be more effective in preventing injuries than occasional stretching and a systematic scientific-based review of 7 out of 9 studies indicates that regular stretching improves our sports performance. I personally learned how important stretching when sitting at my computer gave me kinks in my neck (as I sit here and type!)."

Do you suffer from kinks in your neck?  June talks about the importance of stretching everyday, and how it helps her to manage her tension. She also talks about the value of going to a chiropractor when she needs an adjustment.

Here are a few tips she shares to maximize your stretching:

• . While exercising before exercise is important... exercising after exercise while you cool down is just as important to avoid stiffness later on.  Now this may come as a surprise to some but we've been talking about the importance of doing this since we opened our facility here in Jefferson GA.

• As soon as you get out of the bed do some lower back stretches to help that stiff back. Make it a habit everyday and you will see the difference in a few days.

• Never, never, never bounce while  stretching. It could lead to muscle spasms or even worse.

• Do not overstretch as it can cause injury. Listen to your body and work within its limitations.

• Seek professional advice for targeting specific muscle groups that need stretching. This is especially helpful if you are in sports or do a lot of typing. If you come to our Natural Health Center in Jefferson GA we will be happy to train you exactly how to do this.

• Listen to your body. If a specific stretch is hurting you, then stop it. The odds are you are doing it incorrectly and can actually cause more damage to yourself. A perfect example of that is in this article here on  neck pain and exercising.
  

• June concludes with this advice, "Stretch all muscles and muscle groups. Don't leave any out. Overstretching one muscle group such as our hamstrings, and never stretching our quadriceps can contribute to imbalances. Hence, possible injuries."  In our practice here we see this everyday. People do the stretches they see on TV or learned in school. However they are completely ignoring the other muscles that counter balance these muscle groups. That is why when we work with our patients we teach them a different stretch each week to add to their routine. Remember to hold those stretches for 30 seconds for maximum effect.

When you are ready to feel better, come visit us. We are much more than just a chiropractic office here. When you work with Dr. Torey you not only get a chiropractor you get a coach too that will train you to stretch everyday and teach you how to feel better.

This recent news article talks about the mounting frustrations of sick people that are only offered very expensive conventional therappies that offer little or no solace at all.

The first story is of 9 year old Cari has cancer and the insurance company gladly pays for her $2,200 a day radiation treatments that have zapped every ounce of her youth and vitality. Recently the doctors told her it was all over and that Mr. & Mrs Hadac's little girl would be be dead within 2 months.

Desperate for answers they began to explore the alternative field of chiropractics. How surprised they were to find their little girls strength and vitality begin to return. Of course we are not saying chiropractics cured her cancer. No one can cure cancer. However, her quality of life has improved.

The frustrating part for the family is that the insurance company gladly pays for $2,200 radiation treatments that didn't work but will not pay the $500 a month for her chiropractor care that is helping.

Go figure.

Who said that the world needs to make sense?

For a limited time I am trying an experiment.

If you are holding back from chiropractic care because of the initial investment, I would like to talk with you. I am now offering a free intro exam and visit

If you run, jog, do aerobics, play tennis or any other sports for that matter then you need to stretch first. How long should you stretch for?

That is a good question, because you may THINK you are stretching, but in actuality you are not helping your muscles and joints at all.

Whereas many professionals feel that you should stretch your muscles and hold that stretch for 15 seconds, new studies show that you will not get the maximum benefit from this. In fact... some show you may not get any significant results.

If you want to really help yourself you need to stretch and hold for 30 seconds. Anything less than 20 seconds will not  make a significant difference in lengthening your muscle fibers and tissue. The American College of Sports Medicine advises stretching your major muscle groups two or three days a week.

How often do you stretch? As discussed in an other post we have to be careful how we exercise, because if done incorrectly exercise could be causing your pain. If you need any help with finding exercises that help you to stetch you may contact me here or consult with your chiropractor.

My back hurts!

Did you know that a systematic routine of back strengthening exercises could really make a difference in how you are feeling?

Think about it for a moment.

Your back is hurting because something is out of adjustment. So you get a spinal adjustment from your chiropractor. Since your back muscles are weak, or you may have a muscle spasm, you  can not hold the adjustment for long and so before you know it your back begins to hurt again.

The answer?

1. Deep muscle massage can relieve the pulling muscle spasms in your back.
2. Back strengthening exercises and stretches can then maintain those muscles. (Don't worry I will teach you some very easy ones to learn)
   
3. Regular chiropractic maintenance will then take care of the minor day to day issues that come from twisting, turning and bending.

Is it worth it?

Ask our patients that no longer have to rely on pain pills any longer.
