Chiropractic Treatment Provides Ongoing Benefits

Posted on 2012-05-17 13:24:45

chiropractor in St. Peters treats headaches.jpgChiropractic treatment is often associated with rehabilitation following an auto accident or after suffering a personal injury. Although it is true that a chiropractor can help relieve neck and back pain and facilitate healing following a musculoskeletal injury, chiropractic offers long term health benefits as well. Patients who get regular spinal adjustments may benefit from:

Resistance to Injury - Spinal and neck adjustments keep the joints, muscles and connective tissues in proper alignment. This can make the body more resistant to personal injury in the future.

Better Posture - Constant slouching can place stress on the spine, which can lead to back pain and neck pain. Regular back and neck adjustments can prevent slouching and lead to better posture.

Fewer Headaches - If you suffer from recurrent headaches, you may find that chiropractic diminishes the strength of those headaches, as well as their frequency. Spinal adjustments relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles in the spine, neck and shoulders that are responsible for many headaches.

Visit Our Chiropractor Today to Achieve Better Health

Although you may not be experiencing pain or symptoms, our chiropractor may be able to help you achieve better health and wellness. Subluxations of the spine are often minor and may not present obvious symptoms, but problems in the spine can be connected to multiple systems within the body. Many people who begin visiting our office as a part of a wellness plan begin to notice improvements and positive changes to the health of seemingly unrelated areas of the body.

Whether you are currently suffering from back or neck pain, or if you are the picture of good health, we encourage you to contact our St. Peters office for a consultation today. We use both spinal manipulations and natural therapies, such as acupuncture, to relieve pain, correct subluxations and prevent future complications from occurring.

Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Whiplash

Posted on 2012-03-19 10:49:34

St. Peters chiropractor helps with whiplash injuries.jpgSt. Peters chiropractor Dr. Quinn James has successfully treated hundreds of patients with whiplash, which is the most common car accident injury in America. More than 3 million people report suffering it every year. But because not every case results from a car accident, and because the injury tends to have a notoriously late onset, there are likely millions more people suffering from the resulting neck pain, headaches, etc. The good news is that chiropractic care enables people to fully heal from this painful neck injury.

Did Your Whiplash Trigger an Existing Neck Pain Injury?

Whiplash occurs when the head and body are suddenly yanked in different directions; and the damage can happen at speeds as low as 5 mph! It can happen because of a cars accident, during sports participation or even on roller coasters. When this happens, the neck vertebrae are suddenly snapped into unnatural positions and the vulnerable supporting tissues of muscles, tendons and ligaments are strained. Nerves are pinched, causing neck pain, back pain, headaches and other symptoms. Unfortunately, this neck injury often takes a few hours, days or even longer before manifesting symptoms, which can make it hard to diagnose. We see many patients suffering from these problems, and we sometimes discover that they suffered a neck injury in the past.

The good news, however, is that the suffering does not have to continue. Dr. James is especially certified to diagnose and treat these neck injuries. After careful diagnosis, he can apply precise cervical spinal adjustments to restore the neck to a healthy alignment and release pinched nerves. He also treats the injured soft tissues around the vertebrae with various physiotherapy and natural pain relief methods that retrain and re-strengthen those muscles. A treatment plan is tailored specifically for each individual so that there is natural healing from the inside-out.

Were you ever in a low-speed accident that jarred your neck? How did you feel afterward? Do you still suffer from neck problems? If so, call us! We can help.

Discovering the Cause of Headaches Through Chiropractic Care

Posted on 2012-01-27 09:25:12

St. Peters chiropractor helps with migraines.jpgTension headaches and migraines can occur as a result of triggers such as a change in weather or a food you have eaten that lead to great pain later on. St. Peters chiropractor Dr. James provides care and treatment for headaches. He can help patients identify and avoid the triggers that lead to headache pain.

Several injuries can lead to chronic headache and neck pain. Whiplash is an injury that usually occurs during a car accident. While whiplash is associated with neck pain, it can also cause headache pain, especially if the injury is left untreated. A sports injury, from a rough tackle or from being hit in the head, can also lead to chronic headache pain.

Food can also trigger head pain. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol can lead to migraines, as can chocolates and some types of cheese. Some people also experience migraines after eating foods that are high in mono-sodium glutamate.

For some people, a strong scent or a bright light may be enough to cause pain. Headache triggering scents include strong cologne or perfume, cigarette smoke or fumes from paint or other chemicals. Excess noise may also be enough to set off a headache.

Unpredictable external factors can also trigger headache pain, especially migraine pain. Changes in the weather can lead to pain for some people. A few people end up with a headache just before it rains, thanks to changes in barometric pressure. Others experience migraines when the temperatures go up.

Finding the Right Chiropractic Plan for You

Chiropractic techniques are used to help relieve pain and suffering related to headaches. For some patients, a spinal adjustment treats the underlying condition that causes the pain and allows them to live a pain-free life. Other patients need help discovering the causes of their migraine pain and learning ways to avoid them. After an assessment with our chiropractor, he can then determine what treatment plan is right for you.

Safe Driving Contributes to Your Wellness

Posted on 2011-11-29 14:54:54

St. Peters chiropractor treats auto accident injury.jpgSafe driving is a challenge in all but the most remote areas of the U.S. While auto makers have made modern vehicles much safer than those of the past, the number of vehicles and increase in people traveling has made defensive driving critical.

Even as a highly skilled St. Peters chiropractor, Dr. James would prefer that his neighbors avoid auto accidents that result in the back pain, whiplash and other injuries he treats on a regular basis.

How to Avoid Auto Accident Injury


Defensive driving helps you avoid neck pain, back pain and whiplash injuries. Even an outstanding chiropractor, like Dr. James, would like to have healthy, pain-free St. Peter's neighbors than having them suffer from auto accident injury. Some lesser publicized safe driving tips are just as important as the more common suggestions.

Plan trips ahead of time. Even when you are familiar with the roadways, avoiding heavy traffic, bad weather or dangerous intersections will keep you safer.

Be careful with blind spots when changing lanes. Even newer luxury vehicles with blind spot "warning" systems, will not protect you unless you react to information. Highway driving mandates that you pay close attention to blind spots that can result in injury.

Heed the potential side effects of medications. Many otherwise safe medications make people drowsy or slightly dizzy. This can be a dangerous recipe for auto accident injury.

Be alert at all intersections. Most state’s Department of Transportation publishes statistics of the most dangerous intersections in your local area. But, understand that all intersections, with or without traffic lights, are dangerous.

Dr. James employs advanced chiropractic techniques to help you recover from injuries quickly, safely and naturally. However, all superior medical professionals prefer that their neighbors enjoy good health, free of injuries and pain. Help your trusted chiropractic professional by driving safely.

James Chiropractic Treats Auto and Sports Injuries in St. Peters

Posted on 2011-10-18 11:18:06

St. Peters chiropractor treats auto accident and sports injuries.jpgWhiplash is just one type of auto accident injury and it can be devastating. One minute you're fine; the next, you can barely move your neck and you may start experiencing terrible headaches. Sport injuries, too, can put a healthy person on the sidelines in just an instant. Dr. Quinn James, our St. Peters chiropractor, treats such "instant" injuries with a total wellness approach that helps relieve pain without costly surgery and potentially harmful prescription drugs.

Treating a Sports Injury


Sport injuries can sometimes be difficult to treat, but most respond well to chiropractic techniques. One such injury is plantar fasciitis, a painful condition that affects approximately 10 percent of the population and is especially prevalent in runners. Tendonitis, the inflammation of the tendons that surround the knee, shoulder and other joints, is another sports-related injury that responds well to chiropractic care. James Chiropractic Clinic in St. Peters uses a combination of chiropractic techniques and preventative wellness care to ease your back pain, neck pain, or injury permanently and safely.

Auto Accident Injuries


Auto accident injuries can also turn a healthy person into one plagued by pain. Lower back pain, headaches, neck and shoulder pain are all common results of auto collisions. Our wellness clinic employs chiropractic techniques, along with acupuncture, to realign the spine and to ease your pain without surgery or drugs. We augment this therapy with massage, nutrition counseling and corrective exercises to build up the muscles that support the neck and shoulders and lifestyle advice about such things as choosing the right shoes or the right chair for work. Our clinic offers a full range of wellness services and treatments that support our total wellness approach to living and pain management.
