Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. Each year more than 15 million Americans choose chiropractic for safe, natural and effective relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, extremity pain, poor overall health, low energy levels and much more.

Make an appointment today and let our highly qualified doctors, licensed massage therapists and expertly trained staff help you take the first steps to feeling better.

Attorneys to Handle Your Car Wreck?

Published December 17th, 2022 in Uncategorized

One of the most stressful things to happen to someone driving on Dixie Hwy. or anywhere else is to get in a car accident. Immediately our thoughts go to whether our insurance rates will go up, if we are injured, and if anyone else is hurt in the wreck. Finding a lawyer after a car wreck is a personal choice. Sometimes the insurance company will give you a low-ball offer for the value of your car, as a example. Do you want to go it alone and battle it out with the powerful insurance company like Allstate or Progressive? Or do you want to hire the right lawyer for your representation? If you get into a car wreck in the 40216 Shively zip code, the 40215 zip code, or whether your car accident was on some other part of Dixie Hwy. you may be able to handle this insurance issues on your own. Finding a good car wreck lawyer 40216, 40215 or other area is not easy. Pick a lawyer that has a good commercial? Probably not? The biggest lawyer in town with very high overhead that makes it important that he or she gets a good settlement for your case. Lawyers on Dixie Hwy. for car wrecks are a mixed bag. Some will not return your call for several weeks or not at all. Chiropractic care after a car wreck is another consideration. Some attorneys have a cozy relationship with a chiropractor that does not have any real experience treating car wrecks. You want to pick the right one. Cardinal Chiropractic can help with your car wrecks, and we happen to know a lawyer or too that will fight for your money.

Fibromyalgia did not exist 40 years ago. Conditions like it were known as Epstein-Barr or chronic fatigue syndrome. In 2023 on Dixie Highway in particular, or anywhere in the 40216 area code, there is just too much stress for the human body to endure. If you imagine the human body and the amount of stress it can take, when that point is reached the body is overloaded with physical, chemical, and emotional stress that must go somewhere. This stress over flows into the surrounding muscle tissue. There are approximately 18 stress points on the human body that are common to doctors and patients alike. Some are above and around the shoulder blades, some are on the inside (median) knee, and this is just a general guide, as these trigger points can form in other area. Fibromyalgia can cause unbearable pain as well as fatigue and depression, and are a debilitating problem that has reached epidemic levels in our fast-paced society.

Just a quick look at the 6 lane traffic on Dixie Highway can make anyone a believer in the power of the mind and body to affirm that the environment we live in can contribute to stress, and thus, fibromyalgia. Those who live in the 40216 zip code in Shively know firsthand how much stress we have to endure just leading our daily lives. Don’t believe me? Come down to Cardinal Chiropractic and sit in our parking lot and just watch the faces of the motorists as they try to cross two lanes of busy traffic to get in the “suicide”, or middle lane just to get home from work or do an errand.

What to do after a car accident part 1

What to do after a car accident Part 1

Auto accidents can really ruin your day. Not only are car accidents frightening, they can be enormously stressful. Immediately after the accident you must make sure you and your passenger(s) are all ok. If you or your passenger have any clear fluid coming from the nose or ears, this is a sign of a possible brain injury and emergency care is essential. Have some one call 911 or an ambulance.

One of the first things you must do is notify your insurance company. If you have no insurance, you may still be able to get treatment for your injuries if the accident was not your fault. Make sure you get the police officers full name, badge number and phone number if possible. You may need to talk to the officer at a later date.

The physics involved in an auto accident must be considered when evaluating the impact of the accident on the human body. The force of a moving motor vehicle is extreme. Being struck by a vehicle moving at just 10 miles an hour can be equivalent to catching a 40 pound bag of cement from a second story window! The spine is protected by muscle ,tendons and ligaments, which can be damaged with even minor collisions. Whiplash is a common result of such impacts. The neck has five muscle layers, and these muscle fibers generally run from the back of the skull to the top of the shoulders. These muscle fibers can be easily stretched or torn when the force of an impact goes into the body. Imagine strands of spaghetti being pulled at either end. The spaghetti would tear at some point. The same happens with muscle fibers in the cervical area. After these muscles are stretched and torn, if left untreated scar tissue formation may occur, which restricts the patients range of motion. It is easy to find someone who has had such a problem. Symptoms ranging from headaches to hand pain can be traced back to an accident as a teenager.

(To be continued)

Car accidents happen frequently on Dixie Highway and surrounding areas. Usually an ambulance will show up on the scene. Beware of unauthorized people showing up on the scene that are ambulance chasers! This happened to me after I got in a wreck a few months ago. I couldn’t believe it, I told the guy to @#@$ off!

If you get in a car wreck, you should ice the areas where it hurts. We can help, call us at 502-448-5241 or you can schedule right from the top left part of our home page!
