Many folks only decide it’s a good time to visit their local chiropractic care specialist in Fremont, CA when they have back or neck pain. However, the truth is, there are a wide variety of health conditions that chiropractic adjustments can help address, diminish, if not get rid of completely.

Below are a few occasions when it’s appropriate to visit your chiropractor.

You’re in Pain

If you have back, neck, shoulder, joint, leg, or even hand and foot pain, your chiropractic care specialist can provide treatments that will offer drug-free pain relief, even for chronic pain (like rheumatoid arthritis, for instance).

You Lack Mental Focus

Did you know that chiropractic treatments offer neurofunctional benefits that help your brain work better! Many people experience a thing called “Dim Bulb” which is the result of the brain and body’s communication channels getting jammed up. A chiropractic adjustment will help boost mental cognition, setting you up for success.

Your Immune System Has Been Slacking

If you’ve been feeling yourself getting sick or you’re feeling anything less than 100%, a chiropractic adjustment can help. Chiropractic treatment has been shown to help the body’s internal systems function at an optimum capacity, including your immune system and your digestive system.

Achilles tendinitis (also called tendinitis of the heel) is something that can come on swiftly — even if it’s due to extended strain and overuse. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to provide drug-free pain relief in such cases, not to mention help the body mend itself so the condition is relieved.

Achilles tendinitis occurs when the Achilles tendon (the largest tendon in the body) becomes irritated and/or inflamed. Your Achilles tendon undergoes tremendous strain, especially if you’re a runner or an athlete.

One option for Achilles pain is chiropractic treatment. Active Release Therapy (ART) is 

And one of the best ways to do this is with a treatment technique called Active Release (ART). ART, the gold standard in Achilles pain relief. This treatment will help break-up any existent scar tissue in your tendon, not to mention your leg and foot as well. It’s a great way to feel better in a hurry!

Chiropractic treatment can also help your stiff joints (especially in your ankles and feet), areas that typically go along with Achilles tendon injuries. It’s a one-two punch combination for the treatment of Achilles pain. Contact Scorca Chiropractic to learn more about how our treatments can help you!

For many of us, we might be looking for healthier options for our holiday fare. Whether you’re hosting the party or just bringing a side of some sort to a soiree that has already been organized, it’s a great idea to stand out by crafting dishes made with clean, whole ingredients.

Below, Scorca Chiropractic goes over a few creative dishes you can bring to the party that will be both exciting and good for those who partake.

1.) Sweet Kale, Cranberry, and Sunflower Seed Salad

Make a nice, healthy salad and throw in some crunch — almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds, for instance. Sweeten the deal with some of nature’s candy — dried cranberries are a great option, and dried green grapes work, too.

2.) Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a healthier option than plain white bulk potatoes. You can make this dish in the pressure cooker and add pumpkin seeds, even some brown sugar, and grass-fed butter to add some serious flavor while also still using simple, natural ingredients.

3.) Skillet Honey and Pomegranate Chicken Thighs

This is a really simple dish to make — all you need are the titular ingredients as well as a cast-iron skillet. Here’s a great resource to get you started.

Chiropractic treatments are another great way to remain healthy in the midst of the holiday season. Contact Scorca Chiropractic today to learn more about who we are and what we do.

Hip pain can come about due to a number of variables, including too much exercise, sitting in an improper position for long periods of time, even an automobile accident.

Arthritis and Hip Pain

Arthritis is probably the most common cause of chronic, long-term hip pain, an age-related condition that wears down the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint. Osteoarthritis is a common condition where this situation occurs.

Traumatic arthritis can occur when there is trauma to the joint, like a fracture, for instance. Infectious arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can also cause hip pain due to attacking associated cartilage and even bone.

Hip Fractures

If you experience very sudden, severe hip pain, this could be the result of a hip fracture, in which case you would want to consult with a physician immediately.

Snapping hip syndrome, avascular necrosis, and osteonecrosis can also be the source of hip pain.

Chiropractic for Hip Pain

Chiropractic treatments have been shown to be beneficial to the back, neck, and spine, but also to your joints, including your hips. Chiropractic treatments have also been shown to provide drug-free pain relief, not to mention reduce or diminish arthritic symptoms.
