			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The shoulders are designed to carry the arms with little support. There are ligaments, tendons and muscles holding the area in a ball and socket fashion. Unlike the hips and femurs, the shoulder is easier moved in all ranges of motion. This puts great physical stress on the joint which can cause shoulder issues.</p>
<p>The muscles which hold the shoulder are fairly small and stretched in comparison to other joints, therefore they can be more susceptible to dislocating and causing pain. This is the reason the shoulder is one of the most oft injured areas.</p>
<p>Delve deeper into shoulder pain and patients may not even remember the trauma which caused the pain. It could be a very specific trauma such as a car accident or sports injury. Sometimes it is bad ergonomics or repetitive microtrauma.</p>
<p>A chiropractor can examine and look for signs in mobility of the shoulder region to find the problem. Although the arms are used so many times per day, the shoulder can stiffen or cause problems with just a slight trauma. A common problem is the rotator cuff, as this can cause increased pain and needs to be appropriately addressed.</p>
<p>As the shoulders are in close relation to the cervical area, which in turn is part of the spine, shoulder pain may be a secondary problem of spinal misalignment. Using one of our chiropractic evaluations, we can assess, adjust and maintain a common balance for your health. If the bones or alignment is out of alignment, then this can have a poor effect which can cause neck and shoulder symptoms. Headaches are also seen with patients who are misaligned.</p>
<p>Many medical doctors and physicians refer patients towards medications or surgery. Unless there is a tear, this invasive practice or putting medications into your body can further upset the balance. There are so many risks with surgery, which occasionally have problems and medication only masks the pain. Chiropractors use knowledge and specific techniques to find the primary cause of the problem and create a thorough plan to help the body heal.</p>
<p>At The Spinal Correction &amp; Wellness Center, we have properly trained massage therapists and chiropractors who can help not only with the pain but create healing for the body. Correct spinal alignment can control numerous problems ranging from joint pain, muscular pain and internal functional issues. Our patients are advised on correct nutritional needs and are given a roadmap to wellness.</p>
<p>Shoulder pain is often overlooked and not treated. If left for extended periods of time, muscle or ligaments can tear and cause even bigger problems. Using medication to hide the pain, is only effective for a few hours before the next pill is needed. A chiropractor can assess the problem, help correct the alignment of a patient and massage the region back in to good health. Shoulder pain is sometimes a secondary effect of a different problem. It could turn out the neck or vertebrae are at fault but the symptom is felt more in the shoulder itself. It is important to find out what problem has been done and use a chiropractor to help fix it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A complete detailed explanation of the history and theory of how Chiropractic and Chiropractor techniques has evolved. Dr Martin is a Chiropractor in St Charles, Illinois, and has a clinic there.</p>
<p>Chiropractic was founded in the 1890&#8217;s by Daniel David Palmer. Since this period Chiropractic has been established as a cornerstone in alternative medicine. Daniel David Palmer thinks that every health care profession is relevant and that each can be helpful in its own way. His philosophy is that the treatment of each patient should be based on each persons case, and whichever treatment works best for that patient, is the treatment that should be given regardless of the modality or profession. There are many different philosophies and beliefs of conventional and alternative medicine. I believe that the best health care is a multidisciplinary approach.</p>
<p>However, I have strong beliefs in the Chiropractic adjustment. It is a documented fact that the spinal cord is attached to the brain and makes its way through the vertebral column. From the brain the nerve fibers run through the spinal cord and out the vertebral column as peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves are attached to all the muscles in the body. The brain will send out signals pertaining to movement and balance to the muscles, and the muscles send information about their orientation in space and the tension of the muscle. Exposing Trauma to the body and everyday movment causes the musculature to compensate. This causes some muscles to activate and become tight and other muscles to be inhibited and loosen. The bones in our body act as a place of attachment sites for muscles. When an injury happens, the muscles &#8220;guard&#8221; themselves against the injury by tightening. When tightening of the musculature occurs, this can place tension on the bones that are attached and cause pain and discomfort.</p>
<p>The basic belief system and philosophy of the adjustment for the patient, is that misalignments in the spinal column affects the ability to let the body function properly. Adjusting these segments back into their natural alignment will help the body function at its optimal level. It is theorized that this happens through feedback that the muscles will send back and forth to and from the brain. A Chiropractic adjustment will increase the tension that is felt by the muscle tendons in question. Manipulation will cause the receptors to send out a signal to the brain telling the brain that maximal tension has been achieved. The brain then sends a reflexive response to the tendon telling it to relax, there by resetting the muscle length and reducing the spasm in that particular muscle.</p>
<p>In my personal opinion there is no Chiropractic technique that is the best. Again, I believe the technique that should be administered should be based on the patients response to the treatment. The Chiropractic techniques that I can effectively use are the Deerfield technique, States thechnique, Thompson drop and Diversified. Although manipulation is a very important tool in the treatment of patients, I do not believe that it is the end-all be-all of treatments. There are many other treatment modalities that can help a patient to effectively recover from an injury. These treatment modalities include soft tissue massage, interferential therapy, ultrasound, light therapy, flexion distraction, exercises, stretches, vitamin supplementation and proper nutrition. The most effective and efficient treatment incorporates the appropriate combination of these modalities.</p>
