AMA Alternative Health Care
According to an article released by the American Medical Association on November 13, 2000, "a growing number of medical schools, teaching hospitals and physicians are opening clinics that combine conventional medicine and evidence-based alternative medicine." Chiropractic is one of five alternatives that are listed as "the most researched forms of complementary" medicines used in the clinics.


Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Do you spend long hours at a computer terminal, work on an assembly line, use your hands or wrists repetitively, or maybe play a musical instrument for hours a day? If you perform the same movement day after day, you may be setting yourself up for repetitive motion injury.


Fender Benders Can Be Dangerous to Your Health!
In years past, people used to have inexpensive fender benders, but not anymore. Even a minor accident can cost a thousand dollars to restore the car to its original condition.

The greatest injury, though, is not to the automobile or truck, but to the vehicle's occupants. That has not changed. We hear survivors of accidents talk about walking away from an accident while their vehicle was totally demolished.


Auto Accident Back Pain Years Later
With current legislation mandating the use of seat belts, an increased number of neck and back injuries have been reported when seat belts are used. While these injuries may be less significant than in unrestricted accidents, health care providers must address these potentially lifelong problems and not dismiss them as merely "Whiplash". Many cases of tension headache and Cervical Migraine may be the result of a neck injury that may have been forgotten or simply dismissed as trivial by the patient-according to a study published in Spine. In the article, Dr. MacNab reviewed 266 cases and found at least 45% continued to have symptoms 2 years following the settlement of court actions. Most people that are involved in "minor" rear-end collisions do not realize the potential for injury to the spine. If pain does not immediately ensue, the incident may be forgotten.
