Chiropractic works by removing these subluxations in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body back to a state of normal function. Numerous studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sports injuries and many other types of musculoskeletal problems. It has even been shown to be effective in reducing high blood pressure, decreasing the frequency of childhood ear infections, and improving the symptoms of asthma. More and more scientific research is demonstrating the tremendous detrimental impact that subluxation have on the tissue of the body. In order to be truly healthy, it is vital that your nervous system be functioning free of interference from subluxations. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained in the detection, location, and correction of the vertebral subluxation complex through chiropractic care. The chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebra for the purpose of correcting its position, movement or both. Adjustments are often accompanied by an audible release of gas that sounds like a 'crack.' The sound sometimes shocks people a little bit the first couple times they get adjusted, but the sensation is usually relieving. Occasionally, minor discomfort is experienced, especially if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the chiropractic procedure. There are times when the audible 'cracking' does not occur. This is often due to either significant muscle tightness or that the patient may be having a hard time relaxing during their adjustments. In this section, you will find articles on chiropractic's history, how wellness and medical care differ, and what exactly is an "adjustment" is and how it's used in an chiropractor's office. History Category: About Chiropractic Care, What is Chiropractic Manual manipulation of the spine and other joints in the body have been around for a long time. Ancient writings from China and Greece dating between 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain. In fact, Hippocrates, the famous Read more What's An Adjustment? Category: About Chiropractic Care, What is Chiropractic The primary focus of chiropractic is simply to adjust the spine and remove those things which interfere with the body's natural normal healing ability. Spinal adjustments to correct subluxations are what make chiropractic professionals unique in comparison with any other type of health care professional. Read more Wellness vs. Medical Care Category: About Chiropractic Care, What is Chiropractic What's the main difference between wellness care and standard medical care?

At Bay Chiropractic & Rehabilitation in Santa Monica, CA, we provide various treatments, such as massage therapy, to relieve your pain and help you feel your best. Here are some frequently asked questions about massage therapy: What Is Massage Therapy? Massage therapy is a therapeutic practice that involves manipulating the muscles and soft tissues of the body to improve overall health and well-being. It encompasses various techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage, each targeting different issues from relaxation to pain relief. The pressure that is applied helps reduce tension, enhance circulation, and improve flexibility. What Conditions Can Massage Therapy Help With? Massage therapy can address a wide range of conditions. It's effective for relieving muscle tension and pain, which makes it beneficial for those suffering from chronic pain conditions like back pain or neck pain. Additionally, it helps lower stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality. People recovering from injuries or surgeries often find massage therapy accelerates their healing process by enhancing circulation and reducing scar tissue. Is Massage Therapy Safe for Everyone? In general, massage therapy is safe for most people. However, there are certain situations where caution should be exercised. Individuals with certain medical conditions such as severe osteoporosis, deep vein thrombosis, or infectious skin diseases should consult with their healthcare provider before trying massage therapy. What Can I Expect During a Massage Therapy Session? During a massage session, you will typically lie on a comfortable massage table in a peaceful environment. Our chiropractors will discuss your concerns and health history beforehand to customize the session to your needs. We may incorporate techniques like kneading, tapping, stretching, or applying pressure to certain points. Communication with our chiropractors is key to ensure the pressure and techniques are comfortable and effective for you. How Often Should I Get Massage Therapy? The frequency of massage therapy sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. For general relaxation and stress relief, a monthly session may be sufficient. Those seeking relief from chronic pain or recovering from injuries may benefit from more frequent sessions initially, gradually tapering off as symptoms improve. We can provide recommendations based on your specific condition and response to treatment. Contact Us for an Appointment Today!

When performed, spinal decompression therapy has a high success rate when it comes to alleviating pain, reducing numbness or other symptoms, and improving reduced mobility associated with spinal compression. Spinal decompression can even help some patients avoid back surgery. What to Expect During Your Appointment Spinal decompression involves stretching the spine to reduce pressure. The spine consists of several bones, known as vertebrae, which allow the back to twist, bend, and move in nearly every direction. Nerves originating in the spinal cord in the center of the spine protrude through small holes in the vertebrae and branch out to the rest of the body. Dr. Nepomnaschy will apply rubbery discs between each of the vertebrae to prevent the bones of the spine from grinding together during body movement. Time causes wear and tear to the tough outer coating of the discs, which can eventually get brittle and crack. The disc can herniate, or push outside its normal location to press against nerves and cause pain. Pressure from the vertebrae can also cause the discs to rupture. The gel-like interior of the disc can seep out and press against the nerves to cause pain. Spinal Decompression Process Spinal decompression therapy involves lying fully clothed on a special motorized table. The lower half of the motorized table can move. The chiropractor places a harness around the patient’s hips and attaches it to the lower table near the patient’s feet. The upper part of the table stays in a fixed position while the lower part slides back and forth to provide intermittent traction to the harness and relaxation. The patient should not feel any pain during the treatment, but they should feel a stretching of their spine. Decompression therapy often involves several treatments, which can last 30 to 45 minutes each, over a 4 to 6 week period. The Benefits of Spinal Decompression Spinal decompression is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment for chronic low back pain, acute low back pain, neck pain, shooting arm pain, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, and herniated discs. Spinal decompression can also help treat sciatica, a condition in which pressure on the sciatic nerve causes pain and numbness that travels down one leg. Spinal decompression may be the right treatment to treat your neck, back, arm, or leg pain.

Because many people spend almost half of all of their waking hours sitting at a desk, it is important that your chair, desk and other equipment help your body maintain good posture and alignment. A healthy work station involves being aware of your seating, keyboard and mouse, computer monitor position and glare, telephone position, feet position, lighting and proper positioning of your work. It is critical to evaluate the proper set up of your work environment because it is often the cause of most repetitive stress injuries. Things like improper chair position, cradling the phone between your ear and shoulder, or straining your neck to look at your computer monitor is not a big deal every once in a while, but when you do the same repetitive motions for several hours a day, several days a week, several weeks a month and so on, you will find that your body eventually has to give and in many cases will suffer pain, discomfort, poor posture and spinal disc damage. Unfortunately, most people don't correlate these problems to their day-to-day activity because they think it has to be caused by a specific traumatic event. That's just not the case. Check out these articles on what you need to know about proper set up of your work environment. Desk Chair Category: Health & Wellness, Wellness Essentials, At Work The basics of a healthy ergonomic workstation include a bio-mechanically correct chair to sit in.

Sounds ideal, but just how does it work? We look at the whole picture Like other health-care providers, we follow a standard routine to gain information about the patient. We consult, review the case history, conduct a physical examination, and we may request laboratory analyses and/or x-rays. Unlike other health-care providers, however, chiropractic physicians also conduct a careful analysis of the patient's structure and pay particular attention to the spine. We also ask you about your life- Do you eat well? Exercise at all? How do you deal with stress? Do you have children? What do you do for work? And so on. We seek the origin of the problem Using this information, a diagnosis is made. Included in the diagnosis is the probable reason for your pain or discomfort. It is important to note that chiropractors seek the origin of the illness in order to eliminate it-we do not simply treat the symptoms.  If your roof is leaking, do you simply catch the drips in a bucket for years on end, or do you repair the roof to prevent it from leaking? Similarly, if the migraine headache you've had all week is being caused by misaligned vertebra and an irritated nerve, do you continue to take pain killers indefinitely, or do you realign the vertebra to prevent the pain? You get the picture. We fix the origin of the problem Chiropractors have a term for misalignments: subluxations. A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the bones that protect the spinal cord. It's a leak in the roof. Or a kink in the wiring of your nervous system.  The severity of the subluxation can vary, and there are a number of potential contributing factors that can be physical, emotional, mental, or chemical. The subluxation can be caused by any number of incidents, from birth trauma to an auto accident to simple repetition or over-use. In this section, you will find articles on the mechanics of chiropractic care, its effects, and misconceptions.  Myths & Facts Category: About Chiropractic Care, How Does it Work Myth #1 - Chiropractors are not real doctors.
