Cryotherapy

If you have ever suffered from muscle spasms, you know how uncomfortable they can be. While medications may sometimes relieve pain, they may have unwanted side effects. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we are happy to offer our patients cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy works by applying cold compresses to the skin. Cryotherapy can be used to treat muscle spasms. In addition, it can also be an effective treatment for sprains, strains and soft tissue injuries. Several things happen in the body with the application of cold compresses or ice. The blood vessels constrict, and the skin temperature drops. Painful areas are also numbed. Cryotherapy can also help reduce swelling and inflammation, which in turn promotes healing.

A few benefits to using cryotherapy to reduce muscle spasms and pain include:

Cost: Cryotherapy is inexpensive, especially compared to other types of treatment for pain, such as medication and injections.

Few if any side effects: The skin can become red from the cold, but cryotherapy usually has very low rates of side effects.

Convenient: Cryotherapy can also be used at home to reduce discomfort and muscle spasms.

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we believe in providing chiropractic care and services, which can improve your health and overall wellbeing. We specialize in treating a variety of problems including back and neck pain, headaches, disc problems and other causes of chronic pain.

Yours in Good Health,

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition that is experienced by our patients, though there are many different areas of the hip that are causing the pain. Some causes of hip pain we see include arthritis, bursitis, fractures of the hip, tendon strain and muscle strain. Dr. Christopher Brill here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC provides chiropractic care to help relieve the pain and prevent further damage to the hip joint. In many situations, the hip pain is a result of the body being out of alignment.

The symptoms of hip pain not only include pain and stiffness in the hip, but also in the following areas of the body:

• Thigh


• Groin


• Buttocks


• Inside the hip joint


• Outside the hip joint

Chiropractic care helps our patients with hip pain through adjustments and manipulations, massage and preventative care. We locate the cause of the pain and use that to determine the best available treatment. We assess each case individually and work to prevent further pain episodes as much as possible. If you are experiencing hip pain and looking for a solution, call our Newport News office at 757-873-4131 for a free consultation or send us an email at drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com.

Migraines

For many, migraines feel worse than a severe headache. As our patients know, migraines cause debilitating pain, usually in the form of a pulsating or throbbing sensation on one side or both sides of the head. Many sufferers also deal with sensitivity to light and sound, nausea and vomiting.

Patients may experience an aura shortly before the migraine as a warning sign, which includes flashes of light and tingling in the arms or legs, but not always.

Aside from taking medications for migraines, there aren’t many ways to prevent them. However, here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC, we provide chiropractic care that helps patients reduce the frequency and severity of their migraines. Some of our patients even report they hardly get them at all when they get regular treatments from Dr. Christopher Brill.

Chiropractic treatments that are effective at relieving migraines and preventing them include massage therapy, biofeedback and adjustments, which help balance the nervous system and provide overall health, which offers a lower frequency of migraines.

Contact our chiropractic office at 757-873-4131,e-mail drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com  or visit us in Newport News, VA for information about migraine treatments. Ask us about our same day appointments too!

Neck Pain

Here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we believe in healing the body, not just one ailment. But many times patients see us for localized pain and discomfort, such as neck pain, and it is our first priority to treat that condition first. By treating this area, the rest of the body also starts healing thanks to better balance and harmony. Unfortunately, neck pain is a common complaint with our patients, as it can result from injuries or repetitive motions and strain.

The following causes can lead to neck pain, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine:

• ·         Bad posture


• ·         Bending over for long periods of time


• ·         Whiplash and vehicle accidents


• ·         Sleeping in the wrong position


• ·         Turning or twisting


• ·         Sprains


• ·         Medical conditions


• ·         Infection or cancer of the spine

Pain medications only relieve the pain and discomfort for a short period of time, and it typically returns in a few hours. With chiropractic care provided by Dr. Christopher Brill, patients are addressing the cause of their neck pain, not just covering up the discomfort. This provides them with a long-term solution toward balancing their spine’s vertebrae and improving the pain continuously. Be sure to give us a call at 757-873-4131, e-mail drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com or visit our chiropractic office in Newport News, VA to learn more about neck pain treatments.

Low Back Pain

Here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC, we provide chiropractic care for a variety of conditions, including low back pain. This is common among all patients, but is particularly prominent in adults. Lower back pain increases with age due to degenerative changes in the spine and vertebrae. Low back pain may also be caused by poor posture, injuries, excessive physical activity, injury to the disks of the spine, or various other medical conditions.

Low back pain may be mild or severe and be associated with worsened pain while lifting or bending, pain that comes and goes, and in combination with sciatica pain. We like to start with diagnosing the cause of the low back pain, followed by adjustments and manipulations. This allows our chiropractor to adjust the spine to help alleviate the cause of the continued back discomfort.

Chiropractic care acts as a treatment option as well as a preventative measure. With regular weekly treatments, the body remains balanced, which helps prevent lower back injuries and keeps the spine properly aligned. Call Dr. Christopher Brill at 757-873-4131 or e-mail drbrill.therapeuticsolutions@yahoo.com to discuss treatments for low back pain.

Pregnancy and Chiropractic

Pregnancy and Chiropractic

Pregnancy is an exciting time for expectant mothers.  However, as your body goes through a number of drastic changes, you can experience significant strain and pain.  We recommend that mothers-to-be visit our office for health maintenance of the spinal column, discs, and nerves throughout the pregnancy.  Chiropractic care helps to create an ideal environment for the developing baby and relieve any pregnancy pains naturally. 

As your body adjusts to holding the weight of the baby, it puts a high demand on the spine and muscles that make up your back.  This is especially true as the pregnancy progresses.  For many women, this commonly results in back pain.  Through the chiropractic adjustments and manipulations offered at our practice, we help improve spinal alignment and provide patients with safe exercises and health tips to improve your pregnancy and relieve pain.  If you or someone you know is experiencing back pain from pregnancy and you are looking for a gentle, effective, natural means of relief without resorting to medications, arrange an appointment with us.  We look forward to helping you learn more about how you can care for your health naturally throughout your pregnancy.

Arthritis

Arthritis

Sciatica and Chiropractic Care

Sciatica

Sciatica is a frustrating, reoccurring condition for many sufferers.  It is characterized by stinging, tingling, burning and numbness of the lower extremities.  This collection of symptoms is a result of pressure placed on the sciatic nerve, one of the longest nerves in the body.  Sciatica can be triggered or aggravated by abrupt movement or extended periods of sitting or standing.

Fortunately, patients can find relief from sciatica through chiropractic care.  Spinal adjustments and manipulations, as well as other therapeutic services, can help address the source of sciatic nerve pain.  By correcting misalignment, you can relieve pressure on the nerve and restore the quality of your life.  When you visit Therapeutic Solutions LLC for chiropractic care, we provide you with resources and information to help you manage your discomfort and maintain an active lifestyle.

If you are suffering from sciatica, or you know someone who is searching for lasting relief, contact our practice and learn more about the chiropractic treatment options available to you.

Headaches

Headaches

Many of us are familiar with the inhibiting nature of headaches and migraines.  This is especially true for those that suffer on a regular basis.  Fortunately, there are ways to address the underlying cause of your pain and find lasting relief.  At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, we focus on correcting tension and misalignment in the upper back and neck, as these are the most common causes of chronic headaches and migraines.  Through chiropractic care, many patients have been able to find lasting and natural relief.

Traditional spinal adjustments and manipulations, stress relieving techniques, and other wellness therapies can all provide headache and migraine relief.  If you have been suffering from headache pain and you have not yet found a treatment that works for you, arrange an appointment at Therapeutic Solutions LLC.  We look forward to working with all of our patients to determine the underlying cause of your headaches and migraines so that you can finally find relief.

Chiropractic Care and Whiplash

Whiplash

When the body is thrown forward, the head has a tendency to snap forward and then backward again.  This commonly results in an injury known as whiplash, affecting the soft tissues of the neck.  The discomfort can even extend to surrounding muscle groups in your head, chest, shoulders and arms.  Patients may experience:

 

• Decreased range of motion


• Tightness in the neck


• Muscles feeling hard or knotted


• Tenderness


• Headaches at the base of the skull

 

Although whiplash is often a result of auto accidents, they can also develop from roller coasters, amusement park rides and sports injuries.  If you are experiencing whiplash, chiropractic care can help relieve tension and correct misalignments that encourage your overall healing process.  I invite patients who have recently been in an auto accident, or think they may be experiencing whiplash, to visit my practice for an evaluation.

History of Chiropractic Care

Although chiropractic techniques are commonly used today, they are rooted deep within our world history.   Some of the earliest writings in the history of recorded time mention using spinal manipulation to relieve lower back pain.  These techniques are mentioned in ancient Greek and Chinese writings dating as far back as 2700 B.C.  During Hippocrates life, 460 to 357 B.C., he published texts on the importance of chiropractic care in preventing disease.

The history of chiropractic care in the United States doesn’t begin until 1895, when Daniel David Palmer founded the profession by merging science and metaphysics.  Daniel David Palmer spread knowledge of chiropractic care techniques by founding the Palmer School of Chiropractic, a college that continues to be one of the most prominent chiropractic schools in the nation.  Now, doctors of chiropractic have gained legal recognition throughout the United States and are proven leaders in non-invasive healthcare.

Chiropractic care continues to grow and gain support as a cost-effective means of caring for your overall health.  I encourage patients to visit my practice and learn more about how the chiropractic techniques that can be traced throughout history can help you find lasting relief and wellness.
