Chiropractic Treatment for Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms are joint pain and stiffness, which is why the condition may benefit from chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic is primarily used as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments and tendons. However, because in some conditions and circumstances, chiropractic techniques can actually worsen the symptoms of arthritis, Dr. Christopher Brill will need to perform a thorough examination before suggesting proper treatment.

The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. There are several different types of arthritis and treatment will vary on the type that is diagnosed. Depending on the kind of arthritis you have, your signs and symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, and decreased range of motion. Specific chiropractic adjustments can take stress off your nervous system, allowing your body to rest relax and heal.

Migraines and Chiropractic Treatment

Migraine is a type of headache that is often localized in a certain area of the head and is sometimes accompanied by a pronounced sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last up to 4-72 hours if untreated and additional symptoms include nausea and/or vomiting. People with migraines tend to have recurring attacks triggered by a number of different factors, including stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, bright or flashing lights, lack of food or sleep, and dietary substances. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill knows how tension in the spine relates to problems in other parts of the body, and can help you take steps to relieve those problems.

Research shows that spinal manipulation – the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic – may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Dr. Christopher Brill may perform a spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system. He may also provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins.

If you suffer from migraines, don’t suffer any longer and schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options. For more information visit our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com or feel free to contact Dr. Brill & staff at 757-873-4131.

The Causes and Treatments of Rib and Chest Pain

Did you know that rib and chest pain can be relieved by chiropractic care? Dr. Christopher Brill of Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA wants his future patients to understand what type of conditions cause rib and chest pain, and how chiropractic care could can help.

Just as misalignments can happen to the spine, they can also happen at the front of the body where the ribs meet the sternum. Misalignments cause stress and pressure on the joints and the surrounding area. They put pressure on the nerves surrounding the area, which can cause pain directly to the area but also can affect function of many of the body’s systems. Another condition that can cause rib and chest pain is a Costo-Transverse Sprain, inflammation of the rib cartilage. Pain and difficulty breathing deeply are symptoms that affect those with this condition. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is another condition that may be causing pain in the ribs. This condition, however, also includes pain and loss of feeling in the shoulders, arms, and hands. This is a condition where the first rib sits higher than its corresponding vertebra, pressing down on nerves and blood vessels.

Through spinal and joint adjustments, customized stretches and exercises, and possibly massage, these conditions can be controlled. Manipulating the areas of the body that are causing unnatural pressure releases that pressure and allows the body to perform as it should, plus it will relieve pain and irritation.
