Workers Compensation

Workers compensation issues are very common. According to the Occupation Health and Safety Administration, close to four million people are injured on the job each year. Injuries on the job can range from minor to severe and may not only affect your ability to work, but also your overall quality of life.

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we are experienced at working with patients who have workers compensation issues. Injuries on the job can vary greatly, but common injuries often involve the back and neck. Whether you have already tried convention treatment or not, chiropractic care can be an excellent alternative in order to treat your condition.

We believe in treating the underlying condition, not just masking symptoms temporarily. Chiropractic care can treat the cause of your condition and help your body heal itself. In addition, chiropractic care can treat injuries without the use of pain medication, which can have many unwanted side effects.

Getting injured on the job can be difficult to deal with and leave you feeling overwhelmed. If you have had an injury at work, consider getting an initial chiropractic evaluation to determine available options.

For more information on treating injuries on the job or in order to schedule an appointment, please call Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center at 757-873-4131 or you can feel free to visit us on our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com.

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.

For more information on cryotherapy or any of our other services, please call Therapeutic Solutions LLC at 757-873-4131 or visit us on our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com.

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.
