Seattle Chiropractor, Dr Jas Walia Helps With Low and Mid Back Pain

Most people have experienced some sort of back pain in their lifetime. Many factors can be responsible for low back pain. One of the most common is irritated or pinched nerves in the low back. There are many pain-sensing nerves in the spine. They supply the facets, discs and muscles. Irritation to these nerves can cause pain in the back, down the legs, into the abdomen, or any combination thereof. Depending on which nerve fibers are pinched or irritated, you could have symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or even changes in your bowels or bladder.

There are a few different ways to help ease this pain. Surgical treatment could include removing parts of the bone or disc that is irritating the nerves. Unfortunately, when this is done, it often creates instability in the spine, alters biomechanics, and can lead to arthritis or accelerated degeneration. If you remove the disc, you no longer have the cushion between the bones that absorbs the force of daily trauma. If you fuse the spine, the surrounding areas will compensate by becoming hyper mobile and will degenerate faster. If you cut away part of the spine, you lose structural integrity. However, none of these procedures can be done without first cutting away the muscles that are in the way of the surgery.

Drugs will cover up the symptoms, but will not treat the cause. When you stop taking the drugs, the pain often returns. I have never met a patient who was suffering from a Tylenol deficiency. All drugs have side effects and many side effects can be worse than the original condition. Some drugs may mask the pain which could let a potentially dangerous condition get worse. Physical therapy is good but physical therapy alone is often not enough. Chiropractic works well with physical therapy to correct the cause as well as strengthen and stabilize the area.

Chiropractic has one of the best long term and short term patient satisfaction ratings for acute and chronic low back pain sufferers. Chiropractic has been recommended by many government research projects as one of the, if not the most effective forms of treatment and is cost effective.

Some kids are more prone to ear infections than others, and may experience them on a regular basis.

Seattle Chiropractor, Dr, Jas Walia helps with Pregnancy Back Pains

Seattle Chiropractor, Dr, Jas Walia helps with Pregnancy Back Pains.



Chiropractic care can help with pregnancy back pain because over the course of a forty week gestation, a mother's weight gain will ideally reach somewhere between 30-40 lbs. This increase in weight can create spinal misalignment and/or postural distortions which in turn affect nerves, muscles and mobility of joints. As the bulk of this weight is deposited in the abdominal area, the mother's center of gravity shifts forward. In order to compensate, the natural curves of the spine, particularly in the lumbar region, become exaggerated causing "low back pain".
The hips may also expand laterally to help stabilize the body, putting pressure on the sacro-illiac joints. The hormones of pregnancy cause muscles, ligaments, cartilage (such as the symphisis pubis), and even bones to "soften" and become more pliable. Pelvic bones "slip" and can become more easily displaced and/or fixated. In addition, certain round ligaments attach to pelvis bones and then to the uterus as it enlarges with the growth of the baby. When these ligaments are strained or torqued, as with sudden movement or "rolling over", they can cause even more discomfort for the pregnant mother.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care with Seattle Chiropractor Dr. Jas Walia:

-Correct vertebral misalignment and relieve pressure with gentle and effective adjustments.
-Help ensure that pelvic bones are properly aligned, facilitating a quicker, easier delivery.
-Re-establish the natural position and mobility of the joints.
-Provide freedom from interference of normal nerve energy which is vital for the development of a healthy baby and mother.
