Chiropractor San Diego

Adult Male 35yo Bed-wetting stopped after 1 visit, 6 yo bed wetting stop after 2nd visits, 17 year old, bed-wetting resolved after second visit, bed-wetting can be a thing of the past, with a couple of chiropractic visits.

Bed-wetting is usually associated with childhood, and usually resolves itself as a child "grows out of it." which should happen by the time they are about 5 years old. Girls are less likely to suffer from prolonged bed-wetting.

But bed-wetting in old children and adults is more common than is realized, it of course has a lot of embarrassment attached to the ailment, and therefore older children and adults tend to hide the fact that bed-weeting is still happening.

It’s a little know fact, that bed-wetting can often be resolved in a couple of visits to the chiropractor. The cause of bed-wetting that often steems from vertebral subluxations (nerve interferences) when this pinched nerve is corrected, the bed-wetting suddenly disappears.

Bed-wetting that has a psychological aspect, or bed-wetting that starts in the later part of life may not be resolved by chiropractic, but it would be worth consulting a chiropractic to confirm the bed-wetting isn’t cause by a nerve sending the wrong message to the muscles of the bladder, or short circuiting. Also some bed-wetting that may seem to have a psychological aspect especially if was related to an accident could very well be fixed, in just a couple of visits.

During research for this article I heard of a teenage girl started wetting the bed after a horse riding accident. The horse stumbled and fell breaking its leg, throwing the rider.

Although the fall didn’t even warrant a trip to the doctor for the teenager, the bed-wetting was attributed to the fact that the horse had to be "put down". understandable the girl was extremely upset when her horse was shot.

Several months later, the girl happened upon an article on the internet that was about late onset bed-wetting being related to a back injury and pinching nerves. One tentative visit to a chiropractor the bed-wetting was drastically helped, and after the second visit the bed-wetting and as an added bonus headaches that had started several days after the fall.

If someone starts wetting the bed, after they have stopped as a child, or when a child doesn’t stop wetting the bed, if no physical reason is found, would do well to have an examination and adjustment by a chiropractor, it certainly wouldn’t make the problem worse and could help with many other problems.

Bed wetting or any other ailment that can be traced back to starting "After" some sort of accident, or physical trauma even something like slipping on a wet step or on ice will probably be quickly fixed with a couple of visits to the chiropractor.

Why Choose Chiropractic in Addition to My Medical Doctor?

Car Accidents Injuries

Standard routines in hospitals are to check vital signs, make sure there are no life-threatening conditions and release the patient with pain relief medication. They normally do not treat the underlying biomechanical injuries that can lead to future pain because these types of injuries do not typically show up on an x-ray. If your medical doctor has given you pain killers for your auto injury, you must understand that this does not correct the underlying musculoskeletal or soft tissue damage.

Pregnancy can be one of the most difficult times in a woman’s life, both emotionally and physically. The body goes through a multitude of changes during pregnancy that are extremely taxing on the female body.

Among many things, pregnant women will experience widening of the pelvic bowl to allow the baby to pass, and increased stress and pressure on the low back due to postural changes. If the bones in the pelvis are misaligned or restricted then this can reduce the amount of room in the pelvic bowl for the baby and also reduce the ability of pelvic widening which can put unnecessary and unwanted stresses on both mom and baby. Chiropractic has been shown to be very beneficial in soothing mom’s ever-changing aches and pains, and also to aid in a quicker and easier delivery.

SASTM

Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (SASTM) is an extremely effective way to treat soft tissue injuries, be it acute or chronic.  Soft tissue injuries are injuries that involve muscle, tendons, ligaments, or connective tissue.  Some examples would be tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, plantar fascitis, sprains/strains, pulled muscles, and so on.  SASTM works to effectively break down excessive scar tissue allowing the tissue to regain flexibility and blood flow.  This leads to overall healthier tissue.  SASTM works so well that many professional sports franchises have incorporated it into the care for their injured athletes.

Sports Injuries Pain Relief

 For those of us who play sports and are active, injuries are an unwanted but all too common part of the game. Many times they are unavoidable and hopefully just minor. Even seemingly minor injuries can weaken overall joint stability or weaken overall muscle function. This can leave you more susceptible to re-injury. Now a days, we know that previous injuries have a way of catching up with us somewhere down the road, especially if left untreated.

MUSCLE ACHES AND PAINS

Soft tissue (stretching & massage) work can keep the muscles flexible and strong, and reduce the effects of muscle aches and pains. Most pregnant women are more susceptible to muscular aches and pains while pregnant, and even commonly experience the dreaded leg cramp. Chiropractors can aid muscle aches and pains providing much needed relief and most likely a great nights’ sleep!

The above changes can be a terrible nuisance, making a woman’s journey to becoming a mother a challenging one. The increased muscle strains and back pain of pregnancy are very real and can be more than just a disruption in your daily schedule. The prenatal weight gain, combined with increased stress placed on the body by the baby, can lead to severe discomfort.

Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential ingredient to your prenatal care choices.
Receiving chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy can relieve and even prevent these common discomforts experienced during pregnancy.

Whiplash Treatment San Diego

Every car accident is different based on many factors, types of vehicles involved, driver position, head rest position, and so on. This is why it is so important at this crucial time to choose a doctor with the most knowledge and expertise in treating people who have been injured in a car accident. Dr Mairs has received a significant amount of additional training in the area of auto accident diagnosis, care, case management, as well as the medical-legal aspect that may develop later on.

Injuries as a result of an auto accident have the potential to affect almost all of us, seeing as how the majority of Americans either are drivers or passengers in cars on a daily basis. …..

It is very common, especially with low speed collisions, for there to be no pain immediately after the accident. Often it takes several days or longer for any pain to appear.

It is routine for auto accident patients to begin care weeks or months after the accident, despite what your insurance company may lead you to believe.

Whiplash can cause impingement, stretching, or irritation of the nerves and the spinal cord. Whiplash can also cause headaches, numbness, pins and needles in the face, chest, arms or hands, anxiety, neck pain, back pain, ringing in the ears, dizziness, hearing loss and/or blurred vision, or a general unwell feeling. A  whiplash injury to the neck, or cervical sprain/strain, is by far the most common injury that results from a car accident.

Pre-Natal Exercise San Diego

Exercise can be very beneficial for pregnant mothers.  It can help keep your muscles healthy and more flexible.  Many gyms and yoga studios have classes specifically for pregnant women.  Make sure you do your homework though, even if you are an experienced gym rat, because know that you are pregnant the game has changed.  Exercises that you may have been doing before may no longer be safe to perform now that you are pregnant.

Carpal Tunnel Treatment Cold Laser

The ML830 Cold Laser was cleared by the FDA in 2002 for the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).  Cold laser therapy is completely painless, is a fast type of therapy, has plenty of scientific research specifically with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and has saved many people from having surgery.  The ML830 is the only Laser on the market that I am aware of that is FDA cleared specifically for carpal tunnel treatment.

Carpal Tunnel is currently the #1 repetitive strain injury in the U.S., affecting over 1 million Americans every year, and is also the leading cause of worker lost time and disability.

As a Chiropractor in San Diego who specializes in extremity and soft tissue injuries, I would just like to personally attest to the ML830 Cold Laser for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.  I purchased an ML830 cold laser for my practice several months ago, and treat all my CTS patients with this therapy.  I was very successful in CTS treatment prior to getting the cold laser, but it was a much longer and more uncomfortable treatment process.  With cold laser therapy I am seeing much shorter treatment times and it is much more comfortable for my patients.
 
Cold laser therapy has been extremely successful with both my pre & post operation patients.  The majority of the time people will experience immediate pain relief after just the first treatment.  Another great thing about cold laser treatment is that the majority of health insurance companies will cover this form of treatment.  I am constantly amazed at how effective the cold laser therapy is for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

He’s so much more than a chiropractor, even calling him a chiropractor is like a depreciation or devaluing his skills, he combines chiropractic techniques with, physiotherapy, deep tissue massage, cold laser treatments, and other goodies, to many to mention, and he is always researching and looking for ways to improve his knowledge and ability to help people.

He has a great sense of humor, respects his patient’s opinions, and most important of all, he gives his time to his patients, often my appointments take 30-60 minutes, and that’s ok, that’s so unusual for any doctor, usually they want to get people in and out the door as quickly as possible. He’s truly one of a kind.

CAR ACCIDENT FACTS & MYTHS

MYTH: If there is no damage to the vehicle, then there can be no injury, and therefore insurance companies will not cover any type of treatment.

This is completely false. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that injuries can occur without there being any damage to the vehicle. The insurance companies know this, but they bank on the fact that you do not. In fact, low speed collisions with little or no damage to the vehicles make up a significant portion of the cases handled and paid out by auto insurance companies.

MYTH: If you do not have pain immediately following the accident, or if it’s a week or two after the accident before you start having pain, then you can’t receive treatment for it, or have any treatment included in the insurance claim.

This is completely false. It is common for auto accident patients to not start developing any pain until weeks or months after the accident, and again there is plenty of scientific evidence that supports this.  It is routine for people to begin care weeks or months after the accident, despite what your insurance company may lead you to believe.

MYTH: You cannot possibly have a low back injury from an auto accident because your low back is completely protected by the car seat.

Again, this is false.  Insurance companies like to claim that your low back cannot possibly be injured because it’s protected by your seat.  There is plenty of scientific evidence showing that your low back can be injured in an auto accident.  Insurance companies regularly pay for treatment of low back injuries.

If you’ve noticed a pattern here, that’s because there is one.  Insurance companies will say anything to convince you that they don’t owe you money.  Anyone who has ever had to deal with an auto insurance company after an accident can attest to this.  In fact, this reason alone is why many people hire a personal injury attorney, strictly to deal with the insurance company.

FACTS:
•    There are approximately 3 million whiplash injuries sustained in the U.S. every year.
•    A properly adjusted head restraint is the single most important way to prevent whiplash injuries.
•    Only 25% of people have their head restraint positioned properly.
•    45% of people with chronic neck pain attribute their pain to a prior car accident.
•    Total annual economic cost for all motor vehicle crashes is $164 Billion.
•    Total annual comprehensive costs are $346 Billion.
•    Use of shoulder and lap belts reduce the risk of fatality by 45%.
•    Use of shoulder and lap belts reduce the risk of moderate-critical injuries by 50%.
•    Use of shoulder and lap belts has significantly increased the number of minor-moderate cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and abdominal injuries.
•    Risk of injury is significantly greater in rear end collisions versus all other types of accidents.
