Standards of Care in Chiropractic

By Leave a Comment

standard of care

Standard, defined as “a level of quality or attainment.” Synonyms for the word standard are quality, guideline, norm, and ideal. Our daily life involves many standards, or guidelines, of care including:

  • the food pyramid
  • an academic grading scale
  • recommended daily physical activity
  • ideal weight
  • adequate sleep
  • water intake
  • alcohol consumption
  • medical check-ups

Research helps to define the standards we live by today. For example, the surgeon general determined after conclusive research that smoking was bad for your health, specifically linked to lung cancer. Therefore, not smoking is a standard for optimal health just as 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is the standard. Having guidelines helps us to live as healthy as possible. In the field of chiropractic, there is also a standard of care, too.

One of the most popular myths about chiropractors is that you need to keep going once you start. Yet there is some truth to this myth because of the physicality of the adjustment. The doctor is training the body, much like we do when we exercise. Stopping the adjustments is similar to stopping exercising. We all know what happens when we stop working out. Our weight starts to creep up. We lose muscle mass. Our energy level declines. Chiropractic adjustments keeps our body in alignment so it can function as it is intended to. Without this type of care, daily life negatively impacts our body. Aches and pains return.

Ironically, despite knowing about guidelines and recommendations society tells us that we don’t always follow them. If we did, we would not have an obesity epidemic, smoking would cease, and every student would receive an A. Free will gives us the choice and all too often we choose poorly. The good news however is that we can choose differently which can reverse unhealthy trends.

Standards of care exist chiropractic, as well. This standard is one adjustment per week as it is meant to be proactive. Just like visiting your dentist every 6 months to prevent cavities. Visiting the chiropractor keeps the body functioning as it should rather than letting the daily wear and tear of life compromise it. And yes, that is exactly what life does. We go through each day incurring a series of micro-traumas from falling, playing a sport, working out, and poor posture. Yet a simple and painless adjustment once a week and significantly offset this.

The choice is ultimately ours to make. And while knowledge is power, it really only is when we do something with it.

 

A Torn Meniscus?

By Leave a Comment

Not too long ago, a patient came to us with what she thought was a torn meniscus. It was obvious that she was having a difficult time walking and was in pain. She thought it was a torn meniscus because several people suggested that it probably was based on the symptoms she was experiencing. Their first recommendation was to visit an orthopedic surgeon. She decided to not take their advice, and visit her chiropractor.

Experiencing pain of this nature, most people to jump to the conclusion that the problem is far worse than it actually is. It is also very common for those same people to spend a lot of unnecessary time and money (and worry!) pursuing a result that would be the exact same if they chose to see a chiropractor first. Yes, an orthopedic surgeon is highly credible and reputable doctor. However, the path to see this specialist is vastly different than that of a chiropractor.

Typically, the wait time to see the orthopedic is days and the cost is higher due to the nature of the profession. Additional testing to confirm the exact nature of the injury could involve x-rays and an MRI followed up by another visit a day or two later. Depending on the doctor’s availability.

For this particular patient, she made the decision to see her chiropractor first. Upon the first visit, she learned that it was not a torn meniscus but rather a tight iliotibial (IT) band. Imagine her delight when she was told that! No extended waiting, no unnecessary scans, no wasted worry, plus her visit was more cost effective, too. Her treatment involved a stretching exercise and using a foam roller. Within a week her pain was significantly diminished and she was able to sleep and walk better. Today, she is completely pain free and able to run without pain with her dog. Her quality of life is back!

Remember that people mean well when they offer their thoughts on what type of injury you have. They could be right and they could be wrong, too. Seeking care from a chiropractor first can give you peace of mind with shorter wait times, lower costs, and a quicker recovery. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not jumping to conclusions if you don’t have to.

Pain Relief

By 1 Comment

In a quest to find pain relief, many people will try just about anything. According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 100 million American suffer from chronic pain. This number is staggering as compared to cancer survivors which affects 11.9 million Americans. New products arrive on the market every day designed to provide pain relief and this industry is expected to double by 2023. Products are advertised are all forms of media, promising results. Yet, if you look at the product reviews, you will find many users that are unsatisfied and still seeking pain relief.

Sometimes the solutions we are looking for are right under our noses. However, because of misconceptions or lack of knowledge we don’t see it, especially if we are living in pain. We want the pain to stop as fast as possible, so we gravitate what appears to be known and true. Does the fact that a product is advertised in a magazine or on television make it the answer we are looking for? Is the credibility of the product higher in our minds because it has been showcased to us? Should we skip doing our own research because we take the advertisements at face value?

Our most treasured asset is our health. Without it, we have nothing. Living in pain is not something anyone wants to do, but life happens. When it does, remember that there is no “magic bullet” that will make the pain go away forever. Yes, there are medications to take to dull the pain, or temporarily relieve it, but it is still there. What we really want is to find out what is causing it and stop it. Preferably without causing any more additional pain like with surgery, right?

An often overlooked solution lies within chiropractic care. There is a lot of misconceptions that permeate our society regarding this holistic approach to good health. Rarely do you see commercials about chiropractic, let alone other advertising. Why? Because advertising cost a lot of money. Does the fact that something is not advertised make it less credible or not true? No, it doesn’t.

Invest in your health. Don’t wait for the pain to find you first. You can save a lot of money by not seeking a solution from what appears to be the most visible. Do your own research both online and on social media. Save yourself from the mistakes that come with assumptions. There are solutions to be found with a chiropractor. Solutions that are safe, holistic, and proven. But most of all, solutions that address the cause of the pain. Not just the symptom of pain.

Replacing One Bad Habit With Another

By Leave a Comment

It is not uncommon for us to substitute one vice for another, thinking we are choosing the lesser of two evils. Take smoking, for example. With the introduction of the e-cigarette in 2004, smokers who were trying to quit had a new option. This new option gives them the best of both worlds, the sensation and effects of smoking without the harmful side effects. Or do they, because there still exists a habit?

In May of 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it would begin extending its authority to include this previously unregulated market. This came about in large part due to the efforts of the American Lung Association. E-cigarettes still contain many of the cancer causing chemicals regular cigarettes do, although in smaller numbers. Carcinogens like formaldehyde and benzine. In addition, e-cigarettes give users the impression that it is safer than smoking. Let’s look at the facts:

  • Almost all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance.
  • Nicotine is harmful to the developing fetus both for the developing brain and lung functions.
  • Low birth weights and preterm births have been associated to nicotine exposure.
  • Adolescent brain development is at risk with nicotine, especially with memory and attention.
  • There are many unknown chemical in e-cigarettes, which alone is very concerning.
  • Flavoring/taste are one of the major reasons adolescents try e-cigarettes for the first time.
  • The Centers for Disease Control has reported an alarming increase in the number of e-cigarette exposure poisonings.
  • Second-hand emissions contain carcinogens formaldehyde, benzine, plus nitrosamines.
  • No one knows the long-term effects of e-cigarettes on our health.

There is no denying that smoking is bad on our health, it is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. So, does replacing smoking with e-cigarettes really a solution? Or is it merely a band-aid to cover up the addiction? Wellness is a state of mind where a bad habit is broken, not replaced by another one. A bad habit can run the gamut from smoking, to overeating, a sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol consumption, and diet sodas. Truly changing means being honest with ourselves and what we are doing to our body. The field of chiropractic care takes that honest approach to health, without depending on medications or invasive procedures to cover up the problem. A chiropractor is your wellness partners for life by helping you to eliminate those bad habits and thrive.

Challenge the Status Quo

By Leave a Comment

Hindsight is 20/20, right? You know that because you’ve heard people say, “if only I knew then what I know now.” Many times our own ignorance prevents us from considering other options to make a better decision. We are content with the status quo. In the field of chiropractic, it’s those hindsight people who find themselves seeking care from a chiropractor. These individuals realize that they initially let their preconceived ideas lead them down the wrong path of care. The price paid for this choice was a misdiagnosis, money, time, and experiencing pain longer than necessary.

The point of this post is to emphasize a basic fact of human nature. We are much more cynical than we realize. Take, for example, the presidential debates. It was obvious that no one was listening to the other. There are many “great divides” out there from:

  • political parties
  • religions
  • schools
  • countries
  • medicine

Depending on how we were raised and our life experiences, we may significantly limit ourselves by sticking with what we know rather than challenging the status quo. Imagine if the status quo was never challenged as we look back over history. The New World would never have been discovered, electricity would not have been invented, man would never have landed on the moon nor taken flight. Not accepting the status quo, or majority thinking, means dealing with people who oppose what you are doing. It means taking what is known and dispelling what was believed to be true. Imagine how much courage it took to continue on anyways.

Chiropractic is a field many consider to challenge the status quo. Modern medicine dominates our lives. While modern medicine has done incredible things, it has also completely overshadowed the benefits of other forms of health care. This dominance has created a mindset that accepts modern medicine as the status quo, questioning anything that is conflicting, like chiropractic. But just like Christopher Columbus, Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers, and Neil Armstrong, the world became a better place. Mankind’s quality of life improved. Benefits were gained that were not realized before. The field of chiropractic is the same type of scenario.

More and more people recognize the need to advocate for themselves. Doing so changes their mindset on what it means to be truly healthy. Challenge the status quo when it comes to chiropractic care and you can change your world.

Vertigo

By Leave a Comment

Remember going to the playground as a kid and jumping on one of those spinning wheels with your friends? You know the one. It was metal with handlebars  you would hold on to as you ran beside the wheel. Making the wheel spin faster and faster until you would all jump on and hold on for dear life. The world would be spinning around you until the wheel slowed to a stop. Getting off the wheel was the most amusing part because no one could walk a straight line without falling over from being dizzy. That is a temporary case of vertigo. Or the spinning one feels even though nothing is moving.

Unfortunately, vertigo is something that many people suffer from, but not from the rides on a playground. The sensation of spinning or dizziness associated with it can plague an individual for minutes, hours, or even days. Vertigo is not a medical condition but rather a symptom of an underlying problem from one of two causes:

  • A disturbance in the balance organs of the inner ear (peripheral).
  • Or, a disturbance in parts of the brain or sensory nerve pathways (central).

In both cases, there are other symptoms that can manifest themselves in addition to the spinning sensation a person might feel such as nausea, vomiting, and sweating.

What many people do not realize is that chiropractic adjustments are effective at eliminating the symptoms of vertigo. It can be an interference in the nerves of the spine or the result of a common cold. The bottom-line is that it is important to remember that treating a symptom, like vertigo, does not address the true problem. So, medications and surgery are only band-aids.

There can be an end to a person’s suffering. They no longer need to settle for a life where a symptom like vertigo is accepted. Seek the care of a chiropractor and stop the spinning once and for all.

Tinnitus (Ringing In the Ears)

By Leave a Comment

It might surprise you to learn that tinnitus, commonly known as ringing in the ears, is one of the most common health ailments in our country. Over 50 million Americans suffer from this condition, which can range from annoying to debilitating. That is 15% of the population!  Although the name implies ringing, other common sounds can be “buzzing, hissing, whistling, swooshing, and clicking,” according to the American Tinnitus Association.

There are four types of tinnitus:

  • subjective tinnitus – where only the person experiencing the sound can hear it (accounts for 99% of cases).
  • objective tinnitus – this is extremely rare where the person and others can hear the sound. This is typically caused by the internal functions of the body such as circulation or muscular-skeletal system.
  • neurological tinnitus – is usually caused by a disorder such as Meniere’s disease that affects the auditory system.
  • somatic tinnitus – is part of the nervous system that connects the limbs and organs to the brain and spinal cord.

Interestingly, when researching this condition, chiropractic care is often overlooked as a reliable and effective treatment option for those looking for relief. The truth is that pressure and irritation in the cervical spine, specifically the C1 and C2 vertebrae, are the cause of the ringing symptoms. However, the noise that one hears when suffering from tinnitus is not the problem. It is only the indicator light that something is wrong.

In addition to the ringing, sufferers also experience:

  • anxiety
  • depression
  • irritability
  • confusion
  • sleep disturbances
  • mood swings
  • poor concentration

The cervical spine is the most important area of the spine due to it’s close proximity to the brain stem. A chiropractor’s goal is not only to relieve the pressure and irritation that is creating the ringing symptom but also to determine the root cause for it. For every person the cause will be different, which means that each person’s care plan will also be different.

Quality of life is very important to us at Damron Chiropractic & Wellness. You can take control of your health by changing your path in life from “disease care” to “wellness care.” Come to DCW to thrive!

Chronic Conditions and Chiropractic Care

By Leave a Comment

There are many conditions that the general public does not associate with chiropractic care. While the reasons are varied, it essentially boils down to a lack of easily found information. For example, grab a magazine or newspaper and you will likely find it filled with ads from larger companies. If you turn on the radio or television, whose commercials do you hear? Again, sizable companies that can afford to purchase the airtime plus the production of a commercial. Even online, those who spend the most, get the most views.

Big business has deeper pockets to literally infiltrate every media outlet. In fact, studies show that the average adult is exposed to over 5,ooo messages – per day! Business is in business to make money. As a result, an advertisement or commercial needs to be convincing and compelling so you buy. But, does that mean the ad is the best option available to you?

History tells us that many products and services have come and gone as more information became available to the general public. Take cigarettes, saccharine, flame retardants, bisphenol A (BPA), and parabens (found in make-up). The public took these products at face value and believed what the advertisements stated. In addition, we even trusted that our government was protecting our best interests. The lesson learned here? That we need to actively advocate for ourselves and not let those who have the deepest pockets win our vote. As a result, we owe it to ourselves and our children to do our homework.

When it comes to our health, advocating for ourselves will reveal that what we thought we knew is actually wrong. Wrong, because we let mainstream media and big pharma tells us what was right. Chiropractic care has faced an uphill battle in proving its tremendous value in better health. Yet countless studies, testimonials, research and historical data prove that it has countless benefits. A chiropractor does far more that successfully treat those suffering from back and neck pain.

Due to this misinformation, below are several chronic conditions that many people do not realize can be treated with chiropractic care :

  • tinnitus (ringing of the ear)
  • vertigo
  • fibromyalgia
  • Meniere’s disease
  • chronic fatigue
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • multiple sclerosis
  • lupus

The next several articles will address these chronic conditions in further detail, in addition to how a chiropractor can help those who suffer from them.

Looks Can Be Deceiving With Our Health

By Leave a Comment

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Take that home project that was supposed to be simple, yet turned into your worst nightmare. It started with changing out a light fixture and then turned into so much more. A blown fuse, bad wiring, and an extra hole in the wall.

This same saying seems to be applicable to our health as well; however, with a slight twist. We make the assumption that looking and feeling good equates to good health. As a result, if there are no obvious problems, then there’s no need to fix anything. Yet, how many times do you hear about people suffering major health setbacks without having any warning signs?

This wishful mindset needs to change if we truly value a life of wellness. Because, if not, then we are constantly living on the defense, which is exhausting and puts you at a disadvantage. If you are waiting for a health problem to arise before you take action, then you are already at a disadvantage – both financially and emotionally. It’s like relying on the view from your window to predict the weather. Because you don’t see evidence of a hurricane approaching, it doesn’t mean that it’s not coming.

Good health is our most treasured asset. Consequently, protecting this asset requires a proactive approach. This approach to our health is similar to the one we take with our dentist with regularly scheduled visits to prevent cavities. Also with scheduling regular visits with a pediatrician to ensure our children are thriving. We do this to prevent or minimize a health crisis.

The questions we need to ask ourselves are:

  • Why to do we choose to avoid preventative health care when we know its benefits?
  • Why do we choose to distrust the specialization of a chiropractor if we don’t have all the facts? Shouldn’t we care enough about ourselves to learn the truth?
  • Don’t we deserve the best approach to wellness?
  • What do we have to lose by being proactive?

Limitating Beliefs, Fears & Misconceptions

By Leave a Comment

If you have never seen a chiropractor, you are not alone. A majority of the U.S. population is just like you! Yet there is a significant segment of the population who seek out chiropractic care on a regular basis. So why the gap? While the reasons might be varied, it basically boils down to 3 things:

  • Beliefs
  • Fears
  • Misconceptions

Our beliefs are instilled in us by our family.  Whether it’s our religion, political affiliation, education, or view of the world in general. It is what we were taught to believe. Growing up means we enter a phase where we begin to question things. As adults, we may choose to do things differently than our parents. Perhaps we went private schools and now reside in a great public school district so we send our kids there. Or we were raised in a Republican home but are now married to someone raised in a Democratic household. Belief systems change based on circumstances, life experiences, and knowledge learned.

Fears can drive our actions that limit our options and access to the truth. The unknown leads to fear, too, because we are afraid of what the future holds. Contentment is familiar.

Lastly, misconceptions also hold us back from the truth. We may believe the media, stereotypes, and skewed data. For example, have you ever made a snap judgement about someone and realized later that you were completely wrong? You misconceptions about that person limited your ability to see them as they really are.

Chiropractors fall under this same umbrella. Many of us jump to conclusions based on our beliefs, fears and misconceptions. How do we unchain ourselves from this limiting behavior?

Advocate for ourselves.

By advocating for ourselves we choose to learn as much as we can from reliable and trustworthy sources, rather than depending on being “spoon-fed” from the media or big business to be told what to do. We can research online for common themes, check out Google reviews, use social media to discover what others are saying and why. What you are looking for are unpaid and unsolicited information that is backed by science. With chiropractic care there is no “medicine” used to cover the symptoms, instead it is recognizing there is a cause. This is the cause that creates the symptoms a person suffers from.

Just think about where we would be if Christopher Columbus let the beliefs, fears and misconceptions of his time prevent him from setting out for the New World?

Advocate for yourself.

Amy Faris, Patient Care Coordinator

Why DCWProfessional Experience Personal Information
After moving to Ohio in 2010, I was in need of some relief from minor pain associated with working in customer service fields for 15 years. I was interested in seeking alternative forms of therapy and found a chiropractor in our small town. After going for a few visits, the therapy seemed somewhat outdated compared to what I had researched. In talking with my husband, he remembered that he knew someone who was a chiropractor. After just a few visits with Dr. Damron, I definitely noticed a difference in his techniques and style. It was nice to see results and feel like I was being listened to as a patient, not just heard…something you don’t always feel with doctors. After being a patient for several years, the opportunity came about to join the DCW team. It would be something different from what I had done in my past, however I knew my passion for working with people would translate well into helping patients receive the best care possible. I believed in the mission of DCW as a patient, and I am excited to be part of living that mission every day. 
 I am originally from St. Louis, MO. I graduated from the University of Missouri – Columbia with a degree in Secondary Education – Language Arts. I worked in restaurant/catering management for several years before starting a career in retail management and training.
In that position, I met my husband, Matt, who is from Wilmington, OH. After we got married in 2010, I moved to Wilmington. Realizing retail wasn’t where my heart was any longer, I began working as a substitute teacher in the Clinton County area. Matt and I live in Wilmington with our 6 year old German Shepard, Dale. I enjoy camping, boating, riding 4-wheelers, and spending time with family and friends. I love St. Louis Cardinals baseball and am a recently converted Cincinnati Bengals fan.
