Finding the Root Cause

February 3, 2016 By Pam Rezai

In the field of law there are attorneys. Just as in the field of medicine there are doctors. However, within each field there are countless specialties. In law, there are attorneys that specialize in real estate transactions, divorce, legal defense, prosecution, corporate, and tax. With medicine, there are doctors that specialize in pediatrics, cancer, surgery, heart, female reproduction, and trauma. It is good to have specialities because when there is a specific problem, we want a specific answer, not generalities. When it comes to our health, we know preventative is best. But there are inevitably times when that doesn’t happen and we get sick or injured. Sometimes when that happens there is a ripple effect. Symptoms may be alleviated, but the underlying problem may persist. The good news is that with our overall wellness, there are doctors that focus on finding the root cause of the problem and preventing future problems. One of those doctors is a Doctor of Chiropractic.

What many people don’t realize is that a Doctor of Chiropractic chooses this field of practice because he or she believes in a holistic approach to a person’s health. Each part of a person is intimately connected – mentally, physically, emotionally. What happens to one part of us affects all the others. We cannot separate things into compartments. Chiropractors also believe that prescription medications tend to mask the underlying problem and have the potential to create other problems for the person down the road, too. Chiropractors work tirelessly to resolve the root cause of the problem, whether it’s pain, discomfort, lack of mobility or flexibility, migraines, fatigue, or inflammation. If you have never been treated by a chiropractor this may sound counterintuitive to what we have been exposed to in the media and press with respect to what one might call “modern day medicine.” You needn’t look too far to find countless advertisements for prescription medications offering a solution to various health ailments. But do they always solve the true cause of your problem?

Chiropractic care is a comprehensive approach to the overall wellness of the entire individual. It seeks to understand, then provide a solution to the real problem. It finds the cause.

Removing the Blinders

January 14, 2016 By Pam Rezai

Have you ever had one of those moments where you realized you had it all wrong? Where what you thought was the truth really wasn’t? Where maybe you put some invisible blinders on yourself that prevented you from seeing things as they really are? Take someone you know who you’ve incorrectly judged. That instead of that person being egotistical or domineering, they were just the opposite. It makes us wonder how we could have been so wrong. Did we let the opinions of others to affect our own? Did we make a snap judgement without giving that person the benefit of the doubt? It makes us wonder in what other ways we have let other people’s opinions shape our own, perhaps with a particular restaurant, food, neighborhood, politician, or even our healthcare. These are times in our lives to remove the “blinders” and allow ourselves to see things with a different perspective. Who knows? It could be one of the best things we ever do!

It’s apparent that society in general has created the same set of blinders with chiropractic care. The vast number of people have never seen a chiropractor despite all the advertisements and specials. One must then wonder why they aren’t considering the countless benefits. Is it due to misconceptions or a lack of understanding of the chiropractic field. Or, like the examples above, letting others influence our decision without coming to a conclusion on our own? Removing our blinders and allowing ourselves to see things as they truly are can transform our lives. Not doing so can severely limit our potential, plus keep us in pain if we don’t allow ourselves the opportunity to get to the root of the problem with chiropractic care.

Challenge yourself to change your perspective with how your live your life. That could mean with people, interests, or how you care for yourself. Either way, you will come out ahead. You may find yourself with new friends, a new job, or a life finally without pain. Isn’t that reason enough to remove the blinders? Because in the end, chiropractic care can be your ticket to finally addressing what is holding you back from living your life to the fullest.

Weight Loss

November 19, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

Just like no two snowflakes are alike, neither are any two people. Remembering that truth is essential to any successful weight loss goal. Why? Well, because regardless of the “diet” or change in lifestyle, our physical make-up, metabolism, hormone balance, exercise level, and other variables have a direct effect on our weight. Discarding the “one size fits all” mentality when it comes to successful weight loss will help to manage expectations and alleviate frustrations on the road to better health.

In the U.S., 69% of adults are overweight or obese, yet a vast majority report that they want to lose weight. Contributing to the lack of success of weight loss is the notion of one solution for all. The reality is that what works for one person may not work for another. Fortunately, today there exists a variety of tools to help determine the ideal solution for an individual based on their own body and lifestyle. A weight loss solution can now be customized to fit you and your needs.

The tools that are now available to tailor a weight loss plan range from blood and saliva tests to urine and fecal. These tests can be found in clinics, some better health clubs, and your chiropractor’s office. By assessing the latest scientific research, the results of your lab tests, and your health history, a custom approach to a successful weight loss program can be developed. However, it’s important to note that there are a few challenges, too. The challenges involve you getting better acquainted with your unique biological and lifestyle factors and how they affect each other. The good news is that the payoff is worth the extra effort, because enjoying the results of lasting weight loss is truly priceless.

Here are the factors that affect each person’s weight loss strategy:

  • Nutrition
  • Metabolism
  • Microbiome
  • Hormones
  • Environmental Toxins
  • Genes

The next 6 blog posts will specifically address each factor, ways to determine if it potentially affects you, and how to effectively work with each to custom tailor a weight loss program that is successful.

Gluten

November 18, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

It seems to be the buzz word these days – gluten. It also seems to be in every product we purchase at the grocery store, lurking somewhere in the ingredients. When we hear the word gluten, it may have a negative connotation to us. We may know someone who suffers from celiac disease and all the food restrictions associated with it. Approximately 1 in every 141 people in the United States have celiac disease according to the National Institutes of Health; however, there is a newer condition associated with gluten intolerance – nonceliac gluten sensitivity. People who suffer from this form of sensitivity have many of the same symptoms as celiac but without the intestinal damage or loss of nutrient absorption. But what is gluten? Where is it found? And how do we know if we suffer from a sensitivity to it?

Gluten is a naturally occurring protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. The gluten serves two purposes to the plant:

  1. Nourishes the plant embryo during germination.
  2. Allows the dough to have elasticity which gives it chewiness once baked.

Gluten isn’t necessarily bad for us if we don’t suffer an intolerance to it. In fact, gluten-free diets can lack vitamins, minerals, and fiber that our body needs to thrive. For those who have celiac disease, these nutrients are not absorbed because the body reacts with an abnormal immune response that actually damages the intestines. The allergic reaction causes the microvilli to eventually atrophy and erode over time, which causes the poor nutrient absorption and leaky gut. This, in turn, creates the symptoms all too familiar with celiac and nonceliac gluten sensitivity:

  • bloating
  • constipation
  • diarrhea
  • weight loss
  • fat malabsorption
  • malnutrition: i.e. iron deficiency, anemia

When there is an actual diagnosis or a suspicion of an intolerance, doctors recommend a diet free of gluten. This includes bread, beer, french fries, pasta, salad dressing, soy sauce, gravies, certain candy, and even some soups. For a complete list you can visit the Celiac Disease Foundation at https://celiac.org/live-gluten-free/glutenfreediet/sources-of-gluten/.

A simple test can determine whether or not you have a sensitivity to gluten. Educating yourself when it comes to maintaining optimal health is key. Otherwise you needlessly suffer the consequences of the symptoms. If you suspect a food allergy of any kind, talk with your Chiropractor and get the answers you deserve.

Lowering Blood Pressure Through Adjustments

October 29, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

The more we age, the more we hear certain words:

  • cholesterol
  • blood pressure
  • weight
  • diabetes

If we age well, these words cause us no concern.  If we don’t, we go on high alert, monitoring our sugar levels, our weight, and food intake. Healthy aging really requires a team effort. While there are countless steps we can take ourselves to promote healthy aging, like eating a balanced diet and staying active, having the support of a team of healthcare professionals to keep you on the right path is helpful. Research is continuing to suggest that chiropractic adjustments have blood pressure lowering benefits. This is yet another significant advantage to adding a chiropractor to your healthcare team.

One of the keys to healthy aging is minimizing our dependence on pharmaceuticals. The reason? Pharmaceuticals simply mask the root of the problem. Granted, if we have high blood pressure and take a blood pressure lowering drug, we will lower our blood pressure. But why was our blood pressure high to begin with? What are the side effects of taking a particular pharmaceutical? How much do these side effects negatively impact our lives? If we make no other changes to our lifestyle other than taking a pill each day have we really addressed the root cause? No, we have not. It’s true that when a doctor prescribes a particular medicine, like one for lowering blood pressure, that there is also the expectation that the patient will also take other steps to improve their overall health. Steps like eating a healthy diet and exercising. However, the reality is that we have a safety net in place with the prescription medication. Even if we aren’t making the best decisions each day to encourage a healthy lifestyle, the medication will pick up the slack.

The reality is that prescription medications should be viewed as a temporary bridge between where we are and where we want to go. If we can avoid it, they should never become a permanent fixture in our lives. Rather, we should take the steps necessary to improve our lives to the point where we no longer need medications like those to lower our blood pressure. Adding a chiropractor to your healthcare team can be a pivotal step in getting you where you want to go in terms of better health. Lowering blood pressure and pulse rate through chiropractic adjustments are just one of the countless health benefits to chiropractic care.

Continue to increase your arsenal of resources to promote your healthy aging. Not only for you, but for those you love as well.

Menopause and Andropause

October 27, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

By the year 2050, one in five Americans will be older than age 50, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. While getting older is a goal we all strive towards, we experience bumps along the road as our body ages. For a woman, a major bump is menopause, which marks the end of her reproductive period. For a man, he has a similar experience with andropause. Both have the ability to cause profound changes in a person’s life with the manifestation various symptoms. However, with a proactive approach through the care of a chiropractor, the bumps along the way can be minimized so that aging can be both healthy and happy.

The decline in hormones during menopause does not happen suddenly to a woman. Over a period of 6-8 years prior to menopause, the hormones estrogen and progesterone begin to fluctuate. This fluctuation leads to profound changes to a woman’s body and life. These changes include irregular periods, mood swings, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, increased abdominal fat, and urinary problems. Additionally, after menopause, the likelihood of other health conditions increase as well, from bone loss and heart disease to memory loss and loss of libido. However, many of these symptoms can respond favorably to changes in nutrition, exercise, and dietary supplements. Interestingly, exercise is one of the most important and effective ways to prevent or improve these menopausal symptoms.

In men, the hormone testosterone begins to decline in their 50s. Just as with women, men can experience significant changes and health concerns during this period of life. Examples include loss of sexual function, weight gain, fatigue, bone loss, anemia, and declining muscle strength. Under the care of a chiropractor, a man experiencing andropause can help offset this change with exercise and dietary changes. A diet that incorporates a heart-healthy foods is the ideal such as the Mediterranean diet which is high in fruit, vegetables, whole grains and fish. There is a significant correlation between good cardiovascular health and improved sexual health.

Aligning yourself with a reputable chiropractor as your partner in healthy aging can provide you with the tools to increase the quality of your life, no matter what phase it may be.

Trust the Process

October 13, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

We fear what we do not understand. We shy away from things that tend to be different than what we are use to. We make assumptions regarding our health. We want to see to believe. We take things at face value. Chiropractic care is one of those things that rings true with all of these statements. Many of us do not understand the practice of chiropractic. If we do not understand this specialty of healthcare then we tend to naturally shy away from it. When the pain is gone, we believe our problem has been resolved, yet because we cannot see what’s happening within our body, we take it at face value. While it is understandable that we might feel this way, it is in our best interest to take off our blinders and see things in a new light. In fact, the most successful life transformation stories are because people do just that and trust the process. Let me explain.

Throughout our life, we evolve. We say we believe in certain things – like Santa and the Easter Bunny when we are kids, to love at first sight as a teenager, to happy ever after as adults. Life happens and we change. We face challenges and loss that cause a fundamental shift in our perceptions. No one will deny that as it relates to Chiropractic care there are numerous misconceptions and lack of understanding. And while there is a definite positive shift to a credible and preferred means of wellness and care, there are still those who don’t believe it will help or never even considered seeing a chiropractor.

At Damron Chiropractic & Wellness (DCW) we share countless stories of successful life transformations, both on our Facebook page and on our website. Many of these stories are from individuals who were skeptical of the field of chiropractic because they did not understand it and contrary to what they were familiar with. They were at their wits end with “band-aid” solutions. Whether it was through a referral, a Google search, or a simple sign, they found themselves here at DCW. And because they trusted the process they were transformed. Transformed not only by the ultimate solution to the source of their problem, but with their perceptions of chiropractic care and it’s numerous benefits to long-term health and wellness.

If seeing is believing for you, come see and believe through the words of our patients. Don’t make chiropractic care your last resort. Don’t waste priceless time suffering needlessly with pain and discomfort. Don’t let misconceptions prevent you from seeking a better healthcare choice.

Hurry Up & Wait

October 8, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

Think about the last time you had an appointment at the optometrist, primary care doctor, or other health specialist. How long did you have to wait to see that particular person? Did you find yourself waiting for quite some time only to feel yourself getting frustrated and anxious because you needed to return to work or pick up the kids? More often than not, we hurry up to get to our various doctor appointments and then wait. It is not uncommon to wait 30 minutes to an hour to see a doctor. Waiting rooms are usually full and surprisingly accepted as normal. It seems that we are expected to wait.

There is an interesting phenomenon in the world of chiropractic care. One that may be unheard of to the majority of the population – minimal wait time. Actually, many times there is no wait time at all. Imagine walking into your Chiropractor’s office at your appointment time and seeing your doctor within a few minutes of your arrival? Imagine not only being treated and getting healthy once again, but returning to your day with minimal disruptions to your schedule. Truly the best of both worlds!

There is a better way to seek and receive medical care, especially if you are living with pain. Whether it’s pain from a past injury, pain from a new injury, or pain from a recent car accident or work accident. Living with chronic pain can be optional. So is how long you wait to get better. Take some time to do some research on the vast benefits of chiropractic care. Begin to see past the big advertisements and research sponsored by big business and look for the truth as it relates to optimal wellness. Question misconceptions and false truths. Choose solutions versus a band-aid approach that masks the problems. Decide to identify the root of your health problem so you can get back to living pain-free, once and for all.

Chiropractic care is extremely effective and results-driven, where long wait times are a thing of the past.

Online Self-Diagnosing Hazards

September 29, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

The accessibility of information today is astounding. So much available at our fingertips. Have a question? Google it. Need directions? MapQuest it. What about when it comes to your health? Have you ever had a question regarding a particular symptom you are experiencing? Did you go online to determine what you have and whether or not you should seek medical attention? Or have you ever thought something peculiar was going on with your body and wanted to see if it was something you should be concerned about? While searching online for answers might put our mind at ease, there are many hazards with online self diagnosing.  New research is revealing how inaccurate the online information is especially as it relates to symptom checkers, like WebMD or the Mayo Clinic.

Just this year, Harvard Medical School published a study evaluating the accuracy of these online tools. The results were surprising considering the millions a time a year we utilize symptom checker websites. The study found that only half the time did the symptom checker provide the correct diagnosis. Half. In order to reach this conclusion, the researchers used 45 fake patient symptoms. When the top 3 ailments were provided, only 51% of the cases had the correct diagnosis within the top 3. Plus, only 34% of the time, the online symptom checkers had the correct ailment as the first most likely option.

Another hazard with online self-diagnosing is knowing when to really seek medical attention. If there is only an accuracy rate of 50%, then you may go to the doctor without really needing to. Fear is likely the motivating factor here, suggested the researchers. Fear of something more serious happening with that person’s health. Many times simply seeing the list of potential illnesses is enough to create profound fear and anxiety in an individual.

While there is certainly some benefit to using these online self diagnosing tools, we cannot place all our faith in them. They can provide some insight and guidelines, but it does not substitute the benefits of interacting in person with a doctor. You know your body best. Listen to it. Advocate for yourself when you suspect something is wrong, but don’t jump to conclusions. Another option you might consider is building a relationship with a Doctor of Chiropractic. Most, if not all, practices welcome walk-ins. If you are a regular patient, walking in to talk to your Chiropractor when you have a troubling symptom can give you the peace of mind you need, without being misled by an inaccurate online self-diagnosis.

National Chiropractic Health Month

September 25, 2015 By Damron Chiropractic

Did you know that October is National Chiropractor Month? Each year the month of October is designated to this medical specialty and its countless benefits. There is also a theme selected each year by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), and this year it’s “#PainFreeNation.”

According to a 2011 report by the Institute of Medicine, approximately 100 million Americans are affected by chronic pain, with “an estimated cost to American society of at least $560-$635 billion.” The result of this pain is the overuse of medications such as codeine, Vicodin, oxycodone, and Percocet. However, the problem is that these painkillers mask the problem plus increase the risk of death due to overdose. So, October is dedicated to helping Americans live pain-free without the over-dependence on prescription medications – “#PainFreeNation.”

The field of chiropractic is focused on the wellness of the entire person using a non-drug approach. Chiropractors look beyond the symptoms and work with the musculoskeletal and nervous systems to get to the root of the problem. Practices like Damron Chiropractic & Wellness (DCW) even take it a step further by incorporating therapeutic massage, rehabilitation, and nutrition into the treatment plan, as well. The trend today is quickly moving in the direction of a conservative, multidisciplinary approach when it comes to the treatment of pain. This couldn’t come at a better time because the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had called the abuse of prescription pain medications as an “epidemic.”

In January of this year, a paramount change was made to the standards of care as it related to treating chronic pain. For the first time ever, Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) were included. This change came as the result of The Joint Commission, an independent not-for-profit organization, that accredits and certifies over 20,000 healthcare institutions and programs in the U.S. Since 1951, The Joint Commission has been in existence, ensuring that every hospital and health care facility provides “safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.” This is a huge milestone in the field of chiropractic because society is finally acknowledging the over-reliance on prescription drugs to treat pain.

October is a month that really puts the focus back on you. The trend in healthcare is finally shifting to one that does not simply treat the symptoms, but rather the cause. Digging deeper to give you the best outcomes for a higher quality of life that is ultimately pain-free.

Dr. Andrew Damron, Chiropractor

Why ChiropracticProfessional Experience Personal Information
Dr. Damron established DCW because he was fed up with the current health model. Statistics continue to show an increase in pharmaceutical prescriptions to patients every day.

Dr. Damron believes DCW’s unique approach to achieving overall wellness will revolutionize the healthcare industry through collaborative care utilizing chiropractic, massage therapy, rehabilitation, and nutrition. The DCW focus addresses the whole person versus a only symptom and uncovers the root cause. He also believes that education is vital to sustaining a healthier more vibrant lifestyle as well.

She was 18 when she found herself facing a major, life altering surgery (SI Fusion) and realized there must be another way. When she began her treatment plan at DCW she started to have days with little or no pain. She stopped taking her medications and realized they had been affecting her overall mood.

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.
