Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury I see in my Santa Monica Chiropractic office.
Whiplash is a neck injury that often occurs during rear-end automobile collisions, as your head suddenly moves backward and then forward - much like the motion of someone cracking a whip. These extreme motions pull your neck muscles and ligaments beyond their normal range of motion. The end result can be micro-tears in your muscles and ligaments, and subluxations in your cervical and thoracic spine.

Symptoms of Whiplash range from:
-Neck and upper back pain.
-Headaches.
-Shoulder pain.
-Difficulty breathing.
-Muscle tenderness.
-Pain shooting from your neck into your arms/fingers.
-Neck and back stiffness.
-More!

At Bay Chiropractic in Santa Monica we offer a series of treatments to deal with Whiplash type injuries. Even though whiplash is often seen as a result of auto accidents, it often happens during contact sports such as football, basketball, snowboarding and surfing.

Whiplash symptoms can last for years if not treated. If you are having neck pain, headaches, or other symptoms relating to whiplash, call us to set up an appointment and begin your road to wellness.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric - Your Santa Monica Chiropractor

ARSENIC IN YOUR TURKEY? YES!!! AHHHHHHHH

In this day and age, where we know so much, it also seem we also know very little, particularly about what is being fed to us. In a recent article by published today in the L.A.Times (click here to read full article) I learned that ARSENIC, a poisonous substance, is added turkeys. Why you ask? So they "look better". The same substance used is banned in Europe. Why not here, in the land of the free? My guess is that cooporate greed had a hand in this.

The sad thing is that as a consumer, it's nearly impossible to know. Is this information beind disclosed? I don't know, I'll have to pay attention to the turkey packaging next time I'm in the store, but being a 35 year old man, and having bought my fair share of said birds, I know I didn't know about this.

How far will greed and vanity take us? It would be nice if this didn't happen on the first place.

I'm still in shock about this. One more thing to stay on top of.

Please read the article and pass it along to your loved ones.

Best and happy thanksgiving,

What's in Pinapple's that can help with inflammation?

Pineapple's contain an enzyme called Bromelain. Here are some of the benefits of Bremelain:

Benefits: 1. Aids in reducing swelling.
2. Aids in recovering from athletic injuries.
3. May help with rheumatoid arthritis


Recommendations: The recommended intake of Bromelain is between 1,200 and 1,800 mg a day. Caution Bromelain should not be taken with Warfarin, Coumadine, asprin, Ginko, or high dosages of Vitamin E as it is also a blood thinner.

Bromelain is found in a great product from Germany called Wobenzym. Wobezym is one of the best researched nutritional supplents out there as it has been extensively tested and proven to work.

Wobenzym helps in tissue healing, and it aids in immune system function.

I carry only a few nutrition supplements in my office, and Wobenzym is one of them because of their solid research and excellent track record with my patients. If you are intersted in finding more about Wobenzym please call my office to set up a consultation.
