Golfers' Elbow is the common term used to describe pain and discomfort in the medial epicondyle. Commonly referred as golfers' elbow for the high incidence of golfers who suffer from this condition due to the stresses put upon the elbow during the game of golf.
Last week I saw a new patient who came in solely for the treatment of of his golfer's elbow. As it turned out, not only did he have golfers' eblow, but he had an upper extremity bio-mechanical problem. We actually got more relief in the elbow by releasing his shoulder than by working on the actual elbow!
The key with this patient was understanding the entire upper extremity bio-mechanics!
Don't let injuries slow you down! If you have any questions regarding golfers' elbow, please call me. I'll be more than happy to see if I can help!

TENSION HEADACHES
TENSION HEADACHES
Tension Headaches are the most common type of headaches out there.
They can be debilitating and bring you to depend of prescription or over the counter medications. Recently I had the opportunity to help a young man who had been suffering from headaches for years and was getting them on the average of 5-7 days per week! This young man had a history of minor but chronic head trauma -As former professional defensive soccer player he was used to heading the ball over and over again-. Over the years, he'd tried prescription and over the counter medications only to get temporary help and no permanent solution to his problem. He has been treating with me for one month now, and I'm elated to say that since his second visit he has not had one headache!!!!
CHIROPRACTIC CARE:
* Remove subluxations (spinal joint restrictions)
* Remove nerve interference
* Release muscle tension
* Restore the body to health
If you know anyone who has chronic headaches, let them know we may be able to help.

Spinal mis-alignments and Back Pain
Spinal mis-alignments, otherwise known as subluxations can cause back pain, neck pain and a variety of other problems. When the vertebrae are out-of-alignment they not only cause pain but also affect how the nerves that come out of the spine work. A pinched or irritated nerve can cause muscle pain and dysfunction and it may also affect how the organs and tissues that particular nerve supplies work.
In recent studies, pinched nerves in the neck were shown to increase blood pressure.
If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, or you want to be pro-active in your health, call my office for a spinal check up.
Common signs that you might have a subluxation are:
* headaches
* neck/back pain
* shoulder pain
* numbness and/or tingling down the arms and fingers or your feet
* restricted range of motion
* tension in your muscles
* neck pain or discomfort coupled with increase blood pressure

Headaches
Headaches can be debilitating. The most common type of headaches are called "tension" headaches.
According to the CDC, up to 80% of all headaches originate in the neck. Chiropractic can help relieve headaches by reliving pressure on the nerves that come out the suboccipital and cervico-thoracic junctions that are usually the culprit of the headaches.
If you know anyone who suffers from headaches and is tired of popping Tylenol, Advil or other meds that only address the symptom, please pass along my number. There may be a drug-free solution to their problem.

Rotator Cuff Injuries - Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is commonly associated with rotator cuff injuries.
What is the Rotator Cuff?
The rotator cuff is composed of four muscles that wrap around the head of the humerus (arm) and provide both movement and stability to the joint. When injuries occur it's important to understand the patients muscle imbalances, posture and the cause of the injury in order find the best treatment protocol.
When the injury is due to repetitive stress, as most injuries tend to be, understanding the mechanical stress is key to finding the appropriate solution.
Common Treatments:
Myofascial release, muscle strengthening and stretching are the most effective ways to treat minor to moderate injuries. Passive modalities such as ultrasound therapy and electrical muscular stimulation are also used, but usually reserved for acute or very chronic conditions.
Chiropractic adjustments also help restore proper motion to the joints (gleno-humeral, scapular-thoracic articulation and sterno-clavicular joint) allowing the entire shoulder complex to function better.

New Office
So, I'm all settled in the new office and excited to continue to grow a practice based on good health.
Chiropractic is much more than pain relief. Chiropractic is based on how structural alignment (restrictions) affects the surrounding structures. By detecting and correcting spinal restrictions you can actually prevent problems, and improve how your body works.
I look forward to the opportunity to help you thrive,
Dr. Eric
below are pictures of the new office!
