"After just five treatments I lost two inches around my waist.  The staff at AM encourage good health, proper eating habits and regimented exercise program that enhances the area in which you choose to lose the excess fat.  I’m now returning to begin work on another area of my body that I would like to also see tighten up.  I highly recommend the Lapex Lipo combined with good health habits."

Moon PA Chiropractor can solve more than just back and neck problems

DanceMoms 18 300x199 Moon PA Chiropractor can solve more than just back and neck problems Are you a fan of Dance Moms? The new hit reality series takes place in Pittsburgh; it focuses on a group of dance moms, an experienced dance teacher (Abby Lee Miller), and the futures child star students.

At one point in the series one of the girls, Brooke, starts to have hip pain.  She doesn’t tell her mom right away.  She is the lead in the Acrobatic routine for a competition that is coming right around the corner.  Eventually she has to tell her mom due to the extremity of her pain.  Her mom decides to take her to see a doctor, a Chiropractor actually.

Going to a chiropractor can solve more than just back and neck problems.  Most chiropractors are primary care physicians; they are highly knowledgeable medical professionals that know more than just how to heal a painful back or neck.

As shown in Dance Mom’s when Brooke saw her doctor; her chiropractor was able to easily tell her that her hip pain was serious.  He asked her a series of basic questions about the pain, where did it hurt, when did it hurt, does it hurt here?  And after some other examinations he concluded that Brooke’s hip pain was so serious she shouldn’t be dancing, especially in a competition.

Her mom felt the chiropractor was wrong, and forced her to dance anyway, but that is neither here nor there.

Chiropractors aren’t just neck and back pain doctors, they are “treat my migraine” doctors, “help me with my hip displacement problem” doctors, “treat my shoulder pain” doctors, and best of all they help people solve unknown problems with their health.  Chiropractors are great at treating all sorts of health problems, take advantage!

Carnegie PA Physical Therapist Saves the Team!

girlssoccer  t607 300x197 Carnegie PA Physical Therapist Saves the Team!My best friend in high school, Karen, was an avid soccer player she ran two miles a day, did drills, and played two games a week.  Eventually, due to her heavy physical efforts all throughout elementary, middle, and high school, she developed physical problems. She saw a physical therapist near Carnegie PA to help with her problems.

She had shin splints, ankle sprains, and knee problems.  Karen loved soccer. She lived to play it.  Karen’s physical therapist knew this immediately.

The goal of Physical Therapy is to increase the quality of life for a patient who may have chronic pain or due to an injury.

With this goal in mind, Karen’s Physical Therapist tried her best to keep Karen healthy, safe, and on the field as much as possible.  While in the office she worked hard with her to keep her muscles healthy, and show her stretches to help her with her shin splints.  Her ankle sprain was an injury that needed time for healing.  Karen didn’t have this time.

Karen’s Physical Therapist did a good job of stressing the importance of taking the time to heal her injury the first time, to avoid worsening the injury in the future.  Karen agreed to take some time off from active play on the field, and focus on healing her injury by increasing her physical therapy visits from one to three.  This helped not only her shin splints, but also helped her ankle and her knee problems.

In the end the attitude towards healing from the physical therapist, as well as the patient, has a great impact on the patient’s total recovery.  If you are looking for great sports care as well as a great Carnegie PA area Physical Therapist that will help you on your way to a quick recovery, look no further than Allegheny Medical.

Allegheny Medical Offers Complimentary Consultations for Sufferers of Chronic Back Pain

The majority of people in the United States will experience lower back pain at least one time during their lives—and back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor or miss work.

The good news is, Allegheny Medical's team of physicians and health care professionals has been successfully treating chronic back pain for over twenty-five years, and they continue to be dedicated to offering relief to those affected by this modern epidemic.

Unfortunately, the blessing of modern life comes backpain Allegheny Medical Offers Complimentary Consultations for Sufferers of Chronic Back Painwith a downside: too little time to exercise, too much sitting down, and too much stress. The result is a near epidemic of back problems in recent times. While many individuals may not always find time for the daily exercise that keeps their backs strong, many others who do try to stay active end up overdoing it.

Another cause of back pain is poor posture and alignment, which can put strain on the muscles and ligaments of the back and force the vertebrae joints to carry more weight than they should. The results are pain and extra wear and tear on the spine.

In order to stay strong and flexible, spines need daily attention. However, many people contend with constant muscle tension due to sitting for long hours at a desk or behind the wheel, or simply as a result of stress—all of which spell back trouble.

Regardless of the cause, a back strengthened by regular moderate exercise is less likely to be injured. Allegheny Medical can help those who suffer with back pain by designing personalized treatment plans based on the individual's health needs and concerns. Strength and flexibility in the back must be built up gradually, and doing too much too soon can often cause muscle strain.  The physicians and health care professionals at Allegheny Medical can diagnose and treat patients who are experiencing back pain and injury and get them safely back on the road to healing and recovery.

If you are ready to find out how Allegheny Medical can help you get relief from chronic back pain, be sure to contact them today for a free consultation at 412-494-4550.
