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.

Dining Out While Losing Weight in Robinson, PA

Money Saving Ideas for Dining Out full article vertical 253x300 Dining Out While Losing Weight in Robinson, PAGoing out to eat is great.  Good food, social atmosphere, and you are not the one doing the cooking.  What about when you are trying to lose weight?

Going out to eat when dieting can be intimidating.  Finding items to suit your dietary needs on menus can be difficult.

When going out to eat it is important not to get discouraged.  Sometimes a Medically supervised weight loss and management program, like this one offered in Robinson,PA, can be very helpful if you are a socialite trying to drop a few pounds.

Good rules of thumb to follow while dining out and on a diet are these:

Fruit salad 2 300x300 Dining Out While Losing Weight in Robinson, PA1.     Eat light.  Go for a salad with steamed or baked protein, and light dressing.  Skip the croutons, and share the bread!

2.    Get diet soda, iced tea, or water.  Drinking water curbs the appetite.

3.    Desert? No thanks! Skip desert.  Instead order some fresh fruit salad.

4.     Chew your food.  This may seem like something we do automatically but it isn’t.  Chewing your food more takes more energy, slows the eating process, and allows your body to actually feel hungry.

5.    If you are ordering something heavy, like pasta or a sandwich with a lot of protein, take home leftovers.  Break up those calories throughout the day, but don’t eat heavy in the late evening.

7.    Most restaurants offer some sort of “Light” option, or “healthy choice” option.  Not all do however.

8.   Most restaurants should have nutritional information (ingredients, calories, grams of fat) in the kitchen, and will gladly give it to you.

A First Hand Account of the Benefits of Physical Therapy, Brigeville Area

How a Bridgeville PA Physical Therapist helped me recover from a Car Accident

During my junior year of high school my mother, sister, and I were driving on a heavily trafficked stretch of road in Robinson.  My mother wanted to make a left onto an over pass, taking us to a back-road short cut.  We were unaware at the time, but taking this short cut would result in a rear end car accident, which left me in a neck brace for about two months.

Moving my neck was very difficult and painful.  Everyday tasks became everyday struggles.  My doctor suggested physical therapy to help my neck injury.

rb neck rub 1 0809 mdn 150x150 A First Hand Account of the Benefits of Physical Therapy, Brigeville Area

Physical therapy was important for my recovery.  My Bridgeville PA physical therapist showed me neck exercises and stretches.  Doing these exercises prevented further injury, and strain, from occurring.  Following her instructions also reduced the amount of pain that I experienced.

One sign of a neck injury is the inability to touch your chin to your chest.  This was the case for me.  During my time at physical therapy, I was able to gradually work on touching my chin to my chest.

At the end of the two months of physical therapy I was neck brace free.  Without physical therapy, it would have taken much longer - maybe not at all.  Physical therapy helped me understand what was happening to my neck, how to be virtually pain free, and how to heal faster.
