Think Twice Before Getting Knee Surgery

"Think Twice Before Getting Knee Surgery"

There is a lot of knee pain "out there" and you may be one of those with it. Here is a well-written article to consider before asking your doctor for surgery. There is very little evidence that surgery helps most knee pain- unless there has been a traumatic injury.

The author concludes, "If you have bum knees, think exercise and weight loss before submitting to the knife." I'll also add that for 20 years the doctors of Levin and Chellen Chiropractic have greatly enhanced the healing process with our expert realignment of misaligned knee structures and muscle and fascial therapy for the supporting soft tissues of the knee. Our patients report significant reduction in pain and need for pain killers and increased ability to return to the activities they love. They often remark, "Why did I wait so long to come and see you?"

By the way, when there is an imbalanced load of forces on the knees transmitted from a hundred or more pounds of body weight coming from a distorted frame above (bones and muscles), the knees take an awful beating. Rebalancing the spine can significantly reduce the stress put on the knees this way.

Sunscreens: Best to Avoid and Best to Purchase

The sun will be getting stronger as the days get longer. We'll be outdoors more. Many of us will be purchasing fresh sunscreens to protect ourselves and our families.

"There are a lot of sunscreens on the market: some good, some bad and then the shameful."

Environmental Working Group has a "Sunscreen Hall of Shame" which educates us to make smart consumer choices regarding sunscreens, but also many other products. Although the list is for 2015, the information is still relevant. Please take a moment to save this article and pass it on to others.

Your Sciatica May Find Relief With These Yoga Stretches

Sciatica may be caused by tight muscles, OR it may be caused by something more serious. If you are not sure what is causing your sciatica, find out first before assuming a less serious cause and delaying proper treatment. That said, this article contains good information for many with sciatica symptoms coming from tight muscles and imbalanced fascial structures.

The chiropractors of Levin and Chellen Chiropractic have been successfully helping people with sciatica for almost 20 years. Our first goal is always to determine whether our patient needs our help or the help of another type of specialist. If the problem is within our scope of training, we will provide treatment with a minimum treatment plan, designed to get you well ASAP in as few visits as necessary. We assign homework like the stretches shown here as soon as the patient can tolerate it.

If you have a condition which has been causing you pain and loss of life quality, have it checked out by a qualified professional. Chiropractors are trained to help restore health in the most natural and non-invasive ways possible.
