Most of us all love summer and vacations at the lake or ocean. We all relish the great memories we created as children. Unfortunately, many of us try to recapture our youth without hesitation with spontaneous water fights, being first to show off how well we “used” to water ski, or even go and jump the waves. We cheer with delight, but if we had not been taking care of our spines, we might suffer an injury such as a whiplash.
How Does A Whiplash Injury Occur?
A whiplash injury refers to a group of injuries that occur as a result of the sudden, violent whipping motion of the head. The whip can happen in any direction – back-forward, forward-back, side-side, or anything in between.
Various injuries can result, including damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues in the neck and upper back. A host of related symptoms can then begin, many of which, to the untrained eye, can appear completely unconnected to the original trauma.
It should be remembered that the effects of whiplash may take weeks or months to fully manifest. Thus it cannot be assumed that no problems exist just because no symptoms are felt immediately following the accident.
These symptoms should always be taken seriously no matter how insignificant they may at first appear due to the areas which are affected. If you are not very careful, a whiplash injury may end up causing permanent damage if left untreated.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Whiplash?
People who experience a whiplash may develop one or more of the following symptoms, usually within the first few days after the injury:
- Stiffness and/or Neck Pain
- Headaches
- Pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades
- Low back pain
- Pain or numbness in the arm and/or
- Dizziness
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue
Summer Time Blues – No More!
Although prevention is the best solution, if you do become over exuberant this summer and suffer what you could categorize as a neck or whiplash injury see a Chiropractor, who is a trained expert in spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. With the use of chiropractic care, they will restore the normal movement and position of the spinal vertebrae. Restorative treatment may include massage therapy, trigger point therapy, exercise rehabilitation and other soft tissue rehabilitation modalities.

The warmth of summer is finally here! As we open the windows and doors, we may find that the increase in temperature coincides with the massive pollen levels that are causing an unwanted boost in cases of seasonal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis. This is unwanted news for those of us who anxiously awaited for summer to finally arrive.
So before you go and take all those medications or avoid going outdoors look at choosing a new solution to your seasonal allergies this summer season.
It All Begins Here
Allergies by nature do not occur spontaneously, each day we either build health or sickness in our body. Small traumas even birth is self, long-term abuse and negligence, though unnoticeable at first, take their toll on the body over a period of time. By the time your first allergy symptoms appear such as sneezing, coughing, runny nose, itchy eyes, headaches, and various other symptoms your body has already been experiencing interference or malfunction for some period of time—possibly years.
Children like adults should be living a full on active lifestyle. With activities comes bumps, falls, collisions in sports or autos, and poor posture with repetition in our relaxation times. Any of these things are enough to cause a spinal misalignment. Left uncorrected, these will also begin to take their toll on the body. Lowering the ability of the body to be well will make it less able to concentrate, less able to fight off disease, less able to coordinate and harmonize, less able to make the food that is eaten into usable form, and less able to clean the blood of toxins. It will make it less able to make the proper chemicals or the proper amount to control all the body’s functions, and less able to be strong, flexible and healthy.

In our office, our purpose is to not only help you get well but to stay well. The best way for us to achieve this simply explaining the “how” and “why” of how your body works and what you can do to maintain the results that we are able to help you achieve.
Understanding Made Easy
When an appliance in your home is not working properly, it could have a devastating potential to short circuit and cause a fire that burns down the entire house. But thankfully, the appliance has been hardwired with a mechanism that when there is too much ‘charge’ detected, a signal is sent back to a connection to where the entire power supply to the house is located. This location is known as the fuse box. The fuse box will “blow the fuse” or simply shut off the power to the appliance and everything on that circuit supply. Therefore, no fire results and your house remains safe.
If you can understand this simple analogy, you can also understand how the most complex system in your body works – your central nervous system.
Follow along for a second… in our previous example, the power supply is your brain, the house is your body, the fuse box and power points is your nervous system and the appliances in the house are all the other organs.
When an appliance is not working properly in your house, there is always a reason. The first obvious one is that the there is a problem with the power supply – either the power point is not turned on, or in fact the fuse is still blown from a previous problem! The second is that there is some kind of problem with the appliance itself.
Now, back to our body – when a part of it is not working properly what is your first thought? Do you ever think about the connection or power supply?
The Electricians of Health

If you think about the mechanics of your neck, you’ll realize it’s not surprising how easily it can be injured. It has amazing flexibility, is constantly on the move, has very little muscular support, but has to support the 14 - 16 pounds of your head. It is like balancing a bowling ball on a...

The superhighway, as it was coined in the 1990’s, was developed to bring our global communications and information to one great stream accessible by all of us. The information is translated and driven by numerous languages and mathematical algorithms but one system that is universally is the same is that to access and connect to this expanse of information, you first need a few things, namely – a computer and an internet service provider. Then of course your computer needs to be turned ON and you have to be connected to the internet.
This is a great metaphor for how our bodies function. The major premise of chiropractic is that there is a Universal Intelligence that gives to all matter its properties and actions, thereby maintaining it in existence. In other words there is order to the planet and an unlimited potential of intelligence – similar to the World Wide Web.
Put simply, unless you are connected to this Universal Intelligence (or the www.), then you are missing out on an unlimited potential of intelligence. In vertebrates, which yes – humans are included, this intelligence flows from our computer (our brains) down through the spinal cord to all the cells, tissues and organs of the body.
How Many Bars is Your Connectivity?
Interference in the connection from your brain to your body can occur from misalignments in the spine. The misalignments often result from physical, chemical and emotional stress placed on our body through things like car accidents, the birth process, sporting slips and falls, poor sitting, sleeping and standing posture, toxins in our food and environment and stress from work, relationships and finances.
Ultimately the connection speed of nerve signals flowing through the body should be 261 mph, but in a compromised or non-maintained working order, this transmission can be slowed as much as 60%. This is like going from high-speed wireless to the old dial up where you wait for what seems like an eternity for each page to load. Some people feel like this in their bodies where despite how much sleep they get, they still feel tired, or their digestion is sluggish, immune system is depressed, hormones are not balanced or instead of being mentally alert they feel ‘cloudy’.
Other Mechanics Effected
The health of your spine is affected by the stability and health of your extremities—the parts of your body that are not your back and neck. These areas can be directly related by not only injuries, repetitive incorrect wear and tear, but a weakened communication cycle from your body’s server.
These areas are most often effected
- Elbows
- Wrists
- Ankles
- Hands and fingers
- Hips
- Knees
- Feet and toes
- Jaw
- Shoulders
If there is an incorrect connection people will most often feel a tingling sensation, numbness, or instability and/or weakness in those areas.
