Migraine symptoms include depression, irritation, nausea, pain behind one eye or ear, pain in the temples, seeing spots or flashing lights, and in rare cases, hallucinations.

Sensitivity to light and or sound, temporary vision loss, or vomiting are other symptoms. Some people may even experience a thunderclap headache that can be a cluster headache.

Herniated Disc


Symptoms Of Herniated Disc

 

The most common symptom of a herniated disc is pain. The other symptoms include:

  • Muscle weakness
  • Muscle spasms
  • Abnormal reflexes
  • Uncomfortable tingling
  • Sensory changes like leg or foot numbness or pins and needles

Types Of Herniated Disc

 

Depending on the disc’s integrity and whether it is exposed or not, there are three known types of herniated discs:

  1. Contained discs within an unbroken annular outer ring
  2. Non-contained discs within a broken but unexposed annular outer ring
  3. The exposed disc that is not contained within the broken annular outer ring

Herniated discs are also classified into a cervical herniated disc (neck), thoracic herniated disc(mid-back), and lumbar herniated disc (low back) according to their location in the spine.

Neck Pain

Treatment For Neck Pain

 

There is a difference between harmless and severe neck pain. Mild neck pain is usually linked to activities leading to fatigue in the neck, such as watching TV, spending a lot of time on the computer or cell phone, or bad sleeping posture. This can be treated with self-care at home like ice packs, OTC pain medications, and rest. 

Severe neck pain, however, can be a sign of degenerative disease and appears gradually. It often progresses as a pain that radiates down the arm, making holding small utensils or writing challenging. Frequently this type of pain increases as the day goes.

Symptoms Of Neck Pain

 

Neck pain is also called “cervicalgia” by experts because it involves the cervical spine. The problem may be acute or chronic, mildly annoying to severe, and often makes it hard to move the neck or head. 

Neck pain symptoms can range from dull stabbing or sharp. Additionally, cervical pain often exhibits a constant aching neck, numbness, tingling, and stiffness. Some people may experience severely limited neck movement, which is known as torticollis.

sciatica

sciatica


What Is Sciatica?

 

Sciatica means pain due to pressure on the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve starts from the dorsal part of the spinal cord to end in the feet. The pain appears along the leg when the sciatic is pinched or affected.

It usually appears on only one side of the body and can be caused by sciatic neuritis or any lumbar spine radiculopathy.

Long Term Problems Due To Ignoring Sciatica

 

Ignoring sciatica is not directly related to the pain but is more connected to the pinched nerve’s cause. If ignored, sciatica can worsen a herniated disc or lead to lumbar radiculopathy or spinal stenosis. 

In some cases, the leg’s weakening and tingling can worsen to the extent of limiting its function or affecting nearby tissues such as the bladder or bowel.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis


Types Of Scoliosis

 

There are many types of scoliosis, and they are classified according to the patient’s age and the cause.

According to age:

  • Infant scoliosis: It’s also called congenital scoliosis and occurs in children under three years old
  • Juvenile scoliosis: Scoliosis here occurs in children aged between four and ten years old
  • Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: This is the most common type representing 80% of the cases

Depending on the cause:

  • Structural: When the spine has a permanently deviated curvature, usually because the patient was born with a congenital malformation
  • Functional: The spine is normal but gets deviated as years go by. It may be due to bad posture, compensatory, or other injuries.

Causes Of Scoliosis

 

The known causes of scoliosis are:

  • Untreated injuries
  • Compensatory scoliosis in very tall people
  • A herniated disc affecting the lumbar spine
  • Neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy where muscular and nervous system problems result in a spinal deviation
  • Physical deformity
  • Spine injuries or infections
  • Congenital disabilities
  • Muscle spasms
  • Congenital disabilities

Acquired or functional scoliosis represents 80 percent of all scoliosis. It frequently occurs from poor posture, accidents, and sports injuries. The good thing about this is it has a remedy with prompt chiropractic treatment and lifestyle changes.

What Is Pediatric Chiropractic?

 

Every person wants a tree in their garden to develop healthily and vigorously. This may only be achieved by teaching the tree to grow in the manner that is desired. Many obstacles will confront any gardener who does not teach a tree to grow in the way they want it to at an early stage and attempts it later when the tree has grown up. Similarly, as a child grows up, A child’s spine must be in a good position for the brain to grow and develop properly. They require a sturdy nerve system. This is generally accomplished by ensuring that the kid’s spine is in excellent form, aided by appropriate growth and development.

Chiropractic for kids deals with diagnosing, curing, and preventing musculoskeletal system alterations and effecting on the child’s nervous system function associated with birth, growth, and development.

Chiropractic adjustments should be considered a part of a child’s routine care. It’s better to implement pediatric chiropractic from a young age when their bodies are developing.

Pediatric chiropractic ensures the prevention of many health conditions. Besides, children don’t fear the adjustments. They like them because it makes them feel so good.
