Chiropractic Care

There are a number of things a person has to do to keep themselves in great shape. With all of the different factors that go into maintaining a high level of well-being, you will have to make sure you devote the right amount of time to it. If you are able to follow the warning signs your body gives, you will be able to address your health issues as they arise. One of the best ways to feel better in your daily life is by having routine chiropractic care. The following are a few signs you need to schedule an appointment with your chiropractor.

Noticeable Pain in Joints and Muscles

If you start to notice that the pain you feel in your joints and muscles is becoming more severe and frequent, then you will need to call in a chiropractor to give you some help. The more stress you put on your muscles and joints on a daily basis, the higher your level of pain and discomfort will be. By getting the treatments you need, you will be able to alleviate this pain and discomfort and get on with your life.

Sedentary Job Life

Another sign you need to call on a professional chiropractor for help is having a job that requires you to remain still for more than 8 eight hours a day. This level of inactivity can start to weaken the muscles you have and create a number of different issues for you. By taking proactive measures, you will be able to avoid injuries which are caused by having weakened muscles. The chiropractor you see will be able to let you know what you can do to combat the weakened muscles you have and reduce injuries in the process.

Trauma from an Accident

One of the worst experiences a person can be involved in is being involved in an accident. There are a number of different injuries that can be caused by this type of situation and getting treatment for them should be a top priority. If you are experiencing aches and pains well after the accident has happened, then you will have to get some professional help. By visiting a chiropractor, you will be able to get the relief you need to back to a normal way of life. Make sure to do some research in your area before choosing the chiropractor to use.

Choosing the right chiropractic health centre is a big part of getting the right care. Taking the time to weigh the options in an area will help a person make the right decision.


Respiratory Care Week- A week that honors respiratory therapists and promotes lung health.


COPD Awareness

COPD Awareness

Normally awareness weeks have the objective of helping people find out about various different medical conditions.

While of course Respiratory Care Week is about promote lung health. (It really is time to give up smoking!) It also honours the work of respiratory therapists!

Respiratory therapists are healthcare professionals who specialise in supporting patients with lung related conditions such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, COPD, cardiovascular disorders, and trauma.

You can find out more at the KU Medical Center website.

Because Respiratory therapists are rare in Europe it would be great if our American readers would share their experiences of being treated by these healthcare professionals.

World Trauma Day – Can anyone tell me anything about this awareness day?


World Trauma Day

World Trauma Day

As eagle eyed readers of PatientTalk.Org will have spotted we have been giving a fair bit of coverage to Bone and Joint Health National Awareness Week. You can find out about the events here.

So today as you may be aware is World Trauma Day. While starting some research this morning I came up with nearly nothing.

Actually that is not quite true – the Hindustan Times has produced an excellent article on the day and why it is so crucial in India. Indeed they argue for emergency and first aid training in schools.

Up to 400,000 deaths death year in India could be prevented with better emergency care. While I except that it is a bigger issue in developing nations, without the sorts of infrastructure which you and I seem to take for granted, it beggars belief that it is not considered a big issue in developed nations.

So does anyone know anymore? It would be great if you could share any information you might have about the day. Please use the comments section to share any links and so forth.

PS For our purposes trauma her refers to an injury such as you might receive from a road accident.

St Valentine's Day and Health

St Valentine’s Day and Health

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year, but try telling that to anyone who has ever suffered heartache or been jilted around February the 14th.

Watching happy couples celebrate their love for each other when you’re nursing a broken heart can be unbearable for many; but not only that, medical studies now show that a broken heart is an actual medical condition.

In this show the guests will discuss whether it is possible for a broken heart to make you ill, as well as the findings of new research by benenden health, which reveals how many times the average man and woman get their heart broken in a lifetime.

Besides speaking to friends and family, the study shows many of us turn to alcohol or food to get us through the heartbreak. While these things may make us feel better in the short-term, in the long term they’re not the healthiest way of dealing with trauma.

So how can you mend a broken heart in a healthy and constructive way?

Tune in to our live and interactive web TV show where relationship expert and psychologist Dr Corinne Sweet, and consultant cardiologist at benenden hospital Dr Robert Gerber discuss how to make sure a broken heart doesn’t harm your mental and physical health, and look at ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day regardless of your relationship status.
