"Will I Have to See My Camarillo Chiropractor 'Forever'?"
Posted by: | CommentsAs a Chiropractor, one of the most common questions asked by those considering chiropractic care is: “If I start going to a chiropractor, will I have to always go?” I often wonder why this particular question doesn’t come up for someone who goes to a general medical practitioner. Think about it: How strange would it be if someone asked, “If I go to Dr. Smith for a general checkup and he gives me a prescription for a temporary condition I might have, will I have to see him ‘forever’?” The answer is “Of course not.” You don’t have to see Dr. Smith again, but you probably will for your yearly or bi-annual checkup and, naturally, in between if you’re not feeling well.
The same is true when you go to see a chiropractor. Most of the time, individuals go to see a chiropractor because they’re in pain (not feeling well). After the chiropractor has treated them and gotten them out of pain (a ‘prescription,’ so to speak, for a temporary condition), the chiropractor will probably suggest maintenance care (a general checkup even when you’re feeling okay). The only difference is that a chiropractor will likely suggest that you come in monthly. Why? Because chiropractors are all about preventative care whenever possible. Maintenance care is like a “tune up” that not only helps your body to maintain the “crisis” treatment you received when you were in pain and keeps you healthier and stronger so that you can avoid future injuries, but during your maintenance visit your chiropractor can make sure that you don’t have a “temporary condition” that needs to be corrected before it becomes “crisis” treatment.
Cumulative effects of awkward sitting posture, bad work habits, incorrect lifting, lack of regular exercise, and other unhealthy lifestyle-related influences can produce pain, often excruciating pain, in your back, neck, shoulders, hips, knees, etc. Getting “checked out” and “readjusted” on a regular basis keeps small conditions from becoming big problems.
So, to the question “If I start doing to a chiropractor, will I need to go “forever”? The answer is “No, but you may want to, for your health’s sake!”

Your Camarillo Chiropractor Can Get Rid of The Pain in Your Neck!
Posted by: | CommentsSometimes, life can be a real pain in the neck, can’t it? Yet, though circumstances in our life may resolve in a timely manner, actual neck pain can persist for quite a while and often get much worse. Besides causing a lot of pain in a particular region of the neck, neck conditions can also cause pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness down the arm and into the fingers. Neck problems can be responsible for both tension headaches and head pain. It is important to find the source of your neck pain so that it can be treated properly. A detailed examination and evaluation by your chiropractor, a spinal expert, will aid in establishing the exact reason for your individual neck pain.
Are you wondering why you are having neck pain? There are many reasons for neck pain and associated symptoms. The neck can sustain trauma from an accident creating strained muscles, sprained ligaments, and spinal joint injuries. Sitting at a computer for long periods and/or performing repetitive tasks can generate postural stress on the neck. Such stress causes muscular tension and inflammation in the neck and upper back. Postural stresses can be made worse by poor spinal mechanics and weak or overdeveloped muscles. Irritation of soft tissue produced by degeneration of the spinal joints and discs as the result of the aging process, as well as “slipped,” herniated, or ruptured cervical discs are additional causes of neck problems.
Chiropractic techniques offer an organic, non-invasive approach to a wide range of cervical dysfunctions. Pain relief, decreased tension, and increased motion all result from chiropractic management.
Your chiropractor is an expert when it comes to knowledge of the spine and musculoskeletal system and will be able establish the reason for your neck pain and treat it at its source. If you’re ready to get get out of pain for good, chiropractic treatment is the answer you’ve been looking for. Make an appointment with your chiropractor today!
