- Pediatric CareAll Chiropractors receive a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree after completing years of specialized training and postgraduate studies. However, the areas of expertise among chiropractors vary widely, exactly like with medical doctors. For example, some DC’s focus solely on pediatrics, while others focus on sports rehabilitation or treatment for scoliosis. Make sure you do your research to ensure that you find someone with experience in treating the issue for which you are seeking care.
- Ear InfectionsBecause chiropractic care focuses on treating your spine, people have a tendency to believe it’s only helpful for neck and back issues. Chiropractic can be effective in helping people who suffer from most types of headaches, knee pain, shoulder/arm pain, elbow pain carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, ear infections, whiplash, and even hip and ankle problems.
- Sleep DisordersFatigue and sleep disturbances. People with fibromyalgia often wake up tired and unrefreshed even though they seem to get plenty of sleep. Some studies suggest that this sleep problem is the result of a sleep disorder called alpha wave interrupted sleep pattern, a condition in which deep sleep is frequently interrupted by bursts of brain activity similar to wakefulness. So people with fibromyalgia miss the deep restorative stage of sleep. Nighttime muscle spasms in legs and restless legs syndrome also may be associated with fibromyalgia.
