Chiropractic evaluation and treatment: WHAT CAN I EXPECT? Barbara Mansholt, D.C., M.S. Palmer Chiropractic Clinics When many people think about chiropractic care they may consider it for neck pain or low back pain. Chiropractic is a logical first step to evaluate and treat either of these conditions, as research shows evidence to support chiropractic’s effectiveness for chronic low back pain, neck pain and cervicogenic headaches (those originating from the neck). The treatment risks are very low, and overall costs of care are no more, and perhaps a bit less, than other conservative treatments for these conditions. Some individuals also seek chiropractic care and get good results for other skeletal pains, such as sciatica/ leg pain, arm pain or numbness, or sports injuries, and for constipation, indigestion, earaches or wellness/ preventive care. There are many reasons people seek chiropractic care. Chiropractors can treat a variety of back and other pains, and many people find relief from other conditions while under chiropractic care, despite the gaps in scientific evidence or understanding why. How do you determine when to choose chiropractic for your care? Be an informed consumer. Know how to manage your care with your doctor. What should you expect when you visit a doctor of chiropractic? Your first visit should be similar to an appointment with any doctor or nurse practitioner. In addition to completing the necessary forms, you’ll answer a lot of questions not only about the primary reason for your visit (chief complaint) but also about your overall health history (review of systems) because it may relate to your condition and treatment. You’ll have vital signs taken and receive a physical examination of appropriate length for your condition and health history. If you’re able, your doctor will perform reflex tests and have you move (or move you) in different ways (orthopedic/neurological tests) to help determine the cause of your condition. You may or may not need X-rays, depending upon both your condition and the type of treatment your doctor provides. Your doctor of chiropractic may also order lab work, special imaging, and/or refer you to another doctor for further evaluation, treatment or concurrent care. Your doctor should: 1) Provide you with information regarding your condition (what caused it and what you can do at home, if anything); and 2) Explain the kind of 40 October 2014 - QC Family Focus treatment recommended, including how frequent, how long, and a measurable goal of treatment. There are many different types of treatments available from your doctor of chiropractic, including traditional adjusting techniques, table-assisted “drop” or flexion/distraction techniques, or instrument adjusting techniques. Some doctors use specific exercises and/or active techniques to retrain your muscles. The length of time and goals of each treatment program can vary widely depending on the techniques used and your health condition, so know your personal goals for efficient treatment and results. Chiropractic is an effective treatment for a variety of conditions. You can be the best consumer of chiropractic health care by recognizing what examination and treatment you should receive. A variety of treatments are available; some work better for different types of conditions as well as different individuals. Being an informed health care consumer and communicating openly with your doctor of chiropractic will put you on the most efficient path to a healthier you.

JOIN US FOR HAT BASH Trish Burnett Marketing Director The joy of children opening presents under the tree gives us that warm holiday feeling, but there are seniors in our community, who don’t receive any holiday presents and the holidays can be a very difficult time for them. There are also seniors who need help throughout the year and are alone and not sure how to get the help that they need. Six years ago, Gwen Tombergs stepped up to help meet the needs of Quad City area seniors. Gwen recruited friends and family members and started the Hat Bash. Her vision was a “party with a purpose” encouraging Quad Citians to be part of a big holiday party, the Holiday Hat Bash, but with a purpose— to raise funds to help seniors at holiday time and all year long. This year, the sixth annual Holiday Hat Bash presented by Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors will be held on Thursday, November 20 from 5:30-9 p.m. at CASI. Gwen and her family and friends will be there—along with more than 600 other caring Quad Citians. Some will be wearing crazy, creative hats (fun, but optional), and they will be supporting our seniors by purchasing raffle tickets, bidding on 2856 auction nova items, family and focus participating - october.qxp in the Necker’s 8/26/2014 Diamond 6:53 AM Page 1 Derby. The night will be fun and festive, but it is the purpose that counts. This year our goal is to raise $45,000 to help area seniors. What can $45,000 do? A lot. $600 will provide one year of advocacy services to a senior; $3,000 will provide the opportunity for a senior with Alzheimer’s or dementia to attend Jane’s Place one day a week for an entire year; $24 will provide one senior with a one year membership to CASI. Money from the Hat Bash is also used to purchase supplies and provide activities for seniors. Last year CASI held more than 7,000 activities attended by more than 3,000 area seniors. The need for senior services continues to grow as the “silver tsunami” of baby boomers expands. That $45,000 can make a difference in the lives of many seniors all year long. I encourage you to save the date of November 20 and make the CASI Holiday Hat Bash part of your holiday tradition. You’ll enjoy the festivities, but more importantly you’ll enjoy the feeling of helping others—and that is the true holiday spirit.
