Chronic Sports Injuries
By drcynthia | May 9, 2010
Sports injuries are common in today’s active society and weekend warrior sport enthusiasts. Due to increases in athletes’ size, speed, power and strength, greater stress is placed upon an athlete’s muscles, ligaments and tendons. The key to treating a chronic sports injury properly is to identify the complete cause not simply to treat the injured area.
If a individual suffers from multiple chronic sports injuries, dehydration must be ruled out.  This is found with people who sweat more than average. Increasing water intake is good but not the whole picture. Electrolyte balance is very important because you are also losing sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. When the body is dehydrated and imbalanced from an electrolyte standpoint, pulled muscles are very common.
Chronic sports injuries are often due to overuse syndromes or muscular imbalance. When the bones are misaligned, the muscles around and attached to them are unbalanced. That is where chiropractic can prevent sports injuries. A stable, aligned body resists strains and sprains. Injuries such as tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons) and arthritis (joint inflammation) can be avoided by stable and aligned joints. If playing sports are important to you, then Seaman Chiropractic Center can be your best friend. I can help you avoid future injuries or help you deal with present injuries.

Is Medicine Safe?
By drcynthia | April 21, 2010
The safety of Chiropractic has been well documented in professional journals. Even medical journals have concluded the safety of a chiropractic correction. Serious side effects of a chiropractic manipulative therapy occurs approximately one out of every one million adjustments. That is why chiropractors have the cheapest malpractice insurance. We all know people who have gone to the hospital for a routine procedure and never came out and have gotten a serious side effect fro their medication.
This isn’t meant to be “M.D. bashing”. It is simply statistics about the   safety of prescription drugs as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association{April 1998} as opposed to a chiropractic correction.The article continues “Discovering new dangers of drugs after marketing is common.Over 51% of approved drugs have serious side effects not detected prior to approval.Each year prescription drugs injure 1.5 million people so severely they need hospitalization and 100,000 die making prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.”
Chiropractic is gentle and safe. At Seaman Chiropractic Center,I use  gentle non force techniques like a Thompson drop, Activator and Flexion Distraction table so the correction can be used for Chicago patients from infants to geriatrics.
