Sciatica Pain? We treat Sciatica successfully with Non Surgical Spinal Decompression
We treat Sciaitca and here's why sometimes you feel the pain in your hip. The nerves travel pass the hip joint and then down the leg. As the irritation to the nerve gets worse the pain, tingling and or numbness will get worse and travel down the leg eventually. It happens in stages usually.

We Treat Plantar Fasciitis and or heal or foot pain. Custom orthotics offers covered by insurance
Plan
Discover how custom orthotic insoles help to heal plantar fasciitis. We offer Foot Levers, custom orthotics. First we take a Digital X-Ray of your pelvis to measure the height of your hips and then get an impression of both feet and then send the findings of to the lab where they will be made. Often times Insurance covers the costs for orthotics.
Also known as “heel pain syndrome,” plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from a gradual degeneration of the plantar fascia or sudden trauma to the area. Patients may describe the sensation as sharp stab or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the bottom of the foot that typically occurs during walking or standing.
Pain often occurs early in the morning, when taking your first few steps out of bed, or after other long periods of sitting/lying down/non-activity. As the foot naturally tightens at night, the fascia may gain new tears in the morning, initiating a painful cycle. Appearing in one heel or both, the condition tends to be chronic and can be difficult to heal without a combination of conservative treatments and persistence.
Causes
Improper footwear
Strenuous activity
Obesity
Over-pronation
High arches or flat feet
Poor shock absorption in shoes
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain
Plantar fasciitis is commonly seen in middle-aged patients, but the young can be affected as well. We also see it often in those who place a great deal of stress on their feet like runners, athletes and soldiers. It affects approximately 2 million people in the United States annually.
Some doctors have the opinion bone spurs are the cause and surgery is required. Bone spurs are not the cause of plantar fasciitis. Surgery will not eliminate the pain, but may weaken or even rupture the plantar fascia!1
Symptoms2
Pain on the bottom of the heel
Pain in the arch of the foot
Pain that is usually worse upon arising
Pain that increases over a period of months
Swelling on the bottom of the heel
Treatment
In the Office
Chiropractic adjustments to restore normal joint mechanics and reduce tension
Custom-made orthotics to help hold the adjustments and position the foot for healing; use in all shoes for best results
Rehabilitative exercises
At Home:
Ice and massage on the sore area using a FootWheel® or a golf ball
Running and walking on soft surfaces
Stretching the plantar fascia and the calf muscle area can help to prevent inflammation.
Recommended Stretches: Taking a lunge position with the injured foot behind and keeping your heels flat on the floor, lean into a wall and bend the knees. A stretch should be felt in the sole and in the Achilles tendon area. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Also try this stretch with the back leg straight.3
Rest
The foot wheel helps in treating plantar fasciitis.
Prevention
Stretching before activity, maintaining a healthy weight and wearing supportive footwear all help with prevention. Custom orthotics are recommended to keep the foot in proper alignment and reduce stress on the plantar fascia.
Recovery
Recovery can be slow and requires patience, with 90% of patients recovering in 6–9 months. A combination of therapies as described above is the most effective approach.
Shoe Advice
Consider that the average American takes 5,900 steps in a single day4. Wearing the right shoe is extremely important for the health of your feet–and the health of your whole body, too! Here is a quick reference guide for choosing shoes that are right for you...
Say "YES" to shoes...
With a square or wide toe box
With a heel lower than two inches high
With 1/2 inch of space between your longest toe and the tip of the shoe
With arch support (for all three of the foot's arches, ideally)
With wiggle room for toes--especially the big toe
Just say "NO" to... High heel shoes can aggitate and cause plantar fasciitis
Too high heels (sorry ladies...If you MUST wear them, try to do so for no more than two hours at a time)
Stiletto heels (awful for balance—if you've got to go with heels, choose chunky instead!)
Pointy toed shoes (heels or otherwise)
Flat-as-a-board footwear like many summer sandals (if you must, fit them with custom orthotics)
A few more considerations:
Don't go by size alone: different manufacturers size differently, plus the feet tend to grow larger as we age. With pregnancy, you can gain up to a size!5
Because the feet swell throughout the day—by up to 8%—do your shoe shopping toward the end of the day to ensure ample fit.
Wearing custom orthotics in every pair of shoes goes a long way toward keeping you strong, healthy and pain-free.

Studies suggests chiropractic care reduces need for opioid prescriptions - Los Angeles Chiropractors
Studies suggests chiropractic care reduces need for opioid prescriptions
But will insurance cover it?
Adam Sexton
Political Director
NASHUA, N.H. —
If you want to reduce the number of opioid prescriptions and pills being used, and potentially misused, you need alternative pain management. And chiropractors say that's what they've been providing for decades.
"It gives people options, and that's probably the most important thing right now is to give people options for treatment," Dr. Mark Stagnone, president of the New Hampshire Chiropractic Association said.
At its annual meeting, the association is pointing to a trio of recent studies showing that chiropractic care cuts down on the use of opiate pain medicines.
In one of the studies, a former Dartmouth doctor analyzed 33,000 cases of lower back pain in a New Hampshire database.
"His preliminary research is indicating that there's about a 56-57 percent reduction in opioid use when chiropractic care has been utilized in a patients treatment," Stagnone said.
James Vara, the governor's adviser on addiction and behavorial health, said the state needs more alternative pain management.
"It becomes a question of what insurance covers it and how long they cover it for, and that's certainly something I've looked at and will continue to," said Vara.
Chiropractors said the current insurance model puts patients on a path to prescription drugs.
"The problem that it produces is that the average individual who's trying to treat a condition is faced with paying a high co-pay to visit a chiropractor or paying a considerably lower one to see a primary care physician," Stagnone said.
Changing that dynamic will require legislation that has failed in the past. But chiropractors said in this ongoing addiction crisis, it's time for adjustment.
Chiropractic care is covered under the New Hampshire Health Protection program, or expanded Medicaid. And if the program lapses, so does that coverage.

Treatment
• Extremity adjusting to ensure proper positioning of bones and joint • Have your patients wear orthotics in every pair of shoes; these provide support and comfort for flat feet, while helping to control excessive pronation. • Foot Levelers recommends the FootWheel® and Thera-Ciser™ to stretch and strengthen the bottom of patients’ feet. |
