At Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Richardson, we hear lots of great feedback about chiropractic care from our patients. The most obvious reason our patients love chiropractic care is due to the fact that chiropractic adjustments offer help with pain relief and pain management. A trained chiropractor helps fix any misalignments in your spine, which will leav you feeling great even after your visit to the chiropractic office is over. We also commonly see patients from Richardson and Plano who are experiencing the symptoms of back pain, neck pain, headaches, and migraines.

Another reason that our patients like chiropractic care at our Richardson office is because our chiropractor works with the body instead of against it in order to promote healing and wellness. At Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we take a total approach to achieving health, so in addition to just chiropractic care, we also offer massage therapy and acupuncture as a great complement to a complete chiropractic care plan.

Regular massage therapy has healing properties for injuries but will also provide results in pain relief for those who are looking for pain management.

A Richardson Chiropractor Comments:

At Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we commonly see patients from Richardson and Plano who are suffering from neck pain. Chances are that neck pain will affect you at some point in your life. Neck pain has many causes, but whether you have been spending too many hours in front of a computer or if you just slept in the wrong position, neck pain can seriously impact your daily activities in a negative way.

Different types of neck pain are associated with a variety of different symptoms, but a licensed chiropractor such as Dr. Blum has extensive experience determining the root cause of your pain. Spinal conditions often cause complex pain symptoms that may often seem unrelated so it takes a spinal expert to understand what is actually happening with your body. Dr. Blum will begin by evaluating your individual symptoms and health history and after determining your condition, he will target the true problem instead of just the pain symptoms you are experiencing.

You may notice that your neck ‘pops’ more on its own than it used to, ever since the onset of your neck pain. This sometimes is an indication that the spine or neck is out of alignment and is trying to get back into the proper alignment. Neck pain is often characterized by sharp shooting pain that becomes worse when moving the neck in certain ways or into certain positions, though neck pain can sometimes be more like a constant dull ache. Neck pain may be accompanied by shoulder pain or stiffness and chronic headaches or migraines. In addition to pain symptoms, neck pain may associated with numbness or tingling, difficulty swallowing, swishing sounds that seem to be coming from inside the head, dizziness or lightheadedness, gland swelling and a general feeling of ‘fuzzy headedness.’

Neck pain has many causes including degenerative disc disease, general neck strain, a neck injury, a misalignment in the spine, a herniated disc or a pinched nerve. At Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Blum has extensive experience treating patients with neck pain in Richardson and Plano, including chronic pain cases and cases where the neck pain is accompanied by frequent headaches or migraines. Dr. Blum offers several holistic therapies at his office such as chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, corrective exercises and physiotherapy modalities. Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture commonly sees chiropractic patients from Richardson, Plano, and the surrounding areas.

A Richardson Chiropractor Comments:

At Natural Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Richardson, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your wellness goals without unnecessary pain medication or surgery. Last time we posted three reasons why you should visit a chiropractor in Richardson. Today we will continue with three more potentially unanticipated reasons you should visit a chiropractor today!

1. Prevent Pain: Have you ever wondered how your spine degenerates until it eventually starts causing you pain? When there is a misalignment or subluxation in the spine, there may be few initial symptoms. However, over time the joints in your spine may start to experience a decreased range of motion and which can lead to degeneration in your spine. When a spine has reduced range of motion, it starts a vicious cycle where as the joints of your spine lost the ability to move through a full range of motion, they get even more stiff from lack of movement. Your nerves may start to atrophy and get smaller. This can lead to atrophy in the surrounding muscles. If a spinal misalignment goes on for long enough, the bones in your spine may even start to fuse together. For these reasons, it can be extremely beneficial to get a chiropractic adjustment periodically, even if you’re not currently experiencing any symptoms. 
2. Can't Sleep? Get Relief from Insomnia: If you’ve ever suffered from insomnia, you know how not getting enough sleep can disrupt your life and make you feel tired and miserable. Getting a great night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do for your health. Fortunately, both chiropractic care and acupuncture are effective therapies to reduce or eliminate insomnia and many other types of sleep disorders. Chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture have been reported to help patients fall asleep faster, sleep longer, sleep more soundly, and generally have a better night’s sleep. 
3. General Wellness and Well Being: Chiropractors are well known for being at the forefront in the latest all-natural and non-invasive techniques to reduce pain and promote wellness. At Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we provide many additional services as part of your wellness program such as nutritional counseling, anti-aging treatments, homeopathy, and more! We’re here to help you achieve the best health of your life!

Here at Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Richardson, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve their wellness objectives and live a happy, healthy life with freedom from pain. Like many others in Richardson or Plano, you may not realize that you can sometimes avoid an unnecessary trip to the doctor by visiting your local chiropractor. At our Richardson chiropractic office, Dr. Blum and his chiropractic staff specialize in many different health care techniques including chiropractic and acupuncture. During your first consultation with us, Dr. Blum will evaluate your current and past health history so he can create a personalized program so you can start feeling better right away, without unnecessary pain medications or surgery.

There are many reasons to visit a chiropractor in Richardson and Plano, and today we just wanted to share just a few of them with you.

1. Pain: Are you in pain? Your body may be trying to tell you that something is wrong. While many people only think about visiting the chiropractor if they’re experiencing a spine related pain such as neck or back pain, you may not realize that your chiropractor may also be able to assist you with other types of pain such as shoulder, wrist, knee and hip pain. In addition, many types of pain can originate from problems with the spine, even though the pain symptoms are experienced in other parts of the body. In those situations, getting a chiropractic adjustment in your spine may solve the pain problems you are experiencing in your joints or extremities. In any case, you can be assured that Dr. Blum will evaluate and treat your whole body as opposed to just treating your symptoms. If you are in pain when you come to the office, you may leave feeling better after your very first visit!
2. Numbness: Many people will experience some sort of numbness and tingling which keeps coming back unexpectedly. Numbness and tingling are common symptoms, but many doctors find it difficult to determine the root of the problem and provide relief. There have been many cases where a patient suffering from numbness or tingling will go to several doctors only to be told that there doesn’t seem to be any cause of their problem. If you’ve ever experienced numbness or tingling, or a dreaded case of the ‘pins and needles,’ then you know how frustrating and annoying these symptoms can be. You don’t need to give up and just live with these symptoms. Many cases of numbness and tingling are caused by a pinched nerve or some problem with your spine. Many patients with unexplained numbness or tingling will find that their symptoms completely disappear after getting their back adjusted by an experienced chiropractor. If you’ve been suffering from unexplained numbness or tingling, don’t despair! Contact Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Richardson to set up an evaluation today! 
3. Prevent a Surgery:  An article that was published by WebMD stated that chiropractic care can reduce the need for certain surgeries by 32%. For example, lower back pain that radiates to your legs is often caused by some sort of misalignment or other problem with the spine that gets worse over time without treatment. This sort of condition may eventually require surgery, but many times a chiropractor will be able to reduce the symptoms of pain naturally and prevent the need for surgery.

At the Natural Care Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Blum believes that every patient in Richardson or Plano deserves to try out chiropractic and acupuncture therapy, so we've made it easy for you to get started.
