The Danger Signs Of An Injury, Strelcheck Chiropractic, Crystal Lake IL

January 5, 2016

Did you know that your neck and your back are the most common body parts to be injured in an auto accident or on the job? Unfortunately some pass up immediate treatment if they think the injury is minor. Today we are going to discuss minor injuries that under the surface aren’t so minor. First, know what to look for. Know the danger signs. The effects of trauma to the musculoskeletal system takes time to show up. For example any discomfort while you walk or sit, any pain while you bend at the waist, any stiffness in your neck or shoulders. For your own protection both legally and physically, seek out a doctor’s opinion immediately. Keep a chiropractor’s emergency on call number handy at all times. Over 70% of accidents occur on the weekend. Have some help getting in and out of your car to go see your chiropractor. Live on the first floor of your home so you don’t have to go up and down stairs. Don’t sit on soft furniture, it’s always a little harder to get in and out of so don’t risk it. Apply ice to the painful areas it will reduce inflammation and feel good too. As we wrap up today I want to remind you about those danger signs. This is what you should look for. The Effects of Trauma Take Time to Show Up. Any discomfort while you walk or sit. Any pain while you bend at the waist. Any stiffness in your neck or shoulders. Thank you again for joining us today for this episode of Vital Signs. We will see you next time.

TMJ Relief, Strelcheck Chiropractic Patient Joyce L.

January 1, 2016

Hello my name is Joyce Lewis and I have been a patient of Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic since 2001. I was referred to Dr. Daniel from a friend who had great success in relieving her lower back pain. My story starts back in grade school. As my permanent teeth were coming into position, I did not have the room in my mouth to handle them so they started pushing against each other which created a very messy and crooked set of teeth. The dentist suggested removing several teeth and to prepare them for braces and at this time I started to have headaches, tension in the lower jaw and lack of motion to open my mouth. Three years later I had braces applied to my teeth and that’s when the orthodontist noticed one side of my jaw was longer than the other. My headaches and the jaw issues continued on and off through my adult years. I had a consultation with Dr. Daniel who diagnosed my problem as TMJ and I started treatment immediately. After six adjustments I was feeling relief, less headaches and tension in my jaw area. I will never get rid of my misshapen jaw but I now have a balanced one and I follow up with an adjustment two to three times a year to maintain the health of my jaw and I know can bite into an apple without pain. Thank you Dr. Daniel for everything!

Stress and Subluxation

December 28, 2015

Stress to our bodies comes in many forms. Hi, I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck with Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic and I’m going to explain how stress causes subluxations to your body. If you remember, the subluxation is a bone misalignment that puts pressure on the nerve and decreases the joint’s ability to move. The most obvious stress is physical. It takes a lot less than a severe car accident to cause a bone misalignment. Remember falling as a child or your mom telling you sit up straight? Maybe you just thought you slept funny one night. The biomechanics of physical stress pulls the bones out of place. Now emotional stress is something we all can relate to. The stress you feel from your job or home causes our muscles to tense and tighten, again pulling the bones out of place. Chiropractors are the only trained and licensed healthcare practitioners to detect and treat subluxations. So the next time you’re body feels stressed, contact Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic. For a healthy and happy life, I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck.

VitalSigns, Getting a Second Opinion

December 24, 2015

Are you frustrated with determining who to trust when it comes to your health care needs? I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck with Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic. Gone are the days when we had one doctor in town and zero choices to make concerning our health. Today the public is bombarded with chiropractors, massage therapists and physical therapists on every corner. It can be quite overwhelming when you’re in pain so who should you trust? People today turn to their families and friends to help them decide because they are tired of being overcharged for services that are not necessary. They are looking for advice, education and getting well. They are also concerned with cost of care and whether there is insurance coverage. In order to help clarify those concerns, an average adult chiropractic plan should be between $1500 and $2500. This is for typical 45-year-old who has ever seen a chiropractor before and is moderate to severe pain. With this plan, physical and massage therapy is not required and would be determined if needed during the course of treatment. Getting a second opinion today is crucial in determining healthcare needs. Here at the Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic, we believe in keeping healthcare costs reasonable and are committed to advising, educating and helping our patients get well. So the next time you need help with determining who to trust with your healthcare, call us at Strelcheck Chiropractic Clinic. For a healthy and happy life I am Dr. Daniel Strelcheck.
