Headaches Bay City, Texas

One of the most common problems in dealing with headaches, migraine headaches, and tension headaches is understanding the stress that causes these headaches. Stresses like emotional stress, physical stress and the most misunderstood, chemical stress create more tension in the muscles of the neck from the base fo the skull to the top of the shoulders. It is very commom to find a loss of normal neck motions with patients that suffer with frequent headaches. Muscles lose their flexibility which causes an even greater physical stress which continues to snowball to a chronic condition.

If you suffer with headaches, they are not normal. You need to get in and get checked.

Low Back Pain BayCity, Texas

thedoc — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:09:25 +0000

I have found being a chiropractor in Bay City that low back pain is one of the most common problems patient’s present with. Low back pain can be caused by a loss of normal function, motion, strains, sprains, muscle imbalances, spasms and pinched nerves. It usually is a combination of three components which is neuro (nerves), musculo (muscles) and skeletal (spine and pelvis).

Of course disc herniations are the most difficult to handle, but very rewarding when we have a patient recover from this condition.
