Anyone in Florida know if there is a PT in the house? Lake Worth Chiropractic Care Helps Manage Low Back Pain Caused by Sciatica

[Guest guest]

A quick review of the Chiro practice act says they may provide " physiotherapy " .

Last year, I was reviewing one of the curriculums for Logan chiro school and

noticed they had either electives or standard classes in Physical Therapy. It

seems the chiro colleges are putting out the language; so, it's unlikely that

the students understand how they are trashing another profession. Below is one

example of their curriculum

Trimester 7 Health Center Practicum

Specialized Elective Technique, Principles of Physical Therapy, Professional

Development Diagnostic Imaging, Endocrinology, Gastrointestinal-Urogenital

Diagnosis, Geriatrics Research Methodology

Lake Worth Chiropractic Care Helps Manage Low Back Pain Caused by Sciatica

LAKE WORTH, FL, Mar 13, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Dr. Jack Cacic

Chiropractic in Lake Worth, FL is using chiropractic care to help patients

struggling with low back pain, hip pain, and other chronic pain. According to

Dr. Cacic, the practice's chiropractor, a herniated or compressed disc can put

pressure on nearby nerves, causing chronic pain. Spinal adjustments can help

restore proper alignment to the body, relieving pressure on the nerves. The

wellness center offers spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and physical therapy

for natural pain management. The practice serves the Palm Springs, West Palm

Beach, Boynton Beach, Lantana and Green Acres communities.

Lake Worth chiropractor Dr. Jack Cacic announced his success treating chronic

low back pain, hip pain and sciatica using non-invasive spinal adjustments.

These treatments focus on correcting the underlying cause for pain, providing

long-term relief.

" Chiropractic care is different from traditional medical care, " said Dr.

Cacic. " While medication can provide pain relief, drugs work by 'covering up'

pain, rather than correcting the underlying cause. Chiropractic care is

different. My goal is to identify and correct the underlying cause for a

patient's pain, such as a herniated disc. "

Natural wear and tear, an auto accident injury or personal injury can all cause

a misalignment of the musculoskeletal system. For example, the traumatic force

of an auto accident can force the spine beyond its normal range of motion,

causing a disc to slip out of place. If the disc compresses nearby nerves,

patients will experience chronic pain.

Sciatica occurs when a herniated or compressed disc puts pressure on the sciatic

nerve in the lower back. This pressure can cause a radiating pain sensation in

the legs, lower back and buttocks -- preventing patients from living an active

life. As long as the disc continues to compress the sciatic nerve, patients will

experience pain.

" Patients with chronic back pain or hip pain do not have to compromise their

active lifestyle, " said Dr. Cacic. " Thanks to advancements in chiropractic

adjustments, a chiropractor can help restore alignment to the body and relieve

pressure on the nerves. Whether this is a new or on-going chronic condition, it

is never too late to get healthy! "

According to Dr. Cacic, chiropractic adjustments work by creating space in the

spine. When the spine is compressed after an injury, there is not enough space

for the vertebrae and discs to be aligned. Spinal adjustments, however, create

new space in the spine, allowing the compressed disc to return to its proper

position and no longer compress the sciatic nerve.

" Chiropractic adjustments work because they focus on the underlying cause for an

injury, rather than simple managing the symptoms, " said Dr. Cacic.

" Not only do adjustments provide immediate pain relief, but by correcting the

underlying problem, they ensure patients can live an active life. "

The practice also offers massage therapy and *physical therapy treatments*.

These complementary therapies are designed to enhance pain relief and speed

internal healing. Massage therapy, for example, stimulates the flow of

oxygenated blood, which studies show helps to flush out waste from the muscles.

Physical therapy may also help restore movement, flexibility and coordination to

the body.
