Whiplash Treatment in Vancouver

Whiplash is an injury to the neck (the cervical vertebrae) resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration (as in an automobile accident.
Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) represent a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck.
Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear; however, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles or horses. It stands out as one of the main injuries covered by the car insurers. In UK, 430,000 people made a claim for whiplash in 2007 (75% of the UK's motor insurance claims), accounting for 14% of every driver's premium.
The symptoms of the whiplash reported by sufferers include: pain and aching to the neck and back, referred pain to the shoulders, sensory disturbance (such as pins and needles) to the arms & legs and headaches. Symptoms can appear directly after the injury, but often are not felt until days afterwards. Whiplash is usually confined to the spinal cord, and the most common areas of the spinal cord affected by whiplash are the neck, and the mid-back (middle of the spine).

You are more likely to get tension headaches if you work too much, don't get enough sleep, miss meals or use excessive alcohol. Postural and occupational stress are also a very common cause of headaches.

Headaches are often a result from faulty spinal mechanics due to the accumulation of stress & tension to the spine. This condition can be properly assessment and treated by a chiropractor.

Scoliosis Screening & Evaluation in Vancouver

Do you have a Scoliosis? What is a Scoliosis? All children and adults shoul have their spines screened for a lateral curvature of the spine: a Scoliosis Screening. Please call 604-733-7744 to have Dr. Michael Horowitz evaluate your spine for posture and scoliosis.

Scoliosis (from Greek: skolíōsis meaning "crooked") is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side, shaped like an "s", and may also be rotated.
Conservative treatment of scoliosis through chiropractic, massage, stretches and activity modification can help prevent the progression of a scoliotic curve and in some cases reduce the degree of that curve.

It is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. On an x-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. It is typically classified as congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult according to when onset occurred) or as neuromuscular, having developed as a secondary symptom of another condition, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy or due to physical trauma.
Scoliosis may be “fixed” as a result of muscle and/or bone deformity or “mobile” as a result of unequal muscle contraction.
Scoliosis predisposes individuals to back pain, headache, and other posture-related disorders. In rare, severe cases, the curvature can lead to difficulty breathing or heart problems due to a lack of space from the deformed ribcage. A scoliosis is classified based on an angle measurement taken from a full spine x-ray.

MILD - under 15 degree angle
MODERATE - 15 to 30 degree angle
SEVERE - greater than 30 degree angle

Have you asked yourself these questions about Scoliosis?

• Do I have a pain caused by scoliosis?
• What conservative scoliosis treatments are available?
• Do I require scoliosis surgery or a scolisis brace?
• What are scoliosis causes and do I need a scoliosis brace?
