Chiropractic care deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including the neck, thorax, and the lumbar spine. Treatment involves manual ...

It is estimated that over 50% of the population consult chiropractors for spinal issues. Chiropractors work in synch with other professionals to relieve pain. They are allowed to order diagnostic tests and imaging, explain to the patient the findings, perform thorough physical examination and plan a management regimen for treatment. They are not allowed to prescribe medications. Their duties usually vary from state to state.

Chiropractic care has several interfaces with other disciplines. It overlaps with manual therapy professions, including osteopathic manipulations, massage therapy, and physical therapy. Occasionally, chiropractors can dispense dietary supplements that benefit the overall wellbeing and the joints. When applied by a skillful and experienced chiropractor, spinal manipulation is overall safe.

Chiropractic care for low back pain: There is continuing conflict of opinion on the efficacy of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) for nonspecific low back pain. A 2008 review found strong evidence that Spinal Manipulation (SM) is similar in effect to medical care with exercise. A 2007 review found good evidence that SM is moderately effective for low back pain lasting more than 4 weeks; a 2008 literature synthesis found good evidence supporting SM for low back pain regardless of duration. Of four systematic reviews published between 2000 and May 2005, only one recommended SM, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM or mobilization is no more or less effective than other standard interventions for back pain. Methods for formulating treatment guidelines for low back pain differ significantly between countries, casting some doubt on their reliability (Edited from Wikipedia)

Chiropractic care for whiplash and neck pain: There is no overall consensus on manual therapies for neck pain. A 2009 systematic review of controlled clinical trials found no evidence that chiropractic spinal manipulation is effective for whiplash injury. A 2008 review found evidence that educational videos, mobilization, and exercises appear more beneficial for whiplash than alternatives; that SM, mobilization, supervised exercise, low-level laser therapy and perhaps acupuncture are more effective for non-whiplash neck pain than alternatives but none of these treatments is clearly superior; and that there is no evidence that any intervention improves prognosis. A 2007 review found that SM and mobilization are effective for neck pain. Of three systematic reviews of SM published between 2000 and May 2005, one reached a positive conclusion, and a 2004 Cochrane review found that SM and mobilization are beneficial only when combined with exercise. A 2005 review found consistent evidence supporting mobilization for acute whiplash, and limited evidence supporting SM for whiplash. (Edited from Wikipedia)

I have a diabetic foot for several years and have tried all existing methods
and while I was looking for a way of treatment my disease I've found an interesting non-traditional way of curing diabetic foot and I want to share this information with you. Have you ever heard about such kind of physiotherapy as magneto-therapy? if no - you can get it here - http://www.magneto-therapy.eu/magnetotherapy.aspx
so, if you also tried it, tell me please your experience and result]]> http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/discussion/266/ 2010-08-16T01:41:11-07:00 2010-08-16T01:46:35-07:00 bilal shanti http://www.diabetesbuddies.com/account/572/

Is it just me or is it becoming more and more difficult to withdraw money from the bank? OK I don't want anyone else to get at my money that I have worked hard for, but it also means I can't get it ...

I went to the bank today to pay my credit card bill, straight transfer from one account to another as the bank and the card are the same company. They inform me I now need a debit card, but they can't tell me what else I need a debit card for.

My salary is paid into my account and I am always very carefull NOT to let it get overdrawn, so when I pay my credit card bill, as close to my salary payment as possible, I know there is money in the bank. I only pay my credit card bill from that account and get the odd ammount of cash.

The caterers at work don't accept credit card payments for anything under £5, that's a lot of tea and fruit (or chocolate on treat days), so I need cash sometimes.

Can anyone else remember the good old days when you went into a bank, didn't need to queue up and a nice smiley cashier said OK here's your money? These days the banks seem to change their policies so often that even the bank staff struggle to keep up, so no more nice smiley bank staff

turn the central heating up
shut all the doors and windows and don't go out till spring
throw a party
eat lots of fun low sugar low carb foods
do lots of baking and cooking
find somewhere sunny and warm for a winter holiday
