Chiropractic Care for Trophy Club, TX: Back to Mobility

|

The way the human body functions is amazing. Every part is meant to work together. Our musculoskeletal system – muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments – is connected in a beautiful way and its health can easily be taken for granted. Think about the accomplishments of Olympic athletes, pushing their bodies to the limit. Think of kids and teens who jump and leap, seemingly without effort. The stay-at-home mom who goes up and down stairs, picking up laundry, or the professional who spends all day focused and poised over a computer with arms, neck, and back in the same position for hours. That amazing musculoskeletal system can be put to the test. When the pains and strains get to be too much, Dr. Cody Doyle of Doyle Chiropractic & Acupuncture can provide chiropractic services that can help relieve pain and restore your range of motion.

What kinds of conditions can be treated at Doyle Chiropractic & Acupuncture?

Patients come to our office for many of the reasons you might expect – and for others you might not. Dr. Doyle can help identify a variety of conditions including back and neck pain, upper and lower body strain, degenerative discs, and inflammatory and degenerative arthritis. Along with these familiar concerns, Dr. Doyle also treats plantar fasciitis, allergies, peripheral neuropathy, and ailments related to autoimmune diseases. If you suffer with these illnesses or experience ongoing pain, we welcome to you stop by for a consultation.

While Dr. Doyle is prepared to provide traditional chiropractic care, he knows every patient is different and comes to our treatment center with varying concerns. He takes time to carefully evaluate each patient, taking into consideration their medical history and their current condition. Dr. Doyle can recommend a variety of treatments that can address specific issues and can contribute to the overall health of the whole person.

What kinds of treatments do you offer?

Dr. Doyle is trained to identify specific courses of treatment that can bring pain relief and promote ongoing healing. Chiropractic adjustments can manipulate the musculoskeletal system. To go along with adjustments, premodulated muscle stimulation (sometimes called e-stim) and ultrasound therapies may be used to target a specific problem area. These therapies can help reduce muscle spasms and can release tension in muscle groups and assist in restoring flexibility. Acupuncture is an alternative and holistic treatment based in traditional Chinese medicine and is also available to address concerns related to dysfunction in the nervous system. These therapies can provide relief and positive results. Dr. Doyle is also focused on providing services to those pursuing overall wellness and weight loss. These patients may receive recommendations for exercise, nutrition, detoxification programs, and herbal treatments.

Your Joints – Use Them or Lose Them!

|

Argyle chiropractorJoint pain and joint degeneration (osteoarthritis) has long been thought of as a natural consequence of aging and hard use. Cartilage breaks down in the joints over time. Repetitive use of certain joints can make them more prone to arthritis. Think of your grandmother, whose hands became gnarled and fingers became twisted after years of sewing and knitting. Or Shaquille O’Neal developing arthritis in his big toe after running, jumping, and dunking basketballs for years. Some joints are more prone to arthritis if they are used more than others.

But arthritis can also be a result of under-use. Movement in the joint helps protect it from degeneration. Cartilage gets its nutrients and retains its elasticity from using the joint. Underuse can cause further deterioration and pain.

Do you suffer from painful joints or degenerative arthritis? Argyle chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle can help you stay active and reduce your pain. Call Doyle Chiropractic and Acupuncture at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment.

Exercise as a Treatment for Arthritis

One of the best ways to protect your joints is to keep them active. Motion helps your joints stay healthy and flexible. Getting regular exercise and taking the time to stretch can help your arthritis symptoms in a number of ways:

  • Exercise helps you maintain a healthy body weight, which can lessen joint pain.
  • Muscle strength helps take pressure off joints.
  • Muscle tissue absorbs shock that may otherwise hit the joints.
  • Stretching helps your damaged joints stay flexible and can reduce swelling.

If you are starting to experience joint degeneration, you can prevent things from getting worse by finding opportunities to exercise that don’t push you past your limits (and into pain). If you used to enjoy running, but now your left knee swells up and stiffens any time you jog, try something lower-impact. Walking, swimming, and cycling can deliver a lower-impact workout that keeps your muscles and joint moving and flexible.

Joint Degeneration Affects the Spine, As Well

Once you get to a point when you’re starting to feel the stiffness or swelling that can indicate osteoarthritis, you should also start thinking about your back. Your spine isn’t just one joint, but 29 individual joints that make up the vertebrae. Just like the other joints in your body, the vertebrae need exercise to keep the cartilage and discs from degenerating.

What kind of exercises are best for protecting the spine from joint degeneration? Any exercise that works out the core muscles of the back and abdomen. Pilates, yoga, and Tai Chi are great for the spine because they incorporate stretching and strengthening, while focusing on spinal alignment. Ultimately, as long as you are up and moving, rather than sitting for long hours every day, you’re going to be strengthening the muscles that support the spine and keep it flexible.
