Dr. Lee Phelps and Abrams Chiropractic Staff Celebrate National Chiropractic Health Month

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/30/2015 -- Seattle chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic is celebrating National Chiropractic Health Month along with the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) that is helping to bring attention to the current public health crisis caused by pain, particularly the overuse of highly addictive prescription painkillers.

Throughout the month of October, Abrams Chiropractic and other practices across the nation are promoting the hashtag #PainFreeNation to spread the word about how chiropractic services can effectively help people manage their pain as an alternative to prescription painkillers. Dr. Lee Phelps and other chiropractors participating in the campaign will share simple ways to enhance strength, avoid injury, and minimize pain in everyday life through the use of social media.

When compared to prescribed medications, chiropractic patients experience a higher level of success in pain reduction. Studies show that within four weeks of chiropractic manual-thrust manipulation, 94% of patients experienced 30% less back pain, compared to just 56% of patients using only prescription medications. Opioid painkillers generally mask the pain that patients experience which can lead to over-exertion of the affected area and a delayed healing process. Chiropractic physicians use more conservative treatment methods to treat the root of the pain, attempting to avoid resorting to riskier and more invasive treatments for pain.

The cost of chiropractic care for low back pain compared to treatment initiated by a medical doctor is also 20% lower, which offers even more advantages for patients. The treatments that Dr. Phelps offers don't require any downtime like spinal surgery does, nor do they present any risks for dependency or addiction like prescription pain killers do.

While low back pain is a common concern among adults, National Chiropractic Health Month is also focused on helping children take preventative steps to reduce the risk of acquiring low back pain in their future. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2013 alone cited more than 5,000 backpack-related injuries treated in emergency rooms. The ACA recommends that backpacks should not weigh more than 10 percent of a child's body weight and should utilize both straps to distribute the weight evenly between both shoulders.

Seattle chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps offers pediatric chiropractic services to help children feel their best

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/29/2015 -- Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic in North Seattle is helping young patients feel and perform their best with pediatric chiropractic services. While many people assume that chiropractors only treat adults, children can also greatly benefit from chiropractic services. Not only can chiropractic services help ensure that children grow and develop properly despite the injuries of childhood, but it can also help treat other childhood conditions.

From the moment a child enters the world through birth, their skeletal structure endures a considerable amount of trauma as they later learn to walk, participate in sports, and participate in normal childhood explorative activities. Although these injuries like falls, tweaks, or sprains may seem minor, they can have an impact on how the child's muscular and skeletal system continues to grow and develop. With pediatric chiropractic services, Dr. Phelps is able to ensure proper alignment that will give children the best potential for optimal health, growth, and development.

Ensuring proper alignment for children is helpful for treating back and neck pain, but it has also shown to be helpful in treating other childhood conditions such as chronic ear infections, colic, asthma, bedwetting, and even difficulty nursing.

Dr. Phelps provides pediatric chiropractic care for children of all ages, even for those as young as newborn. He is specially trained to provide pediatric chiropractic services and uses extra gentle pressure to adjust newborns, infants, and children properly. Each child is provided with a unique treatment plan that addresses their individual needs and concerns, providing them with the best potential for optimal health.

Young patients who are already seeing a pediatrician can still benefit from pediatric chiropractic services, as much of what Dr. Phelps offers is preventative wellness care that takes a proactive approach to wellness for the child.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic uses latest chiropractic devices to deliver effective care and adjustments for patients

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/27/2015 -- North Seattle chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic is helping patients find relief from pain caused by spinal subluxations and other misalignments using the Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument, one of the most effective but lesser known tools in the chiropractic industry. The instrument is one of the most popular low force chiropractic techniques in the world and is proven to deliver much more accurate and effective treatment than with adjustments delivered just by hand alone.

The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument is a spring-loaded, handheld tool that delivers a precise, consistent, low-force and high-speed thrust at just the right angle. Because the tool delivers force much more quickly than when making adjustments by hand, the body rarely tightens to resist the adjustment, which makes the process much more comfortable and effective for the patient. This device is commonly used for spinal adjustments, but is also helpful for adjusting knees, wrists, elbows, and other joints of the body.

To begin treatment with the Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument, Dr. Phelps first analyzes the movement of the patient's spine and how it moves and bends. He evaluates the length of the patient's legs to check for differences that can be indicative of subluxations. After the treatment, Dr. Phelps re-tests the patients to ensure that positive changes have been produced that will help the patient move and feel better as a whole.

In addition to the activator method that Dr. Phelps uses at Abrams Chiropractic, he also utilizes a variety of other adjusting approaches to improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. Some of these include the Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), the Gonstead technique, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Thompson Terminal Point technique, Applied Kinesiology, Grostic, HIO, and Bio Cranial therapy.

No matter the technique Dr. Phelps uses to treat patients, his overall goal and the goal of his professional staff is to help patients uncover the underlying cause of their health problems, create care plans that will produce the fastest results, and provide overall wellness care to help patients live their lives to the fullest.

Seattle chiropractors promote photographers and artists in the Art Up PhinneyWood Artwalk

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/01/2015 -- Dr. Lee Phelps and Dr. John Vang of North Seattle chiropractic office Abrams Chiropractic are proud to join their neighbors every month in promoting art as a community through the Art Up PhinneyWood artwalk. Seattle is known for its appreciation of culture and art and nowhere is that more obvious than in the second Friday of each month, when the Art Up PhinneyWood artwalk takes place. The artwalk is a great opportunity for local businesses to reach out to the community in a way they might otherwise not come into contact while simultaneously promoting and exposing local artists to the public.

The variety of businesses that participate in the Art Up PhinneyWood artwalk ranges from cafes and galleries to hardware stores, banks and of course medical practices such as Abrams Chiropractic. Art is a natural complement to the chiropractic discipline as the aim of chiropractors is not only to relieve pain but also to promote wellness throughout the entire body including the reduction of stress and the promotion of relaxation. Encouraging the community to step away from their computers, cell phones and televisions to experience real art by getting up and walking around is a perfect marriage between physical activity and mental health.

Abrams Chiropractic has had the pleasure of displaying works by Lisa Daniels, Tessa Blackham and Rachael Crick, with many more artists to be displayed throughout the year, all the way into December. Art Up PhinneyWood artwalk began to promote the 40+ participating venues in the Greenwood-Phinney neighborhood of North Seattle while promoting and encouraging local artists that work in a variety of medias, including painting, photography, sculptors, home goods and fashion as well as talented Seattle musicians. Venues work directly with artists to arrange the installation and promotion of their works, which results in venues having the pleasure of handpicking the artists that they best appreciate and wish to display. The Abrams Chiropractic team provides an enthusiastic stop on the art walk that is excited to meet new neighbors and help generate interest in talented artists.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic encourages Seattle patients to find ways to move even with a sedentary lifestyle

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/29/2015 -- Average Americans spend about 10 hours per day sitting and by doing so, are unknowingly shaving time off of their lives. In fact, the fourth-leading cause of death worldwide due to non-infectious disease is physical inactivity. Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic in North Seattle is educating patients on the health dangers of extended sitting based on some of the most recent studies in the industry, and is also helping patients incorporate important habits into their lifestyle that can counteract these dangers.

Studies show that extended sitting and inactivity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and colon, breast, and endometrial cancers. Additionally, extended sitting can lead to brain damage, muscle degeneration, leg disorders, posture problems with the lower back, strained neck, and strained shoulders.

The typical American lifestyle is becoming so sedentary that even 30 minutes to one hour of physical activity each day may not even counteract the damage done during the 10 hours of sitting. Researchers from the University of Colorado and the University of Utah School of Medicine found that getting up and moving lightly for two minutes for each hour of sitting decreases premature death by 33% by simply activating the cellular mechanisms in the body through movement.

Given these most recent findings, Dr. Lee Phelps is helping patients not only overcome their back, neck, and shoulder pain issues that are a direct result of extended sitting, but also to develop new lifestyle habits that encourage regular light movement throughout what would normally be a completely sedentary day.

Dr. Phelps and his staff use a variety of different adjustment techniques to alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain and also to improve postures. Treatment plans are completely customized for each patient depending on their specific needs, preferences, and lifestyle. They also provide wellness care and lifestyle counseling to help patients feel their very best and live life fully with optimal health.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic helps Seattle patients find relief from debilitating PMS symptoms through chiropractic care

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/15/2015 -- With an estimated 90% of women suffering from some form of premenstrual syndrome, also known as PMS, about 10-20% experience severe or disabling symptoms that interfere with their daily life each month. Fortunately, chiropractic care may help if female patients have evidence of nerve compromise to their reproductive organs. Seattle Chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic is helping local patients find natural, drug-free relief from PMS symptoms through chiropractic care.

The nervous system controls and regulates the body's major systems including every cell, tissue, and organ. The center of the nervous system is in the spine, and in many cases, misalignment of the spine can cause abnormalities in the nervous system. This is especially the case when patients experience pain or discomfort in their lumbar spine. While no specific research has linked PMS symptoms to subluxations in the spine, evidence shows that there is certainly a relationship. Nervous system deregulation, caused by subluxations, has shown to lead to under activity, over activity, or distorted activity of the reproductive organs. These are manifested through heavy bleeding or cramping, missed periods or infertility, or other pain or bleeding symptoms.

Dr. Lee Phelps encourages his female patients who are experiencing PMS symptoms that interfere with their daily lives to consider chiropractic care, as an undetected subluxation may be the culprit. Many women Dr. Phelps and the staff at Abrams Chiropractic have treated have seen an improvement in their reproductive health after undergoing treatment. Chiropractic care helps restore the nervous system to its normal, functioning condition so it can properly regulate reproductive organs.

Chiropractic care is safe for women of all ages and in all conditions of reproductive health. Dr. Phelps and his staff work to create personalized treatment plans that are catered to each patient and their specific problems. Their goal as a team is to provide patients with natural, drug-free solutions that help improve their quality of life and overall wellness.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic in Seattle encourages patients to turn off technology for better health

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/25/2015 -- In a society that is increasingly dependent on technology, it's common for the average person to spend the majority of their waking hours interacting with a technological device. Between smart phones, computers, and TV, technology is taking a toll on sleep quality and increasing the occurrence of chronic pain. Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic in Seattle is encouraging patients to establish tech-free zones in their home to help improve their health by eliminating sources of pain and sleep loss.

A study conducted by the British Chiropractic Association found that about one in two people fall asleep in their bed while watching TV. Additionally, those who have TVs in their bedroom spend up to four hours watching them. This means that for the most part, people are sitting in compromising positions for their spinal health and also putting themselves at risk for poor sleep. Unfavorable posture is also commonly found in those who use computers or laptops excessively throughout the day, as well as in smartphone users who keep their head tilted downward for extended amounts of time.

These compromising positions can cause the back and neck to take on unnecessary strain and can even become misaligned. Spinal misalignment can be a major source of aches and even radiating pain into the limbs and head. According to Dr. Lee Phelps, one of the simplest ways to improve sleep and relieve back and neck pain is to simply establish a tech-free zone in the bedroom, particularly in the bed itself. This ensures that TV will only be watched in a different area of the home with improved posture, and will also prevent over-stimulation of the brain with screen movement prior to sleep. Limiting laptop and smart phone use in the bedroom will also help ensure better posture and more quality sleep throughout the night.

For those who must still use technology in bed, Dr. Lee Phelps encourages them to take extra care to ensure good posture and that the screens they use are at eye-level. The back should be properly supported with pillows and users should avoid hunching over for extended periods of time to prevent back and spine pain.

For those who are already experiencing pain or poor quality sleep due to the overuse of screens and technology, proper chiropractic care can help remediate the problem. Dr. Lee Phelps uses a custom combination of adjustments, stretches, and exercises to safely bring the spine back into alignment, reducing pain and helping to improve quality of sleep.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic encourages the inclusion of chiropractic care before conception, during pregnancy, and for childbirth and post-partum wellness

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/19/2015 -- While traditional doctor visits during and after pregnancy has become a cultural standard to ensure the health of mothers and new babies, many women aren't aware of the innate connection between chiropractic aid and pregnancy. Seattle Chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic is encouraging new and expectant mothers, as well as those planning on getting pregnant in the near future, to explore the benefits that chiropractic aid can offer for optimal health and wellness.

When it comes to pregnancy, there's no better time in a woman's life to have an optimally functional nervous system when both mother and baby can benefit. Chiropractic care may be beneficial for women during the pre-conception phase, during pregnancy, labor and birth, and also after giving birth. The techniques are completely natural and drug-free, so there's no risk of interfering with the baby's growth or development in helping mothers feel their very best at this critical time in their lives.

For women who are planning on getting pregnant, chiropractic aid can be beneficial to prepare muscles, nerves, and the skeletal system to be as supple, strong, and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy in a healthy, natural, and comfortable way.

During pregnancy, an estimated 50% - 80% of mothers experience pelvic or lower back pain that can seriously affect their quality of life. Other women may experience discomfort on the upper back, shoulders, and rib cage. Receiving chiropractic care while pregnant is an effective, natural alternative to relieving this pain. Additionally, many pregnant patients who have received chiropractic care often state that they experienced shorter and more pleasant deliveries because of it.

Pregnancy hormones naturally cause joint laxity which can cause chronic pain and misalignment in the joints and skeletal system, particularly leading up to childbirth. Chiropractic care in preparation for labor and birth can help assure that the bio mechanics of the hips and spines are in optimal condition, ideally preventing the need for other interventions during the delivery process.

After childbirth, new mothers can find relief in chiropractic care for back and joint pain that can come from breastfeeding and getting used to a new lifestyle and figure.

Dr. Phelps and his staff at Abrams Chiropractic customize their treatments and techniques to the needs of each new or expectant mother to make sure she receives the best level of care under their supervision.

Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic in North Seattle, WA, applies the newest scientific methods to wellness treatment while relying on traditional knowledge to provide full-spectrum care

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/16/2015 -- North Seattle, Washington chiropractor Dr. Lee Phelps of Abrams Chiropractic practices chiropractic medicine and wellness therapy with the most current scientific methods at hand while maintaining a solid foundation of traditional wellness and health knowledge. Dr. Phelps knows that being healthy is about more than just making yearly appointments with the family doctor and getting the occasional massage therapy or chiropractic adjustment when there's an injury, or after extreme stress has already taken its toll on the body.

In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 'Health' is described as "…a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Complete physical, mental and social well-being extends far beyond aspirin for headaches, and cutting back on cheeseburgers and cigarettes. Maintaining the body's optimal health is an ongoing process that requires regimented behaviors, lifestyle adjustments and medical assistance from skilled doctors, including that of well-trained, experienced chiropractors. In Dr. Phelps' experience, many people misunderstand or ignore chiropractic treatment until reacting to a spine-related concern brings them in for their first appointment. Often, new patients are surprised that chiropractic care aims at so much more than simple pain relief, instead focusing on restoring the overall functionality and integrity of the entire nervous system, improving the health of cells and tissues throughout the body.

Historically, many medical doctors in other fields have remained unfamiliar or even dismissive of chiropractic care and the founding principles that doctors of chiropractic use to improve the health and well-being of their patients. Specifically, many doctors operate under the disillusion encouraged by the illegal boycott of chiropractors by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Medical Association in Australia.

However, in September of 1987, a United States Federal judge ruled that the AMA had violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, engaging in unlawful conspiracy to restrain the trade and "contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession." That judge then issued a permanent injunction against the AMA under Section 16 of the Clayton Act to prevent such future behavior, encouraging a re-examination of chiropractic by the public at large and re-introducing it as a source of various life-changing benefits.

Abrams Chiropractic in Seattle can help treat the negative physical and emotional toll of sudden weight gain and holiday eating habits

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/16/2014 -- The Seattle chiropractic and wellness professionals at Abrams Chiropractic do more than treat clients with a variety of pain symptoms and wellness goals. They can also provide safe, controllable methods and treatments for achieving weight loss goals that may have been sidelined during the holidays, and they can help reverse the negative effects of sudden weight fluctuations that can result in harmful long term conditions. Now that the holiday season has begun, many people find themselves struggling to maintain dietary and nutritional habits that may have taken months or even years to develop. Good eating habits are hard to maintain, and the ongoing buffet of home-cooked meals make it tough to stick to the no carb, no sugar, no alcohol or no caffeine regimen that keeps the body and mind fit and healthy.

Weight gain, especially sudden or short-term fluctuations, are damaging to the spine and nervous system. The effects of weight gain vary according to a person's activity level, gender, age and the type of weight, or target area, where the body stores unhealthy fat cells. Risks include type 2 diabetes, increased blood pressure, increased chance of stroke, breathing problems and dangerous sleep apnea. Weight gain also strains the spine and central nervous system, causing misalignments and subluxations that result in back pain and nervous system interference. Such interference means that the brain has a difficult time receiving the signals it needs, causing numbness, pain and a host of other problems. Weight gain also has detrimental emotional effects, like decreased self-confidence, increased depression and anxiety, less energy and lower quality of life. The more weight is gained, the more difficult it becomes to lose, and overall health and wellness suffers.

Many people cheat or abandon healthy eating habits during the holidays, and may find themselves unwilling or incapable or regaining the progress made toward a healthier weight and lifestyle. Along with proper chiropractic and wellness care, simple steps can be taken to reset a healthy, active lifestyle, or even just burn the extra calories ingested over the holidays. For example, parking farther away from the store injects a little extra exercise into a mundane activity. Take the stairs whenever possible, and take a walk daily. Proper hydration is crucial to maintaining a healthy weight, so be sure to drink enough water throughout the day. Make sure to get enough fiber and protein, which help the body burn fat and allow digestive functions to operate optimally. As always, stay away from processed foods and limit sugar whenever possible. With the right lifestyle choices and the help of a wellness professional, it's possible to defeat the holiday bulge and get back to a healthy mind and body, ensuring wonderful holidays for years to come.

Abrams Chiropractic Clinic describes how regular chiropractic treatment may help reduce the severity of asthma symptoms

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/12/2014 -- Seattle chiropractic professionals Abrams Chiropractic have provided a breakdown of the ways chiropractic treatment may lessen the severity and frequency of asthma attacks and symptoms for sufferers. Asthma attacks may be less frequent and severe with regular chiropractic care. As the number of children diagnosed with asthma has continued to increase over the last several decades, the importance of finding new ways to alleviate the stress, symptoms and severity of attacks must increase as well. Steadily declining air quality, harmful additives and chemicals in food and intensified stress factors for children have led to an overwhelming rise in overall diagnoses of asthma and other health problems in recent years.

Chiropractic care is well-known to treat a variety of wellness problems in the body, from improving the effectiveness of the immune system, increasing circulatory system health and reducing blood pressure to assisting in weight loss and sleep apnea. Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the lungs and airways, limiting the amount of oxygen that the asthma sufferer is able to intake during an episode. This can lead to dizziness, loss of consciousness, lack of oxygen in the bloodstream and damage to the brain. As a chronic condition, asthma itself can be managed but not cured. It is up to caregivers and those with asthma to determine the best ways to treat symptoms and control the disorder. The classic treatment involves the pocket inhaler which reduces inflammation and opens up restricted airways during an asthma attack. But there may more ways than previously thought to decrease the frequency of inflammation episodes and thereby lessen asthma symptoms.

Non-medical treatments can be done at home and help to improve the immune system, overall wellness and reduce elements which cause inflammation, such as allergens. Begin by eliminating foods that irritate or cause allergic reactions in children. Employ high-quality air filters in the home's ducts to improve air quality. Dress beds with hypoallergenic sheets, blankets and pillowcases, and use modern hypoallergenic pillows to greatly reduce the inflammation symptoms that come from breathing in dander and residue from cheaply made or feather-stuffed pillows. In addition to these home-based tactics, chiropractic care may be used to help reduce inflammation and asthma attacks by rejuvenating the nervous and circulatory system's ability to properly manage reactions in the body. Removing restrictions for the lungs and airways and encouraging the child's nervous system to function at peak performance may provide a boost to the immune system that can help control asthma.

Abrams Chiropractic Clinic promotes overall wellness and full-body health by explaining the nutritional benefits of fish oil

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/29/2014 -- Abrams Chiropractic Center in Seattle, Washington, has long been a practice that advocates overall wellness and full-body health in addition to the benefits of chiropractic treatments to improve quality of life. Part of that overall approach to wellness includes important ways to manage and improve one's diet in order to provide the fuel and nutrients the body needs to maintain a healthy immune system and increase its natural regenerative properties.

Fish oil is a beneficial supplement that can be easily taken in capsule or liquid form. Fish oil supplements provide powerful Omega-3 fatty acids and often contain Vitamins A, C, D, and other valuable ingredients. These natural elements are found to enhance the effectiveness of the immune system, boost memory, reduce inflammation, reduce the risk of certain cancers, improve bone health, improve the healthy look of hair and skin, reduce the risk of heart disease, reduce the symptoms of eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, help prevent pregnancy complications and improve concentration in children and adults.

Human bodies do not produce Omega-3 acids on their own. One must eat fish at meals or take fish oil supplements to achieve these benefits. Those who eat fish twice per week or more can get lots of valuable fish oil, especially if the fish is baked, grilled or steamed. Fried fish does not contain as much of the nutritional benefits. Molecularly distilled fish oil supplements are available for those concerned about the residual heavy metals found in some seafood.

Quality fish oil supplements should contain the two main fatty acids in fish oil: EPA and DHA. Good supplements contain a minimum of 500 milligrams of combined EPA and DHA, have undergone third-party testing with visible results, do not have a fishy smell or taste which could indicate that the product is spoiled, and provide certification that only non-endangered fish species were used as a source.

Abrams Chiropractic treats patients with ADHD, allergies, headaches, stress, carpal tunnel, and other common ailments through natural healing methods

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/15/2014 -- The doctors at Abrams Chiropractic in North Seattle want people to understand how spinal adjustments and other natural treatment methods may provide relief from more than just back pain. Even a small misalignment of the spine can disturb the nervous system and potentially result in a wide range of negative health conditions, including attention deficit disorder, ear infections, allergies, asthma, and a general weakening of the immune system, among other ailments. Abrams Chiropractic urges anyone experiencing symptoms related to these or other common issues to be evaluated by a licensed chiropractor in Seattle in addition to any other treatment they may be receiving.

New patients at Abrams Chiropractic are often surprised to find out how many different aspects of their health can be improved by chiropractic therapy. Traditionally, most people have turned to chiropractors when they want relief from back or neck pain and joint stiffness, but increasingly the US population is looking at natural healing as an alternative to medication or surgical treatment. Chiropractors are different than specialists in the sense that they typically spend more time evaluating the patient's overall wellness, opposed to focusing on individual symptoms.

About Abrams Chiropractic
The staff at Abrams Chiropractic also reminds patients that going to a chiropractor only one time is no substitute for leading a generally healthy life. Chiropractic care and a commitment to personal wellness go hand in hand. Once a patient is thoroughly evaluated by a chiropractor at Abrams, they are given a personalized treatment plan that will likely include some basic exercises and nutritional guidelines to follow, in addition to semi-regular office visits. The frequency and style of treatment depends entirely on the individual's needs and goals.

Abrams Chiropractic of North Seattle offers guidance for stretching, warm ups and cool downs that help avoid strains and tears

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/26/2014 -- North Seattle chiropractors Abrams Chiropractic knows that being active with exercise and sports is an excellent way to improve and maintain the body's overall health and wellness. As the summer swings into high gear and many people are outdoors enjoying sports, workouts and physical activities under the sun, the staff at Abrams offers some insight into properly stretching, warming up and cooling down the body around workouts and sports to minimize the danger of muscle and ligament damage. Living a life of complete wellness includes enjoying activities that allow the spine, nervous system, and joints to move about properly, while retaining and improving their optimal functioning. This is often done by simple daily behavior like playing sports, gardening, doing a DIY home project, or hiking and biking.

However, it's important to position and prepare the body before jumping into some serious fun and exercise. First, don't forget to warm up. Regardless of the activity, it's often easiest to jump right in without the proper warm up time beforehand. By neglecting this warm up period, the chances of muscle strain and ligament damage are increased, leading to damage which can be severe enough to eliminate all activity from one's life for an extended period of time. Warming up means starting out slow. Allow the body to move easily in comfortable ways, without strain, and gradually build momentum. For example, if planning a long walk or hike, begin with some muscular stretching, starting slowly and gradually increasing the pace as the body warms up to the activity. This allows muscles and joints to receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to perform correctly. Warming up may also improve physical performance.

Proper posture and movement are big factors in warm ups and workouts as well. When pulling weeds from the garden or working on a home project, remember to lift objects with the legs rather than the back. Keeping the spine in a rigid, upright position while lifting helps the discs between vertebrae stay uninjured, active and healthy. When shoveling, keep the back straight instead of curved downward, bend at the knees while lifting the load with the legs, and pivot the whole body rather than just twisting the waist. Studies show that active engagement in improving posture, increasing regular daily movement and activity and properly warming up before strenuous activity can help strengthen the muscles and joints, reducing the instances and symptoms of lower back and joint pain.

Abrams Chiropractic delivers advanced techniques applied directly to pain symptoms in areas other than the spine for relief in limbs and extremities

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/12/2014 -- Abrams Chiropractic of North Seattle knows that spine health is connected intrinsically to the overall wellness and fitness of the body. The health of the spine is directly associated with the health and stability the body's extremities, meaning the limbs, hands and feet, as well as any part of the body other than the neck and back. Patients experiencing pain or mobility problems in the extremities can address these concerns to the experienced team at Abrams and discuss how chiropractic treatment can help alleviate pain throughout the body. Some extremities with pain symptoms treatable by chiropractic techniques include the elbows, wrists, ankles, hands, fingers, hips, knees, feet, toes, jaw and shoulders. Many normal daily activities result in a certain amount of stress and fatigue on various parts of the body that often are neglected when it comes to their rehabilitation after long hours of use.

Many people seek out chiropractic help when back and neck pain becomes problematic, or following an injury or accident. Some may experience tingling, numbness, or lack of stability in a problem extremity, instead of or in addition to discomfort or pain. This may be indicative of a nervous or musculoskeletal problem. Chiropractic treatment is very effective at treating pain in the extremities, helping to improve blood flow and restore proper functionality and mobility to the affected area, which is the same goal pursued when treating the neck or spine. Extremity disorders may be causing or contributing to pain symptoms elsewhere in the body, especially in the main nervous column in the spine. Chiropractic care focused on problem extremities can contribute to the overall healing of pain throughout the body, improving optimal functionality and eliminating discomfort.

Chiropractic techniques work on other joints and structures of the body the same way they work with the spine. The joints in the body are susceptible to misalignments, injuries, fixations and malfunctions that inhibit proper functionality and can lead to pain and limited range of motion. Most often the culprit behind joint and extremity pain is a combination of trauma, micro-trauma, bad vibrations and damaging repetitive motions like typing on a keyboard. For example, when treating carpal tunnel pain symptoms, many patients may be surprised that the cause of that wrist problem may be connected to overall posture and positioning issues in the neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist. Subluxations in the spine can compromise the delicate inner workings of any structure connected to it.

Abrams Chiropractic publishes helpful tips on maintaining healthy posture, circulation and metabolism during long shifts at a desk

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/25/2014 -- Abrams Chiropractic of Seattle has released a breakdown of helpful tips for improving posture, maintaining healthy circulation and keeping up metabolism during workdays for those who sit at a desk for extended periods of time. It's well-known that remaining seated for long days at the office can have detrimental effects on a person's overall health and well-being. Conditions caused by inferior chairs, long hours and lack of movement can include a decrease in healthy metabolism, blood flow and strain on the back, neck, shoulders and arms, as well as wrist and elbow pain, numbness in the legs and musculoskeletal soreness. Many people will suffer chronic back pain after months or years of sitting at work. This happens when the spine and nervous system suffer fatigue and injury after sitting for too long without getting up for periodical spells of movement. When the spinal joints don't experience enough normal movement, the muscles and joints become tight, leading to soreness that lasts long after the workday is done, and can lead to restless sleep and pain during other activities.

It's imperative to get up and move around every 20 minutes, stretch the legs and rotate the arms, allowing the body to strengthen and activate those muscles which get sore after extended stasis. In addition to regular bouts of movement and stretching, the position and setting of the office chair used throughout the day can have an effect on overall health as well. When adjusting height and attitude of the chair, see that the thighs remain parallel to the floor, level with the hips, and that the knees bend at a 90-degree angle or more. When positioning the arm to correctly reach the computer mouse, see that the wrist rests in a natural position, level with the forearm, which should feel comfortable while resting on the desk. A soft wrist cushion will help reduce stress on the arm over time. Center the torso in front of your monitor and maintain an upright sitting position, as slouching causes an enormous amount of strain on the back, neck and shoulder muscles and results in detrimental long-term pain symptoms.

Many people will neglect to consume enough water during the day. This is most evident at work, when water is often traded out for coffee, which dehydrates the body even faster. Remember to drink plenty of water, starting a routine of grabbing a large water bottle or using exercise breaks to fetch fresh water from a filtered fountain or pitcher stored in the office fridge. Keeping the body properly hydrated not only ensures better overall physical health, but is connected with improving focus, mood and stamina when focusing on work projects for long periods of time, and can contribute to healthier skin, hair, eyes and sleep patterns. Proper hydration will also help control the appetite, improving one's diet. These factors and more contribute to a better way to treat the body while sitting at a desk for 40 hours a week.

Abrams Chiropractic discusses basic treatments and responds to common misconceptions about chiropractic procedures and specialists

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/12/2014 -- Abrams Chiropractic understands that many potential patients who could stand to benefit from professional chiropractic treatment in Seattle may find that some common misconceptions about these procedures cause reluctance toward some life-improving care. Chiropractic therapy combines a century of science to promote full-body wellness that starts by adjusting the bones and muscles of the body that cause strain on the nervous system when daily life, stress and diet result in poor posture, muscle strain and joint fatigue. Abrams Chiropractic has developed a handy guide for the person unsure about what the practice does and how it can benefit many chronic conditions, including pain caused by injury, accidents or lifestyle.

A chiropractic adjustment is an accurate, physical thrust that specifically and gently aligns the spine back into its natural, healthy position. This procedure, when performed properly by a professional, will not result in a "cracking" sound. Occasionally, the patient may hear a slight "popping" sound, which is the result of internal gasses being released as the body is returned back into its natural place. Like many other medical professionals, chiropractors complete many years of education before becoming certified to practice. Prospective chiropractors must complete a minimum of three years of undergraduate work with a heavy emphasis on the basic sciences before acceptance into a five-year chiropractic college. A medical doctor (MD) and a chiropractor (DC) both receive their degrees from government accredited medical schools or chiropractic colleges before they are licensed to practice.

Every patient has a different reason for visiting a chiropractor. Many come for occasional pain relief, or as a factor in a developed fitness regimen. Professional preventative chiropractic care can help reduce stress and prevent chronic aches and pains as we age, just as regular dentist visits can help promote long-lasting dental health. Adjustments are gently done by trained, educated professionals, leaving patients with a clam, relaxed feeling following treatment. Comfort and painlessness are the goals in proper chiropractic treatment, and patients should always leave feeling better than they felt coming in.
