That is exactly the inherent dangerous mindset that leads to fall related injuries. Most people think that... New Guideline Says Simplest Treatment For Vertigo Is Also The Best The next time the world starts spinning, Patti will know exactly how to make it stop. But two months ago, when the 50-year-old Ocean County resident woke up spinning with vertigo for the last time, she had no idea what to do. "I felt like I was drunk," she said. "I couldn't stand up. I kept falling over."... More On Headaches If you have a headache, you're not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Headaches comprise the top three reasons why one goes to the doctor. Some are occasional, some frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea... Medicine and Dogma Despite the multitude of dramatic success stories associated with chiropractic medicine over the past 200 years, the profession is ridden with myths, wives tails and many unfortunate beliefs, or as it may be, disbelief's... Headaches The topic of headaches is vast as there are many causes as well as types of headaches, causing most doctors to shudder at the mere presentation of a headache patient. Nonetheless, there remains hope for many with proper diagnosis and treatment... Falls can be very serious Falls can be very serious Ø Falls are the leading cause of both unintentional injury and death in persons 65 and over... Dystonia Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder affecting more than 300,000 people in North America alone.

Dizziness Is The Third Most Frequent Reason People Seek Medical Attention… Right up there with headaches and back pain, as the first two reasons which people seek medical attention. Invariably the standard medical treatment approach for vertigo and dizziness is to prescribe meclizine, (Antivert), a vestibular suppressant drug, which doesn't work. Here is why... Dizziness and Quality of Life For over twenty years in my practice, I have personally witnessed the impact of helping people recover from various disorders, not just in terms of their health, but also in their ability to improve their quality of life.

Dizziness and Falls Current statistics show that approximately 13 million Americans over the age of 65 suffer from some type of dizziness or balance problems that significantly interfere with their lives. Consider that half of all falls among the elderly are the result of untreated or mistreated vestibular problems, (vertigo)... Chiropractic Neurologist Gives Patients Another Option "How do you thank someone who basically hands you back your life?" This is the question asked by Andres, who at a mere 20 years of age, suffered with ongoing vertigo which no one could diagnose much less effectively treat, and who "saw more specialists than there should exist, and was prescribed more medications than you could shake a stick at"... Chiropractic Neurologist Gives Patients Another Option II I saw a young woman in my office this week, who presented to see if I could help her with her vertigo and dizziness, which she has been suffering with for several years... Against logic there is no armor like ignorance Quoted from Laurence J. Peter, US educator & writer (1919 - 1988), one must wonder if he somehow anticipated our current healthcare system. We are living in an age where it is deemed ok to suggest prescription drugs on TV which can cure all of your woes, despite all of those nasty side effects...

Accidents Happen Well, I suppose that I must apologize for my most unexpected hiatus as I now have many readers anxious to read my weekly column on various health issues. As ironic as it may be, as I run a rather successful balance center, the reason for my hiatus was from a fall... "Your Problem Is In Your Head, Just Learn To Live With It" Unfortunately, these words are heard by far too many people. Although this may be true in that the problem really is in your head, (anatomically), one would anticipate that with the myriad of information on brain based disorders available today, that a far more specific diagnosis could be rendered, or, that...
