Come visit my new site at elementalmedicinepdx.com.Chiropractic medicine is a hands-on form of health care designed to help your body heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
Chiropractors in the state of Oregon are Primary Care Physicians that have received an extensive doctoral level education that
trains them to recognize and diagnose a wide variety of health conditions. This means that for most people, a referral is not necessary to receive care from a Chiropractic Physician unless your insurance policy states otherwise.
Some conditions may be treated solely by the Doctor of Chiropractic, while other conditions may be co-managed with other health care professionals. More serious pathologies can require the referral to a specialist if medications or more traditionally allopathic interventions are necessary before Chiropractic care can be administered.
Wellness Exams
Just not feeling as good as you would like to?Experience how Chiropractic and Massage can help you move easier, sleep better and generally manage stress in your life by removing tension in your joints and muscles and freeing up the circulation through your nerves and blood vessels. Many people report that regular "tune-ups" help them to get through their days and nights with more ease. Some also find that they have been able to reduce the use of over-the-counter medications that they use for pain or to aid sleep.
Starting a new exercise regime?
Let the sound foundation behind Chiropractic medicine improve how your body moves and functions. The human body enjoys homeostasis, or maintaining the state that it is in, so even when you try and make changes for the better, there is often a period of discomfort as the body tries to adapt. Chiropractic care during those times of transition may be just what your body needs to more quickly and efficiently help you achieve your goals of better health. Many studies have shown that performing cardiovascular exercise for at least 30 minutes per day at least 5 days a week can help with blood glucose regulation and high blood pressure. Don't let the aches and pains of change stand in your way, let Chiropractic help you today.
Injury Care
Whether you hurt your back while gardening or you have taken up an extreme sport, injuries happen. In the absence of broken bones and severely torn tissue, Chiropractic is one of the most effective means for getting your body back into alignment and you back to doing what you enjoy. Many people have gone to their medical doctors for relief through prescription medications or have even participated in physical therapy but are still in pain. Dr. Ebling is determined to find treatments and exercises that decrease your pain and discomfort, so don't give up just yet.Rehabilitation
Have you undergone a surgery or experienced a traumatic event that required a period of limited
mobility? If so, some of the muscles of the area surrounding the injury may have atrophied or are no longer as strong and quick to act as they once were. When this inactivity or injury happens, even after the tissues that were operated on or damaged have healed, the body still may experience pain and weakness until proper firing sequences and compensation patterns are addressed. Dr. Ebling will assess and evaluate the core muscles that support your spine as well as weakened extremities to customize specific and essential exercises to get you up and moving.Worker's Compensation Claims
If you are seriously injured, first seek help at the nearest Emergency Room or Urgent Care Center and always disclose where the injury occurred. Beyond urgent care, state law in Oregon says that you can see the medical practitioner of your choosing. This includes Chiropractic Physicians. Who better to help you recover from a musculoskeletal injury than the experts on joints, bones and muscles. Like Physical Therapists, Chiropractic Physicians utilize electro-therapies to decrease your pain while increasing your healing time and are highly trained in many forms of rehabilitative exercises. Unlike Physical Therapists, a Doctor of Chiropractic qualifies under Oregon Law as an attending physician, meaning no referral is typically necessary to receive care. Exceptions to this apply if your company has enrolled in a managed care organization, in which case you should have received a list of participating doctors that you must choose from. For full information, visit the Oregon Worker's Compensation website or to download the necessary forms.Auto Injuries / Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you were injured in an accident while driving or riding in a passenger vehicle, a Chiropractic Physician might be just the Doctor that you need.
If your injuries are serious and/or life threatening, always seek emergency medical attention first. Once emergency care is completed, or if you walked away with no signs of injury but are experiencing discomfort, make an appointment today.
Whiplash is very common in even slow speed crashes and
if left untreated it can leave people with chronic pain and limited mobility. Many other areas of the body, like the low back, are also often injured in auto accidents and the sooner you receive care the sooner you will be back to feeling like yourself again.
The auto insurance of the person at fault is responsible for your care and much of chiropractic is covered with no out of pocket expenses to you.
In the absence of broken bones or severely torn tissue, Chiropractic Medicine is very effective at realigning the neck and back after an impact and decreasing the spasm and inflammation so common in car accidents. There are alternatives to muscle relaxers and pain medications, you do not have to suffer!
Repetitive Stress Injuries
Many people that have jobs or hobbies that require fine motor skills or using the same part of the body day in and day out can develop nagging aches and pains that change how they perform. Dr. Ebling can give you the tools to modify how you do things so you can do them better andlonger with less pain and discomfort. She will likely address the muscles and joints that you use the most to assess them for dysfunction prior to what you perceive as injury. She is also likely to address seemingly remote ares of your body that are critical to your overall ability to function.Red Cross Workplace CPR / AED and First Aid
