Simple Test Tells You If You Should Be Seeing Your Bellevue Chiropractor.

One question that I hear all the time from my patients is “how does my wife or husband know if they should be seeing a chiropractor?” There are multiple ways to know if you should be seeing a chiropractor and not all of them have to do with pain and discomfort. I have developed a test for the neck to determine if you are a candidate for chiropractic care called the “head turn test”.

Bellevue Chiropractor Recounts His Adventure At Sea On The Carnival Splendor

If you have ever planned a vacation you know the excitement that is involved with preparation. Planning on gourmet meals, lots of sunshine and the Mexican Rivera, Dr. Michael Weir of Bellevue WA and his wife embarked on the Carnival Splendor on November 7th 2010. To their horror that is not what ended up happening. Instead they ended up “dead in the water” with no electricity, no toilets, and cold food. “We had been planning this trip for 9 months and were very excited to go on vacation with friends”, said Michael Weir, owner of Back in Action Chiropractic in Bellevue WA.

Bellevue chiropractor has an answer to your TMJ.

Life is stressful. If you live, work and play in Bellevue Washington as I do you especially know this to be true. I was just driving in downtown Bellevue yesterday and the traffic made me tense and irritated. In our modern world stress comes in many forms, from job stress to family stress. All this stress is starting to takes its toll on our bodies and I see the signs of this every day in my chiropractic office. One problem that has a cause of stress is TMJ.

Can Balance Tell Us Anything About The Health Of Your Brain?

As a Bellevue chiropractor one of the tools that I use to assess my patients nervous system is to have them stand on one leg. The balance center of your brain is an important part of your brain. Why don’t you give it a try? Stand up, close booth eyes, and while standing as still as possible lift one leg up off of the ground and stand on one leg as long as you can. Normal function is roughly 20 to 30 seconds. Now try it with the other foot, see if it easier or harder. How did you do?

The Plastic Bellevue Chiropractor

This morning I was discussing with one of my patients just how adaptable the human body is to stress. As I always say, this is a good thing cause if we didn’t adapt to stress (be it physical, chemical or emotional) we would all be either laid up in bed or dead! In neurology we call this process of adaptability “plasticity”. It is the ability of the nervous system, and the entire body, to change. This is why, when a Microsoft employee sits at the computer all day, they have a stiff neck at night. The body literally changes, like a piece of plastic, to the position that the person is sitting in.

How Does A Chiropractor Get You Out Of Pain?

I am lucky enough to be a second generation chiropractor, as my dad and two uncles are chiropractors. It has been a lot of fun to watch the profession progress over the last 30 plus years. From the very beginning of chiropractic we have known it works, all you have to look at to see this is the results we get. The question that has been asked many times is “why”? In the last 15 to 20 we have begun to find the answer to the why. The answer comes in the form of research on the nervous system. Through this research we have developed a beautiful picture of why chiropractic helps us get out of pain.
