Sciatica Treated with Adjustments and Massage Therapy

We know that losing weight can be a long process, full of pitfalls and setbacks. That's why we don't advocate one single diet for every patient. We use nutritional counseling to help each patient discover the food plan that's right for each individual need. There is no one perfect method to weight loss. It's a matter of finding out what works for your body and keeping at it until you reach your goal weight.

Weight Loss Tips

Losing weight at a sustainable level, which means taking it off and keeping it off, is a twofold process. It's not all diet and it's not all exercising. The people who get healthy and stay that way combine both practices into a lifestyle they can keep up for the rest of their lives. This means sitting down and planning out exactly what you are willing to do in order to lose weight.

Invest in our nutritional counseling to develop a food program that fits in with your life. A balanced diet that includes all the nutrients you body needs, as well as the foods you really like to eat, is the best way to be on your way to losing weight.

Finding strength, flexibility and cardio exercises that you enjoy are also an important part of the goal to lose weight. Sometimes exercising during your diet program can cause muscle aches, back pain and neck pain. This is due to unused parts of the body being put to use for the first time in a long time. Until your body gets used to moving around at this rate, visit our chiropractor for advice on safe levels of exercise, as well as workout plans and warnings against some forms of exercise.

If you're a beginner to the world of working out, it does you no good to go overboard and injure yourself. Work with the doctor to develop a plan that gradually increases in length of time and intensity for the best results.

Everyone's weight loss journey is different, and we want to make yours a success. What can we do to help you along the road to a healthier lifestyle?

Here at Cornerstone Chiropractic, we are pleased to serve as your local Everett chiropractic choice. One of the physical conditions that our patients have been asking us about quite often is fibromyalgia. Everett chiropractor, Dr. Michael Ilyankoff and his associate chiropractor and wife Dr. Lisa Ilyankoff, both treat fibromyalgia and its associated problems, such as back pain often and create different treatment plans for patients to better manage their pain.

Fibromyalgia is a disease that affects the muscles and connective tissues in the body. It can cause pain in nearly every area of the body, including back pain, and also causes patients to become easily fatigued. It can also bring on headaches, shoulder pain, neck pain, and hip pain.

It is not yet certain what causes fibromyalgia to happen in some people and not in others, but it is possible that genetics plays a role, as do stress levels. Certain neurotransmitters in the brain may also be connected to fibromyalgia as well. Depression may play a factor in the development of fibromyalgia. People who were in traumatic accidents, such as a car accident in which they suffered damage to the neck, may be at higher risk for development of chronic pain

Fibromyalgia: Helping to Ease the Pain

No matter the reason for your fibromyalgia, our team here at Cornerstone Chiropractic is here to stop it from stopping you. The fatigue and pain that this disease causes can be truly debilitating, and we understand how it may have stopped you from living a normal life. Maybe you have not been able to enjoy time with family, enjoy a simple walk, to even get out of bed at times. Painful symptoms can be addressed and treated with the help of our chiropractic doctors. We will use a combination of techniques, including very gentle spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and wellness counseling to help you overcome pain and get back to life!

A well-rounded lifestyle is one that involves an integrative approach to your healing. At Cornerstone Chiropractic, our Everett chiropractor and our team will offer you the latest massage therapy techniques to advance and align all of your wellness concerns. Because postural alignment affects all aspects of the body, one of the most effective complements to your care here at our clinic is the use of massage therapy. Many people are familiar with seeing a massage therapist to assist with neck or back pain. Our therapist can help relieve your pain while working closely with your chiropractor to address your total body needs.

Massage Therapy - the Natural Complement to
Your Chiropractic Care

Our Everett chiropractors strive to provide postural alignment by re-establishing communication between your nervous system and the rest of the body. Whether you are experiencing an acute or chronic health concern, when there is an occurrence of subluxation, several adjustments are often necessary to influence re-alignment. Your spinal column isn't the only part of you that needs to be moving however. This is where massage therapy techniques can accentuate your healing process.

Our muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons all communicate with the spine as it repositions and realigns. Massage elicits its effects by manipulating soft tissue to enhance function by creating a circulatory, strengthening and detoxifying affect on the entire body. Metabolic waste that often contributes to soreness and inflammation is greatly reduced, allowing for increased range of motion in the spinal column, often resulting in a more beneficial and effective adjustment for you.

You are likely wondering exactly what massage therapy can be used for. With widespread applications, patients find relief from headaches, back pain, neck pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, fibromyalgia, sports related and musculoskeletal concerns, digestive issues, help with focus and concentration, hormonal concerns and much more.
