Based upon the belief that disorders of the musculoskeletal directly affect a person’s overall health through the nervous system, chiropractics seeks to diagnose, treat and prevent illness and pain. Chiropractors manipulate the spine and other joints in order to achieve relief of symptoms, often incorporating a variety of soft tissue modalities as well. Extremely popular as an alternative to Western based treatments, chiropractics is often chosen as a way to address chronic low back pain and other complaints.

The practice of chiropractics was initiated by D.D. Palmer in the late 1890s. It was later expanded by his son, B.J. Palmer. Both believed that all disease was caused by blockages in the movement of “innate intelligence” a type of life force they felt represented a divine presence in people. Today, two chiropractors fall into two camps, those who follow the original path; these individuals are termed “straights.” The other camp, “mixers”, are more inclined to combine techniques from other modalities, such as massage, nutrition, acupuncture and such, in their treatment plans.

Well established in many countries, chiropractic medicine is the third largest health care profession. Standards of training continue to rise, with most schools now only accepting applicants with a Bachelor’s degree in hand. Evidential research has resulted in inconclusive results; however, there is a body of studies which indicate the use of spinal manipulation in cases of low back pain can certainly be helpful.

Your intake visit to the chiropractor will take about an hour. During that time a complete evaluation and history interview will be conducted. The goal is to determine what caused your discomfort and if there are any movements which exacerbate your pain. Laboratory tests, MRIs and x-rays may be a part of the process. Some chiropractors will begin treatment immediately while others wait until the next appointment. A treatment plan will be drawn up and may include soft tissue modalities, heat and cold therapy, exercise and more.

Perhaps the best source when searching for a good chiropractor is a friend or family member. Barring that you can call the state licensing agency and ask for some local practitioners. If you suffer from low back pain, a chiropractor may be a good ally in your path to recovery.

With energy bills going up all the time, everyone seems to be looking for ideas on how to cut their heating bills. The goal of most consumers is to save money and cut energy costs and they are looking for solid ideas they can do themselves to get results right away.

One basic recommendation is to hire a heating contractor to review your heating system and discuss any issues you have in heating your home. In addition, there are some things you can do to help save some money. These ideas include insulating your windows with heavy curtains or drapes, use passive solar heating to keep your home warm when the sun is out, and keeping household drafts to a minimum by using caulking on windows and doors.

There are many other ways to save on your heating costs. First consider your household appliances, fireplace, and use of space heaters. These can all heat rooms for a period of time. A good idea is to keep common areas, where more people congregate, heated by the main furnace during the day.

During the night consider using the electric fireplace to warm the living areas, like living room and den, where you’re lounging during the night. While some people are worried about the use of space heaters, they are extremely safe when used according the guidelines. Space heaters are also very portable and can move with you from room to room, only heating one specific area at a time.

There are many ways to reduce your monthly heating bill on your own. However, if you really want to see long term savings you will want to consult a qualified HVAC contractor who will conduct a furnace audit. These professionals will help you pick just the right kind of furnace and give you tips on keeping your home warm even through winter’s coldest months.
