Pinched Nerve Neck

HELP – I’ve Pinched A Nerve In My Neck!

Think you’ve pinched a nerve in your neck? Chances are you probably haven’t. But you have done something and the chiropractors at Bayside Chiropractic are here to help. The term "pinched nerve" is often used to describe the sensation of pain, numbness, or tingling that occurs when a nerve is compressed or irritated. However, the nerve itself is not actually "pinched" in the traditional sense of the word. Now that...

Should I See a Chiropractor for Scoliosis?

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is more complicated: your chiropractor may not be able to “fix” your scoliosis. Depending on the type of your scoliosis, some respond well to manual treatment, other’s may require a surgical treatment. But orthopaedic surgeons only tend to operate on the most severe cases. Chiropractic treatment can help relieve pain, restore movement, and slow further progression. This makes it a great option...

All About Rib Sprain

Rib Sprain is one of those tricky conditions. It’s not talked about all that much and is not always the first thing that comes to mind when you start experiencing symptoms. In fact, we often find that patients arrive for chiropractic treatment thinking they have something else. But if you have it, it needs to be treated. Rib sprains can have serious implications for your health and quality of life....

Your guide to Spondyl-related conditions

Spondyl this and spondyl that… Spondylosis, Spondylolysis, Spondylitis, Spondylolisthesis, Spondyloarthropathy… What is this word spondyl? Whatever it means, it sounds a bit scary, particularly since you already know that you're in pain! But knowledge is power so let’s see if we can help you understand what it means. Like so many medical terms, it comes from Greek. Spondyl just means vertebrae. So, all these words simply relate to the spine. But...

What is Hypermobility and What Should I Do About It?

What is Hypermobility and What Should I Do About It?  It sounds a bit scary, but hypermobility (aka being ‘double-jointed’) is actually pretty common and not normally something to worry about. In fact, it’s estimated that one in ten people have some degree of hypermobility in their joints; that is, they have more than the usual range of motion in one, some, or many of their joints. And for most, their...

What Is “Tech Neck” Anyway?

You’ve probably heard this phrase bandied about a bit lately. But what does it mean? It’s a new name for an old phenomenon. But, as chiropractors, we can confirm that it’s more prevalent now than ever. When the head is pushed forward, straining beyond the shoulders and past the balance point where it should naturally rest, it creates tension through the neck, shoulders and back. Headaches, muscle pain, tenderness and...

All About TMJ Dysfunction

Headaches? Grinding your teeth with stress? A weird clicking noise when you open your mouth? A locked jaw? Or ringing ears, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, or swollen, painful cheeks? It’s possible that TMJ dysfunction is the cause.   What is the TMJ? The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are hinge-like joints connecting your skull and your jaw. These joints allow for the extraordinary range of motion necessary for eating and talking. The jaw moves up...

Can the Timing of Meals Help You Lose Weight?
