Bulging Disc Relief: West Hartford's Unique Solution
Bad Disc, Slipped disc (discs never slip LOL), bulging, herniated(broke), compressed(squashed), dessicated (dried up),degenerated (damaged)are all words used to label a vertebral disc outside of the normal range. A damaged disc, especially if it's not a result from an acute injury, usually goes unnoticed or barely any Secondary Conditions which you may know as symptoms, such as; back pain, muscle spasm, sciatica,or muscle tension. Similar to heart disease (which you do not feel the impending doom), a structurally damaged disc is usually not felt UNTIL enough damage has accumulated, causing Secondary Conditions, in this example low back pain.
What most accept as the conventional ways to help damaged discs include:
Advanced Chiropractic Is West Hartford's Unique Solution
Unique because, we focus on the abnormal frame work of your body, which is your spine. We look for what's called a Structural Shift, which is an abnormal shift of your vertebrae (spinal bones)outside the normal range. No one has a perfect spine and we all know that there are normal ranges for blood pressure, eyesight, weight, cholesterol, even body temperature. It just makes sense that when your spine is outside normal range, damage is often the end result.
As a result of a Structural Shift of your spine, this can result in;
As your spine is abnormally shifted beyond it's center of balance, it creates a continuous strain on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and disc. This stress results in the damage to the discs in your spine, which over time if not detected and then not corrected will degenerate to the point of causing the Secondary Condition of back pain, bulging disc, etc.
What does Advanced Chiropractic look for, what indicates a Structural Shift?
There are four signs that are clear indicators of a Structural Shift. These indicators are not related to age or genetics. They are a result of physical trauma, repetitive trauma and chemical or emotional stress not adapted to well that have disrupted the normal function of the spine. They include:
There is much more to our unique plan, which is customized to the individual patient, based on our Structural Corrective Examination findings. As well as complementary recommendations, your homework that you do on your own to enhance what we do in our office. Have a GREAT Day

West Hartford Sciatica Relief
Sciatica is a Secondary Condition, which you may know as a symptom that some folks suffer with that is characterized by a deep pain in the buttocks that can travel down the back of the leg and in some cases reaching the toes. Sciatica is also associated with weakness in the leg and unremitting pain with numbness, pins and needles. A pain in the butt is an understatement.
As a Structural Chiropractor our unique focus is different than conventional chiropractors or other health care providers, so a good place to start is to define conventional chiropractic.
Conventional chiropractors are good folks and are good at their focus of relieving pain, increasing movement and decreasing muscle spasm. Before I get into the significant difference between a conventional chiropractor and a Structural Corrective Chiropractor, you need to know a few Myths and Facts.
As a Structural Chiropractor we DO NOT use aggressive spinal manipulations, we DO NOT have you come in forever and we Do Not claim to treat everything. We also do not offer physical therapy services, we refer out to a PT, we prefer to focus on what we are excellent at, which is Structural Correction of the spine.
We look for a Structural Shift in the spine, this is a Primary Condition which is abnormal and leads to degeneration/damage of your spinal bones and discs. Just like normal blood pressure, there is a normal range for the spine - not perfect, no one has a perfect spine.
When you have a Structural Shift of the spine this can cause Secondary Conditions of low back pain and Sciatica. When your spine is shifted outside normal range this puts excessive pressure on your spinal bones, discs, ligaments, nerves and muscles. Just like a house with an unlevel foundation, soon everything sitting on the abnormal foundation will be affected, creaky floors, stuck doors, etc.
As a Structural Chiropractor (the only one in West Hartford) we look for tell tale indicators of an abnormal Structural shift. They are:
Most folks of West Hartford, try and manage Sciatica by doing one or more of the more common approaches, such as:
What we do at Advanced Chiropractic...
My goal is to direct your spine to what's considered normal. By doing so, this will relieve pressure on the discs, which will subsequently will relieve pressure on the nerves, thus relieving your low back pain.
This is how correcting abnormal spinal structure will improve low back pain. Once we have the normal weight bearing curves in your low back - this takes the harsh forces of gravity and evenly distributes the forces through out the spine, which in turn relieves the pressure off the disc and nerves. This allows your low back pain to be relieved.
Our plan of care is based on what we find on the structural examination and is customized for each patient and their condition - this is not cookie cutter and will require certain complementary recommendations to enhance your care in our office.

Back Pain and Bad Posture: What's The Link?
The key is to combine Structural Correction (enhancing the spine and its ligament connections to normal range) and Strength Training (cross-fit, boot-camps, personal training or conventional gyms).
To many personal trainers and conventional chiropractors believe that folks just need one or the other, as a Structural Chiropractor (the only one in West Hartford and the Farmington Valley) I am here to make a strong declarative statement that is not ambiguous, "You need Structural Correction with Complementary Recommendations and Strength Training".
If you don't have both you will always have half the solution and therefore half the results, incomplete and this will cause you chronic recurring back pain to rear it's ugly head over and over again. This causes you to jump from one temporary solution to the next temporary solution, until drastic measures are necessary, because the "once in a while" back or neck pain has turned into debilitating pain requiring surgery.
Conventional chiropractors work to relieve pain, get you moving better and decrease muscle spasm and do a fine job, just like physical therapists. Personal trainers work to improve strength, stability and cardiovascular improvement, all worth while and necessary.
Structural Correction is a branch of chiropractic that focuses on bringing your spine back to within normal range to correct Secondary Conditions as; Poor Posture, back pain, neck pain, headaches. It's easy to understand, Structural Correction focuses on the ligaments and normal structure of the vertebrae (spine).
For example, think of your houses foundation, if the foundation is off a few inches, what do you think the Secondary Conditions that would be a result of an abnormal foundation? Cracks in the dry wall, squeaky floors, window and doors not opening properly - of course. Now, some would put a patch on the dry wall, a nail in the floors and wd-40 on the window frames, yet you and I know that the underlying problem is the foundation and the abnormal frame work.
What would you do?
Fix the foundation or do the temporary patch up jobs?
Most reasonable people would fix the underlying problem, the foundation - this is Structural Chiropractic in a nutshell. Correction vs. Temporary Patch.
Personal Trainers, Physical Therapist and Conventional Chiropractors are not concerned with bringing your spine back to with in normal range, it's just not their focus.
Structural Correction has one focus correct your spine back to within normal range to help relieve, improve Secondary Conditions, such as low back pain, neck pain, arm pain, sciatica, and headaches including Migraines. And then teach you how to protect your spine once it's corrected.
How do I correct an abnormal spine?
We use specific spinal correction utilizing two different instruments, Structural Rehabilitation with our Remodeling tables and Complementary Recommendations for you to do the other 23 hours of the day you are not in our office. Our focus eliminates the need for aggressive spinal manipulations, having you come in "forever" and we are not good at a "jack of all trades practice" that is why we only focus on Structural Correction.
Mention this blog post for a complimentary consultation, which is a conversation not a commitment and $75 Off Our Complete Structural Corrective Chiropractic Examination, which includes a full series of Structural Corrective Radiography's with Spinal Analysis, Digital Photographic Structural Correction Assessment, Laser Guided In-fared Heat Analysis and Chiropractic, Orthopedic & Neurological Tests with a customized written report, which also includes first day service with Structural Rehabilitation if necessary.
Have a GREAT Day!

Degenerated (Damaged) Low Back Discs: Why Back Pain Becomes Chronic?
Folks of West Hartford, It's Easy To Understand, remember back in High School biology class, you probably saw a human skeleton in the corner (maybe even decorated for the holidays). As you looked closer at the skeleton, you saw many bones that look very organized. Even the spine (back bone) had curves, a large curve in the low back with a gradual curve in the mid back and finally a curve in the neck.
Think SLINKY (more than a wonderful toy).
The SLINKY is flexible, bendy and can stretch very far from end to end. The reason why the SLINKY can do all it's entertaining tricks is because of it's CURVES. The curves provide the flexibility. Your spine MUST have NORMAL STRUCTURE aka normal curves to be flexible.
Stiff as a board or Flexible as flower?
When you lose your normal structure of your spine, your spine becomes less flexible causing degeneration(damage) in your spinal discs and degeneration (damage)to your vertebrae (spinal bones).
This degeneration of your discs and bones leads to chronic low back pain, neck pain, upper back pain and headaches just to name a few.
At Advanced Chiropractic, we want you to know that we are not a conventional chiropractor, so let me explain the difference.
"Conventional Chiropractors" have three goals;
Unlike conventional chiropractors, here at Advanced Chiropractic, we focus on Structural Correction by utilizing, specific spinal corrections, structural remodeling tables, and complementary recommendations in an effort to correct abnormal structural shifts of the spine.
When it comes to normal, we're not expecting anyone to be perfect. However, if your head is displaced more than 30mm (Objective Indicator) beyond what's considered acceptable, you have Anterior Head Syndrome a abnormal structural shift of the spine. Your head shifting forward is no different than your car being forced out of alignment, foundation of your house sinking on one side by just a couple of inches.
How do you think your car will ride, and what damage will be done to your house because of the foundation? This abnormal shift in your spine causes these Secondary Conditions, for example degenerated discs, low back pain, neck pain, sciatic and headaches.
Now, would you just put a nail in the squeaky floor or a new tire on the car or would dig a little deeper to correct the Mal-alignment of the car and correct the UN-balance in your foundation? What would you folks do first if it were your home or your car?
You would get someone to fix the foundation and correct the car alignment, because you KNOW if that is NOT done you will have these Secondary Conditions... back pain, degeneration of the discs, degeneration of the bones, etc.
If you have low back pain, then of course we will be looking to see if you have the normal curve in the low back, if your pelvis is level and if you have Anterior Head Syndrome. All these abnormalities put harsh pressures on the discs and cause pain.
Indicators
There are four signs that are clear indicators of a Structural Shift. These indicators are not related to age or genetics. They are a result of physical trauma, chemical toxins (processed foods, chemicals, etc.) and unadapted stress (we all have stress, this is normal, yet when not coped with this becomes a problem) that have disrupted the normal function of the spine. They include
Structural Examination
We take Structural Corrective Radiography's, most conventional chiropractors do not (because it is not necessary for their goals) - these films will determine the presence of degenerated bones and discs as well as show Anterior Head Syndrome and will show any abnormal structural shift in the curves.
Then we use a Structural Anaylsis Machine that will indentify abnormal loading of the spine (unbalanced) and then we use Digital Structural Photography, which will confirm any Anterior Head Syndrome and other structural shifts of the spine.
More than one way to cook an egg
We are not your only option, there are many and we only offer Structural Correction. During your consult we will go over in detail what all your options are and what exactly we do in our office to help you.
Our goal for you
Is to direct your spine to what's considered normal. By doing so, this will relieve pressure on the discs, which subsequently will relieve pressure on the nerves, thus improving or correcting your abnormal structural shift.
So, if you have low back pain, when we move your lumbar spine (low back) into a normal range this relieves the pressure to your discs and nerves which will then relieve your pain.
If this makes sense to you, then call our office at 860.523.5465 and schedule for your complimentary consult or our group presentation called, Chiropractic:101.
When you schedule for either we will have a Gift Certificate waiting for your for $50.00 off our Structural Examination and will also include our Structural Correction with any Structural Rehab. This is a thank you for reading our blog.
Have a GREAT Day!

Sciatica: A Different Approach
Sciatica, which many people experience as a pain in the back side with traveling pain that can reach the toes. Besides the pain, many have numbness and weakness in their legs - not pleasant. Even if the pain goes away on it's own, it often will come back a few weeks to a few months later, especially with people who have chronic dull low back stiffness and occasional pain.
You have options...
Common solutions people have tried, include:
This is what we look for when evaluating your spine. Everyone realizes that there are normal ranges for every body function, from eye sight, blood pressure to body temperature. Your spine has a normal range, when your spine is outside normal range this places abnormal pressures on your bones, discs, ligaments, muscles and nerves. Look at the below picture, the left is normal and the right is abnormal - see the difference. Can you see how reasonable it is to say, if your spine is outside normal range then Secondary Conditions like sciatica are likely to occur.
The indicators that shows a Primary Structural Problem are:
Degenerated (Damaged vertebrae)
Degenerated (Damaged disc)
Nerve Impingement Syndrome
Anterior Head Syndrome
Muscle tension or Spasm
Now, if you have just ONE indicator then you have a structural problem and the more indicators you have of course the worse your condition has become. Also the longer you wait to correct your spine the worse the problem becomes - even if you feel okay. You DO NOT feel DEGENERATION or Damage.
Our Solution is to improve your inner frame work using our Specific Spinal Instrument Corrections, our remodeling tables for Structural Rehab and Complementary Recommendations to enhance what we do for you in the office for the other 23 hours of the day you are not in my office.
You see when your spine is normal range, then your body can deal with all the harsh pressures adequately, normally - like your body should. This gives your body the opportunity to heal from the damage and prevent future damage.
We are not good for just a pulled muscle, or Physical Therapy services. We are fantastic for correcting the structure of your spine and we will have a detailed, written, customized plan of care to maximize your results.
Have a GREAT Day!

You have options...
Common solutions people have tried, include:
- Doing nothing
- Over the counter medications
- Trip to your GP for prescription meds, usually anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers
- Conventional Chiropractic and/or Physical Therapy (they do the same thing basically, help with pain, how you move and spasm - good folks and I have no doubt they accomplish their goal)
- Nerve injections
- Surgeries
- More surgeries
- Pain management with pain pills
