Stress and Chiropractic Care

Here at Robinson Family Chiropractic we provide chiropractic treatment for many types of injuries, trauma, and health conditions. One of these conditions includes an everyday occurrence that can silently wreak chaos on your body: STRESS! There are two main types of stress: acute and chronic.

Acute stress is the most common and typically a "fight or flight" response to a situtation. In the best sense it can be a thrilling ride on a roller coaster or down a ski hill. Most often, however, it is associated with everyday situations such as stress over a job deadline or test, or forgetting to lock the back door or do the laundry. When acute stress becomes consistent, perhaps on a daily basis, it is known as episodic acute stress.

 

Chronic stress results from more severe situations: loss of a job, unhappy family life, financial worries. Chronis stress may also be a result of lingering post traumatic stress, constant anxiety or being  "a worrier".

 

Regardless of stress levels, there are many negative effects on the body, which Dr. Richard Robinson and Dr. Nicholas Cone focus on correcting. These include:

• Depression
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Hair loss
• Headaches and migraines
• Insomnia

We offer various types of chiropractic treatments to help treat stress. A common treatment offered for stress is with adjustments, which includes proper alignment of the spine for better overall health. Chiropractic massage and therapeutic exercise are also offered here at Robinson Family Chiropractic, and can do wonders to relieve stress. Patients benefit by getting chiropractic care for stress as it provides overall health to help with other issues, not just the stress they are dealing with.

Auto Accident & Whiplash

Auto accidents have a tendency to not only cause trauma from the incident, but also chronic pain. Many of our patients come to us after the accident because, regardless of painkillers they are taking, the pain just won’t subside. The patients that visit us at Robinson Family Chiropractic after an accident most often describe the following injuries: whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and occasionally pain or discomfort in other areas of the body due to the impact. Sometimes however, the effects of an impact can hide for days, weeks, even years. Therefore even if our patients don’t feel pain after the accident, we still ask them to see us for a check up to mitigate the pain and any long term residual effects from the impact.

 

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries patients experience after an automobile accident. It is also one of the more common injuries that can hide and wreak havoc on your body long term. Whiplash occurs when the head is whipped forward, then backward in a rapid motion. It can cause severe headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain. Along with other chiropractic techniques and diagnostic tools, we use massage and spinal adjustments to realign the spine and help massage connective tissues in the upper back and neck.

 

If you've been involved in an auto accident, be sure to schedule an appointment with Dr. Richard Robinson and Dr. Nicolas Cone at our Rolling Meadows or Algonquin offices to discuss possible auto accident treatments.
