What is CBD Exactly?

What is CBD Exactly?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

Many people are seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals with harsh side effects — medicine more in synch with natural processes. By tapping into how we function biologically on a deep level, CBD can provide relief for chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, gastrointestinal issues just to name a few.

Extensive scientific research – much of it sponsored by the U.S. government – and mounting anecdotal accounts from patients and physicians highlight CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions.

Do You Have A Senior Pet Suffering From Joint Pain? We Can Help!

The state of veterinary medicine has advanced significantly in recent years and thanks to the availability of more effective medicine, many pets are living longer than they would have years ago. With age however, comes the onset of problems such as arthritis and other forms of pain and inflammation. Conventional pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat pain sometimes have a negative impact on the immune system, GI tract, liver, and kidneys. Additionally, they don’t always work as well as we would like them to – for humans as well as our pets.

CBD is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory which can help your senior pet experience better joint health in their Golden Years. Please stop in for a free consultation for your pet Friday or Saturday 11-4 to speak with a Certified CBD Consultant or call 978-985-4592.

Auto Accident Injury Treatment

Auto accidents are scary, and we know that they can cause a variety of injuries, including some that are severe and debilitating. In many cases, chiropractic care can help. At The Russell Center for Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Beverly, MA, we look for the root cause of your injury to treat it. Dr. Sheri Russell will help you return to a pain-free life following your accident.

Common Auto Accident Injuries

Injuries occur based on the way the accident happened. One of the most common injuries is whiplash. Other common injuries are back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, muscle soreness, and more. Knee trauma is common if your knee hits the dashboard. Accidents can also cause trauma to the ligaments in your spine or your spinal discs.

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash is one of the most common in rear-end accidents. It occurs when the neck and upper spine are snapped in a violent back-and-forth motion. The resulting upper spine injury can cause chronic pain, aching, and stiffness in the back and neck. Without treatment, the condition can worsen and lead to headaches, dizziness, and other health complications.

When Should I Seek Auto Accident Treatment?

After an accident, it is important to get treatment right away, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Some injuries, like whiplash, take days or weeks to present symptoms. Dr. Russell can detect these conditions early and treat them before they worsen. She can also detect underlying conditions that you may be suffering from. For example, back pain could be from a herniated disc. Dr. Russell will find and treat your injury, not just your symptoms.

Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

When you visit us, Dr. Russell will create a personalized treatment plan for you. We often use spinal adjustments to treat back pain and whiplash. Realigning the spine will alleviate tension and pressure. We also provide physical rehabilitation and exercises, which will improve your range of motion after an accident. For soft tissue injuries, like muscle strains, our chiropractor can use muscle stimulation or trigger point therapy to improve blood flow and promote healing. Naturally, treatment will vary based on your injuries. 

Contact us for an Appointment Today

At The Russell Center for Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Beverly, MA, we provide natural, non-invasive treatments to help you heal after an auto accident. Whether you’re seeking chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, or SoftWave, our team can help. To learn more about our treatments or to schedule your appointment, call us at (978) 927-2607 today.

When you need to take care of the most important piece of equipment you own (YOU), we are here for you!

Back Pain Treatment

Back pain can be debilitating and can significantly affect your quality of life. Not only that, but the discomfort can become chronic if it is left untreated. At The Russell Center for Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Beverly, MA, we provide various treatments to eliminate your pain and help you return to your normal routine quickly.

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can occur due to a variety of causes. For example, not exercising regularly, poor posture, and not using proper lifting techniques can lead to sprains and strains. You may even have back pain from certain infections. Some additional causes of back pain include: 

  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Herniated discs
  • Endometriosis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Kidney stones
  • Kidney infection

Treatments for Back Pain

At our practice, we use various treatments to provide relief from back pain. Some methods our chiropractic may recommend include the following:

SoftWave Therapy

Softwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment which uses shockwaves to enhance healing, decrease inflammation, and encourage blood flow. While a single session of SoftWave therapy may ease your pain, we often recommend a package of treatments to see the full benefits. If you’d like to try this treatment, we are offering an introductory price for all new patients. I highly recommend SoftWave for its many benefits and quick, easy application.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help relieve the discomfort and tension in your back. Not only that, the therapy also relaxes the body, releases endorphins, and increases happiness. Our massage therapist Catherine Peachey is here by appointment and we promise, you will feel amazing after she treats your back.

Acupuncture

Combining acupuncture with other treatments can help eliminate your discomfort. Along with that, the treatment can reduce inflammation that may be contributing to the back pain. Our Acupuncturist, Dr. Henry Lee is particularly interested in the treatment of orthopedic and sports injuries through the synergy of traditional and modern medical theories and methodologies.

At-Home Remedies for Back Pain

There are several at-home remedies that you can try to reduce your symptoms. If you experience minor back pain, some remedies you might consider include: 

  • Heat and cold therapy
  • Stretches
  • Manage stress
  • Change your diet
  • Exercise regularly
  • Get enough sleep
  • Yoga
