Winter is here. While the season is enjoyed by many, the cold and the season can bring out its’ own type of viruses like the common cold. Staying fit means staying active. But if you are already in pain due to an injury or alignment problem, the cold, dry winter can make it worse.
Cold temperatures and dry air, makes things and you contract.
Muscle stiffness happens to most people during the winter season. Your extremities are harder to keep warm, especially as you age, because your body’s job is to keep your core (the main part of your body – the trunk) at the proper temperature.
This can make it tough to move your arms, hands, fingers, legs and feet during this time of year. Muscles under the skin cannot be stretched as easily and take longer to warm up which makes your body more likely to become injured if you are not properly stretched.
Proper, routine, chiropractic care will help keep your body and spine in alignment so when you do warm up your body/muscles everything will flow with greater ease.
A weak immune system means you are more likely to get sick. With a lot of people coughing, sneezing and having the sniffles; germs are going to be spread.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can help your body stay in alignment which means your nervous system can operate at an optimal level keeping communication between your brain and body flowing freely and ready to defend against attack.
Pain is the body’s way of telling you something isn’t quite right. With less heat supplied to the extremities and the cold, dry air, your body is not going to be happy.
But, you can avoid some of these problems by keeping the blood flowing. When a blood vessel is blocked or pinched anything below that restriction is going to suffer; like an arm, hand or fingers. Chiropractic care can help keep everything in alignment allowing you to enjoy the winter weather a little easier.
You can find experienced well known chiropractors in Dickson like Dr. Scott Jutte. Dr. Scott Jutte has over 27 years experience helping people just like you live a pain free life.

Allergies are a year round problem for some people. While most people experience a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing during the spring season, winter has its own characteristic allergy problems. Thankfully, chiropractic care (a natural process with no drugs) is available to provide relief from seasonal allergies.
Seasonal allergies can develop both mild and severe warning signs. The symptoms vary from person to person. Some common allergic reaction symptoms are:
Currently no study has clearly explained the cause of allergens in the air and how they specifically cause allergic reactions to certain substances. However, chiropractic care centers in Dickson have seen stress (holiday stress for example) can increase your “hypersensitivity” to certain items or substances. With this hypersensitivity your body can go into overdrive mode and allergic symptoms can start to show.
Some of these problems are being connected to the inability of your central nervous system to properly communicate with the rest of your body. Without proper central control, various body systems start to act out and do things they shouldn’t be doing.
With chiropractic care from an experienced Chiropractor like Dr. Scott Jutte in Dickson, TN, your body’s internal communication system can be restored. It is like having two people on the phone with very bad phone reception. By manipulating your spine in a safe and proper manner, Dr. Jutte is able to re-align those two phones so they have crystal clear reception and can once again talk to each other.
Your nervous system controls your immune system. With proper communication throughout your body, it can help heal problems and reduce allergic reactions since every section is now back in communication with the brain.
Chiropractors in Dickson, like Dickson Chiropractic Clinic, provide a whole body balance of chiropractic care and suggested daily exercises to keep you and your body in tip-top shape. Let Dickson Chiropractic reduce your allergic symptoms and increase your health and well-being this season.

Does your back hurt every time you bend? Do you find it difficult to stand up after sitting for long periods of time due to back pain? If your answer is ‘yes’, you are not alone. After osteoarthritis and skin disorders, back pain is the most common pain in the US.
While surgery can be an option, a better first choice is the non-invasive Spinal Decompression Therapy.
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression involves a motorized traction table. This motorized traction device plays a crucial role in alleviating the symptoms of back pain. This method gently stretches the spine. he safe stretching of the body lifts pressure from your spinal discs. Spinal discs are gel-like shields that help protect the spine and sometimes due to gravity and/or an injury they can start to become misshaped.
By removing the excess pressure from your spinal discs, you can feel immediate relief. In addition, nutrient-rich fluid and oxygen can once again start flowing which helps your body speed up the healing process.
Many healthcare experts are now using this technique to relieve the patient pain. Chiropractic care clinics in Tennessee have found this decompression method is extremely effective in relieving sciatica, neck pain, and back pain.
After lying on the table, a strap will be placed around your pelvis and the other near the middle of your body. Depending on the method used, your chiropractor will have you lie face down or up. Your chiropractor will make adjustments to the table settings to provide the proper amount of stretching unique to your needs.
Not everyone is eligible to use Spinal Decompression Therapy. Based on your medical background and the cause of your pain, your DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) will determine whether you should use this method. Pregnant women are not usually allowed to use this technique; and if you have tumors, spinal fractures, or severe osteoporosis, you will not be able to use Spinal Decompression either.
Your Dickson Chiropractic Clinic, a well-known chiropractic care clinic in Tennessee, offers Spinal Decompression and can help you feel better fast. Visit http://dickson-chiropractic.com to learn how we can help you.

In most cases people take painkillers (drugs) to get relief. These painkillers may seem to be an easy-fix, but they can be hazardous to your health, addictive and in some cases only hide the problem, not solve it. However, chiropractic care helps alleviate the pain forever through spinal manipulation, therapies, and exercises. No side effects, drug-free, and non-invasive (no surgeries).
If you, or someone you know, is in pain, take this opportunity during National Chiropractic Month to learn more. Find out how chiropractic solutions from experienced professionals can help you feel better fast and without opioids (drugs).

ART or Active Release Technique is a soft tissue movement and manipulation method for treating problems like sciatica, tension headaches, and many other problems. It relieves tight muscles and removes stress from your joints promoting overall wellness of your body.
P. Michael Leahy, a certified chiropractor, is the inventor of the Active Release Technique. This method is used to help with many different types of pain. Since this ART technique involves soft tissue manipulation its technique is similar to that of deep tissue massage. Scar tissue from accidents, over-used muscles or other issues binds and ties down your muscles and tendons which can cause nerve problems and possible damage. ART is one method that can be used to solve these issues.
You can restore your mobility and flexibility between nerves and muscular tissues with ART. This technique is effective in alleviating:
The ART method is used to break up scar tissue, known as adhesion. Adhesion restricts the flexibility of muscles and joints and acts like glue creating pressure on nerves. Scar tissue traps the nerves further and with this increased scar tissue formation joints and tendons are strained, nerves are even further compressed and pain is the end result.
Your physician will exam you to find the exact location(s) of your scar tissue. Through the use of the ART technique he will target that specific area. Using this technique he will manipulate the soft tissue and break up the underlying scar tissue. Once the scar tissue breaks, blood will start to flow normally in that region speeding up the healing process.
If you have soft tissue related injuries you can benefit immensely from ART. Some of the benefits are:
Chiropractic care is a great way to relieve your muscular pains without taking any pain-killers or other drugs. If you want to heal your pain with the help of the chiropractic method, visit http://dickson-chiropractic.com to find a solution to your problem today.
September is Pain Awareness Month. A recent study has shown over 100 million Americans suffer from pain. The American Chronic Pain Association (ACPA) established September as Pain Awareness Month in 2001. Since then, numerous organizations have given their effort to increase public awareness on all aspects of pain and pain management.
A multicolored “pain warrior” bracelet is being used as a symbol for this awareness. The U.S. Pain Foundation developed the pain warrior bracelet as campaign to unite, strengthen, and encourage the pain community to keep fighting for proper care. The multiple color rainbow of the bracelet helps to symbolize unity and our resilience to overcome, our ability to face adversity, and our courage to continue living.
Pain Awareness Month is a time to help educate and promote the awareness of pain that may otherwise be invisible, like: lupus, arthritis, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and more. A wide range of events including workshops, lectures, social media activities, and virtual campaigns are held to enable people to step out of isolation that chronic pain can bring.

The Graston technique, also known as “Soft tissue instrument assisted mobilization”, is a tool assisted form of manual therapy used by osteopathic physicians, therapists, and chiropractors. This manual therapy is one of many techniques chiropractors can use to treat and relieve pain and discomfort.
According to chiropractors in Dickson, TN the Graston technique can help find the root of your problem area, muscle knots and restrictions like scar tissue. Your chiropractor can use these stainless steel tools to help break up the scar tissue, and muscle knots whether they are chronic or recent. Your chiropractor will of course take into account your pain tolerance level to ensure the best treatment option for you.
