Chiropractic Treatment – How Much Do I Need?

February 1, 2015 by Dr. Keith McGahey

Listen to your inner voice and ask lots of questions!

I’m often asked ‘how much chiropractic treatment do I need?’ That’s not surprising at all since I’m a chiropractor. What is surprising is that this question often comes from people who have had a consultation with another chiropractor.

I’m always happy to see these people because it means they’re asking important questions and taking an active interest in their health. And that’s a good thing! So, how much chiropractic treatment does a person really need?

Chiropractic and Active Release - Dr. Keith McGahey - Bellevue, WA

Chiropractic and Active Release will have you feeling great in no time!

As a chiropractor, I have first-hand experience with Active Release Techniques (ART), and how it can boost the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment. I use it every day, and it is tremendous! But I’m often asked what makes ART different than other types of therapies. Why do I like it so much? The answer is an easy one: because it works! But what is it? And what makes it work so well?

Active Release is a treatment technique that helps break up scar tissue, and restore normal movement and function to your muscles and other soft tissues. And in my opinion (and in the opinion of many professional athletes), it does it better and faster than anything else, especially when combined with Chiropractic treatment.

With that in mind, here are 5 reasons why I think chiropractic and Active Release are so great together.

Whiplash Injury Myth #3: Drunk Drivers Don’t Get Hurt In Car Crashes

December 22, 2014 by Dr. Keith McGahey

Alcohol increases your risk of whiplash injury or death.

Alcohol not only increases your risk of crashing, but increases your risk of whiplash injury and death.

There is a widely held belief that alcohol keeps people from being hurt during a crash. And that sober people don’t have the benefit of that ‘protection’. In fact, most of us have seen a headline where a drunk driver runs into another vehicle, killing the occupants of the other vehicle while escaping without a scratch.

This notion comes from the idea that a drunk driver is more relaxed during a crash, and thus better able to withstand injury. This just isn’t true – I wrote about this in an earlier whiplash injury article. In reality, it’s not good to be relaxed during a crash, and there is certainly no benefit to being drunk during a crash, not for anyone involved.

Whiplash Injury Myth #2: No Damage = No Injury

December 9, 2014 by Dr. Keith McGahey

You can suffer a whiplash injury even when there is little damage to your vehicle.

If you read my last article, Whiplash Injury Myth #1, you’ll know that relaxing during a car crash is just about the worst thing you can do. Now hopefully you’ll never be involved in a crash, but for the sake of argument let’s say that you are. You’re sitting a red light minding your own business, and all of a sudden BAM! Your head and neck snap back as you’re struck from behind by another vehicle.

You get out of your car to survey the damage, but all you find is a little scratch on your bumper. You breath a sigh of relief and realize how lucky you are, but two or three days later your neck starts to hurt… a LOT. And people are looking at you funny. There’s no way that little ding on your bumper could have caused a whiplash injury… is there??
