Rhode Island Chiropractor Dr. Estner

When you have migraines the first thing you want is a doctor who will give you a pill to get rid of the pain. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT over and over. From one neurologist to another, from pills to MRI’s, I got some relief but it didn’t last. Doctor Estner came along via a wellness seminar. I was frightened the first few time he adjusted my neck and back. Now I see him every three weeks for maintenance of the migraines (my choice by the way). I no longer carry migraine meds with me everywhere I go. I am amazed by the techniques used and the relief I receive with every visit. Obviously I still get migraines and take medication. The chiropractic visits have helped reduce the migraines from two to three times a week to two times a month. For me, that’s a blessing. Thanks Doc.

With everything a busy chiropractor needs to attend to on a daily basis, one area where a tremendous amount of improvement can be seen is patient education. Providing visual and audio learning opportunities for patients of chiropractic care can be one of the most efficient and valuable assets any chiropractor could imagine. On average, patients who are knowledgeable about their treatment and injuries are better able to maintain a schedule of exercise and remember instructions regarding movements to avoid, etc. Linking visuals with audio, through charts and models while explaining the anatomical functions, is a great way to explain different injuries, why pain happens, and how recovery occurs, while firmly implanting them in the minds of patients. Also, when a patient can see the physical details of the condition or problem, they are much more likely to understand and follow through with their treatment and any related exercises necessary to their recovery. When a patient continues ...

You may hear a great deal of advice concerning where to go when you are injured in an accident. You may be told the chiropractic care is not as widely accepted by insurance companies as traditional MD care. While as few as 10 years ago this may have been the case, alternative medicine practices have become mainstream and the norm for effective pain control management and overall improvement of health in every situation, including personal injuries from automobile accidents. More and more insurance companies are adopting chiropractic and other wellness and preventive medicine treatments as viable medical procedures. In their effort to promote wellness and good health, the rules are changing concerning chiropractic care for all types in injuries, not just those resulting from car accidents. Chiropractic care does more than improve pain from injuries however, it can help you to maintain the overall health and wellness of not just your spine, but your entire body.

Rhode Island Chiropractor Dr. Stephen M. Estner announces his alliance with RI Women & Infants Hospital to provide prenatal chiropractic care for pregnant women. Prenatal chiropractic care is well known for its benefits to pregnancy and delivery related back pain and other complications. Misalignment of the spine can occur in particular during pregnancy due to increased pressure on the pelvis, protruding abdomen and enhanced spinal curvature, and posture related issues. Chiropractors are all trained in caring for pregnant women. Some practitioners, however, obtain special training and certifications in advance training procedures for pregnancy and childbirth. Regular prenatal chiropractic treatments can eliminate or reduce pelvic and spinal misalignment which can cause a decrease in the amount of room the fetus has for development and can make pre-delivery positioning difficult. Keeping the spine in optimum health, as the connector for the nervous system, helps to maintain the ...

RI Holistic Medicine Chiropractor Dr. Stephen M. Estner found this article helpful concerning chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, and the holistic approach to healing the human body. The full article follows below. Battered health care needs holistic approach Posted By DR. STUART KINSINGER This week's column deals with the incredible connection between our minds and bodies. Our official health care system grew through the 1900s. When penicillin and other drugs were developed, it was easy to test them to see how well they worked. Research reduced everything to the smallest particle, with no concern for the patient as a whole. This approach to health is what philosophers term 'dualist', meaning that the mind and body are entirely separate and distinct. Most of us are well aware that this isn't reality. All of the mainstream health problems that suck up the majority of our resources are preventable through lifestyle choices and natural care approaches that use the...
