The word “Chiropractic” means “A system of therapy in which disease is considered the result of abnormal function of the nervous system. The method of treatment usually involves manipulation of the spinal column and other body structures.” The word was coined in Amer.Eng. 1898, from chiro- “hand” + praktikos “practical”, the whole of it loosely meant as “done by hand.”

In locations where people suffer a lot of stress like Los Angeles, people tend to develop more physical problems and disabilities that they may not know how to handle, or a doctor is not quite able to fix.

Chiropractors can help lowered physical stress, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, increase lymphatic drainage (Lymph is a colorless fluid containing white blood cells, which bathes the tissues and drains through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream. And the Lymphatic System is the network of vessels through which lymph drains from the tissues into the blood.), calm nervous system, reduce pain, increase energy levels and more with Chiropractic Services, Massage Therapy , Accident Treatment, Cold Laser Therapy, Acupuncture, Spinal Decompression and Nutritional Remedies.

This is a hot topic these days.  While massage therapy has been around for millennia and Chiropractic treatment a lot less, there seems to be a debate between the two as to which is better for you. Let’s start with the purpose of each.

Massage therapy has been around for a long time and focuses on improving circulation and bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissue as well as relieving muscle tension and pain, increasing flexibility and mobility and clearing acid and waste from the system which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.  There are many different types of massages, including those that use essential oils that are rubbed into the skin and relax the body.

Chiropractic treatment specializes in adjusting the spine and nervous system to relieve tension and pain relating to these areas.  A lot of people can be out of alignment and not even know it!  They go through life with this and can experience random aches and pains (such as headaches) with no real explanation.  Then there is the category of those who’s alignment has been affected by accidents or injuries.  They can definitely feel the difference post-accident so treatment is necessary to get their alignment back in and make a full recovery.

In conclusion both types of therapy are very effective and have their uses.  We believe that both are necessary for wellness.  The massage therapy has its benefits and effectiveness and the Chiropractor aims to eliminate the problem for good.

Here at Courtyard Wellness we serve the West Hollywood community as well as greater Los Angeles and welcome all patients looking for immediate and long-lasting relief to their ailments!

There are mainly three principles on which the chiropractic doctors concentrates on that includes relief chiropractic, corrective chiropractic and maintenance chiropractic.

These are the major mistakes to avoid connected with a car accident:

 Mistake #1: Not seeing a physician, chiropractor or anyone after an accident.

Even a minor accident can affect your back and muscles adversely. Very often after a minor accident the symptoms don’t appear for days or even weeks. For this reason some people skip seeing any physician.
This can result in physical situations being overlooked until they really flare up, at which point (a) it may take longer to treat them and (b) they are no longer covered by the accident insurance.

A good rule is ALWAYS CONSULT A PHYSICIAN (CHIROPRACTOR OR DOCTOR) AFTER AN ACCIDENT.

Mistake #2: Getting checked out by someone who is not experienced with accident related problems.

A car accident is a very specialized type of injury, there are major and subtle symptoms that a car accident specialist learns to look for and treat to avoid future problems for the patient. Just like you would consult an eye doctor for eye problems you should consult an accident specialist after a car accident.

At Courtyard Wellness we have someone on staff always available for any accident patients.

Mistake #3: Settling your case before consulting a physician.

Your accident insurance entitles you to any physical treatment you need to get back to full health. This includes immediate life threatening medical treatment as well as any chiropractic, and rehabilitation treatment you need.

Sometimes you may get pressured into settling your case too fast, for this reason at times we recommend coming to see a physician before even seeing a lawyer.
