This is a great cartoon. You have to realize that you need a bit of humor in your life. Your brain needs some release and some opportunity to laugh.
On a serious note, I’d love to be your Second Opinion…give Chiropractic a chance. I always say, “You haven’t tried everything unless you’ve tried Chiropractic!”

well maybe he didn’t really say me specifically, but he did say that he believes and the research proves that Chiropractic is a great option to treat Low Back pain and Gain Relief.!!!
Regarding Low Back Pain…about 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their life. The connection to a physical source isn’t always clear, since some people show no spinal abnormalities on an X-ray yet suffer excruciating pain. Here are the treatment options:
Chiropractic Treatment was the first on the list in a recent article by Dr. Oz in the Oprah magazine. I quote:
“Even when the pain is in the lower back, the problem tends to be with the entire spine, says Dr. Nazarian, a Los Angeles based Chiropractor. Chiropractors employ manipulation – adjustments of the vertebrae – to help align a patient’s spine, and often prescribe regular visits. “People come in only when they’re in pain,” Nazarian says, “But we need to think of our spine the way we do our teeth, using prevention to stay healthy.”"
This was a great article and great information. As a Chiropractor in Costa Mesa working with low back patients for over 20 years I know that we can help people and get them relief.
Dr. Oz makes the following recommendation: The research is positive on Chiropractic Treatment and physical therapy (which we do at our office) and stress relief. They all help each back pain, says Dr. Oz.
The key is to get moving again as soon as possible after the pain hits, and then make sure you take steps to prevent a return. Dr. Oz sees low back pain as a warning sign about overall fitness. If you’re active, your hips and back are flexible, your core strength is good and you’re coping well with the emotional challenges in your life, you back will probably not bother you. Overlook one of these areas, however and your back will let you know. And while the emotional link to back pain is controversial, there’s no question that stress can play a part in the muscle tension, especially in the lower back and helps…leading to trouble.
If you are to take my advice I would suggest you think of your spine as a big part of your overall health. Just like you take care of the prevention of your teeth, you should address and concern yourself with your spinal health.
Find out if you have any misalignment that may eventually cause you problems. Find out before you have an episode of low back pain.
Chiropractic is gaining more and more power with research and the day to day testimonials of patients getting better without drugs and learning to take better care of their spine and body.
If you have a question about the information above, please call or email my office.

It’s National Headache Week and what better we does our Chiropractic office in Costa Mesa do than offer you relief.
As a chiropractor in practice over 21 years in Costa Mesa I can say that I have been hundreds and hundreds of patients with headaches. There are also a million names for headaches: Migraine, Tension, Stress, Cluster, Trigger, Pain Headaches and many many more.
We also know that from research there is something they all have in common and that is there is usually pressure in the nerves at the base of the skull and in the neck that have pressure irritating them and causing them to either give you pain or also affect your muscles…which gives you muscle tension and tension of the neck and head.
With a check up in our office using a Postural analysis and using a computerized EMG testing we can find out if there is pressure on nerves of the neck and at the base of the skull. If there is it may be caused by a vertebrae or bone of the neck that is out of alignment. Chiropractors are specialist that are trained to detect if there is nerve interference and we are trained to gently put the bones back into alignment and allow your body to begin to heal.
Help us celebrate National Headache Week…send in a friend or family member who may be suffering. Find out if we can help them. Give them a chance at Good Health.

A recent study indicates that for chronic back pain there is good reason to get periodic maintenance adjustments to your spine for a number of months after the original pain and disability has been relieved to prevent relapses.
This new study shows that Chiropractors has an ability to adjust the spine and prevent recurrance of the original pain and prevent recurring disability. It is reported that 50 to 80% of the population is affected by low back pain sometime in their lives and the vast majority are still symptomatic after 1 year. One study found only 21% were pain free and only 25% were recovered from disability after one year.
The study was one where chiropractors were able to use adjustments of the spine to relieve pressure on nerves and gain pain relief for the patients. Pain and disability dropped substantially in both groups of the study during this intensive phase of care.
The study found that Manipulation is more effective than a placebo treatment.
This study reinforces previous finding that chiropractic is effective for relieving chronic low back pain…but it goes further supporting the importance of ongoing maintenance chare. As a Chiropractor in Costa Mesa working over 21 years with patients I recommend that my patients will see better results with period maintenance adjustments. This study confirms what we see in day to day clinical experience.
If you suffer from chronic or recurring back pain, we can very likely help you. Give us a call or send us a question and we are happy to find out if there is the possibility of helping you specifically.

Spinal Decompression Treatment
I just wanted to send you all a note and let you know that I just completed a Spinal Decompression Workshop and training this last weekend. As a Chiropractor in Costa Mesa practicing in California we are required on a yearly basis to continue to update our education. This was a training that qualified for Continuing Education Credit with our California Chiropractic Board.
This training gave me more information and more details on how to better help our patients with low back pain, leg pain and numbness that is in the low back or hip area and may be traveling into the leg/foot region.
The results and research are amazing with regard to the outcomes with this Spinal Decompression. It is a great tool to use in addition to Chiropractic Adjustments. You gain an ability to work with patients and get them out of pain quicker and faster and get them back to their regular activities.
If you are interested in this type of treatment or have been referred by you medical doctor please call our office and schedule an appointment to see if your case would qualify for this treatment.

Interesting question and one that I’ve answered more than once in the 22 years I have been in private practice in Costa Mesa as a Chiropractor.
I will talk about myself and my practice in Costa Mesa so you can understand if our office would be a good fit for you in particular.
I have an undergraduate Bachelor Science degree in Nutrition. This was a great way for me to enroll and get the science credits necessary and get some information about how our body works on the inside. I graduated from Park College in Parkville Missouri and then enrolled in Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Missouri.
To enroll in Chiropractic College you need almost the exact same requirements as you would to apply to medical School. There is an empasis in the biology, chemistry and science classes in addition to the Physics and much more.
Chiropractic College is a 4 year program, although some schools allow you to enroll year round and finish in 3 1/2 years. The courses for the first 2 years are the General Sciences and all the anatomy, neurology, physiology and the Lab that accompanies each of the courses. These courses are the same exact course you would take for the first 2 years of medical school with the same Text books and outline. After the first 2 years there is an emphasis in the Chiropractic Philosophy and the Chiropractic Technique. This is the beginning of the ability to participate in our Clinic at the school. The internship begins in the 2nd year and follow thru until graduation.
The amount of work and study that is involved with Chiropractic School is amazing. It was the best experience I have ever had with school. It is a wonder to learn how our body really works and be able with communication between the doctor and patient follow the path to find out what is really wrong with a person.
After 22 years and hundreds of cases in my office in Costa Mesa I can tell you I am very grateful for the extent and detail of both my undergraduate studies and my Chiropractic College. It has allowed me to be able to have the confidence to examine each patient and determine the next step … whether it is to take X-Rays or to order a special test, such as an MRI or to be able to begin a conservative treatment plan.
The success we have had in our office has been wonderful I really enjoy being a Chiropractor and really am thankful for all the hours and late nights studing…the tests and National Board….and the State Examination and Boards. This is what has allowed me as a Chiropractic Doctor to help my patients on a day to day basis.
If you have any additional questions please let me know.
Your Costa Mesa Chiropractor,

As a Chiropractor in Costa Mesa I get asked this question a lot…not by my patients, but by people I encounter who have never been to a Chiropractor. They tend to think they don’t have pain so Why would they need to go to a Chiropractor…They don’t have an injury so why would they get a checkup? …They haven’t been in an Accident, so why would they schedule an appointment with a Chiropractor?
Well….they real truth lies in the fact that as a Chiropractor in practice I get the opportunity to find out if there is ANY interference to your Nervous System that may be irritating nerves of your spine and NOT allowing your body to Function at 100%. This has very little to do with pain, injury or accidents. This has EVERYTHING to do with STAYING healthy.
“The effects of a Chiropractic Adjustment is not just orthopedic or neurological, But a Combination of Both. Improving the orthopedic and neurological components will IMPROVE the vascular systems which in turn IMPROVES the Health of everything.”
I would suggest that you consider getting a Check up with our office and find out if there is any misalignment with your spine. It’s similar to getting a check up and X-rays of your teeth with your dentist…before you tooth falls out from decay.
We are hear to answer your questions and help those that want to stay healthy.
Your Costa Mesa Chiropractor,
Dr. Brigide L. Daily, D.C.
