Brought to you by: Mendez Chiropractic Center

It is crucial to recognize the symptoms of a stroke due to the recovery being that much better the earlier the  person having a stroke is treated.

Syptoms are as follows,

Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only 1 side of your body.

Sudden vision changes. 

Sudden trouble speaking .

Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements.

Sudden problems with walking or balance .

If you have any symptoms of a stroke call 911 or other emergency services right away .  

When the body supply to the brain is interrupted or blocked for any reason, the consequences are usually drastic. Control over movement, perception, speech, or other mental or bodily functions is impaired, and consciousness itself may be lost. Disruptions of blood circulation to the brain are known as stroke, a disorder that occurs in two basic forms, both potentially life threatening.  One is a clot which is a blockage of blood circulation, the other is a hemorrhage which is the bleeding of a blood vessel in the brain.

With both these conditions, time is of the essence, calling emergency/rescue is critical for the persons' survival.

Why see a Chiropractor for headaches?

Brought to you by: Mendez Chiropractic Center


Headaches are considered one of the most frequent complaints, and have been identified as the fifth most common reason for chiropractic treatment. It is estimated that one person in three suffers from severe headaches at some point in life. But did you know that chiropractic treatments can reduce the number of headaches by treating the cause of the pain?

Most persons afflicted with mild recurrent or isolated headaches do not consult physicians, (evident by a huge over the counter headache relief business) therefore, the true incidence is unknown. Did you know that chiropractors treat headaches sufferers with great results?

Your question might be, why go to a chiropractor, if I can deal with a headaches with a bottle of Tylenol? In most cases, an occasional headache is really not that serious. What about the ones that occur 2-3 times per week and are getting even more frequent? Pain is your body's warning sign that something is wrong. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious health problems in the future. If the smoke detector in your home stated beeping, would you just pull out the batteries? Same thing happens when headache pain is "silenced" by headache medication.

World-wide, more than 13,000 tons of aspirin are consumed per year, with a major portion utilized for the relief of headache. Unfortunately this is a temporary solution that masks a much more complicated condition.
