Arthritis
To understand what carpal tunnel syndrome feels like, it is first important to understand what the carpal tunnel is. As the name implies, the carpal tunnel can be thought of as a connective tissue passageway for many important structures traveling from your neck to your wrist. Within the tunnel lies many important ligaments and tendons supplying the hand, but most importantly the median nerve. The median nerve is the largest of three nerves that control movement and sensations in the hand, such as pain. Anything that causes pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the tunnel can begin to produce the symptoms of carpal tunnel. Typically, this pressure is due to repetitive work involving the wrist, but can also be caused by obesity, pregnancy, disease process such as rheumatoid arthritis, and injuries to the wrist.

Fibromyalgia
Plantar Fasciitis
If you are suffering from plantar fasciitis, call us at Yakima West Valley Chiropractic Centres to see what we can do for you. While you are at home we recommend stretching your plantar fascia. This will aid in the pain and help the healing process. A great way to alleviate pain, without medication, is to perform ice massages over the site of the pain regularly. It is recommended you do this at least three to four times and day for no more than 20 minutes at a time. Use caution not to freeze your skin tissue. If it feels to cold it probably is.
Cryotherapy
Statistically significant improvement was noted for 93% of the 28 patients studied in the Woodward study while under chiropractic care. In the research study chiropractic care consisted of spinal manipulation, PNF, and cryotherapy. Many of the patients were treated prior to the study with NSAIDS, soft colors and physiotherapy.
Medical Weight Loss
Looking to lose between 30 and 50 pounds in only 10 weeks? Our office can help. We offer the HealthWise program to individuals committed and ready to participate in a serious weight loss program.
Nutritional Counseling
Primary Care
While I try to make our client meetings fun and upbeat, there are more serious aspects involved. Itâ€™s humbling to see how our program can help improve someoneâ€™s overall health. After moderate weight loss; many people experience lower blood sugar levels, and lower blood pressure. After health-checkups with their primary care doctor, many patients are able to reduce or stop taking some medications. In addition, my clients have reported sleeping better and less knee and leg pain. Since this diet helps regulate insulin levels, most people on the diet experience more energy without the â€œenergy crashesâ€ they were experiencing before.
Emergency Care
Both clinics are open with early morning and evening appointments available. The Yakima clinic is open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday mornings. Same day appointments are available, as well as emergency care appointments. Our West Valley clinic is open 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Immunizations
Proof of Immunization. We will disclose proof of immunization to a school that is required to have it before admitting a student where you have agreed to the disclosure on behalf of yourself or your dependent.

Pregnancy

Kidney Stones
In addition to all of these possibilities, physical injury is not always the primary cause. Conditions such as obesity, arthritis, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections have been shown to give symptoms of low back pain. With all of these possibilities, it is important to find a doctor that takes into account all aspects of health to reach an accurate diagnosis. Fortunately, our team at Yakima and West Valley Chiropractic Centres has many years of education and experience to determine the correct diagnosis. Without an accurate diagnosis and treatment, even the most minor conditions can develop into serious lifelong conditions.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
If you live in Yakima youâ€™ve probably heard someone say they have carpal tunnel. As prevalent as carpal tunnel may be, many people remain unfamiliar with its signs, symptoms, and most importantly the best treatment choices. Our team at Yakima West Valley Chiropractic Centres has the experience and knowledge to provide you with the most important and accurate information regarding this condition. We hope this article will be a starting point to help you make the best decision for your overall health.

Depression
Mental Health
Right to Inspect and Copy. You have the right to inspect and copy your health information, with limited exceptions. To access your medical information, you must submit a written request detailing what information you want access to, whether you want to inspect it or get a copy of it, and if you want a copy, your preferred form and format. We will provide copies in your requested form and format if it is readily producible, or we will provide you with an alternative format you find acceptable, or if we canâ€™t agree and we maintain the record in an electronic format, your choice of a readable electronic or hardcopy format. We will also send a copy to any other person you designate in writing. We will charge a reasonable fee which covers our costs for labor, supplies, postage, and if requested and agreed to in advance, the cost of preparing an explanation or summary. We may deny your request under limited circumstances. If we deny your request to access your child's records or the records of an incapacitated adult you are representing because we believe allowing access would be reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the patient, you will have a right to appeal our decision. If we deny your request to access your psychotherapy notes, you will have the right to have them transferred to another mental health professional.
Anxiety

MRI
One of the most common and painful causes of back pain is a disc bulge or herniation. However, it is important to recognize that not all disc bulges or herniation result in pain. It has been found through MRI studies that as much as 37% of the American population has a disc bulge or herniation, and the vast majority of them are experiencing no pain or other related symptoms. Unfortunately, the people who are experiencing pain often describe it as severe and intense.
X-Rays

Sciatica
Many people wonder what sciatica feels like? Patients often describe the pain of sciatica as a slight discomfort to the most extreme unbearable pain. Sciatic pain can show up in different areas of the leg and foot, and many times the pain will come and go. Over years of time people tend to go through periods of pain that typically intensify as the problem goes unchecked.
Whiplash
Have you experienced a whiplash in Yakima ? Most car accidents in Yakima are rear end collisions. Each of which vary in severity. Many of our patients that are involved in rear-end collisions, donâ€™t even realize they have received injuries until weeks or months post-impact. Their medical doctors do not always acknowledge injuries that occur at lower speeds, but research today says differently. If you have been injured in an accident, this article from Yakima West Valley Chiropractic Centres will help you understand the options that you have.

Ulcer
Causes of subluxations range from accidents, overuse, or stress. Just as stress can contribute to the formation of an ulcer in the gut, it can also cause physiological changes in the body that result in the vertebrae in our back moving out of position. The time frame to correct subluxations varies by the individual, but our team at Yakima and West Valley Chiropractic Centres is trained to find and correct this issue.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
During the initial exam, Dr. Rountree also did some tests on my shoulders and found some problems there that he could also treat. When I came to the clinic I had not considered care for my shoulders. There had been pain in my shoulders for over a year and I had some Physical Therapy that did help some, but they were still hurting. The pain in my shoulders was constant and increased with lifting.
Frozen Shoulder
However, many people develop arm and leg pain gradually overtime, and are relatively unaware of what may have caused it. When the patient is perplexed of what may have caused the pain, vertebral subluxations, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and frozen shoulder become likely suspects. In addition to these sources of pain, switching or taking new medications such as; antibiotics, birth control, and anxiety medications has been shown to contribute to development of insidious arm and leg pain.
Tennis Elbow
Do you suffer from tennis elbow in Yakima ? The term tennis elbow has developed the misconception that the condition only affects athletes who participate in racquet sports. In reality, tennis elbow affects approximately 5% of individuals who play tennis, and is more commonly associated with occupations or hobbies that involve repetitive motion of the forearm and wrist. In fact, tennis elbow is a specific term that describes people who experience chronic and repeated episodes of pain that is isolated primarily to the top of the forearm and outside of the elbow.
Slipped Disc
Have you been told that you have a slipped disc or a disc injury in Yakima ? They can vary from slight to severe, but most require the attention of a trained chiropractor. Our team at Yakima West Valley Chiropractic Centres can help you understand your condition, and help you develop the best treatment option for you.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
Chiropractic is a profession within the health care field that deals with the neuro-musculoskeletal system of the human body. A doctor of chiropractic will diagnose, treat and prevent injuries and disorders of the nerves, muscles and bones. While a chiropractor will diagnose and treat these resultant injuries and disorders, the main objective of the chiropractor is the removal of nerve interference allowing the body to heal itself without invasive procedures and/or drugs. As would be the case with any other field of care, our patients at Yakima West Valley Chiropractic Centres receive a thorough consultation including history and examination of their major complaint. After considering possible causes of the patientsâ€™ condition a diagnosis is established and a treatment plan is created. Should a patient require treatment outside the scope of chiropractic care they are referred to the appropriate medical specialist in our area. As the science of chiropractic has evolved so have the techniques used within its practice. Common treatment methods have grown to include nutritional counseling, orthotics, lifestyle modification / exercise programs and physical rehabilitation programs. While these adjunctive treatments are certainly beneficial, spinal and joint manipulation remains the primary and most effective mode of treatment by our clinic. Statistics reflect that nearly 95% of patients that seek chiropractic care in Yakima do so as a result of musculoskeletal pain such as...

Heel Spurs
Do you have plantar fasciitis in Yakima ? When the band that connects your calcaneus (heel bone) to the toes, the plantar fascia, becomes inflamed it can cause a lot of pain. Plantar fasciitis is most prevalent in runners, obese/overweight individuals, pregnant women, as well as people that wear improper shoes with little to no support. Other likely causes and/or contributing factors may be too much standing, vitamin c deficiency, and a sudden change to increased activity. Likelihood of developing this condition increases between the ages of 40 to 70. Someone suffering from plantar fasciitis may experience stabbing pain in the heel and it generally is worse first thing in the morning with the first few steps of the day. The pain often reduces with continued walking, and it is not common to experience planar fasciitis in both feet simultaneously. If left untreated, a heel spur may occur.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis can be treated with soft tissue work. The goal is to restore full range of motion in the different joints of the ankle and foot while minimizing stress to the plantar fascia. It is also common to work on the muscles of the calf to improve flexibility.
