  Have Knee Pain? Chiropractic May Help Knee pain is a common issue for people in our Gresham chiropractic practice, and Dr. Ramsey has happily provided many of these people relief. This is mostly because chiropractic care has been found to help with many types of  knee pain . For example, some people experience pain in and around the knee area due to degenerative arthritis. Research has proven that this condition responds very well to chiropractic–and rather quickly, too. In fact, one study published in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that individuals with osteoarthritis in their knees felt considerable pain relief and enhanced function after just two weeks of  chiropractic care . If your knee pain is due to a medial meniscus sprain, chiropractic could likely help with that as well. One case found that combining chiropractic with soft tissue treatment, rest, ice, and compression on the affected knee helped lower the intensity of the pain. Clear...

  We help a good number of people with back pain in our Gresham, OR office, and Dr. Ramsey has noticed that many cases of back pain originate in the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Investigation shows that about one quarter of all  back pain  begins in the SI joint, and now new research corroborates what we have observed in our clinic:  chiropractic  is an effective method for treating this pain. Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps Increase Movement in the SI Joint In the study published in the  Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies , 32 women who suffered from sacroiliac joint dysfunction were split into two groups and asked to take part in one of two treatment methods. The first group received a chiropractic adjustment isolated to the sacroiliac joint, and the second group got an adjustment to the sacroiliac joint as well as the lumbar spine. Researchers observed greater improvements in both pain and movement immediately following treatment, two days...

  Shoulder Pain is a common problem after an auto injury, and it’s something that Dr. Robert Ramsey sees often in our Gresham, OR office. The key to recovering from   shoulder pain   caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help. There are at least two ways that you can develop shoulder pain after an accident: by direct injury to the shoulder or by referred pain from the neck. Direct trauma can be caused by striking your shoulder on a hard surface in the car during the impact, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end collision. With this type of injury, you’ll often be aware of the pain shortly after the crash. More frequently,  Dr. Robert Ramsey  finds that shoulder or arm pain does not immediately appear after a collision, but starts a few days or weeks after the injury. This type of shoulder discomfort actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured soft tissue in your s...

  Neck and headache pain are common problems that affect millions of people around the world. If you suffer from this type of issue, you’re not alone. The good news is that chiropractic care is an excellent way to not only treat these common problems, but also help prevent future episodes. Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Neck Pain and Headaches For many years, people with  neck and headache pain  in Gresham, OR have been helped by the chiropractic adjustments of Dr. Ramsey. Our experience is supported by a recent review done in Canada that found that non-surgical, non-drug treatments are the best choice for neck and headache pain. The review looked at 15 studies from 1990 to 2015 and found that conservative treatment comprised of chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and stretches was recommended before turning to drugs or more invasive treatments. Previous scientific studies have shown that  chiropractic is effective and safe  for neck pain and many ot...

Closeup of female patient neck muscles massage Research Proves Chiropractic Helps With Chronic Pain after an Auto Injury We work with several auto injury patients in our Gresham, OR office, and a lot of these folks are struggling with chronic  pain  caused by an old collision. In fact, research shows that a significant proportion of rear-end accidents trigger pain and disability even ten years after the original injury. Dr. Robert Ramsey is here to help you avoid developing chronic symptoms by helping to restore the healthy function of your spine soon after a collision. The most frequent causes of chronic pain are reduced flexibility of your spine and the formation of  scar tissue in your spine . The ligaments of your neck and back can easily be harmed during a crash, and chiropractic works by minimizing inflammation and restoring norm...
