Fibromyalgia

Dr. Jack Alajajian and his staff treat a variety of different conditions, including Fibromyalgia. This is a lifelong chronic condition that negatively impacts your quality of life. Widespread pain spreads discomfort throughout your entire musculoskeletal system. Everything is affected, from your joints to your soft tissues. Chiropractic treatment offered at ChiroCareLA.com provides relief without reliance on medication. To learn more, contact our Glendale, CA, office.


 


Fibromyalgia is difficult, both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Medical experts have found no known cause for its development. The only possibilities are genetics, certain infections, and severe physical/emotional distress. When you see a traditional Western doctor for fibromyalgia, you’re given pain medication. That’s not the case with your Glendale, CA, chiropractor. Dr. Alajajian and his staff focus on treating the roots of your symptoms. By treating what worsens your symptoms, your quality of life increases.


 


When an area of your spine moves out of its normal positioning, this is known as a spinal misalignment or subluxation. These are awful for your fibromyalgia. This is directly due to how a subluxation interrupts your body's normal functioning. Your spine is the central hub for your entire nervous system. It delivers all the messages from your brain to your body. The subluxation blocks these messages from getting through. The results: your entire body is thrown off-balance.


 


At your appointment, our staff evaluates your entire spine. Our team quickly locates the misalignment. We can correct it right away. Using either his hands or a small tool, Dr. Alajajian pushes the vertebra back into place.


 


At ChiroCareLA.com, your needs are our biggest concern. Treatment at our Glendale, CA, facility greatly improves your quality of life! To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jack Alajajian and his staff, visit their website or call 818-246-3600.

Importance of Strong Cores

Of all the things we can do to maintain total body wellness, one of the most important is keeping our cores strong. This isn’t just a matter of liking the way we look or being in competitive athletic shape; our core muscles provide critical support to our spines and hip bones. At ChiroCareLA in Glendale, Dr. Jack Alajajian and his team are committed to helping our patients sustain wellness over the course of their lives, and for that, it’s necessary to understand some basic aspects of the core and how to care for it.   The muscles of our abdomen are made up of several layers that are all shaped differently. The deepest core muscle is the transverse abdominis, which wraps around our visceral organs in horizontal bands. The internal and external oblique muscles are on the sides of the trunk and are involved with rotating it and bending the spine. The rectus abdominis muscle is the one on the front that forms the “abs” and connects to the sternum. It helps to stabilize the trunk, but keep

Hip Labral Tears

Do you suffer from pain, weakness, or stiffness in one of your hips? If so, don’t think that’s just a natural consequence of aging or healthy activity. Dr. Alajajian and his staff in Glendale, CA, believe everyone is entitled to a life free from pain. We practice holistic, non-invasive therapies to help our patients maintain wellness. As experts in the musculoskeletal system, we’re particularly concerned with hip pain and the possibility that a patient may be suffering from a hip labral tear.   A labrum is a ring of cartilage around a ball-and-socket joint. The ones on the hips keep the femurs and pelvis aligned and allow the legs to rotate completely and smoothly. But when a labrum tears, the leg may catch or make clicking sounds when it moves, and a patient may feel a deep, constant ache that is especially bad when they attempt to stand up or walk on stairs. Hip labral tears can develop because of an acute injury, or they may be caused by repeated stress over a long period of time.

Sacroiliac Joint Disorder

Do you feel an ache on one side of your lower back? Does your hip feel stiff, or like it can’t support your weight? Lower back pain is unfortunately common and has a variety of causes. But at ChiroCareLA in Glendale, Dr. Jack Alajajian and his staff are equipped to not only diagnose patients’ problems and treat them noninvasively, but also to help them prevent relapses. Today we’re going to take a closer look at one of the most common causes of lower back pain: sacroiliac joint dysfunction.   Although the name sacroiliac joint dysfunction might sound complicated, it’s really just a description of the joint that is being affected. The sacrum is a structure made up of fused vertebrae that dangles beneath our lumbar spines and connects to the pelvis. The connecting part of the pelvis is called the ilium, of which there is one on each side, and it includes the bony crests at the top of the pelvis. The sacroiliac joint is a shock absorber, but it doesn’t normally have very much mobility. Th
