Chiropractic Care
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders that primarily affects the spine. The main goal of chiropractic care is to restore and maintain the normal alignment and biomechanics of the spine and other joints of the body. The primary treatments used in chiropractic are manual adjustments, which involve applying a gentle, controlled force to the joints and muscles of the spine. Chiropractic is a holistic approach to health, as it takes into account the entire body, as well as lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to diagnose and treat a range of conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. They may also recommend lifestyle and dietary changes to help improve overall health and wellness. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, as well as to provide advice on exercise, diet, nutrition, and other lifestyle modifications.
Chiropractic care is beneficial for many people, including those suffering from chronic pain, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal conditions. It can also be used to improve posture, reduce stress, and improve overall health and wellbeing. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals and are an important part of the healthcare team. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcome for their patients.
The philosophy of the chiropractic profession is rooted in the belief that the body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism. This means that when the body is in balance and working optimally, it can heal itself and maintain its own health. The chiropractic profession is based on the idea that the body does not need to rely on drugs or surgery to achieve this balance and optimal health. Instead, the focus is on helping the body restore and maintain its natural balance by making adjustments to the spine and other joints.
Chiropractors believe that when the spine and other joints become misaligned, the body’s ability to self-heal and regulate its own health is hindered. Adjustments to the spine and joints help to restore the body’s natural balance and eliminate interference. By restoring or maintaining balance in the body, chiropractors believe that the body can heal itself and maintain its own health without the use of drugs or surgery.
Chiropractors also believe that health is a result of the body’s overall well-being, which includes physical, mental, and emotional aspects. Therefore, chiropractors strive to provide care that not only focuses on the physical, but also the emotional and mental aspects of health. This holistic approach to health care allows for a more complete understanding of the patient’s overall health and can lead to more effective and lasting results.
The chiropractic profession is dedicated to helping people achieve optimal health and well-being through natural means. This is done by providing non-invasive, drug-free care that focuses on the overall health of the patient. By restoring the body’s natural balance, chiropractors believe that the body can heal itself and maintain its own health without the need for drugs or surgery.
Holistic health is an approach to wellness that incorporates the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual’s life. It seeks to promote overall well-being and a sense of balance in all aspects of life. Holistic health is based on the idea that our health is determined by the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of our lives, rather than just focusing on the physical aspects.
The physical aspect of holistic health focuses on the body, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and getting adequate rest are all essential to maintaining physical health. Additionally, managing stress and avoiding negative behaviors, such as smoking and drug use, are also important.
The mental aspect of holistic health focuses on mental and emotional health. Finding healthy ways to process emotions, such as through journaling, counseling, or meditation, can help improve mental and emotional health. Additionally, engaging in activities that promote positive thinking and feelings, such as creative hobbies, can also help to improve mental health.
The spiritual aspect of holistic health focuses on deepening one’s understanding of oneself and their connection to the world. Practicing self-reflection, connecting with nature, and engaging in spiritual practices such as prayer, can help to promote spiritual health.
The social aspect of holistic health focuses on developing meaningful relationships. Connecting with family and friends, engaging in meaningful conversations, and participating in activities that promote social connection, can all help to improve social health.
Ultimately, holistic health is about achieving balance in all aspects of life. By incorporating physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health, it is possible to achieve overall well-being and a sense of balance.
Car Crash Chiropractic Care
What you need to know about taking actions for your health and wealth after a car crash.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT TREATMENT AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT
There are very few things in this world that are more devastating than a car accident. People have to concerned about the damage caused to their property; and people need to be even more as concerned about the damage caused to their bodies after a collision. Dr. Bigge at PNW Chiropractic Clinic wants people to know that they can be injured even when there is minimal property damage, and they feel well enough to drive away from the scene of their accident. Injuries related to an auto accident injury can be tricky. Here's more information about what you need to do after a car accident and how we treat injuries here in our clinic.
DON'T WAIT FOR THE PAIN
The mistake that most people make after a car accident is walking away because they feel okay. There are people who choose to wait until they start experiencing pain before they seek treatment for their injuries. Here in our clinic, our chiropractor advises anyone who has been in an accident to get evaluated. This is the case for the driver and all passengers. The reason people need to be evaluated by a skilled and knowledgeable car accident injury health care provider is because any type of impact can cause the spinal column to move out of alignment. In addition, conditions like whiplash don't usually manifest themselves immediately. Symptoms associated with whiplash can take days or weeks to appear.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR AUTO INJURIES
Our approach to how we address injuries people get from car accidents is different from what most people would expect if they went to an emergency room or their family medical doctor. Dr. Bigge's top concern is to identify the functional and structural origin of pain and other symptoms. Generally, people will experience pain in neck, back, and shoulders after an accident. They may also have ringing in the ears, dizziness, headaches and vision problems. Dr. Bigge works diligently to find the core of people's injuries so he can address them specifically and appropriately.
There are a number of assessments performed by our chiropractor before treatment plans are developed. These assessments include a thorough review and evaluation of systems of the boy as well as a review of radiological tests. Treatment plans include but are not limited to spinal adjustments, muscle work, heat therapy, spinal decompression, spinal traction, therapeutic stretches/exercise, spine structure remodeling devices.

There is nothing funny about being in pain, or waiting for someone to figure out why. Here at PNW Chiropractic Clinic, our pledge to you is to get it right from day one. We will spend whatever time is necessary to make sure we identify the source of your symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment for your injuries.

Spine Ligament Injuries
Dr. Cameron Bigge is a spine ligament injury expert located in Anacortes, Washington.
Some of the possible symptoms of spine ligament injuries are: severe fatigue, sinus congestion, migraine headaches, visual disturbances, loss of voice, facial pain, facial numbness, difficulty shallowing, ear pain, ringing in the ears, bowel and/or bladder dysfunction, difficulty breathing, anxiety, disturbances in memory, numbness or tingling or a sense of weakness/heaviness in the arms and/or legs, difficulty breathing, drop attacks, increased intracranial pressure, TMJ pain, Vertebrobasilar artery ischemia, dizziness/vertigo, Cervicocranial syndrome, autonomic nerve system dysregulation, autoimmune conditions, balance difficulties.
How does Dr. Bigge evaluate for spine ligament injuries?
He takes specialized and specific x-rays.
What can be done for people with spine ligament injuries?
Dr. Bigge provides specialized care that is designed specifically for spine ligament injuries.
The spine is made up of only two types of anatomy: bone
(in your spine these are vertebrae) and connective tissue (ligaments). Injuries to vertebrae are called fractures. These we diagnose using general x-ray images. There are two different injuries to spine ligaments. One ligament injury is a disc herniation. Many people have heard of “discs”. These are the 23 spinal ligaments that provide spacing between the vertebrae and shock absorption to the spine. While the discs are very important, and can be quite painful if injured, they are not the most significant injury. If we feel your disc may have been damaged (herniated) an MRI study is used to capture its image. We will send you out for this test if needed. The most significant injury may be to the “spine support” ligaments. These ligaments connect and hold your vertebrae in position. There are 220 support ligaments.
Of the three injuries, the one that has the potential to be most problematic and cause long-term chronic pain is damage to the spine support ligaments - causing instability.
When these ligaments are damaged, that section of the spine becomes unstable, causing vertebrae to move excessively, creating inflammation and irritation to the spinal nerves. This injury also causes the joint or joints to wear out (degenerate) faster over time. This is the most common reason for chronic pain and disability. This injury is not tested for by most doctors and is left undiagnosed. Don’t worry, we will be using specialized x-ray imaging to test you for this injury, and are experts at diagnosing and treating them.

Spine Injury Expert
Car crashes, falls, sports injuries, etc. are trauma's that cause injury to your body parts. Body parts like muscles, ligaments, joint capsules, nerves, and bones. The most commonly overlooked body part that causes acute and chronic spine pain are the 10 spinal ligaments. Those ligaments are not overlooked at
PNW Chiropractic Clinic.
At your next appointment, ask your doctor what's your spinal ligament status? If they can't tell you or know what to do to evaluate and measure that, you are in the wrong office.
What does a spine injury expert do?
Evaluate and understand what the injuries (car crash, fall, sports injury, etc.) you experienced did to the commonly overlooked ligaments of your spine through specific x-ray films.
Why do I need to know what condition my spine ligaments are in?
Ligaments get sprained and sprained ligaments are painful. Right?
Ligaments take months to heal when cared for properly and may never heal properly if never cared for properly.
Sprained ligaments that do not heal properly lead to spine degeneration AKA spine arthritis.
Your acute and chronic pain may be from sprained ligaments and you may not even know it.
Schedule your appointment today to get your ligament and spine stability evaluated so you don't have to guess anymore about where your spine pain is coming from.
