OUR BLOG
Celebrating Deaf Awareness Month: A Commitment to Communication and Wellness September is Deaf Awareness Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the rich culture, language and contributions of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Here at Family Chiropractic Plus, we see this as more than just an observance; it’s a powerful reminder that true health and wellness are built on a foundation of clear communication, understanding and inclusivity. Communication is the bridge that connects us. In healthcare, that bridge is essential. When communication is clear, accessible and respectful, patients feel seen, heard and empowered. For members of the Deaf community, navigating a world that primarily communicates through sound can present significant barriers, especially in a healthcare setting. We believe it is our responsibility to help break down those barriers. Our Commitment to the Deaf Community in St. Petersburg Our mission at Family Chiropractic Plus is to help you become the very best version of yourself, and that promise extends to every member of our community. We are committed to providing a welcoming, accessible and supportive environment for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients. We understand that effective communication is key to your care. Our team is dedicated to: • Ensuring We Understand You: We are prepared to utilize various communication methods, including writing, visual aids, and are happy to work with Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services or a patient-provided ASL interpreter to ensure consultations are clear and comfortable. • Providing Patient-Centered Care: We take the time to listen, ensuring you are a full partner in your healthcare journey. Your comfort and understanding are our top priorities. • Creating a Safe Space: We are dedicated to fostering an environment of respect and patience, where every individual feels valued and understood. Wellness is for Every Body Just as your nervous system is the communication highway for your body, clear communication is the pathway to holistic wellness. Chiropractic care helps ensure your body's internal communication lines are functioning optimally. In the same spirit, we strive to ensure our communication with you is just as clear and effective. This Deaf Awareness Month, we celebrate the strength and vibrancy of the Deaf community. We also reaffirm our commitment to being a healthcare partner you can trust. Your journey to health starts with being understood. Contact our St. Petersburg clinic today to learn more or to schedule your appointment.
Here in St. Petersburg, we love our active lifestyle, from walking the pier to enjoying our beautiful beaches. But for the over 100 million Americans who experience chronic pain, daily life can be a significant challenge. According to a recent Institute of Medicine report, chronic pain affects more people than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. Living with pain is debilitating. At Family Chiropractic Plus, we believe that understanding the underlying causes of pain is the first step toward finding effective relief. September is Pain Awareness Month; an initiative started in 2001 to educate the public about this widespread condition. In an effort to bring awareness to our community, we've gathered 10 essential facts about pain. 1. Pain is the #1 cause of disability in the United States. Pain causes more long-term disability than cancer and heart disease combined. The number of sufferers is staggering, with 100 million Americans living with chronic pain. 2. Your attitude can affect your pain. Research from Oregon Health and Science University found that individuals who have a proactive attitude and seek ways to cope with their pain tend to have better outcomes than those who focus on the pain itself. This is why a holistic approach that includes managing the mental and emotional aspects of pain is so important. 3. One in three people is personally affected by pain. More than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain each year, and another 25 million experience acute pain from an injury or surgery. It can affect anyone, but it is most common in adults aged 24 to 64. 4. Women may experience pain differently than men. A 2005 study found that women tend to report more pain throughout their lifetimes compared to men. However, women also tend to seek treatment more quickly and often recover faster. 5. Pain is incredibly costly. Pain costs our country an estimated $560-$635 billion annually in lost workdays, medical expenses, and other benefits. That's about $2,000 for every person living in the U.S. 6. Pain is a top reason for doctor visits. After the common cold, back pain is the number one reason people visit their family doctor. A survey by Research! America found that while most sufferers (63%) see their family doctor, 40% also make an appointment with a specialist, such as an orthopedist or chiropractor. 7. Pain significantly affects the workforce. The American Productivity Audit found that workers with a pain condition lose an average of 4.6 hours of productive time each week. An estimated $61.2 billion per year is lost, not from absenteeism, but from reduced performance at work. 8. Smoking can make pain worse. Studies show that smoking increases your risk of developing back pain and can intensify chronic pain for those with conditions like fibromyalgia. The pain is often reported as more intense in smokers than in nonsmokers. 9. Pain disrupts sleep. An estimated 20% of American adults report that pain disrupts their sleep a few nights a week or more. This creates a difficult cycle, as lack of sleep can interfere with mood, healing, and overall quality of life. 10. The weather can affect pain. You're not imagining it! Changes in barometric pressure, especially common here in Florida, can cause increased joint pain for some people, particularly those with arthritis.

While many people associate chiropractic care with back and neck pain, its benefits extend much further. One of the most common yet often overlooked conditions we help manage at Family Chiropractic Plus is arthritis. This condition, which causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, can significantly impact your quality of life, but you don't have to manage it alone. Understanding Arthritis Arthritis is a condition that affects joint health, and its symptoms typically worsen with age. If you're experiencing any of the following, you might be dealing with arthritis: • Pain and tenderness in your joints • Stiffness, especially in the morning • Swelling, inflammation, or redness • A feeling of weakness or buckling in the joint • Decreased range of motion You are not alone. Millions of Americans live with some form of arthritis, from osteoarthritis to rheumatoid arthritis. This condition can prevent you from enjoying your favorite hobbies, working comfortably, and living the active St. Petersburg lifestyle you love. Before turning to more medication, consider a less-invasive and highly effective treatment: chiropractic care. How Chiropractic Care Helps Arthritis At Family Chiropractic Plus, we look beyond just the symptoms to address the root cause of your joint pain. Studies show that chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to treat joint pain and reduce inflammation. Types of Arthritis We See • Osteoarthritis: The most common form, affecting the flexible cartilage of the joints. • Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic autoimmune disorder that targets the joints. Routine chiropractic care can benefit both forms of the condition. Our pain management strategies, combined with non-invasive treatments, can help you find relief without long-term reliance on painkillers. Our Methods of Chiropractic Treatment Every person’s experience with arthritis is unique. We develop a holistic treatment plan that addresses your specific pain points while improving your overall mobility and strength. Our techniques include: • Extremity Joint Mobilization: We gently work with the joints in your hands, wrists, feet, and knees to identify restricted areas and improve your mobility. • Chiropractic Adjustments: By correcting misalignments, we can reduce restrictions not just in the affected joints but throughout your body, which helps lower overall inflammation. We also offer other supportive treatments to enhance your care, such as massage therapy, heat/cold therapy, and personalized physical therapy exercises. Common Questions About Chiropractic Care for Arthritis Seeking treatment is the first step toward relief. Here are answers to some common questions we hear from our St. Petersburg patients. Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Arthritis? Yes. For osteoarthritis, chiropractic care is one of the safest treatment methods available. For inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, we are still able to provide safe and effective care, though we may modify our techniques. We will never adjust a joint that has active, swollen inflammation. Instead, we can work on the surrounding tissues and muscles to relieve tightness and pain. Can a Chiropractor Help With Arthritis in the Lower Back? Absolutely . Spinal manipulation is one of our primary services. By gently realigning the spine, we can relieve pain and tension in the lower back. These adjustments also improve overall joint health, increase mobility, loosen tight muscles, and can even boost your energy and sense of well-being. How Often Will I Need to See a Chiropractor? Many patients feel significant relief after their first visit. However, consistent, regular visits are typically the most effective for managing pain and healing the body over time. The frequency of your visits will be tailored to your specific condition and goals, which we will discuss with you. Start Your Journey to Relief at Family Chiropractic Plus If arthritis pain is affecting your life, don't let it hold you back any longer. Chiropractic care at our St. Petersburg clinic won’t just help you manage your pain day-to-day—it can help improve your joint function and slow the progression of your arthritis over time.
