Inspiration In The Field of Healing

I Want To Thank Girlz B Sweet For This Awesome Article Written About 

Discovery Chiropractic and Wellness Center

Girlz B Sweet is always looking for successful women to draw on their experiences that led them to be an inspiration to young girls in their community. Today, we interviewed Dr. LaTanya Bowman owner of Discovery Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Charlotte, NC and asked her some important questions about her accomplishments.

Dr. Bowman is originally from Winston Salem, NC, but currently resides in Charlotte, NC. Not everything she does is about work. For fun she enjoys reading books, salsa dancing, listening to Classical music. Dr. Bowman is multi-talented and plays the flute, as well. In her words, “I love to travel. My favorite place to travel is the Caribbean.” 

It took a lot of hard work and dedication to reach the level of success that she has experienced. Upon graduating from high school, she chose to attend North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC and majored in Athletic Training. By selecting this major, she was able to secure several internships at Division 1 universities, giving her exposure to training with some of the best sports programs in the nation. During her intern experience, Dr. Bowman became more intrigued in the chiropractic field when she noticed that the chiropractor was getting athletes better, quicker. From that experience, she decided to attend Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, TX, earning her doctorate degree in 3 ½ years. 

Girlz B Sweet knows that this type of success does not typically start in adulthood, so we asked Dr. Bowman who inspired her when she was a girl. “My mom. She used to always drop me off at school and would say that I was going to school to learn how to stand on my own two feet and not have to rely on anyone else.” She continues to be inspired today by her parents. “They are there for the physical and economical support. When I need someone to tell me that I’m doing good, I can always rely on them.” She also stated that her classmates from both undergraduate and chiropractic school continue to feed me with affirmations and referrals.

A major part of success is giving back to the community and Dr. Bowman does just that. She is very involved at the local schools. She goes out to schools and talks to youth about spinal health. She’s also initiated a Backpack Safety program and plans on doing more of these programs in the near future. 

Dr. Bowman believes that young girls who need motivation to achieve should always be around people who want the same thing that they want and who don’t push them down. “Be around people who are doing better than you are because it will push or motivate you to do better, too.” She adds, “In order to be successful, you have to do things you’ve never done before.”

Thank you, Dr. LaTanya Bowman for sharing your girl power of leadership, outreach, and the power of healing. Learn more about Dr. Bowman by visiting her practice Discovery Chiropractic and Wellness Center, at http://www.discoverychirowellness.com/

How Can Chiropractors Help With Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain is a very common problem in today's work force and everyday living. Sometime within our life span, everyone will experience some kind of shoulder problems. Like with any other conditions or injuries, the sooner you get it evaluated and treated, the faster the problem can resolve and heal, and the less likely you will have reoccurring problems.

Here are a few signs and symptoms in which seeking care by a chiropractic physician can help with shoulder pain or injuries:

* Auto Accident injury (Car accident injury)

* Recurring shoulder pain, even if the pain goes away and then returns

* Unable to carry heavy objects or lift objects

* Shoulder pain that only occurs at night or at rest

* Swelling around the joint, sings of infection

* Pain that lasted longer than a few days

* Chronic pain

Chiropractic physicians can help treat and diagnosis these  shoulder problems to insure proper steps are taking to receive the correct form of care. Before taking matters into your on hands, and self diagnosing yourself for any type of injury or problems, make sure that you are receiving the correct form of treatment for your condition.

What Can You Do At Home For Shoulder Pain Injuries

Always remember, taking painkillers by themselves, can only hide the problem, but is not truly correcting the primary issue. One thing that is highly recommended for a self home remedy is the use of "RICE", Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevate (and some cases exercise).

Rest- First step with any injury is that you want to rest the joint No strenuous activities that may cause increase in swelling and aggravate the area even more.

Ice- As the saying goes, when you are unsure if to use heat or Ice, Go for Ice first! You want to Ice the injury for 20 minutes at least 3 to 4 times a day. Don't go over 20 minutes on the ice during the ice treatment, for you don't want the swelling to become worse.

Compression-Due to the location of the shoulder, it's hard to compress this area with an ace bandage, without some assistance from someone else helping you to wrap it. In this case, Anti-inflammatory medication can be useful to help decease the swelling of the area

Elevate (Exercise)- Elevation of the area, allows the swelling to move back into the heart. For any injury, this is highly recommended. Most importantly once the area has decreased in pain and swelling, mobility (movement) is important to get the joint moving properly.

Causes Of Shoulder Pain

There are several causes of shoulder pain, such has Rotator Cuff Injury, Neck Pain (which can cause the shoulder to become immobilize due to soft tissue injuries of the neck), Biceps Tendon Rupture, Arthritis, Ligament Injuries (such as AC Joint Tear).
